ME > EVERYONE ELSE! #0.3!
Okay, here's some facts:
-The worst rating TNA has ever done on Spike TV was a 0.6, on the March 29, 2010 edition (Thanks, Google!). It was going up against the post-Wrestlemania Raw with HBK's retirement, as well as typical Monday Night programming.
EDIT: Forgot the 0.5 post Lockdown episode. RVD just won the belt, WWE was doing the Draft, Spike went ahead and replayed Impact on Thursday (which everyone I knew watched instead of Monday). If anyone remembers TNA in 2010 you'd know that they deserved the low ratings at that time for sure!
-TNA haven't cared as much about ratings since they dumped Russo on his ass. They aren't trying to compete with WWE, WWE's the big brand name and TNA will never catch them in ratings. (Quote that if you want) They're interested in keeping the fans happy even if it doesn't draw. Roode didn't draw, but his title reign was great TV and we all loved it.
-You complain about them having nonsensical booking and pushing ex-WWE guys, well they deemphasized doing that in 2011. The booking isn't perfect. They've dumped all the WCW guys except Sting and Hogan (who's just a GM), they're still pushing ex-WWE guys. but it's for a reason. Bubba Ray Dudley's reinvented himself and become the best heel in wrestling, and Jeff Hardy actually brought some WWE machine star power with him (the last star WWE created), so they have a point to be there.
Any more complaints for me to debunk? This is fun.
