[MISC] TNA iMPACT! Ratings Higher Than Originally Reported & More

Archive

– PWInsider.com reports that WWE signed Tracy Taylor to a developmental deal, and that she will report to Deep South Wrestling. She is married to WWE developmental talent Mike Taylor.

– In Lance Storm’s latest Web commentary he discusses how the talks he’s had with WWE about ECW will impact his wrestling school:

Let me assure all of those who have made a commitment to attend Storm Wrestling Academytm as well as those who are considering attending in the future, Storm Wrestling Academytm is my primary concern and will continue to operate as scheduled. I have put a lot of time, effort, and money into opening a facility I can be proud of and I plan to continue running what I consider to be the best wrestling training center out there … Storm Wrestling Academytm is doing very well, and I plan to keep it as my primary focus. There is a chance I will play a role in future ECW projects but it will be done around or in consideration of my Storm Wrestling Academytm schedule. As much as I love the idea of an ECW rebirth and being a part of it, any role I have in it will have to be a limited one.

He also has a new Q&A up here, which includes an interesting account of a normal RAW road schedule.

– The Thursday, April 27 TNA iMPACT! scored a 1.0 cable rating, according to PWInsider.com. This differs from the earlier-reported 0.8 number, which in fact was just a preliminary figure. This is slightly above last week’s 0.9, and included positive key male ratings (1.6 for M18-49 and 1.2 for M18-49) and an average audience of 1.1 million viewers, up 20% from their old timeslot.
