-- Last week's episode of TNA iMPACT! scored a 1.3 cable rating, with an average audience of 1.7 million viewers. iMPACT! was ranked second in the Males 18-49 demographic among basic cable networks, with a 1.10 in that particular demo — the program's highest figure since April of this year. Despite the heavy hype, footage of Hulk Hogan's press conference announcing he was joining TNA was the lowest rated segment of the show.

Q1: 1.21 - Desmond Wolfe/Angle promo; AJ Styles/Samoa Joe promo
Q2: 1.27 - Tara vs. Alyssa Flash; Team 3D promo
