Last Thursday's edition of TNA Impact - which featured the debut of Kurt Angle - scored a 0.9 rating. That number is slightly up from last week's 0.8 rating. However, their audience share was up as it did a 1.9. In contrast, UFC's Ultimate Fighter reality series scored a 1.0 with a 1.6 share.

On Thursday's Impact, Bobby Roode said that he would be making his decision regarding a manager at the Bound For Glory PPV. Well, the surprise was pretty much given away when a brunette woman's cleavage appeared behind him. His new manager is of course, Tracy Brooks, who has been left off television since March.

AJ Styles, Konnan and Christopher Daniels were upset about being moved out of the main event at No Surrender at the last minute. It was explained to them that the Angle announcement was so big it would override their match, but they didn't see it that way. Also, Jarrett wanted to be in the ring when the announcement occured since Jim Cornette was coming out to set it up.

In Spike TV's November mailing, they did not list TNA's move to an earlier prime time slot or the signing of Kurt Angle.
