Yeah that confused me too. I'm not sure how that's even possible. Unless the quality of matches on the show is so good that it eclipses all the other rubbish. I've never watched TNA though so I really can't comment either way.

I guess the point is that impact is like a weekly show and raw is like a 3 hour advert for t shirts, the live events and subway. But as a promotion tna still cant sell the brand get a good reputation or produce top ppvs now.

and how is aces and eights worse than 3MB?!

bad influence (daniels and kaz) have been on form so thats fair. they have the best entrance music too ha
