4. TNAs Ratings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIdur04LtO8 On TNAs first Wednesday night show on Destination America, they had 273,000 viewers tuning in. Thats only 28% less than the prior week which drew over 400,000! Meanwhile, Raw had an average of 3,900,000 viewers, which means Impact did less than a tenth of what their biggest competitor drew. Can things get any worse? At TNAs peak, they had about a third of the audience of Raw, and fans were still making fun of them on a consistent basis. Those were the glory days compared to now, as theyre sinking fast. Their potential successor in Ring of Honor brought in about 160,000 people to their show, which may not sound like a lot, but without any top former WWE wrestlers in their company, and a history of being on cable, thats not too shabby. September is only a few months away, so things need to turn around quickly. One way to do that would be to not go and do something silly like having one wrestler try to murder another...

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
