In fact Smackdown beat Raw with 38,000. In the UK ratings are also a lot closer, although WWE are still ahead. Maybe Kurt wasn't blowing his trumpet in recent interviews. -------------------- I Own This Gaff!

Btw, interesting fact: WWE & TNA are shown on the same channel over in Australia. As far as TNA beating WWE in the ratings, I do know for a fact that Xplosion was kicking Raw & SD's collective asses a while ago in India and probably parts of the Middle East. I also do remember at one time TNA doing better in Germany because of Eurosport having more viewers than whatever channel WWE's on but now I don't know how things stand seen as how TNA's got a deal with the Premiere channel. In the UK the difference between WWE & TNA's ratings isn't always all that big too for that matter. So basically yeah, TNA's been growing. iMPACT's ratings in the USA might not show it but TNA is definately growing.

It's also interesting to note that SmackDown beat RAW this week. Below are the numbers from the listing for the Top 100 Pay Television Programs: 28. TNA IMPACT 43,000 38. WWE SMACKDOWN! 38,000 44. WWE RAW 36,000 Although TNA did beat out WWE in the ratings in Australia the week before WrestleMania, for the next two weeks, TNA was far behind Raw and Smackdown. For the week ending 4/5, Smackdown was No. 22 in Pay TV with 106,000 viewers and Raw was No. 23 also with 106,000 For the week ending 4/12, Smackdown was No. 12 with 123,000 and Raw was No. 15 with 119,000 viewers. TNA was not in the top 50 either week
