Jeff Jarret PWR Video, Impact Rating Drops, TNA In Mexico, Sandman Pleads
- Jeff Jarrett was recently fluff interviewed on long running internet wrestling show, the Pro Wrestling Report. Here is the clip:
- Thursday’s TNA Impact on Spike TV drew a 1.0 cable rating which is down slightly from previous weeks, but still within their usual fluctuations. The final segment with Mick Foley drew the biggest number understandably, but not enough to make any real “Impact.”

HA! TNA does 1.0 and the mgic show featuring the diva’s did 1.4 and WrestleMania did 1.2, take the hint and realize that you’ll never be WWE or WCW for that matter.
WWE maybe the top show right now but I believe TNA will be the top show someday if people just give it a chance.
I swear; the entire McMahon family, Steve Austin, and the Rock could show up on Impact and BEG for people to watch it and the ratings MIGHT spike to 1.2.
I notice the Knockout roster seemed to be an after thought in the Jeff Jarret interview. When will Jeff realise that they are one of his best bets for greater success!
It was pretty lame for Jarret to make a stand for young wrestlers over the known legends, then turn around and introduce Foley. It took the steam out of the angle.
As for Impacts ratings, it will never be great without Jarret seeking out investors.
