TNA Impact shattered their ratings record last night, scoring just over a 1.2 rating, the highest in the history of the series. I haven't heard a share or an estimated audience yet. Previously, the only time TNA has scored a 1.2 rating was the two hour "This is TNA" Monday Night special on 2/12. Even more interesting is that reruns of CSI: Miami were the lead-in, while reruns of the UFC Ultimate Fighter reality series followed TNA. That will have to help TNA's standing with SpikeTV as they continue to negotiate a new deal for what many in the company hope will be a two hour series.
The rating may also give TNA some momentum going into next week's episode, which in a departure from the usual format of the series, will be built around just TNA champion Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage vs. Rhino. That match, which will run the duration of the entire episode, was considered by many inside and out of the company (including our own Richard Trionfo) to be the best bout ever held on TNA Impact, dating back to the series' debut in June 2004.

It's good to see TNA grabbing some new viewers out there!
