Impact News: Viewership Sees Slight Decrease This Week
After last week’s post-Redemption edition of Impact Wrestling on Pop TV pulled in 308,000 viewers, there was a slight decrease in those numbers this week.
Last night’s episode of Impact that saw Su Yung take on Rosemary in the main event only drew 299,000 viewers (a 3% decline) on a night when it was opposed by multiple Conference Semi-Final games in the NBA Playoffs. These games also led the way in the 18-49 demographic, boasting a total of 10 million viewings spread out over three separate airings. It should be noted that the fallout from Redemption show last week went up against the opening round of the NFL Draft.
In this week’s Cable Top 150, Impact fell to #124 after placing #118 the week prior. This week, 4 out of the top 5 were all NBA Playoff programming, the one exception being MTV’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

Leon Slater Pulled From WrestleCon Ricochet Match, Promoter Responds
Leon Slater had been announced for a dream match with Ricochet at the WrestleCon Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow during WrestleMania weekend, but was pulled from the card last week with TNA citing “partner conflicts,” disappointing fans who were anticipating the bout. The removal came as a surprise given the high-profile billing for the event.
WrestleCon promoter Michael Bochicchio told Post Wrestling’s John Pollock and Wai Ting that Slater was not scheduled to lose to Ricochet and that WrestleCon had no communication with TNA regarding the decision to pull Slater from the show. Bochicchio’s comments raise questions about how the situation was handled and what led to the last-minute change.
