Ja’ Von’s Take: This is somewhat surprising to me as I thought the show was really good this week. The main event is a match that I recommend everyone should go checkout. I even stated on twitter that it was better than the six tag match on NXT from a few weeks ago. Impact had been going through a viewership slump for the past couple of weeks ever since mid May until last week when they crossed over the 300,000 mark. We have to remember to use our heads and remember that low viewership ratings aren’t the end all be all. We live a dsy and age now where some people don’t have the time or patience to watch two hours of wrestling so they just wait until they see it online. Impact may have dropped a little this week in viewership but let’s not conclude a verdict yet until we see the YouTube numbers.
