Both TNA and ROH on Destination America were up significantly from last week, returning to their usual levels. The TNA combined audience was their best (by 2,000 viewers) since moving to Wednesday, while ROH did better for its show that aired after TNA than for the original airing.

- 8 p.m. ROH 128,000 viewers

- 9 p.m. TNA 353,000 viewers

- 11 p.m. ROH 134,000 viewers

- Midnight TNA 100,000 viewers

Combined:

TNA: 453,000 viewers
ROH: 262,000 viewers

I'm a little amazed the numbers seem to fluctuate so much (especially in TNA's case). I think this must have more to do with DA than that it does with either promotion.

It just seems like the time a lot of people go to bed, surf around TV and find wrestling. Or it could just mean that Impact is awesome

Except that if the case was Impact being awesome then the numbers would be up every week, and yet the week they had their best and most built up show, they did their worst numbers ever.


I'd expect ROH to fluctuate in terms of which showing people watch because they're both on at reasonable times, but the fact that the total viewership for both shows fluctuates so much from week to week (and usually in concert with each other) confounds me.
