TNA Wrestling's debut on POP TV Tuesday night brought in 255,000 viewers for the first airing of the show and 90,000 viewers for the immediate replay.
For a comparison, during November on Destination America (in 57 million homes as compared to POP TV's 72 million), the show averaged 244,000 for the first run episodes and 84,000 for the replay for shows taped months earlier as opposed to the same day with promises of a new start and the ending of a several month long World title tournament.
TNA has always gotten hurt whenever it has switched days, even though it's technically the third straight week on Pop on a Tuesday. The previous two shows did 111,000 and 136,000 viewers and were "best of" shows with little publicity.
In the first semifinal match last night, EC3 advanced by defeating Bobby Lashley while in the second semifinal, Matt Hardy beat Eric Young. EC3 beat Hardy in the main event of the show to win back the TNA World title. Kurt Angle was also on the show, doing a promo about his farewell tour that led to an announcement of a match with Drew Galloway on next week's show.

It's interesting that Dave seems to see this number as a negative, but Dave Scherer from PWInsider is seeing it as a good number.
