TNA lives in a whole new world that is coming out now Bound for Famewith the new TNA World Heavyweight, Knockouts and International Champions in the form of Leon Slater, Indy Hartwell and Jason Hotch. But before that happened, there was The final episode of TNA Impact taped on October 8one that showed added excitement built into TNA’s show of the year. Wrestlenomics and: SpoilerTV: reported that the episode drew 214K total viewers and a 0.03 in the still-crucial 18-49 demographic.
By TNA’s standards, this was a good week for their flagship TV show, both in total viewership and the demo from the October 1st episode. Total viewers were up slightly, up 11% from 182K, while 18-49 was up 50% from a 0.02. There was less movement from the four-week average, although both categories remained steady, with total views up 3% from an average of 207k, while the main demo remained flat.
As the flagship edition of Impact prior to Bound for Glory, TNA focused on putting the finishing touches on some key matches while showcasing titles that wouldn’t be defended on PPV. This included a show headlined by a TNA World Tag Team Championship defense where Ryan Nemeth and then TNA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Nemeh successfully defended the titles against The Hardys.
Earlier on the show, AJ Francis, Brian Myers, Joe Alonzo and The Man of the City defeated Bear Bronson, Elia, Frankie Kazarian and Trey Miguel in a Call Your Shot Gauntlet Random Draw Advantage Eight Man Tag Team Match. The winning team’s earned run advantage was a non-factor because Ghazarian will ultimately walk away the winner of the Call Your Shot Glovewinning it for the second consecutive year.
