In what has been called Monday Night War II, Spike TV’s pro-wrestling program, TNA Impact, saw its highest ratings ever this past Monday. During its special live three-hour episode, Impact held 2.2 million viewers, becoming the most-watched edition in series history. The draw? Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan.
Impact easily beat the former high mark of 1.9 million viewers the series set in April 2008, according to Spike TV officials. The first hour of the special averaged 2.5 million viewers, according to Spike. However, Impact was no match for USA Network’s popular WWE Monday Night Raw series. Raw drew an average of 5.5 million viewers from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., well above the 2 million viewers the Impact special averaged during the same time period on Spike, according to Nielsen data.
