Around SBN: Chauncey Billups Injures Achilles Tendon

TNA Impact moves to Mondays on March 1st

So sayeth Dave Meltzer on the WON site and in the new newsletter.  More forthcoming, presumably.  Definitely the right move after the 1/4 ratings.

Hm.

Bischoff takes over, has a wrestling show on Monday’s.

Thats odd. I’ve seen this before.

But seriously, this is about as desperate an act to revive something from the past (i.e. Vince bringing back ECW, then trying to justify it being better than the original) just for the sake of ratings. Seriously, this isn’t good for TNA. History all over again.

Damn it feels good to be a Buckeye!

Aspects to second guess...

I agree that this is the time to make the move, but going from 9-11pm instead of 8-10pm, as Spike TV has currently listed for March 1st seems extremely dumb given that they drew a 1.7 rating in the unopposed hour on January 4th and a 1.3 rating in the two head to head hours. Can they sustain a 1.3 head to head rating week in, week out, when they can’t debut stars of the calibre of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Jeff Hardy, Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman every week? Maybe it’s worth a punt, but I’d say it’s a long shot.

Meltzer reported the time for the first show in his website update breaking the news. What he wrote in the latest Observer newsletter was a bit more vague, but I assumed the website update superseded the information there. It makes sense that their regular time slot will be 9-11pm as that’s the listed time for the first show, unless there are some scheduling issues on that date that force them to start later than they usually would.

In the age of Tivo and dvr, is going to head to head really going to accomplish anything? I don’t see this changing anything positively or negatively.

In this world of DVR, this could work out. Thursday is a big day for prime time shows. Monday doesn’t have much going on. I would have gone with Tuesday though. Go up against ECW.
