It was a passably enjoyable two hour wrestling show, but with no incentive or excitement to tune in next week. So no surprise there was a drop-off. TNA will need to generate some buzz with the current occasional viewers to give them incentive to make Impact &#8220;appointment TV&#8221; again if they hope to rebound to 350,000 viewership numbers, and they&#8217;re just not doing that at this point. It&#8217;s also not great news\u00a0regarding the influence the Hardys have on the product right now that with all of the &#8220;Internet buzz&#8221; for their gimmick, it hasn&#8217;t translated into being a\u00a0ratings difference-maker in any sustained measurable way.\u00a0They could have done a better job by really hyping the Hardys vs. Wolves match last week,\u00a0but their focus was on the One Night Only PPV instead.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-385167305\"><div id=\"pwtor-3082535714\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>TNA Impact last night drew 277,000 viewers.
