The WWE and USA Network often use Neilson ratings to gauge interest in their programs. With technology increasing, the ratings systems haven't changed that much, and we're stuck not getting an appropriate quarter-hour breakdown. Fightful.com brings you a breakdown of the company's weekly Youtube Rankings for each show.
TNA's episode of Impact last week had substantially more Yoututbe buzz than recent episodes, as Lashley vs. James Storm and the debut of Aron Rex both passed up last week's top viewed segment. Lashley vs. Storm, a champion vs. champion match had been heavily built around Lashley capturing all of TNA's singles titles.
The EC3/Drew Galloway/Moose/Mike Bennett situation hasn't picked up as well as TNA would have liked, as their segments were the two bottom viewed on the program. Brother Nero, Matt Hardy and Vangaurd 1 continue to garner interest, well over a month after "The Final Deletion."
