– The rating and viewership for Impact Wrestling fell heavily from last week to mark the lowest points of the year to date. Thursday’s episode brought in a 0.05 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 248,000 viewers. Those numbers are down 29% and 17% respectively from last week’s 0.07 demo rating and 299,000 viewers.
