They tuned in to see Tommy Dreamer!
Last time I skipped a TNA wedding type affair I missed Kurt Angle with a Fire Axe, now Hogan doesn't move as fast as JJ so I thought it would be worth a watch just in case

The overall and second hour ratings were the highest since August 23, which remains TNA's top performing episode in the new timeslot. The Aug. 23 episode featured Hulk Hogan's advertised return and the finale to the A.J. Styles/Claire Lynch business.
Impact peaked at the end of the show with a 1.34 rating for the wedding. There wasn't as significant of a bump as you might expect considering the top of the hour started with a 1.24 rating.
By comparison, the peak rating for the Aug. 23 episode was a 1.40 rating for Hulk Hogan's advertised TV return at the end of that show.
First Hour Break Down
Q1: Impact opened with one of their best Q1 ratings in the new timeslot, scoring a 1.16 rating for the immediate Genesis PPV fall-out, wedding show introduction, Jeff Hardy cutting a promo, and set-up for the opening match.
Q2: Once people got a taste of the show, Impact dipped sharply to a show-low 1.02 rating for Hardy & James Storm vs. Daniels & Kaz, and one commercial.
Q3: Impact increased slightly to a 1.07 rating for Gut Check, one commercial, and Kenny King vs. Christian York.
Q4: Impact dipped slightly to a 1.04 rating for various backstage and video segments and two full commercial breaks.
Second Hour Break Down
Q5: Impact got its second wave of new viewers tuning in for the top of the hour, scoring a 1.24 rating. This segment featured Sting calling out Hulk Hogan ahead of the wedding, plus one commercial.
Q6: For the second time in three weeks, TNA placed a Knockouts match after a Hogan-themed Q5 segment to hold the audience. The segment scored a 1.23 rating for Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky, followed by one commercial.
Q7: Impact dipped slightly to a second-hour-low 1.19 rating for Bobby Roode and Austin Aries cutting a promo before being confronted by Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez. There was also one commercial, then introductions for the wedding angle.
Q8: Impact scored a 1.34 rating for the final wedding intros, one commercial, and the full wedding angle that went the final ten minutes of the show.
