a Wrestling Wedding that draws

[Darkside Ron Garvin]

You'd have thought they'd have learned by now - wedding + wrestling ring = chaos. Always.

Chaos + Wrestlers = My attention

Well with any TV weddings be it sitcoms, soaps, movies, cartoons, weddings always have their problems......
Take when Pebbles married Bam Bam.... Or how many times some Soaps with which paternity tests, affairs and etc plays in... Only on TV, do one see weddings with suspense.....

I haven't thought that deeply into it, but I catch the drift of where you are going. My comment is based on the fact that Weddings for the purpose of "entertainment" as opposed to "lifelong commitment" are usually... Well... Entertaining.

Can't forget the Reality shows the Bachelor and etc, where they feature a wedding as the finally....
Anything to build a audience..... and get people talking as most wrestling weddings do.... be in Kane and Lita, Macho Man and Liz, ODB and EY, and the list goes on.... All ended with controversial fashion...

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

Look like it was the whole 2nd hour

The "Bully & Brooke wedding" edition of TNA Impact on Thursday, January 17 officially scored a 1.16 rating. The first hour scored a 1.07 rating before the second hour scored a 1.25 rating.

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.
