Despite ‘Delete or Decay’ buzz, TNA viewership drops

Posted on by Josh Nason

Despite the best efforts of Jeremy Borash, Matt Hardy, Vanguard 1, Senor Benjamin, and wrestling Twitter getting the word out about the sequel to ‘The Final Deletion’, the Thursday night edition of TNA Impact Wrestling dropped in viewership.

The ‘Delete or Decay‘ focused episode on POP TV drew in 337,000 viewers, down from last week’s 351,000 viewers. A big reason for that was the regular season return of the NFL on NBC that did a 16.5 rating.

TNA’s viewership has dropped for two straight weeks and with America’s biggest sport as prime competition for the next few months, it might be a while before it gets any relief.

By comparison, ‘The Final Deletion’ episode of Impact did 410,000 viewers.

Aside from the ‘Delete or Decay’ spectacle, the show featured first round matches for the TNA Grand Championship, lots of Billy Corgan, and an EC3/Bobby Lashley brawl.

POP TV released ‘Delete or Decay’ on YouTube Friday.

Watch TNA’s Delete or Decay featuring Matt & Jeff Hardy

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The sequel to Matt and Jeff Hardy’s Final Deletion spectacle aired on Thursday night’s edition of Impact, but this time it was the Hardy brothers teaming up with Rebecca Hardy, Senor Benjamin, and Vanguard 1 in an attempt to stop Decay from invading the Hardy compound and abducting King Maxel.

Delete or Decay featured not only another battle from the Hardy estate, but the Hardy family preparing for the encounter by visiting Matt’s personal zoo. The zoo included a giraffe that Matt claimed to be the vessel for the soul of George Washington, a kangaroo that had assumed the soul of “Smokin'” Joe Frazier, and a cage full of spot monkeys.

The full nearly 20-minute long director’s cut is available to watch below:

And for an optimal experience, you can sync the video with Bryan Alvarez and “Filthy” Tom Lawlor’s running commentary of the battle.
