Powell's POV: The show opened with a low number. Without seeing the minute-by-minute ratings, it's not fair to blame the guitar solo. The lowest rated segment occurred when there were multiple commercial breaks, which is par for the course. The main event didn't perform well, but it was going against the heavily hyped John Cena and Batista segment on Raw. I've said it before and I'll continue to say that TNA and Spike made a mistake by not putting their show on an hour before Raw starts. Speaking of Raw, I did not get the quarter-hour breakdowns, but I will post those if they come in.
