-- The #1 Contender's Knockout Battle Royal featuring Angelina Love, Brooke Tessmacher, Madison Rayne, Mickie James, ODB, Rosita, Sarita, Tara, Velvet Sky and Winter prevented Thursday's Impact Wrestling from drawing the show's lowest rating of the year as the match outdrew the entire show by a sizable margin.
Thursday's show garnered a 1.06 cable rating off hours of 1.02 and 1.10, flat with last week's year-low 1.06. The #1 Contender's Knockout Battle Royal, which kicked off the second hour, surged the rating from a 1.04 to a 1.23—an 18.3 percent increase. The subsequent quarter hour featuring Eric Bischoff's celebratory promo plummeted to a 1.00.
Only the final quarter hour drew near the Knockouts, a 1.11 for a heavily publicized angle involving New York Giants player Brandon Jacobs and Sting confronting World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode.
