-- TNA officials are said to be disappointed over the cable rating for Hulk Hogan's debut on last week's episode of iMPACT!, which actually scored a 1.2 rather than a 1.3 (rounded down from 1.24). Company brass were expecting a much higher number for the TNA debut of the wrestling legend.

Viewers tuned out as the show progressed with the first hour averaging a 1.26 rating and the second hour averaging a 1.21 rating.

Viewership was way up in the males 18-49 and 19-34 demos, scoring a 1.10 and 1.06, respectively. Both were the show's highest ratings since March 19, 2009.

-- On her Twitter account, TNA president Dixie Carter gave glowing praise to the Awesome Kong vs. Hamada matches held this past weekend. Carter wrote: "Heard Kong v Hamada matches on this weekend's shows were off the charts and will change the way people perceive women's wrestling. Go girls!"

-- TNA and NFL All-Pro defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch are teaming up again for a special charity event featuring members of the Tennessee Titans and the superstars of TNA Wrestling at the Wildhorse Saloon next Monday. Click here for more information.
