i still think more people watch TNA than ECW. wasn't raw barely getting a 2 in the ratings?
No. the lowest Raw dropped was a 2.8, since then its back up to the 3.2-3.5 range.

I thought tonights TNA show was much better than it's been in a year. Traci Brooks as a Knockouts "GM" is a good move and Sting doing the "Young talent need to respect the business angle" could go over great if it's handled properly. It's akin to his Millionaires Club character from the last days of wCw. With Foley coming in....I see him and Sting seeing eye to eye on this and Foley possibly cutting "anti-hardcore" promos like he used to do.
This could be a way to bring some structure back to the show...this business of everybody beating the shit out of everybody for no reason isn't working. The "cross the line" attitude they try to sell is just chaotic and confusing not only to casual fans but to the hardcore marks as well.
That's the angle Russo would use if he had half a brain.

and bring back chris harris and reform AMW
I agree, my only question is, is Sting a heel now or not? Kind of hard to tell. Obviously, they are setting up a match between him and Jarrett.
What do you guys think of Jarrett coming back? I know a lot of people hate Jarrett, but I've never had a problem with him. Of course I don't work with him so...
Harris would have to get back in shape first. He really looked bad in WWE. I'm sure he had a 90 non-compete clause in his contract so that should give him enough time to trim down a bit.
From Matt Loder:
Mick Foley threw out the first pitch at a recent Cleveland Indians game and in response to the internet rumours that he has signed with TNA, he reportedly said, "Well, I can say that is not true, though I may try out a pay-per-view with them," He apparently was oblivious to the rumours.
Foley's contract with the WWE is set to expire this Monday, September 1st, so he cannot legally sign with TNA until then.
