Mistico To TNA?, Impact Rating Peaks With Knockouts Match, Judas Mesias

— Mistico has sent out feelers to TNA in hopes of working with the company in the future. Due to his heavy schedule and value in Mexico, at best he’d probably be a special attraction performer for TNA.

— Regarding Judas Mesias departure from TNA, he was asking for a contract matching what he was earning in Mexico, but was turned down. Mesias makes approximately $100,000 a year under a full 5-night-a-week, 52-week schedule in Mexico. His feud with Abyss had run its course and they didn’t really have any other plans for him. However, a possible return to the company shouldn’t be ruled out as the company wouldn’t mind using him again if and when a storyline for him comes up.

— Last night’s edition of Impact drew the usual 1.1 rating (1.12 to be exact). The show’s rating peaked with the Roxxi Laveaux makeover segment & Velvet Sky vs. Gail Kim match (which wasn’t promoted at all during the show) as the quarter hour drew a 1.18 rating. Karen Angle’s “big announcement” drew a 1.11 quarter hour rating. The show then dropped to a 1.09 rating until the women’s match. The main event pitting Kevin Nash & Christian vs. Tomko & A.J. Styles lost some viewers after the Knockouts match, drawing a 1.10 rating.
