Payout Perspective:
Decent ratings for a night that didn’t have too many big names. The drop off of approximately half the viewing audience from Impact Wrestling might draw a flag considering the hope is that there would be carryover.
One has to wonder how effective they will be down the road converting the TNA crowd since their multi promotion star, King Mo, got owned.
Dont read too much onto some of the replay numbers as if you tape bellator you know you have to add at least 30 minutes overage or you will miss the end of the main event.
Still a viable #2 organization. We will have to see if WSOF can mount a legitimate threat to them in the future, but not now.
