There's your Knockout PPV Main Event match, right there!
But, I like television ratings say a lot.
The Knockouts get a higher rating then the Mafia/TNA spots, I'd say because it's just a bunch of former WWE people doing the same things over and over again. That's not a "bad" thing, it just means people are tired of it. Whereas, the Knockouts -not only very attractive - have interesting/somewhat comical stories/segments that are new and draw people in.

Yeah Steve is right but I didn't think anybody was claiming they were literally the company's biggest draw. They just get the highest rated segments of IMPACT. They may not be the company's biggest draws in terms of selling PPVs and such, but it certainly says something. They are definitely popular and TNA should build on this.
"A few weeks prior to signing with WCW, I witnessed Hogan wrestle Flair on Nitro. Now strictly from a fan perspective, it was very hard to watch. What I witnessed that night was two legends that were shells of their former selves still trying to do it. Watching Hogan & Flair that night just wasn't right. In my opinion the bookers were just exploiting them to try to pop a number. It was a desperate situation and that's exactly the way it came across on TV."

Tommy noone really is selling the ppvs these days.TNA Buy rates are not that good I think they should cut back they don't need 1 ppv a month like wwe (which they don't really to be honest.

Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?
As much as the Knockouts do draw good TV ratings, it is pretty obvious that people buy PPVs for the top guys.

As for them being the "top draw", they had the highest rated segment, and that's not particularly good, but we shall see what TNA does in response. I for one, do enjoy the Knockout matches, they're better than WWE's. But that said, I watch TNA because my 3rd favorite wrestler wrestles there, AJ Styles.
I think they buy the PPVs for the "story"... it just helps that it's not the same two guys headlining a PPV month after month for years on end. That's not to say that they don't have repeating main events... but the story is there to make it interesting each time. WWE... they don't have that. And, as of late, it seems like they're incapible of ever doing that.
