Note from Ryan Clark: Many people have asked why they would end the show with a lousy TNA Knockouts segment. The answer is simple – the Knockouts continue to draw the highest TNA ratings on a weekly basis so they built up that someone would be stripping at the end of the show. It’s actually a smart move although the segment was a creative disaster. If you don’t believe me, look at that .97 number above.
