TNA Executive Gives Props To WWE For NXT, JoJo Splits Ring Announcing Duties, SmackDown - Twitter

- WWE SmackDown made Nielsen's Twitter TV ratings once again this week and ranked #2 among non-sporting events for the night, behind NBC's Red Nose Day special. SmackDown had a unique audience of 512,000, which represents the number of Twitter accounts that commented on the show. This is down from last week's 873,000. SmackDown had total impressions of 1.508 million, which represents the number of times the show was tweeted about. This is down from last week's 2.172 million.

- Greg Hamilton, who has been working WWE NXT live events as a host, split ring announcing duties with JoJo at Thursday's NXT TV tapings. I thought Hamilton came across very well in the role.

- TNA's Bob Ryder tweeted the following after Samoa Joe made his WWE debut at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable this week:

Congratulations @SamoaJoe and congratulations @WWE for what you are doing with the @WWENXT project. The future of our business is bright.
