From Dixie Carter's Q&A on tnawrestling.com:
Question: What has been the biggest mistake you've made so far running TNA? I know the list is long but narrow it to 1 if possible.
Dixie Carter: The move to Monday nights. We have a loyal audience on Thursdays and that move proved that. Even the ratings of the Thursday replay (which did not force viewers to watch on Monday), were as high or higher than the debut telecast.

One Year Ago: TNA vs. WWE Monday Night War II
One year ago today, TNA iMPACT! moved to Monday nights to compete against WWE Raw. That night, Hulk Hogan made his debut with TNA, while Bret Hart made his WWE return. Four months later, iMPACT! moved back to Thursday nights. They were not able to compete against Raw in the ratings.
A year later, iMPACT!'s tv ratings are basically the same, and their World Champion has been indicted on drug charges and plans on pleading guilty to them.
A year later, the WWE has embraced their youth movement and made The Miz, a former reality tv star, WWE Champion. Their tv ratings have basically remained the same also.

Chris Nowinski Comments on TNA's Continued Use of Chair Shots to the Head
"I was extremely pleased to see the concussion storyline as it was executed on TNA. I think it was a positive portrayal of the issue, and it was great to see Matt Morgan treated as the babyface for his concern about the consequences of returning to the ring so soon after a concussion. Matt Morgan has been an energetic support of the Sports Legacy Institute and this issue, and I was proud to see him able to reach millions with this message.
However, I must note that I'm not happy the storyline was generated by a chair shot to the back the head of Ken Anderson, another SLI supporter, but I was told it was not scripted that way.
I hope TNA notes the cause and effect of that hit and puts more in place (training, fines, etc.) to prevent future use of the chair in that manner and keep top talents in the ring."
