Sunday's WWERoyal Rumble show finished at number three on Nielsen's Twitter TV rankings, trailing only CBS's Grammy Awards Show and ABC's "The Bachelor" reality show.
Nielsen calculated a unique audience of 2.430 million for the Rumble, meaning that many distinct Twitter accounts generated at least one tweet related to the Rumble.
The total number of impressions, which is the number of times any tweets about the Rumble were generated, was 27.082 million, which was even higher than the overall second place "The Bachelor."
For the entire week of January 20-26, the Rumble ranked number eight on all of television based on the "unique audience" figure. However, the total impressions for the Rumble for the entire week ranked WWE at number three.
The following are highlights of a recent interview with Kurt Angle from The Sun newspaper in the UK:
On his desire to return to WWE: "I can't say when. My (TNA) contract is up in September and I've left my options open. I'm very happy in TNA.Dixie Carter has treated me very well and always been there for me. But, I can't lie to myself anymore. I can't lie to TNA or WWE. Yeah, there is that desire to go back. I just don't know when. It could be this year. It could be next year. I don't know when."
"It's not a bad thing to stay in TNA at all. I just have some unfinished business in WWE. Whether it's this year or three years from now."
On Hulk Hogan: "Hulk Hogan's a good friend of mine. It was disappointing, but we had to make a company decision. It was, 'Do we keep Hulk Hoganon without the physicality of wrestling?' Because it seemed like Hogan wasn't going to wrestle anymore. And, 'Will he benefit the company?' I believe he was benefiting the company,"
"I think that any amount of money he wanted was worth getting him, but the company at the same time had to make a business decision and decide if they wanted to keep him and pay him the big money or if they wanted to get rid of him and find some younger talent."
On Sting's departure from TNA: "Sting is the cornerstone of the company. Kurt Angle is not. A.J. Styles is not, as much as people want to say is the Face of the Company or Kurt Angle has helped the company more than anyone. Sting has always been our cornerstone and the man. He's your go-to guy. To lose him is about as bad as it can get."
