I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Has anyone else here imagined a paralell universe where instead of giving Dixie a Wrestling company to mollify her, her daddy bought her an NBA team to destroy instead? Or a furniture company? Or a squeaky toy? Or aanything else really?

I suppose my point is why did Dixie choose Wrestling as an outlet for her incompetence, when Panda Energy would have thrown money at whatever she wanted just to get her out of the house.

quote:

There was said to be panic and chaos backstage at the TNA Impact Wrestling tapings on August 6th, the second night of this week's tapings. The cause was the news that came out about WWE possibly moving SmackDown back to Thursday nights.



This combined with everyone expecting some kind of announcement regarding TNA's future with Spike TV caused people to worry. Regarding reports of Spike not renewing TNA's deal and TNA management denying those reports, there are many people in the company that talk like they believe management but others are more skeptical.



TNA officials reportedly held a meeting the next night that left some talents in an upbeat mood but officials did not give a clear answer about their future with Spike. Talents were told previously that they would be getting good news at this week's tapings.



It's no secret that SmackDown going to Thursdays would kill Impact's ratings and any chance of a deal they may have with Spike and other networks. Spike likely would not move Impact to Friday nights because of Bellator MMA. Sources at Spike have noted that there is nothing new between the two sides since the reports from last week came out.

Assuming Impact sticks around, would Smackdown going to Thursdays really hurt TNA? I'm under the impression that the TNA audience is mainly diehards who will never watch any WWE programming regardless.

A significant portion of TNA's audience, something like 40% chose Raw over Impact in 2010 and that was with TNA loading up every show they could and bringing in all sorts of stars. The vocal TNA fans hate WWE (or say they do) but a big percentage of their casual viewers are primarily WWE fans.

I'd think the majority of the TNA audience are people who will watch any sort of wrestling no matter how bad. The actual "diehards" can't be more than a few thousand people.

UK fans, get ready! TNA announces Fan Interaction packages for the MAXIMUM IMPACT 7 Tour, along with the names of more international wrestling superstars who will be competing on the events in Glasgow, Manchester and London. Extra great seats, which were previously held off, are also being made available.

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley will be making his first ever appearance in the UK as an IMPACT WRESTLING superstar at the January 2015 shows.

MVP, Taryn Terrell, The Beautiful People and Kenny King have also been added to a Tour roster that already features Samoa Joe, Gail Kim, Bully Ray, Magnus, James Storm, Bobby Roode, Mr Anderson, Eric Young, Gunner, Abyss, EC3, Tigre Uno and Rockstar Spud.

In another major announcement, TNA today confirms that the company’s trademark six-sided ring will be used on all MAXIMUM IMPACT 7 Tour events – the first time it will have been seen in Britain since 2010.

TNA President Dixie Carter said: “The MAXIMUM IMPACT Tour is a highlight of the year for the TNA Superstars who travel to these big events and meet the incredible fans.

“With an unmatched Fan Interaction experience, a roster of the best professional wrestlers in the world and the return of the six-sided ring, the shows scheduled for the 2015 MAXIMUM IMPACT Tour will be our best yet.”

Fan Interaction tickets for the January 2015 Tour go on sale on Friday August 15 at 10am – along with the extra great seats – and allow fans to meet some of their favourite wrestlers before each event.

The strictly limited meet & greet passes are available for all three shows and cost £35 plus booking fee. Those purchasing Fan Interaction tickets must also have a regular event ticket, which are sold separately, in order to gain access.

There will be eight TNA superstars at each meet & greet. Each wrestler will sign a maximum of two items per fan. TNA received positive press coverage and fan feedback last year after making a number of improvements to the Fan Interaction experience.

The MAXIMUM IMPACT 7 Tour sees TNA visit Glasgow (Jan 29) and Manchester (Jan 30) before culminating in a huge double TV taping and Ultimate X match in London on Jan 31.

Bobby Lashley said: “This will my first time wrestling in the UK for TNA and I can promise you I’m more than ready. The bigger question is whether the UK is ready for Bobby Lashley?”

Taryn Terrell added: “I’m so happy to be on the Tour. I, alongside fellow Knockouts Gail Kim and The Beautiful People, look forward to bringing the rowdy UK fans the best women’s wrestling in the world and delivering some memorable matches.”

MAXIMUM IMPACT 7 Tour and Fan Interaction tickets are available via https://www.facebook.com/tnawrestlinguk, https://www.gigsandtours.com/go/tna2015gen, https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/TNA-Wrestling-tickets/artist/1008830 or direct from the tour venues. Full details of the UK events are:

Thursday 29 January 2015, Glasgow The SSE Hydro, https://www.thehydro.com

Friday 30 January 2015, Manchester Phones 4u Arena, https://www.phones4uarena.co.uk

Saturday 31 January 2015, London SSE Arena Wembley, https://www.ssearena.co.uk

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING is broadcast on Challenge in the UK and Ireland every Sunday night at 9pm, as well as on Spike TV in the USA and more than 120 other countries.

These right here. I think these will be the last shows TNA does.

Smackdown is pretty a recap and a preview for RAW so it won't move impact's ratings that much. I'm convinced TNA's ratings are rigged at this point, anyway.

They had some house shows lined up, didn't they?

I watched the last Thunder when it came on, and Shavonie kept calling it the season finale, and kept talking like WCW would be back. I guess Vince hadn't bought them until the weekend or something.
