Unsettling to begin with, but actually not bad at all. I kind of wish more wrestling was available with crowd noise but without commentary.

Great White Hope posted:Please tell me someone is going to upload a recording of this. On a lot of broadcasts now, if you have surround sound or a soundbar, mute your center channel. In a lot of cases, that will kill the PBP/color audio and leave the crowd and event channels open. It's pretty cool.

So if TNA just decided to communicate via cup on string, would they still be able to send important poo poo to the wrong people?

Question: how did Dixie Carter go from in interviews saying she really wasn't that much of a wrestling fan to promoting shows in college?

TNA has moved Angle/EC3 a match they've build for forever to an episode of Impact because they were worried TV tapings would give away the Slammiversary PPV result as due to a scheduling gently caress up they have tape post Slammiversary TV a few days before Slammiversary.

You're making GBS threads me. They can't possibly be moving a potential money match (as much as I love to give TNA poo poo, they've done a good job building EC3/Angle) to free TV because of Destination America. Just have Angle come out with the belt during the TV tapings and run an angle where EC3 beats him up and 'steals' the belt or something.

So they just confirmed that Angle is dropping the belt

You point is to at least try to make Slammiversary successful. v WWE replaced pushing PPV with something that they think will produce more money. If Destination America wants to cancel Impact, one episode isn't going to change that unless EC3/Angle does something like 600,000 TV viewers for the first showing, and if it doubles your TV audience they it would have made millions on PPV. rare Magic card l00k fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jun 12, 2015 |

WWE ppvs haven't been pushed as much either, not since the network hit. And that's a show that people actually watch

Great White Hope posted:You point is to at least try to make Slammiversary successful. That's true. I'm sure they're desperately trying to stay on the air, though, and if DA wants higher ratings then they have to try and get them. As small as the buy rate for TNA's PPV is now, imagine how they'd do if they didn't have a weekly show to remind people they exist.

Sorry, I meant to type "The point" but I'm stupid and bad at using words. A sane company (i.e. not this one) would put the match they've been building forever on their 'big' return to PPV to try and make money.
