Aren't the "One Night Only" events usually shown once a month? Are they really going to tape a bunch of poo poo that's not going to air until September?

It's from one of the NYC shows last month.

How many viewers did the last Spike episode get? I need a laugh comparing it to their current numbers.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I also used those figures to annoy the people praising Dixie for the network move on Twitter.

Are these people you know or are you searching out people who praise TNA just to pester them?

I follow Dixie and her tweet promoting the Impact after Lockdown had people replying with congratulations on moving networks because Lockdown's viewership was up. I couldn't help myself.

Strangely realistic take actually:



Like offering Del Rio half a million dollars and an immediate World title reign.

Gradoberg is the greatest entrance in modern wrestling

You're lucky I can't find a video of Bayley's entrance.

This is probably the worst example of "We're so much better than WWE!" that TNA ever pulled. I don't think even WCW would have attempted something like this. My fiancée, who has only recently gotten back into wrestling, turned to me and said "Didn't this happen after Chris Benoit? And Chris Kanyon? And a bunch of football players? Please turn it off, it's really upsetting"

And I love that, even though he's not there, Bischoff still has to put Hogan over with that "crawled out of an ICU" line.

They once again decided to reference police brutality in NY by having Gunner choke out a black man with a nightstick. This is after MVP threatening to send police out into the audience to slap people in chokeholds.

There's no loving way they did this at the Manhattan Center. Not after the near-riots we had before the holidays when they declined to prosecute the cop that murdered Eric Garner. They must have waited until they were somewhere else, right?

Right?

I don't know how to break this to you but TNA has little understanding of tact.

I guess this is the first time I'm actually amazed by the fact that they pulled something like this, even though I know it's TNA, probably because I live in NYC.

(I was told this was later cut from the broadcast)

That still means they thought it was a good idea and Destination America said, "Are you loving kidding me?"
