El Generico posted:Hahaha, even Canadian sports networks won't take TNA. The Score is too good for TNA. The Score (now called Sportsnet) has exclusive rights to WWE programming. They don't want/need TNA and in fact possibly couldn't take them even if they did. TNA wouldn't get on TSN proper, and that pretty much just leaves The Fight Network which already carries NJPW, some older ROH and CMLL stuff, and UFC.

triplexpac posted:Still, you'd think with TSN2, 3, 4, whatever, they'd toss some pittance to TNA for the rights. I mean, it's not like TNA could be choosy at this point. Ah I forgot about those. Still, I think TSN doesn't want its brand associated with wrestling at all anymore. Maybe there's some other Rogers/Bell-owned niche channel that'd have them though. Surely Discovery has some DA-equivalent way up the dial where they could live?

triplexpac posted:Taping all their PPVs for the next year in advance is a bold move, can't wait to see how it all goes wrong. They've gotten pretty good at it and they're hopefully not under the illusion that anyone's buying these. The ONO's have always been non-canon, no-storyline affairs. That said, there's a good chance that half the people on it won't be with the company by the time they air.

Junpei Hyde posted:Was he really worse than Jarrett? Much worse. Jarrett was boring but at least he had a fairly long reign where he went over a lot. Sabin as TNA champ was booked like a WWE Intercontinental champ. He was champ for less than a month and lost the title on his first defence, thanks to Tito Ortiz.

Here's their recent history according to PWInsider (sorry for the formatting).quote:The audience for the 2/6 episode of Impact Wrestling (featuring Lockdown 2015) garnered 525,000 viewers, up from last week's 431,000. So they're at roughly a third of the viewership they had this time last year. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Feb 10, 2015 |

It's frankly amazing that they were pulling 1.4M people last summer, and that was considered mediocre!

haha no Impact thread and this thread wasn't even bumped - a new low? Roode vs Aries was pretty good but had to turn it off during EC3/#hisnameisTyrus vs Mandrews/Spud/Borash. What drivel.

LoboLoboLobo posted:We have a lot of fun with TNA and how bad it is, but it's incredibly depressing that they've wasted the prime years of one of the best in the business. What's depressing is this applies to: - AJ - Daniels/Kaz - Alex Shelley (~8 years wasted) - Angle (debateable, but he clearly had a number of good years in him when he went to TNA)

coconono posted:Joe's gone, Storm sounds like he might be next. I think we're at like 2004-5 for longest run in the roster with Eric Young. Or is he gone too? I don't what this dumb show. I'm not sure how much to make of Storm's tweet - I was under the impression that he was one of very few people that signed a longer-term deal. (even though this article says 'more to be announced' I don't think anyone else besides the guys listed is on a multi-year contract)

It sure is too bad that TNA isn't a UK promotion, though at this point they might as well be.

Flameingblack posted:My favorite thing about the TNA One Night Only PPVs is that they're done so loving far in advance by the time they air half the roster is already gone, and this has been happening for two years now. This is going to be the case with their regular show now too. I think the next time they're in the Impact Zone (sometime this month IIRC) they're taping something insane like 8 weeks of television.

Great White Hope posted:I'm pretty sure TNA only does about 30 shows a year now, since house shows are gone, so all they have are the One Night Only and TV tapings, and possibly Bound For Glory. There's an outside chance they might run Slammiversary in June as a normal PPV as well, but yeah pretty much. Even the extra hours of TV that they run, the extra hours Dixie always lamented they couldn't get with Spike but were so desperately needed to build characters and stories, are just chopped up replays of the main Impact show.
