TNA President Dixie Carter was being followed around by cameras all day and night at the Impact Wrestling taping in Florida. I was told Carter was being filmed for a potential reality project. She's wanted to get a reality series off the ground for some time.

Personally think that is the main reason why Billy is on board.

it's been said before but a stupid reality show with billy corgan and an over the top dixie trying to run TNA would fit into destination americas programming better than impact and even has a better chance at attracting the rest of that channels viewers

although TNA is not looking like its getting extra programming anytime soon...the reaction when that stupid reality show replace impact is gonna be hilarious

They've been in a working relation with AAA for awhile I think. It's where they got Tigre Uno I believe.

Friday's TNA Impact Wrestling drew 463,000 total viewers, down from the 549,000 viewers the show drew for Destination America last week, according to Showbuzzdaily.com.

Powell's POV: The first airing of the show delivered 358,000 viewers, and the immediate replay delivered 105,000 viewers. TNA and Destination America have to be disappointed that the "live" hype and the tease of a former world champion returning did not lead to an increase. One year earlier, TNA Impact scored 1.055 million viewers for Spike TV on May 8, 2014.

We were all too glued to the Total Nonstop Action to post. Raw GDTs get several pages, thus proving impact's superiority. Eat that Seltzer.

According to a report by Jason Powell of ProWrestling.NET, a tour which TNA had been planning to take place in China for this month has been cancelled.

TNA talent were told to keep their diary open although the company never publicly advertised the dates. The belief is that the tour didn't work out financially for the company and the decision was made to nix the idea.
Wonder what happened.

Hope Gabe undercut them
Based on the word that you delivered about how the Chinese audiences for EVOLVE reacted, I'm guessing that someone realized that TNA had even less hope of getting "show up to see what the American novelty is about" viewers than EVOLVE did.

Don't believe the dirtsheets, y'all

quote:

TNA President Dixie Carter held a meeting at this past weekend's Impact Wrestling tapings and basically told the talents not to believe what they read on wrestling websites about the ratings and viewership being down.

Dixie claimed that there is ratings information that websites aren't aware of that she and TNA are privy to. She claimed that when websites publish TNA ratings data, we're not publishing them with the West Coast numbers included but we post the data that comes from Nielsen and we do include the overall viewership with numbers for the replay. Dixie also pointed out that websites don't report on the +.3 or +.7 DVR numbers as some fans watch throughout the week.

Dixie instructed the roster to pay no mind to ratings reports because the numbers are better than what's actually being released.

Also Youtube views.
