Maxwell Lord posted:Kurt Angle will die One of the saddest things I've seen to this day is late 2000s/early 2010s Kurt angle on some spikeTV show where you have to go up against professional athletes. He was weirdly assholish to all the guys competing and then when they actually wrestled he kind of sucked and was even taken down by one of them a few times

And yeah I think one of the guys was a college wrestler or something and actually did kinda well against him.

Gail Kim confirms that the talent weren't told that the matches they filmed were for a World title tournament, which kind of blows up any idea that the World Title Series was planned from the start. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/smartmarkradio/2015/11/10/smartasses-radio-gail-kim-stephanie-osborn

Kinda hard for them to do that when their bae Gail says it too. The tournament was initially reported to be for a One Night Only PPV with no major stakes, which makes total sense.

I think I've reached the point where I don't want TNA to die. I want to see how far they can sink without giving up. What will it take? Being only on local fox sports channels? No TV in the US? In the world? Will they become an internet-only promotion, or return to weekly PPV?

PWInsider is implying that they've had talks with POP TV, which is a model where they would have to pay to put Impact on the air, but get a cut of whatever advertising they do. Since we all know how great TNA is at drawing ad revenue, this could be about as low as they go without throwing their content on Dailymotion and starting a Patreon scheme.

Hey now, don't exaggerate, things aren't so bad. I mean, just look at their roster page. They still have Aries, Magnus, King, Storm, errm, MVP, Bully Ray, umm, you know what, I can't help but feel that TNA doesn't really giving a poo poo about updating their roster page anymore. 50 people listed, of which 6 are not with them anymore, 12 are knockouts, 2 are announcers, 1 is an MMA guy who hasn't really done anything, 1 can die anytime he enters the ring, 1 escaped from jail to sign more multi-year contracts, and at least 2 that I'm certain were only in TNA for a couple of matches without actually signing a contract. drat that's a pathetic roster.

I don't understand it. They definitely update that page when they sign someone new - look, they added Everett and Lee and those guys were only signed a couple weeks ago. They just never take people down, it seems.

Again to no one's surprise but the denizens of TNAMecca: "Regarding TNA President Dixie Carter teasing a possible reunion with TNA and Spike TV on Twitter last week, apparently there is nothing going on between the two sides. A high-level Spike TV source noted to PWInsider that they haven't heard anything about TNA returning and another said it would be highly unlikely."

I hope that cult follows them to whatever station they go to and is their only advertiser, and they start co-promoting together. I want to see members of the TNA roster just slowly disappear and be replaced with identical looking dudes with shaved heads in robes

It doesn't actually make sense at all. 8 groups of 4 wrestlers is what, 48 matches? Before the next stages have begun. This could never have fit into their "one night only" model, although I could certainly see TNA extending a "one night only" to being two or more nights, probably with Josh Matthews barking about how the internet nerds don't like a PPV named "one night only" being longer than that. I think this was just what they planned for the UK episodes on Challenge, assuming they were losing their US TV slot. I still think DA not-cancelling TNA after making them change all their PPV plans was a gigantic deliberate troll... or it would be if I believed they actually cared.

Oh hey, I get POP on my cable! It's wedged into the Esquire / E! / Bravo neighborhood of my listings. What's on this evening? 7 pm: Young and the Restless from earlier today 8 pm: Days of our Lives 9 pm: P S I Love You which is apparently a movie Hilary Swank was in 11:30 pm: Did You Hear About The Morgans, a Hugh Grant movie. I dunno, this channel seems a little too high-class for TNA.

It's the former TV guide network and owned by cbs. So it's probably has more carriers then DA has. But it's probably buried in the listings. DA is atleast in the first 20 channels on the digital tier with time warner. USA is number 1 just as a reference point
