It's amazing that they are openly telling heir fans not to watch live despite live ratings being the most important for advertising dollars.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I kinda feel like Dixie doesn't care about live ratings anymore since I don't think POP is actually paying them anything at all. (That was one of the rumors, right? Did that ever get verified?)

So when they get kicked off yet another channel, she'll just go to every TV exec dumb or bored enough to take a meeting with her and brag about her +3 DVR numbers.

Allegedly they are in some sort of ad revenue sharing deal rather than being paid up front. So it's probably in their interest to get decent live ratings. I'm going to miss TNA fans adding together the replay and original airing for the True Rating

Meltzer said today TNA is strapped for cash and they got evicted from their old offices.

A lot of the looking for new investors activity is being primarily done out of trying to make the booking fee for the IMPACT zone and airfare for the talent for the next TV taping.

They're done this time. They have no additional revenue streams, and even getting investment to keep them going for another taping or two is just putting off the inevitable now.

There were several news stories about BUSINESS PLANS and BUSINESS MEETINGS about potential advertising, licensing, merchandising deals with TNA utilizing agencies and Josh Matthews. Obviously those have come to nothing. Sean Ross Sapp of WrestlingInc keeps bring up a story he heard from a third party about their meeting with TNA and just how bad a negotiator Josh was. Which isn't a surprise as he comes across as a total douche on TV, social media and how he dresses.

Two questions:

When TNA goes under, who will the mecca place primary blame on (since they won't blame it on any one in TNA)

And

How long will they keep believing that TNA will return?

I'm honestly surprised they haven't turned to their fans asking them to become "investors" in the company. Like a Kickstarter, but not calling it a kickstarter.

Mecca so far is trying to ignore the whole eviction thing. But they are not happy with the people reporting it or laughing at them.

quote:

I don't want to go on a rant here but...So many people just wants TNA to die.

What the gently caress is wrong with them? What a bunch of loving morons. I want them to tell that to any of the employees in TNA faces. And say i think you should lose your job, because i'm not a fan of the wrestling you have. I believe you're way better off without a job, because then the wrestling-world can enjoy you way more.

These loving morons. Just go the gently caress away and stay away, do something better with your pathetic lives. Analyse a newly-painted wall, scracth your rear end, whatever is way more productive. Just stay the gently caress away.

(You can quote me on this, and this is the absolute last time i will write about you loving morons. If i ever were to meet you in person i bet you would cower like the simps you are and don't say a word. JUST GO AWAY AND STAY THE gently caress AWAY).

My guess for why they haven't done this is that everybody in the company expects everybody else in the company to run off with the money before they can run of with the money themselves.
