Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I think the Fairgrounds was set up for 800-1000 but it was mostly paper, so it was basically running a dumpier, costlier Impact Zone.

I was thinking instead of crowd cheering you have a bunch of spooky theremins go off when something cool happens. Maybe rattle some window blinds, too.

They should hold Slammiversary in Western Canada, if only because you just know that Bruce Hart would end up scamming them somehow.

Not if it's in the same way the WWE network brings in more revenue at greatly increased costs and lowered profitability. Or in TNA's case, higher losses.

Well the service won't kill their PPV revenue (if they have any) since one of the benefits of a subscription is reduced-cost PPV, not actually getting them with the service.

Not that their service has any chance of succeeding, but this probably won't hurt any existing revenue streams they have.

hey mister... can u play drums while I sing and play plastic guitar???
backing up MassRafTer, as one of the marks that paid to go to the TNA Asylum/State Fairgrounds from 2002-4, there were 100-150 or so $15 seats on the floor. Then 500-700 more bleacher type seats, depending on if they opened up the balcony part. They were $10, but almost certainly half freebies.

Yeah but they still have to pay to host it which while minimal I doubt they will be able to clear.

I find Cornette being such good friends with Jeff Jarrett to be really loving weird. Corny is a fairly liberal dude, while JJ has been unabashedly conservative and pro-Trump (MIGA) for a few years at least. And then there's Jarrett's Russo fetish...

It's probably the family connection, with Jim working with Jeff's father and grandmother, so he's probably blind to Jeff's shortcomings, having known him so long.


I mean, McMahon's insane, and people are still loyal to him.
