Well, to be fair he's been off TV for weeks leading into a program with Dolph Ziggler so even time travelling to GFW might seem like a better option at the moment.

WWE actually pays him though

They were doing in the 7000 range in 2013 before their ratings really started to collapse (and Spike cancelled them).

If you asked me to pull a number out of my rear end, I'd guess somewhere in the 1000 range for the live story-relevant PPVs nowadays.

The production company who done one of their PPVs was suing for 100k. So they better be getting a couple thousand if they want to break even.

Anthem challenges it in court, then we find out Anthem didn't trademark "Impact". But then we find out that Billy paid money to the rights holders but forgot to specify the money was actually for those rights.

In the middle of the lawsuit Jeff Jarrett is able to get the rights to the NWA after the judge rules in his favor on the grounds of "Ain't he great?"

A battle of two can't-miss prospects to see who will lead the NWA into the future.

In TNA? You can hardly say anyone panned out given the state of the company, but if I had to pick someone it'd probably be Lashley. Big Traps is real good now.

Oh my God you have no idea what a wild loving ride it has been. Lawsuits, drunks, incorrectly addressed e-mails, junkies stoned out of their minds in Main Events, screwed up deals, failures to file trademarks (including on their own promotion's name)....

It could be unseasonably warm and TNA would find a way to forget to set up bathrooms or order chairs. That building presents challenges that there is approximately 0% chance of TNA overcoming.

It is literally crazy that they are having this thing in Ottawa instead of Toronto, given that they ended up renting this barn. While most proper venues in Toronto would be booked on this short notice, there is no shortage of empty warehouse-style spaces in a city where they might actually draw some people, that would require as much or less setup than this Ottawa venue.

A number of the smaller venues in Toronto are skating rinks and you can't book em in hockey season. That's why ROH would run one or two shows per year outside of Toronto.

I can name about ten venues off the top of my head that are just warehouse/event spaces that would be, at least, wired for sound, like the non-arena ones that SMASH uses (they use a couple of live music venues, go-kart tracks, etc). They might cost a little (only a little - they're paying 7-8K for the Ottawa one) more but would definitely draw more.

This thing in Ottawa isn't a sports venue of any sort, it's like an airplane hangar. They have flea markets and the very occasional small concert there. TNA is going to have to build dressing rooms, set up bleachers, probably add porta-potties, build a lighting rig since you can't hang anything from the roof, and who knows what else, and it's going to be a hilarious mess when they forget any one of those things, or more.
