Eli Wiggum posted:What was TNA's business plan? Weekly PPVs with no free TV on a budget that required 50,000 buys per week to break even. At the end WCW was doing 50,000 buys per show. Their PPV expert was a guy who had been fired from WCW for incompetence. Edit: They averaged about 8-10K buys per weekly show. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Eli Wiggum posted:I'll just quote myself from earlier: It's like a tech company. The company is losing money NOW, but that just means it's cheaper to buy in and be on the ground floor. They all remember how the wwe went from losing millions to a billion dollar corporation overnight. Also, Dixie really wanted to be famous and she was willing to burn her father's company to accomplish this. I don't think she ever cared if it made any money as long as she got to be a star and hang out with Hulk Hogan

This seems the most likely since he was bragging about taking bumps recently. Thabks guys! Ugh damnit I'm gonna order this just to watch his 5 seconds of fame.

Please do not give this lovely company any of your money. Give your friend the $49.95 because it's probably $39.95 more than he'll make for the night.

Speaking of weekly PPV era TNA, Pluto TV (that weird free streaming service) is showing some of those along with old PPVs on their channel that's nothing but TNA 24/7. I just watched most of #55 from 2003. Those poor girls dancing in the cages look so sad. Pluto also has a channel of "slow TV" that is just un-narrated video of an eight-hour train ride through Denmark and stuff like that. I should ask them what gets more views.

I didn't see it when I scrolled through the guide

Benne posted:Has TNA ever broken even on house show tours? It seems like they lose their shirt every time they try. When they licensed the TNA name to Hermie Sadler to do house shows they did OK but those were limited and had diminishing returns. It's possible they made money on house shows in 2009 when they had a good buzz but I kind of doubt it given payroll.

The first couple of UK house show tours made money. Then they kept on running it again & again until they didn't.
