I didn't watch it because I am not retarded, but was the announce team really not in the arena for BFG? Are they seriously cutting costs by not flying in Taz and Tenay? Or did neither of them want to go? Or are they editing the footage for the American audience? Also, is BFG going to be broadcast into the UK?

Again, I will be surprised if TNA makes their UK dates in late January. All their remaining TV is sad tapings from a casino in eastern PA and clip shows that Spike is apparently airing out of sheer goodwill because it draws about the same ratings as Cops reruns and it's not costing them anything. These tapings take them through mid-November, clip shows the rest of the calendar year. As it stands right now, they have ZERO live events before the late Jan UK shows, which means ZERO American TV until February. They've laid off all their in-house production staff which means whatever they're going to do in the UK is probably going to cost them a lot more unless they have a new TV deal to cover it, which they don't right now. The only way this can end is hilarious failure.

This is already hilarious, if it somehow doesn't get more hilarious it's going to somehow seem like a disappointment. Which is...... hilarious.

I'm really shocked they haven't just called it a day. They've no TV, no income and no real way of coming back from all this. I know Dixie probably has no idea how bad it is but surely Papa Dixie must have some business sense.

The sad thing is that Bound For Glory was actually pretty good as a standalone show. The freakshow things were fun and there were some really good matches. If it were any year other than 2014 and any PPV (not counting One Night Onlies) other than Bound For Glory the story would be 'TNA had a fun overseas PPV with minimal BS. Good job, TNA, the experiment is a success!' Instead, this was Bound For Glory and everything is collapsing and on fire around Dixie Carter, and there's no money to get a bucket let alone water to put in the bucket to put out the fires.

Finally watching Bound For Glory and it's basically the best One Night Only PPV they've ever done. I like the 3/4 view hard cam a lot and EC3 is great. The idea of buying this for $55 is absurd but it's not as much of a waste of time as I was expecting!

Was previously reported tickets for the UK tour are being offered at discounted/promotional rates. Now this report has TNA's UK viewership slipping a lot: http://www.tnainsider.com/2014/10/impact-wrestling-continues-struggle-uk/ TNA's second biggest market isn't a saving grace.

Write "AMC TV Contract" on a piece of paper, put it on a clip board and attach it to a fishing pole. See how many blocks you can get Dixie to chase it.

Several members of the roster who have had contracts recently expire or are expiring soon have been trying to contact people at the Nashville HQ to find out what's up, but are not having their calls returned. Apparently they're on the "we'll offer you new contracts when we have a secure TV deal" stage. Several names were paid per-appearance for the last set of tapings, others (like Samoa Joe and Mike Tenay) are up at year's end and are basically in limbo.

I believe if Tenay leaves, James Storm will have succeeded in being the last original to have been in TNA regularly since the first weekly PPV. I think the only other on the current roster to be considered a TNA guy that was on the first PPV is Abyss, but I believe he took a long hiatus after the first show.

At this point the London shows are going to consist of Big Bobby Lashley challenging people in the audience to impromptu MMA matches. When the last match of the last show draws to a close, he will then grab the mic and call Dixie a bath turd. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Oct 16, 2014 |

That's actually pretty impressive they kept anyone at all for their whole life considering how ramshackle and topsy turvy the whole thing has been. Who has been with WWE for that long consecutively as of now? Kane, Mark Henry, Cena, Orton, Triple H, Big Show, Mysterio?

Agreed that's it's kind of amazing Abyss has held on for that long. He's pretty much their only monster in the big picture. Yeah, they've had guys like Crimson or Matt Morgan but in the long term it's been Abyss without question.

Show was actually out of the company for a little bit from 2007-2008 and was on that lovely Memphis card Hogan promoted. Mark Henry, Kane, and Christian (if you count him) would be the only currently active wrestlers who've been there that long.

Randy Orton's WWE TV debut was April 25, 2002. TNA's first PPV event was June 19, 2002. John Cena's WWE TV debut was June 27, 2002. So there are two more who have been around (barring injuries/suspensions) for slightly longer/nearly as long as TNA.
