yeah I'd say something like 'we just need to drop ppv' but the audience had done that for them. Did we ever get numbers on Bound for Glory's buyrate?

reminder that their taped ppv specials did so poorly that a provider removed it from their schedule and showed a marathon of Up the Skirt 2: Thongs Revealed instead

Whose dumb loving idea was it to have a pre-taped wrestling ppv? If they can't do it live then they shouldn't do them at all.

They were contractually obligated and taping was cheaper.

But of course they managed to spend so much on the PPV tapings that they fell weeks behind paying their crew and talent.

If you even try to throw to my side of the field in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.

If they weren't going to show them for months, why should talent get paid until they are shown? :smugdog:

Hey if you made it to 2015 with two broken legs and your intestines trailing behind you, that counts as making it, right?

Also I watched Discover all week last week because of the Mythbusters marathon and didn't see a single TNA/impact/Dixiefuck ad.

Who wants to bet that those 3 shows combined doesn't match the number of viewers of Impact on Spike?

If Impact and two completely worthless clip shows manage to come even somewhat close to 1 million viewers on Destination America, then the move will be shockingly successful (in the sense that I expect Impact to get about 300,000 viewers, and any TNA B-shows about 100,000 each).

Edit: Oh god I just realized that the two clip shows will be 3 straight hours of TNA on Saturday mornings. If those two do 100,000 combined I'll be amazed.

I'm really curious how those other shows are going to do compared to Impact, as it's the kind of thing even fans of the product won't go out of the way to see.

I'm shocked TNA hasn't started a Kickstarter or Patreon account at this point to pay for some of its talent...

Though, given how little money their fans want to spend, plus Magnus calling them 'spoiled', it'll be embarassingly little...

AOL is too fancy for them. They'd use Prodigy or CompuServe.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

I'll give him credit here and say the joke-reveal isn't that he's rude, it's that's he's leaving.

Oh man, I take it back if that's the e-mail he sent off as he was leaving. That is entirely warranted.

I don't know whether a match between the two took place, but looking at how the question is phrased I'm going to go with 'no' either way.

Snow vs Grado vs Money Manziel seems like an entirely plausible future at this point.
