Well you see, they have this massive roster of people who could be HUGE STARS if they could only get enough screen time, so they need at least three hours of TV a week, preferably five.

TNAMecca peeps think that the company is in the same condition it was years ago, when having a second TV show (Xplosion never counted, neither does any of their Reaction poo poo) could have reasonably happened.

Is this and them buying into the 'TNA is massive in the UK' thing, isn't it? the thing that proved to be completely untrue with this most recent tour when they couldn't sell out anything at all?

I want to see how awful this can get with them having to create eight hours of television a week. A full hour of one of the shows would just be Samoa Joe and Eric Young doing sock puppet shows. An hour of Samoa Joe on Twitch.

The ps2 version misses a few minor features. Like Create a Wrestler. Which is useful seeing as the entire single player campaign requires you to create a wrestler. (Not that it matters how big or small or whatever you make your wrestler by the end of the game he's back to being suicide)

So in turn AMC and BBC America are both expected to be expanding their coverage and seen to be potentially the channels with the most potential for growth. The best part is that (IIRC) BBC America basically exists as a branch of BBC Worldwide, which is how the Beeb monetizes programs made in the UK. The BBC doesn't give a tin poo poo about BBC-A beyond "is it making us any money". Then again, this is the same BBC America that once replied to a question about showing classic Doctor Who episodes with the comment that "They're too expensive for us to buy the rights to", so maybe TNA would be a good fit for them after all.

Observer posted:--On our radio show Monday, somebody asked a question regarding whether Dixie Carter really stayed in a castle at one of the TNA European tours. I never heard that story and didn't know it, but one former TNA wrestler listened to the show and confirmed that the story was true. Which one of you asked?

No apology to the asker for claiming it was a prank. Dogshit Meltzer stays in Dixie's pocket.

If eventually Eric Young still has a show on TV and TNA doesn't this will have ended exactly the way it should have

Daniel Bryan posted:Which one of you asked? I'd definitely heard that story before this week. I want to say it was from a released Knockout, but it was some released talent that talked about it anyhow. e: aha it is true quote:The house on Hillsboro Pike, however, seemed perfect. The husband and wife duo couldn’t find anything else they liked as much—and the notion of “warmth” really played into that. At the time, they were heading to Ireland for a tour with TNA, and ventured across the pond a little early to celebrate their anniversary. Staying at the gorgeous Ashford Castle, the pair wined and dined to celebrate. “The whole night felt a little surreal,” says Carter with a smile. "We were drinking great wine, and we decided to be brave and just do it, go ahead and buy the house. We immediately texted our realtor, Eric Grassman and said ‘draw up the papers.'” http://www.nashvillelifestyles.com/entertainment/dixie-carter-at-home-in-nashville Checkmate, Shave. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Nov 14, 2014 |

The article I posted is primarily about Dixie and Serg buying a gigantic house that used to belong to Leeann Rimes. Keep that in mind while you re-read this article.

http://www.ashfordcastle.com/ It's like $2000/night in the most expensive room and $120/night in the least expensive room. So it's not like they rented out a whole castle.

Pfft, they're not going to blow such a huge announcement so soon, they'll wait until just before that UK tour, when they announce that Discovery Channel has bought the BBC and so all Impact Wrestling shows will be simulcast LIVE in both the US and UK every week!  (also someone tweet this/send it to TNA Mecca and see if they take it seriously )
