isn't that the original impact zone where they couldn't charge for tickets

People coming in for free and staying is better than people having to pay and leaving after the first taping of a 3 taping schedule so they have to darken and not cut to that section/s on TV

I'm not so sure about this - if you come in for free you're less invested in staying for hours than you are if you'd paid money for that seat, I would think. At least that's how I'd look at it.

TNA held a "Reverse Battle Royal". This genius concept saw half the roster fight outside of the ring to get into the ring. Once the set number of people had entered, they competed in an actual battle royal until two people remained (at which point the battle royal turned into a one-on-one match). Despite being widely lauded as one of the worst matches of that (or any) year, TNA held another one sometime later.

Uhh what?

I had to write one of those for the TEW thread and I have never forgiven them

People left all the time at the Impact zone but TNA loses less money taping at the Impact zone than trying to run actual venues, advertise and sell tickets.

Outside of Jeff Hardy being hosed up as hell are there any other truly insane TNA moments that are worth watching? A highlight reel of TNA wrestlecrap? Is it really as bad as people say at its lows?

Here's one of my favourites. I should note that this happened during a storyline where Hulk Hogan passed on the power of Hulkamania to Abyss by giving him his WWE Hall of Fame ring.

The best part of the reverse battle royal was the guys just walking around the outside looking for something to do instead of just hopping up on the apron and getting in the ring.

I stopped watching a bit after the acquisition so I'm really glad there was a company that picked up where WCW left off in quality. As a big fan of wrestlecrap, thank you for pulling up what might be the worst poo poo ever PSP.

To add to this, they took it off of (decorated former US soldier) Bobby Lashley because DA didn't think he was American enough.

I never thought I would feel sorry for TNA but this is some bullshit. Do they have to run all title changes by the network?
