Honestly, it's the MSG thing, I'd bet. A lot of idiots on the internet are VERY invested in WWE being the best because if it isn't, then they've wasted a lot of time on it. And ROH and New Japan and Cody being able to sell out or at least make big money in big venues without Vince's machine confuses and scares them, because how dare these indie/foreign fucks think they're better than Vincent Kennedy McMahon. It messes with their narrative that the WWE is the big leagues, and a lot of them blame Dave because he's the most well-known wrestling commentator (in the op-ed sense) online.

He also did a WOR recently where he basically said that Peyton Royce has gotten fat since being called up.

Julio Cruz posted:He also did a WOR recently where he basically said that Peyton Royce has gotten fat since being called up. No, he did a WOR recently where he, in a very Dave way, tried to say Peyton's work has suffered since she had her new boobs put in. Being Dave, in trying not to say outright that she had breast implants, he sounded like he was talking about her weight. Kinda like how when he talks about John Cena being 'bigger', he ain't talking about John's carb intake.

TNA has a long and storied history of ripping things off. My personal favorite was when they tried to do the Daniel Bryan rocket push with Eric Young

Part of the Cow Palace property is actually in the city of San Francisco. Now while San Fran metro is smaller than NYC, it it is still one of the larger metro areas in the US.

MSG is special, the Cow Palace show was not (which is a good sign, because it means New Japan is doing more and more shows). MSG is selling tickets like 8 months in advance, the Cow Palace show had tickets selling two months in advance. These factors are why MSG sold out super-quick, while the Cow Palace did not. This is also why All In sold out super quick while the Cow Palace did not.

They also made a poo poo-ton of money at the Palace anyway, because all the expensive seats sold.

Not really that surprising. Like I've said for a bit, it's completely understandable that people have given TNA far too many chances to trust any actually-good PPV or event to really be the turning point. Even I don't trust that this current quality will last even to January. The damage was done long ago, and they're going to be handicapped by that for (at best) a while

Final Deletion had 411k viewers which is higher than anything on friend rovert's chart, but as others have mentioned neither it or any of their other stuff resulted in a long-term bump A shame because I thought the Total Nonstop Deletion ep (329k viewers) at the Hardy Compound was one of the most entertaining episodes I've seen them pull off this decade and wish people had stuck around to see it
