The only reason to doubt it is that it involved GFW. Admittedly, that alone is a very, very strong reason.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Also, why is Anthem surprised TNA is bleeding money? Did they expect changing the name would shoot ratings and house show buys back up? Even the greatest booker on earth couldn't book a company like TNA out of their funk in half a year. About 100% of wrestling promoters think they have the ideas that will actually make money instead of losing their asses. About 5% of them are right.

MassRafTer posted:It's really not though. To lose a bit more than that a week WCW had to put on massive money losing live events every week, blow up a bunch of cars and spend $30 million on talent. The talent is almost all per date now, they have a skeleton crew, and run no shows. Maybe Dixie is being paid $50 million to be a consultant.

I imagine the logic behind buying TNA is something like this: "Well ok, Dixie Carter managed to build this thing into something that got over a million TV viewers every week, surely I can do better than Dixie!" This logic ignores that the wrestling business when TNA was growing is very different from the business today, and that TNA as a company is more or less the most toxic thing in wrestling.

MassRafTer posted:Not if it's in the same way the WWE network brings in more revenue at greatly increased costs and lowered profitability. Or in TNA's case, higher losses. Well the service won't kill their PPV revenue (if they have any) since one of the benefits of a subscription is reduced-cost PPV, not actually getting them with the service. Not that their service has any chance of succeeding, but this probably won't hurt any existing revenue streams they have.

Bigass Moth posted:Do we know the buyrate for TNAs PPVs over the last year? It can't possibly be more than 100 people right? They were doing in the 7000 range in 2013 before their ratings really started to collapse (and Spike cancelled them). If you asked me to pull a number out of my rear end, I'd guess somewhere in the 1000 range for the live story-relevant PPVs nowadays.

Grem posted:I have no idea how he got on TNA. I thought that was a middle-big deal. He's had 1 wrestling match that he lost. His gimmick is lifted straight from the Hardy Boyz and a loving comic book. It's going to be bad. Really, really bad. They were, but they've been in a steady decline/sometimes death spiral since 2013, and the vast majority of their talent are people willing to work for very cheap.

Jerusalem posted:I still can't believe Storm got into NXT, was well-received by the crowd and then promptly returned to TNA. I mean I'm pretty sure I remember that Dixie Carter offered him a good money deal but surely he must have known it was a short term prospect at best? I'm pretty sure the deal was something crazy like $250k per year. I imagine that's not far from how much he'd have made if he ended up on the main roster, if not more (and more than 2 and a half times what he'd have made in NXT), and he had to work a lot less.

MassRafTer posted:When I was born most people in wrestling made money and the ones who didn't went out of business very quickly. This too. Modern wrestling is special in that lots of companies dreaming of being the next WWE think they can spend their way into having WWE's fanbase, forgetting that it takes a lot of time to build up fanbases capable of funding anything vaguely close to what WWE has. Then they forget the 'get people to pay for our product' step and spend a lot more money to try and make up for that.

Checking their website, they have sold out. Sold out the first three rows, which by my count is 180 seats. Everything else is considered General Admission, and they still have plenty of those seats available.

MassRafTer posted:I think they also want to try to use it as a way for people who don't get Pop to watch the show, not that this is a significant population but I got that impression from the owner's WOR interview. Since they seem to think they have a long-term plan, maybe their goal is to eventually eliminate TV entirely and have Impact be an show on their free service to convince people to buy it?

SamuraiFoochs posted:I'm not necessarily gonna criticize TNA too much for Early AJ but Late TNA AJ absolutely should've been the ace of the company and they just let him walk. AJ's interviews shortly after he left TNA were the most mind-blowing thing. Like, a few months after he left he realized that he was really talented and TNA was treating him like poo poo.

I'm not saying Trevor Lee is not cool and good, just that I've heard way, way, way less about him being cool and good since he joined TNA than before he did. It's possible I'm just not looking in the right places for Trevor Lee hype though.
