I really don't see why they don't just put Impact on Twitch. They're not making money off television in America anyway.

So ROH is owned by CHUDS and now TNA is in bed with the NRA. WWE is in bed with the Saudi royal family. I'm starting to think wrestling might have been a mistake.

EugeneJ posted:Impact (Formerly TNA) Wrestling Thread: Suck Dynasty Also, it makes me feel ancient that anybody could say "there was a show called American gladiators." That show was iconic and hugely popular. It even appeared on a bunch of sitcoms and continues to be mentioned on TV. The fact that this person, who said "there was a show called American Gladiators" was referring to the loving reboot of that show from over a decade after the original is just... Woof.

There is no good reason for Impact to be on television anymore. What little identity it had died within weeks of Vince Russo getting the book back on Spike and Hogan and Bischoff worsened that, and now it can just be a decent indy on the internet with a lot of company history out of which 5% is useful as their canon past and another 5% is useful for highlight reels and even that is being generous. If they can get their subscribers up and then turn PPVs into subscriber-only live shows, that might be viable, maybe, but the economics of that don't seem great. ROH had their chance to become #2, but even their scummy Fox News but now Every Local News Show parent company wouldn't put twenty bucks toward that goal, so I guess #2 is now AEW's spot to gain and/or lose. I haven't seen Impact since I think the Aces and Eights angle, but I remain entirely unsurprised that it's gotten a lot better under D'Amore, since he was their best booker to begin with with his weird, outlandish ideas about figuring out a good pay-per-view, then booking backwards from there for television. Imagine that.

Chris Rock saying TNA is the best wrestling so he could shoot a scene for one of his movies was pretty out there. Didn't they get Lou Farigno to do a pre-tape, or was that latter-day WCW?

Y'know what I don't loving understand? You're on Twitch. You're running shows on the internet. You're not beholden to a television network's schedule. Why in god's name would you choose to air on Friday? People go out and do poo poo on Friday!

Dave's always been pretty open about the fact that a five-star match doesn't happen in a vacuum and the booking and crowd reaction are a big part of it, which frankly makes it ridiculous that individual workers would use him as an arbiter of whether or not something's good, but yeah. By those criteria, WWE isn't going to have a five start match for a very long time.
