if WWE Films decides to branch out and make a "crazy stalker/erotic thriller" type movie theres your lead actress lol
That was a sick move.
Let me smell your finger, Brie.
Bully Ray = heel promo gold. Hard Times 2.0
I'm not a fan of wrestlers being bookers while they're active but I wouldn't mind TNA taking Bischoff off the booking team (his imagination is as limited as Russo's) and putting Ray on.
Maybe these pictures from the Bound For Glory PPV happening tonight is a indication of their current situation

I guess TNA has like maybe 2 more years left in them. The good thing about them shutting down is you'll get to see a few of their wrestlers go against some WWE talent maybe 5 years down the line.. Jay Lethal vs. CM Punk (fingers crossed)
damn that's fucked up
According to what I read here: The word backstage at Bound for Glory is that the company sold about 3,000 of the venue's 6,000 tickets before the box office opened today.
That is a better than average crowd for a TNA event. However they NEED to stop booking the big ass venues they can't fill. They could have done the PPV in a spot the size of the old ECW arena or the Hammersteain ballroom and it would have looked good.

In their mind im sure they think that would make them look minor league, however not being able to book a 3-6k seat arena makes you look minor league. Remember when the WWE was going through their attendance issues back in 02? They started booking smaller venues and it worked because the SD crowd always looked livelier than the RAW crowd. Then RAW started booking smaller venues in 03-04 and it helped them out as well, TNA will be gone within the next 3-5 years which is sad because they were great for a good while in the early days.

Next year i'll be celebrating 30 years as a pro wrestling fan. Started as a seven year old. But, watching TNA is heart breaking. When WCW was bought I thought they'll be a valuable #2 but this year show they only a #3 behind ROH. When both ROH/TNA visit next month i'll take my nephews to ROH.
It always looks better to book a smaller venue and sell out than to book a huge venue and only sell half the tickets. When tickets sell out, it makes the event seem more special, like people couldn't even get tickets to see it because it was so in demand.
Hogan has value so I get why they want him. They just have to get him at a good price.
With Mania XXX coming, he should be in WWE but I get why both companies have interest in him.

I didn't hear that. In fact, watching the show I was thinking they were mic'ed very poorly. I could see them chanting and cheering but it wasn't coming across on my tv.
Won't happen. If they wanted Jay, they would have him. He's been available, off and on, for years now. Same goes for Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode. Austin Aries was on the verge of retirement before he got picked up by TNA.
Having sat in half empty arenas for WWE and WCW, this picture doesn't bother me. WWE had to cancel a SD taping here in Charlotte for lack of sales and have been struggling on their latest tour.
They can't win with this. When they run a large venue, these kinds of pictures come out but smaller venues often aren't modern enough or large enough to accommodate the equipment for tv. They run smaller venues with Impact, hell the place they ran last night was a smaller place.
02? 2013 and attendance is a real issue for Smackdown.
TNA continues to experience growing pains but this the year they had their largest paid attendance ever and, unlike WCW, made some hard cuts and have the network behind them. Seeing that people have picked them to fail from the first day and they've lasted longer than ECW and closing in on WCW (13 yrs) so I'm not counting on them closing any time soon.
ROH can't even get their ippvs right so they can't be number 2. They would kill for a 3000 person house outside NYC.
I like both but I don't understand how their financial conditions weigh on whether people enjoy them or not.
I am so glad they didn't screw us on that finish. When Dixie got involved, I was afraid they were going that route.
Since Bischoff took over the booking, they've lost a step but I'm sure some of that had to do with them not knowing who was going to be available come BFG (namely Hogan, Mickie, and Anderson). Hopefully, they're coming out of that, except AJ, and they can settle down. Bischoff should just stay in charge of production and leave the booking to Lagana and if not Ray, this and talent relations is where you can bring in Jim Ross. He's experienced and he's got an old school understanding.

Question, what does Hogan do? He gets press all over and gets on tv shows but never mentions TNA!! Fuck am I paying u for? Those crowd pops are not enough. He's got a deal with WWE where he's in their video game. That don't help TNA. I read he was going back to WWE but they wouldn't give him Rock/Brock money so he's going back to TNA for what Brock would make for a match. Hogan was TNA's highest paid employee!! Fuck kinda shit is that? Look you don't need him, I don't get what he brings someone tell me...........and nostalgia don't count.
You are preaching to the choir. Dixie will not let go of Hogan.
Agreed. His name recognition hasn't help TNA as much as they thought and they continue to cut talent just to pay his ridiculous salary. I honestly laughed when i read that his yearly salary is equal to what Rock & Brock make for 1 match, something tells me that they might more than that

It's funny reading comments from posters on wrestling forums who say Punk is a playa, giving props for smashing a diva is like giving props for fucking a pornstar
