Eric Bischoff spitting that hot fire at TNA, Lucha Underground :scusthov:

[The Rainmaker]

It's true But saying they are making zero money is a complete exaggeration.

They better be doing something of those brown bag deals Don West promotes with five DVDs, one banner, one action figure, THREE PACKS OF TRADING CARDS, TNA STOCK, A PIECE OF THE RING CANVAS AND DIXIE CARTER'S USED BRA FOR ONLY 15.99

LU makes money off merchandise as well.
LU makes money off licensing the broadcast as well.
Live gates isn't a big money builder anymore, it might cost more than it could bring in, so I don't know why he would even bring that up.
Eric is the man who wasted Turner money by cancelling the last hour of 3 hour Nitro and costing Turner more money in cancelling it than they would have had in just keeping it and filling it with content. Let that sink in.

That wasn't Bischoff

Bischoff has a way of delivering that ether

The way he ether'd all of Canada in his book

 

[Roman Brady]

Tbf Bischoff already had WCW business heading in the right direction before the nWo angle lit the rocket fuel. If people try to discredit what he did as being just getting lucky with one hot angle, that'd be incorrect.

Average house show attendance (Bischoff took over in 94):

He's one of the few people qualified to talk about the business aspect of pro wrestling on a mainstream level.

What has he done of note since post 97 though

nah, wcw cut house shows when Bischoff came in, numbers were up for the ones they did because there weren't a lot going on. Plus naturally shyt would go up after Hogan n Savage came, but they were losing on that too because Hogan would take huge cuts of all PPV and merch revenue. Give TNA Daniel Bryan and CM Punk and they'll go way up too . Plus Bischoff fired Austin, he's not that different from Russo to me

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

time warner/aol merger is what done WCW in.....not Bischoff

 

[DoubleJ13]

Those youtube changes probably did hurt TNA, didn't even think of that shyt

 

[julessshmp]

Youtube been demonising anything relating to wresting

 

[MushroomX]

It’s like an infomercial hoping that they are going to find another way to make revenue.

Didn't they just merge with GFW, which was a failed Ponzi Scheme ? Are they going be selling Magical Healing Crystals embedded on the title belts? Selling Timeshares? If you call within the 90 mins you get Dixie Putty to fix your Credit Leaks?

They went from losing $23m in 1993 to making a profit for the first time in the company's history in 1995. That's not losing. That's a pretty major W.

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

Like Bischoff ain't make the decision to go live every week.

Have big matches on TV.

Partner with AAA and new japan.

Bring in the cruiserweights.

Start the Thursday night blue show.

That is easily the best take on the Montreal screwjob I've ever seen, one I've made myself here, and the total sonning of Canada makes this post rep worthy
