TNA in the STRUGGLE so deep that the streets evicted them

[DaylitoJames]

It gets worse.

Tickers cost:
$65 for floor, $40 for lower section, $15 for middle section.
Extra $20 gets you a photo with Somoa Joe.

Person who took the pictures paid $15 and sat in the 40 dollar section.

There was about a total of 100 people.

The ring was placed where it is because:
They weren't allowed to be on the grass.

In the match with James Storm and Mr. Anderson, a groundskeeper told them not to wrestle on the grass. Any outside wrestling was done on the mats, and even then, it was a standing dropkick. Anderson and Storm fought by the crowd and Anderson hit Storm with a fans drink. After that the groundskeeper told them to get off the grass.

Brehs, TSC needs this video clip.

I remember me and my boys went to see TNA live and we bought cheap 10 dollar tickets... sat our asses in the front row because we saw the seats were empty and nobody said nothing... and I think my boy patted ODBs ass too, we ate good that night

 

[Jello Biafra]

why would anyone buy something with no value...it literally would add nothing of value to wwe...not even the video archives are valuable

I could see where Vince would see the value of the TNA tapes collection as content to beef up those career retrospective dvd box sets he puts out and to use as content for his network.
What will be funny and sad at the same time is that old tapes of TNA matches will have more viewers on the WWE Network than they ever got airing new on Spike.

I haven't watched wrestling in a few years, what did TNA do to get to this point?

Shame

Combination of things, starting with rehiring of Vince Russo in late 06

This. As much as they struggle, why do they go out of their way to struggle even more? They need to be holding shows at community centers, armories and shriner's clubs, not minor league ballparks that they know damn well they can't even fill 1/4 of.

Cause that would just confirm that they are a glorified indy with a national TV contract,

Russo booking, Bischoff booking, Hoegan changing shyt for no reason, old overpriced talent bleeding the company dry leaving young great talent to be let go, Dixie being an airhead, and pretty much everything WCW did during their last days

Most indy feds would kill for that, CZW would love to be on Spike Tv and would run with the ball... they damn near star on every Botchamania

Exactly but I'm sure Dixie and the rest would love to think they are early 90s WCW status or at least ECW status.

I was watching TNA till 2012, so I saw all of that stuff, but they were still able to have decent crowds at their shows. Was there like a specific angle that went bad that started this viewer downfall?

Talent Loss

 

[Arrogance.]

All jokes aside, what do you brehs think it would take for TNA to turn around at this point?

Either the "Immortal takeover" angle or the "Aces & Eights takeover" angle

get their moneys worth and get Rampage to actually wrestle
get rid of the bums on the roster…like mike knox
reestablish the x division and ko division like it once was
and solid booking
and maybe they could be someone what relevant again
but they're in trouble

AAA is going to air on EL Rey this fall…I can easily see it become #2 televised fed

 

[I-Hate-You]

One thing about TNA's road shows that blows my mind is that they never really seem to make any changes. Like they'll draw 100 somewhere and then they don't take any measures to try to improve.

Even when they were putting out a better product, you still heard about shows with 300-400 people on the reg. Their advertising and marketing has always been horrible. They'll run a few commercials, have a wrestler and a knockout appear at a local gas station and pray for the best.

I don't see why they don't pull a Bischoff and take the show off the road and just do limited touring until they build their show back up. There's no way a show like this is beneficial in any way.

They better not bomb on these upcoming New York shows.
