TNA Officially Announces New PPV Strategy

[I-Hate-You]

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING today announced a new worldwide Pay-Per-View programming initiative for 2013. The 52 annual episodes of IMPACT WRESTLING on SpikeTV will lead to four, live epic Pay-Per-View events commencing with “Genesis” on January 13th, “Lockdown” on March 10th, “Slammiversary” on June 9 and “Bound For Glory” on October 13th.

In addition, seven Pay-Per-View specials that will be branded as “TNA Wrestling: One Night Only,” series will debut in April 2013 and continue throughout the year during the additional months. The 3-hour taped Pay-Per-View specials will premiere on the first Friday of each month. The first two “One Night Only” specials will be “Joker’s Wild Tag Team Tournament” and “X-travaganza” which will feature the X-Division.

“The Pay-Per-View industry has changed so much in the last decade,” says TNA President Dixie Carter. “The traditional pay-per-view wrestling model needed to evolve and we believe this strategy will positively impact not only the Pay-Per-View events but the weekly television programming as well.”

The company will continue to produce TNA Wrestling’s “Unfinished Business”, which are one-hour programs available on a Video on Demand (VOD) basis. The monthly titles continue to focus on the history of a rivalry or a specific past PPV event. These titles are available for two months at a time.

NEWS: TNA Wrestling Announces Major Changes To 2013 Pay-Per-View Strategy

Can we pray Cokeboy finally holds back on about 18 ppv's a year now?

Condense it down to the big 5, 6 to 7 at the most?

So we can actually get feuds again and so on.

:siddap:

I like the idea.

Imagine if WWE went back to being just Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam and Survivor Series??

 

[Bob Loblaw]

NWA/TNA: Ya gotta love it!

 

[Project Downtime]

Liking this "less is more" ideal.

24 PPV between the two companies was getting to be a bit too much.

 

[Prince Akeem]

I approve of this.

 

[NYChase718]

12 ppvs was enuff...than vinman added another 6....

 

[R=G]

I like the idea.

If they did the Big 4 or 5, cut Raw back to 2 hours and they had special Clash of The Champions type Raws or Smackdowns once in a while
