Opinions Needed on TV situation Impact Wrestling/TNA
By: OneNightPhoney Date: September 6, 2015, 3:46 am
---------------------------------------------------------
TNA are obviously having problems with finding a regular home on
TV in the US. I don't know if this is the right place for this
but I'd love to hear people's opinions:
1. Do you think it would benefit TNA to find a building/venue
they could call home where wrestling fans came to see them live
and not just families on holiday and audience plants? (I know
some wrestling fans must get in occasionally but how annoying to
have to go through a holiday park to get there)
2. Do you think TNA could move to the UK and tape TV here on a
weekly basis and get the live audience numbers they'd need to
look and sound great on TV?
3. Can you see any positive influences in the product that you
think Billy Corgan has implemented since his arrival in
creative?
Thank you for any future responses!

1. It may do but then its going to cost no matter what and they
don't have the income to invest at the moment.
2. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense again on cost to move
to the UK, because once it gets here its just another UK company
and therefore is no longer special, and there are now companies
that draw more than TNA do in the UK, in the long haul they
wouldn't be special and the audience would drop accordingly.
3. Really there has been to much going on with the roster to
find out. It hasn't been terrible, but it lost the stability it
had before he arrived.

1) yes I feel like TNA have got to bring the money in at the
events and WWE , and ROH both change for there TV events.. So I
feel TNA have got to make their money from their TV events.
Maybe they would be better touring and filming their TV shows
from there live shows.l i really don't feel that TNA are lost
when it comes down to making money at their TV events
2) no the only reason TNA do so good in the UK is because it is
a one off and you will have to wait until next year to see them
again so you will pay there silly prices.. No way for them to
make it in the UK full time their is to many brands over here
what can out do TNA a weekly .
3) not really , apart from this weeks impact most of them have
been to much talking and shit storylines.. Like the one with
roode and spud.. Roode took spud out for getting AA fired but
the week later he is in ta match for the KOTM belt

I really think TNA have got to find a place to hold there shows
at. Yes that is true but I can not see them making big money
from there TV shows because the fans are use to getting free
tickets so why would they want to pay for them ?
I can not see them coming to the UK full time because it is a
big move and it will cost them so much

TNA's live shows have traditionally been awfully attended,
that's where they can make money from investment. ROH out draw
them 2-1 because their audience expect to pay for a good
product.T TNA's audience don't have that kind of investment in
the stories, so why would they show up? In the UK ICW, LDN, Rev
Pro, and a bunch of others also out draw them on house shows (in
comparison to their US draws) so it wouldn't be a new normal.
Also Destination America hate that they are bigger in the UK
than the US, that doesn't help either.

Maybe TNA have got to work out a way to break down the U.S. Fans
again. It is not like they can not tour the U.S. stocks all year
like WWe have done in the past.

I think it would but they would have to think long and hard as
to where they could set up. My suggestion would be New York or
Nashville.
2. Do you think TNA could move to the UK and tape TV here on a

No. TNA simply couldnt afford it. They couldnt afford to pay the
staff & roster relocation costs for a start. Then theres office
& space rent, visas etc etc
3. Can you see any positive influences in the product that you
think Billy Corgan has implemented since his arrival in

The KOs are getting better storylines (although they have just
randomly dropped the Velvet vs Angelina/Madison feud so they
could reunite TBP to face the Dollhouse)

They are always dropping storylines for other ones tbh . Look at
spud and Rolodex, now he is the KOTM champion .
Do I think TNA should come to the UK full time ? No way I think
they should do more shows when they do come over and get their
brand out all over the UK not just 3/4 places.

1. Maybe? I mean, it's one of those situations where nobody will
know for sure. If TNA moves, it loses out on an easy ability to
fill up the Impact Zone. It's a prime location at the end of the
day. It's hard to find the right location to set-up a permanent
studio for most filming needs because of the audience
attendance. Unless TNA is willing to lower their regular
attendance numbers drastically so that they could have shows
with crowd numbers similar to NXT or old school ECW, then there
is no telling what kind of outcome that would have, and how
sustainable it would be for that matter.
2. Weekly tapings? No. Monthly or bi-monthly? That's a maybe in
my book. It depends on the location. Those UK Tours are a
special event. You gotta go into a regular UK taping thinking
that there's gonna a smaller turn-up because not everyone is
gonna be able to make the show. Yearly tours? People plan their
schedule around that stuff. Find the right town and venue,
company to work with, and decide how to approach tapings,
there's a chance in my opinion. Only if everything lines up.
3. I don't know what storylines he has specifically, but I
remember some controversial moments here and there. Like MVP
referencing the "BLM movement" and how thugs was used as a new
derogatory term for black people. Knockout storylines have
certainly taken more creative risks as well. For all we know, it
was Billy Corgan who told EC3 to use the term "godmode." Things
got hectic for a while with talent dropping out of TNA for one
reason or another, but the GFW stuff helps buy them some time to
focus their creative towards the rest of the year and beyond.
Including any of Corgan's stuff.
