       Would it be so bad to have an audience size similar to NXT?
       Watching both shows, the crowd on NXT looks better than the
       crowd on Impact - maybe that's just in the art of the set-up. It
       may not be bigger but it is certainly better.
       If that makes sense?
       It's more compact, well-lit, doesn't have that cold, dark, metal
       look that TNA has and the fact the fans are actively passionate
       about what they're watching helps (of course).
       The original Impact Zone of old (from what I remember) seemed
       more snug, less gaps on the floor behind the ringside audience
       and less open spaces of nothingness between the screens & the
       seating areas.
       I think a revamp would help - who would have a cliff-face
       titantron nowadays? Simplify the whole set-up and try for an
       audience that actually wants to be there, not just because it's
       a free bonus to their holiday.
       Of course, it comes down to the same issue: money. Which TNA
       don't have.

       Well, remember that the darker look is a choice on TNA's part.
       It's meant to put more focus on the actual action and separate
       itself from the competition with a more unique look. That said,
       I don't think they'd be unable to get a new look, but how many
       times are they gonna change? The problems TNA faces aren't
       affected by the Impact Zone in my opinion. A better arena won't
       improve things. Just look at UK attendances and US ratings.
       Rarely that big of a jump. Also, smaller audiences equal less
       merch sales right off the bat.

       Just different really I think. I understand what you mean about
       it being brighter, but that swings more than one way. Personally
       I'd like one light lights out old school style, but that doesn't
       happen anywhere in the US expect ROH sadly.

       Not another revamp please. People have only just gotten used to
       this set, plus why pay for it again?

       The NXt fans are real fans they have payed to see NXT what helps
       because they are going to the show to watch the wrestlers and to
       be part of the show..l the TNA fans come across like they cba to
       be there tbh .

       I believe they should aim for smaller venues when traveling.
       That way, it'll look full, as opposed to going into bigger
       arenas and while managing a bigger audience, only fill 40%-60%
       of the arena.

       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.
       [/quote] why do. dA hate that they are bigger in the UK than US
       ??? That is down to them . challenge is happy to push TNA and
       they do all they can to get fans in to it weekly

       Destination AMERICA. Hence the dislike of their UK success.
