Problem no TV deal in a big channel if Tessa and Moose are still in TNA.

TNA just sold 7500 tickets for the first time in their 23 year existence,but sure... They're gonna be number two in no time... I'm happy that the company is seeing some positive momentum, but holy shit there's a ton of people who need to simply shut the fuck up.

What a nothing statement. Like no shit if someone gave TNA a bunch of money they'd be bigger, but no one's gonna do that because TNA isn't worth shit.

Eric's entire relevancy is predicated on catching lightning in a bottle with the nWo. He has since demonstrated that that was a fluke as he has been unable to come close to that level of brilliance since.

Will TNA even be around in a year or will they be stripped for parts and sold off? They shit the bed on their biggest stage to rival Starrcade 97, GCW in Hammerstein or the ROH half of G1 Supercard. The main event shows that TNA is just a WWE feeder promotion at this point.

bonerstaboner.bsky.social @bonerstaboner.bsky.social

Yeah, the ROH half of the G1 card was awful. The difference between those 2 promotions on that show at that point in time was so stark.

Jonnie Jeffcoat @johnnywrestling.bsky.social

Genuine question, what were the reasons those GCW and ROH events didn’t live up to the hype? I missed out on the discussion for both and i can’t even remember the events anymore.

P. Edmon @edmon.zip

GCW booked a bad card that involved a lot of AEW talent and wrecked their own main event due to running into curfew. ROH put a bunch of really mid stuff on when New Japan brought some awesome matches and also embarrassed ROH with Bully Ray’s angle with Enzo and presobriety Big Bill Morissey.

Justin 'Juce' Adams @bozemanjuce.bsky.social

I'd also argue it's impossible for GCW to present a true GCW show in NYC due to the strict no blood policy there. Deathmatches? Out. Violet matches? Out. They have to completely change their presentation, which sucks for their "biggest show ever."

No... either the fed cuts them loose and they flail for a bit but stay where they are, or TKO buys it up and in a year or two closes it down for underperforming (b/c it's a corporation now, and tax writeoffs!)

Why aren't all these old grifters like Bischoff, Russo, Corny, Bully, etc. just running their own super-indies if they know so much about what makes a promotion succeed? (yes, I know the answer is that they can't run an actual company and complaining on a podcast makes more money)
