I'm picturing something similar to the WAMMA "offices" when trying to think of TNA's office.

The TNA office is, as far as I know, in the same building as a pretty nice restaurant in Nashville. Not a bad space for a small, private office, but definitely not public or nice.

I think that among one of the big differences between Dixie and McMahon is that Dixie never had to struggle and doesn't know the concept of self sacrifice, whereas McMahon has at least been there where he genuinely almost lost it all with no mommy or daddy for rescue. Each crazy in their own way.

Your point stands, though. I do agree that Vince understands struggle and effort far more than Dixie does.

STAC Goat posted:There's plenty of talent in TNA. If anything TNA has actually gotten younger the last six months. They just don't do anything interesting with the talent or just let them let loose to have great matches like what happens in indies to cover bad writing/booking. getting younger doesn't mean poo poo when you lose people like sabin, shelley, bad influence, styles and replace their positions with tiger uno and rob terry in a mask. tna has talent but they have a lot less talent then they did six months ago. also, does youth even matter in a company that exists month to month?

I can see how they die now. Smark crowd that shows up for the June tapings will contribute to a terrible few weeks of TV. When they tape again in August, the crowd will be half the size and ten times nastier. Those shows will be so awful that Spike may not even air them, TNA finally dies.

It sounds like they're just unloading empty space to save money now that the previous use for that space is in another facility. What's stupid is that they probably haven't been using that space for a long time and were paying for it just because.

I'm looking at their schedule from their site: Tapings in Bethlehem, PA on June 20 and 25; three nights of tapings at Hammerstein June 25-27; four house shows in July and then... what? Are they really going to stretch those five nights of June tapings until the August Hammerstein tapings?

Mr. Carlisle posted:I dunno how you've hung on to hope this long but there's nothing but disappointment ahead so it almost makes me feel bad knowing its coming for you No hope. I'm not sure how you read that in my post. I haven't watched an episode of Impact in months and if anything everything they've done in 2014 has pushed me further and further away. All I said was that there's talent on the roster. The Wolves, Joe, King, Aries, Roode, Manik/Perkins. Guys who aren't "great" but I think have value like EY, Bully Ray, Storm, MVP. Guys who probably have an upside and value if used properly like Tigre Uno, Magnus, Sanada, Bro Mans, Gunner, EC3. There's no doubt that AJ, Sabin, and Bad Influence were great talents and losses and the roster has slugs like Knux and Rob Terry but talent isn't TNA's problem. There's talent on that roster not being used well and all the recent signings and One Night Only bookings suggests they can bring on more. But talent doesn't mean poo poo if they're being booked like poo poo and not being given the time and circumstance to kick rear end in the ring. And that's what's been happening for a long time in TNA and there's no real evidence that that's going to change in any way. Trust me, you don't have to feel for me. This whol idea of me as the devoted TNA mark still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. TNA can die tomorrow and I wouldn't be especially affected besides the vague idea of people losing work and less wrestling on tv, but I wasn't really watching anyway. Wrestling in general is kind of dead to me, or at least in deep slumber. I'm mostly waiting to see what happens with the Jarrett and AAA projects but I've long ago learned those things rarely work out in wrestling.

I checked TNAsylum to see if they had posted anything funny today, saw the quarters.quote:Q1: Impact opened with a show-high 1.03 rating for a promo between MVP’s group and the Wolves, plus one commercial. Not as bad as last week but still funny. Jeff Hardy and the guy they spent 6 months grooming to be their next big heel saw the biggest drop on the show.

Observer posted:Tickets for the first set of New York tapings were not moving well at all. All the front row is gone for all three nights, but tons of ringside seats are left and they only have 800 seats to fill and aren’t close and New York is traditionally a fast out of the block market. Not surprising but drat.

Their opponents have yet to be announced although their manager/publicist, Lisa Renee Andrews, revealed that they were slated to face the Bro Mans on the card. Jokes write themselves.

All of the shows up until then are in the can so, unless they get heavily promoted in viginettes and backstage segments, I don't see why they would be on the main card. Probably a dark match only.
