I watched almost every single episode of Nitro in fact the only 1 I do remember missing I was w/our H.S. Marching Band in FL over Spring Break & I've watched a lil' TNA but the lil' that I have watched I can tell ya Bischoff is wanting to live in the past by basically in HIS mind just taking what WCW had in its prime & changing it to TNA but he still wants AJ Styles, Matt Morgan, Samoa Joe, etc.in his what mind calls "new WCW" AKA -TNA? Face Bischoff WCW is OVER-MOVE ON DUDE!
If I was that radio host, when Bischoff said "Don't answer a question with a question, that's not how this works", I'd have snapped off at him and told him, "It works however I say it works, this is MY show!"
THE STUFF RUSSO AN ERIC HAVE DONE, except the first few weeks of NWO, but the main events wer crap,, an if he trys to take credit for any thing benoit, eddie, jericho, ray an other rasslers in WCW.. an TNA wen JOE an AJ wer at it, it was exciting good stuff i love to watch.. TODAY in TNA i see 2 matches tht lasted 2mins each soo i stop watching i like matches in the day tht wer gd short promos ( get a story in there quick) a see wot talent goes wiv it, an at ur WM's BIG UP THE EVENT 2the EXTREAM
BITCHOFF is a one trick pony, doing an innvasion concept witch was not new, this happen in WCCW an wiv new rasslers in there small areas WCW just beat WWF to the punch.. NWO went world wide, to the uk making the news(i woundered wot happened to SCOTT HALL, not nash, but WCW was bad,, as wer WWF at the time.. but wen WWF had their asses handed to them they had the best main eventers on MONDAY NITES an wiv tht came the viewers an the mid-carders at WCW.WWF ATTITUDEera was the best era in wrestling
Bischoff catches a lot of flak but I think he's really intelligent and knows what he's talking about in the business. When he was at the peak of his control in wrestling, he had WCW beating McMahon for 2 years, and that's something nobody has ever been able to do. WCW's downfall had a lot less to do with Bischoff than the WWE documentaries would lead you to believe. Hogan though, that's another story.
You know whats funny? Bischoff called him an "Internet Geek" but how Ironic is it that its the same Internet Geeks that leak all of TNAs Tapings (All 3-4 of them they do in one day" Thus giving people no reason to watch TNA, which in turn slowly kills TNA and makes it not draw any kind of profit to take Impact on the road along with doing house shows in between.
Love him or hate him Eric is a really really really intelligent dude. Definitely out of touch, but he is intelligent and you're not going to successfully argue against him unless your case is air tight.
Bischoff and Hogan have ruined TNA with their complete lack of ability when it comes to running a wrestling company. They don't know how to book worth a damn, all they know is how to stuff their pockets by playing backstage politics and making excuses.
They don't give a f*ck about TNA or it's fans and now that they have got a hold of the purse strings they won't leave until the money runs out, and then they'll set sail to the next small federation with a gullible money mark like Dixie.
@Tyrol3 Agreed. I thought that Bubba the love sponge was the ultimate Hogan asskisser, but it looks like Bischoff is giving the guy a run for his money. A true politician, Eric Bitch-off. Claims that he was the one who first noticed Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero and Mysterio when it was actually Paul Heyman who did. Bitch-off spends more time shifting blame than actually doing what he's supposed to do; making a wrestling promotion worth watching.
Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan and Vince Russo deserve to be subjected to dismissal from TNA. Eric shows his arrogance and ignorance in this interview. Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels, Gail Kim, Shocker, Trinity, Alex Shelley, Elix Skipper and countless other young talent were TNA. They were the wrestlers that really made TNA exciting to watch. Today, Hogan and Bischoff are ruining it just like they did with WCW ten years earlier. Please Ms. Dixie Carter. Start handing out the pink slips.
If that was the case of Vince sending Hulk Hogan & Bischoff to TNA, than, TNA would be TV-PG, their matches would be so slow-paced it isn't even funny & their wrestlers' in-ring styles'd be more watered down than a glass of Jack Daniels.
@tthomaselli2 They can barely wrestle, barely have any wrestling in some of their episodes of Impact and can barely portray anything. Their storylines are silly and the "acting" is garbage. If they got rid of Eric, most of the Legends, and Vince Russo, the show would be a LOT better, I think. That or just cut TNA down to the TNA and have it a woman's wrestling company. But this is all just what I think, and what do I know...
"What do I know?...".; That's exactly what all of us in the YouTube Pro Wrestling Community are asking. All we can do is give our opinions, for starters. That's good, enough for me. Lol.
This guy didnt just get owned he got PWNED.You can tell a mark a mile away like some of these idiot posts on this forum when they talk about Bischoff running WCW into the ground and now running TNA into the ground.Eric Bischoff doesnt make the contracts in TNA and has no overall say in the end product you Dumb mother fuckers.The Execs wanted an excuse for it to be gone after the ratings were in the shitter.They never wanted the WCW and sold it the second Time Warner/AOL stocks sunk like a rock.
Bischoff didn't rip this guy apart, he was just is good at deflecting the negativity away from himself. The idea that Bischoff is at TNA to be an on-air talent is a load of crap. The guy's whole career is one good angle. And he screwed that up quickly enough. He bullshitted his way into a great living and there is nothing wrong with that. But, other than that, he has ridden Hogan's coat tails for 15 years.
@JTZissman Couldn't have said it better myself. Without Hogan, this guy would be just another wannabe TV producer. In fact, he kinda still is. Don't know that he's ever had any successful, non-wrestling projects, unless you're willing to stretch it and count "Scott Baio is Pregnant".
The guy's a non-talent, officially out of ideas (if he ever really had any good ones), who was long forgotten about before he popped back up in TNA to ruin ANOTHER wrestling company.
This geek has no clue what he is talking about. Just because you are a radio station host for wrestling doesn't make you an authority on wrestling. You're a goof and Bischoff should have hung up and not wasted his time with an idiot like you.
The caller just doesn't know how to succinctly articulate his objection, which is annoying since Eric gave him a huge opening when he compared himself to Sting, Samoa Joe, etc. The key word is contribution. Bischoff doesn't contribute meaningfully to the show—even as on air talent, not creative—and without question suffers by way of comparison with Joe, et al. I want to see Joe wrestle. I don't want to see gray haired geriatrics bloviate their grievances and beat each other with their canes.
@GaeasBlessing the owned should have rephrased the original question and proceded to explain he was taken out of text but because eric was attacking him verbally the owned got frozen in time and could not react out of fear!
I laughed my ass off when he called him an Internet Geek. I think Bishoff is a little arrougant at times but he knew exactly what he was talking about here.
ya the funniest part of that statement is that a real geek would PRIDE HIMSELF on knowing everything. its like telling stephen hawking he doesnt know anything, like wtf?
i spent my life researching this shit and you cant act Bitchoff.
not a bischoff fan but i back him 100% here, i hate people not involved in wrestling saying how it should be done and bischoff did a great job of shutting him the fuck up
My complaint with tna is that they flip flop wrestlers being heel and face too much. Back in the '80's if a wreslter turned heel or face they stuck with it for a while, even when it wasn't working. Because when you flip flop it makes the product feel like a unstructured mess and then everything suffers. Also please for God's sake, get rid of the women wrestling...it sucks in wwe and sure as hell sucks in tna. I immediately change the channel and sometimes I just don't bother turning back.
@Jonwood74 the women wrestling was damn entertaining before hogan and bischoff came into the company... ODB made me laugh like no other wrestler has for a long time. The way it is now, it's useless - before, it was great.
one of the only reasons I enjoyed TNA and not WWE - so clearly opinions on this are divided.
TNA IS WCW EXCEPT WITH ONLY 84 FANS INSTEAD OF 10,000......PS VINCE RUSSO YOU HAVE STING FRUITING AROUND AS A JOKER... HEATH LEDGER IS SITTING UP IN HIS GRAVE ...IF YA SMELL WHAT VINCE RUSSO IS BOOKIN=CRAP........HEY RUSSO TNA IS T..otal N..onsense A..sshole
If Eric was brought in to boost ratings - That was a terrible waste of a plane ticket . . . On air talent???- To be an on-air talent - you need one thing - talent.
BTW i don't really get why everyone saying "Bishoff owned this guy"? Are TNA's ratings not low despite all of the talent that have attained? Is TNA even putting a dent in WWE's audience? Bishoff, Angle, Hardy, Hogan and many other big names have dominated TNA for awhile now, yet the same problem remains, lackluster ratings, terrible buyrates and low arena gates.
Hate to say it but Bishoff kind of proved the guys point. Bishoff brought up all of the vets that work for TNA, yet TNA ratings are still low and haven't really moved in 2 years and PPV's buyrates are still terrible and they can't even go on tour because of low ticket sales. Bishoff bitches about the "IWC" but he fails to understand that many of TNA fans are apart of IWC. Bishoff seems to forget how vast and open the internet really is.
@TheDalinkwent How do you know TNAs ratings are still low? How do you know their PPV buyrates are low? They can't tour because they're still pretty much a regional promotion, they're not national. You're just like that internet guy, and Bischoff would own you too.
@juanbotello1, It's quite easy to look up TNA's ratings, and they have averaged 0.9 to 1.2. Bishoff's talking about all the big names he's brought to the product, yet the ratings haven't really increased to make a difference. Also TNA's own officials have said they would like to move out of the Impact Zone, but the tickets sales have been terrible, they just canceled a tour a month ago for this very reason.
@TheDalinkwent Those "facts" go accordingly to TNA considering that they're a regional promotion. They're not a national product like WWE or like WCW once was. If TNA was a national product and was drawing those numbers you claim, then it would matter. As far moving out of the Impact Zone, they were in N.C. a few months ago and they almost jam packed the arena there. They were in England and they sold out the event. I don't know who those "officials" are.
@juanbotello1, Those officials happen to be the people in charge of marketing and booking arena's. TNA is only drawing 600 to 700 people when they tour outside the Impact Zone, wrestling always draws outside the country so the England gate doesn't shock me. Like I said TNA wanted to tour but had to cancel because of the low gates. BTW are you really saying that TNA is in great shape?
@TheDalinkwent You don't get my point: TNA draws those numbers because they're a regional promotion. They draw those numbers according to their territory. They're not national like to draw 20,000 fans. It takes time to get national exposure. It took WCW time to grow back in their days.
@juanbotello1, BTW i'm not some WWE mark or TNA hater, I actually think TNA has a better roster and has a better chance to do new things, but Hogan, Russo and Dixie are destroying the company, Bishoff with the right people in his corner might be useful. TNA has confusing angles, talent turns face or heel almost every week and I still have to sit through endless segments and boring promos from Sting, Hogan and (sometimes) Flair, I want to see X-division matches, not old guys stumbling about.
@TheDalinkwent I agree with you to some point, except that they are destroying the company. Dixie isn't a wrestling person. She might be a good business woman, but she doesn't have a wrestling vision. Bischoff is just an on-air talent, has no creative control so WE can't blame him. Russo, I don't think he's single handenly killing TNA. TNA's just too young, and you can't expect to make a man out of a boy.
@juanbotello1, Dixie not being a wrestling person is kind of my point, she doesn't know what works and doesn't work and refuses to clean house despite the product suffering. I'm not expecting TNA to be an actual #2 in a matter of years, but the current state isn't growing there fan base either. Bishoff can be useful, but he's always working with people that have massive ego's and lookout for themselves
@TheDalinkwent Egos and selfishness will always be around. Quote Ted DiBiase "Nobody's gonna look out for you but yourself, but at the same time you gotta look out for everyone". And you're right, Dixie doesn't know what works and what doesn't, that's why she hired Hogan to be her business partner. Quote Nash "Everyone has a different aspect of the business". It's not that Hogan's wrong or right, it's just that everyone has a different aspect.
@juanbotello1, It's funny I just saw the shoot Nash did when he said that, and it perfectly explained the problems in TNA, there isn't any focus to a common vision. Hogan still thinks people want to see him wrestle, bookers keep a 51 year old Sting in the main event and Russo thinks his cluster-fuck booking is "cutting egde". TNA's has made choices that boggle the mind and pisses off the fans, this "mark" in the video see's the potential in TNA and has simply had it and I can't blame the guy.
@TheDalinkwent I'm not sure Hogan thinks people want to see him wrestle, cause his wrestling days are over. Having a 51 year old Sting as the main event makes sense cause the fans cheer the crap out of it. This is my opinion as a wrestling fan: AJ Styles is a great worker, but just doesn't appeal to me like Sting. I'll pay to watch Sting, I'll buy a Sting t-shirt, I'll watch Sting on tv, I won't do the same with AJ. Russo....I just don't have a good opinion of the guy.
@juanbotello1, Hogan was just teasing a match with Sting or Flair at last weeks Impact, the only reason he hasn't wrestled more is because of injury's. Sting as champ makes it hard for the younger guys to get over, if they beat him, they beat a 51 year old man and if they loose it's to a 51 year old man. Sting also needs to be carried in matches, but hey if you're a fan that's cool I understand. We all have our favorites.
@TheDalinkwent I disagree with you on that. Beating Sting for the championship is a good way of getting over. As a heel, it's gonna get you more heat, which is natural. As a face, you beat a legendary figure for the strap, and it would make perfect sense. Of course, at times it backfires. I understand Sting isn't young anymore, he's past his prime, and as much as I would hate to see him go, we gotta have new stars if we wanna still be interested in watching wrestling.
@juanbotello1, Beating Sting for the world title would work if they stuck with it. Anderson beat Sting for the title, yet he lost to Eric Young the week before his title win, then lost his title 3 weeks later back to Sting. They buried Anderson before his title match with Sting, then Anderson needed help to even beat Sting, then he looses clean to Sting just three weeks later. This is what I'm mean, the booking is a cluster-fuck that prevents the younger guys from really carrying TNA.
Bischoff was dead on. That guy clearly didn't know what he was talking about. He was just an...internet wrestling geek who flew into a fit and went on a rant about something that he knows nothing about. We're fans. Be a fan, and shut the fxck up...
every interview i watch with this station just seems to ripping at wrestlers and people surrounding the industry, stings interview with out him even being present was a complete joke
Could someone just stick Bischoff's head up Hogan's ass? The way he goes on about Hogan, he might have done it already.
Bischoff, or as Cornette calls him, Bitch-off should be remembered for being the absolute biggest and most shameless asskisser in all of professional wrestling. Not just America, but the entire world. Ever.
John Laurinaitis could challenge him for that title, though.
Paul Heyman hates this guy with a passion. So does every single wrestling fan in Philadelphia.
@GCWJCTJProductions That's true. He's nothing great behind the scenes but as a character he is very entertaining and no average mark should engage in some pretentious argument with ANYONE in the business.
@GCWJCTJProductions As a fan, the most I'll complain about is what I see on t.v. I'm not gonna talk about the business side or ratings and pretend to know what's good for the promotion. I hate the current WWE product and I think John Cena is very lame but I wouldn't get into an argument with even Cena when it comes to insider knowledge. This mark should've just complained about what he knows about TNA which is limited to tv and PPV instead of complaining about business matters.
@GCWJCTJProductions You may not like Bischoff, but I'm pretty sure he knows a hell of alot more about wrestling than some poser talking shit on YouTube...
@PhukAdvertisements if you are acussing me of a psoer then so be it, but im not one.
Who else thinks he got lucky with the NWO storyline? Chris jericho, dean malenko, and others, It was a great storyline but Eric is not a genius about wrestling and neither am I. So IF your saying I am talking crap, then say it to jerichos face.
my ass eric is not responsible for more than just being a on air talent. i seen him in a room with people that discuss MAJOR business decisions. Eric is a liar. I love him, as an on air talent and especially when he was president of WCW. But he's being a little less honest here.
Just like WCW, Ted Turner was the one calling the shots it was his company not bichoffs, bishoff was only helping. So Bishoff never destroyed WCW Ted did if he wouldn't have wasted his money on over the top stuff wcw would have never died. TNA imo was only good in 2002 and 2003 then it started getting stupid.
The Time Warner merger is what destroyed WCW not Ted Turner (Turner lost power in the merge of TV and Time Warner didn't want wrestling on TNT anymore.
if you want to blame anyone fo tnas low ratings then look no further than wwe marks who make it there job to bag TNA every step of the way.. and when these knobheads with no idea what a good wrestling match is because they watch randy vs cena every week..they open there mouth bagging tna every option tna takes... and sooner of later people are going to listen to these retards
Hey, Bishoff is more than just a talent he's part of creative and if you can't manufacture good storylines then you should go. That's how you answer the question.
@TheMidnightBell07 He's as much a part of creative as Brother Ray is a part of the creative team. Russo and Matt Conway write TNA angles, others just have input.
I don't care if he does/doesn't run anything on TNA, he still has the WCW fiasco that he doesn't own up to, he's generally disliked by wrestlers who don't use him to book their own matches, and he's been said to have had some form of power in TNA, which he says he doesn't have. TNA's numbers HAVE gone down with him around, he is there for no reason other than to be there when he's on air.
@thatonedude675 why should he own up to the WCW fiasco? he didnt send them bankrupt.. if you knew your history youd know that it had nothing to do with the people running WCW.. it was the company that ted turner sold WCW to... they cut its expenses down to nothing forcing them to hire new unknown talent that noone wanted to watch because they had to be pushed way too fast....
eric bischoff was in charge of WCW when they won the monday night wars 90 something weeks in a row
get these men and woman get the former wwe superstars and make tuesday and thursdays impact nights do 2 diffrent impacts make a war with wwe think goldberg vs amazing reds brother the steiners vs the nasteys team 3d vs the hardys vampiro vs the pope
thank god for Eric he is a great guy he doas not own tna he doas not decides the matchs he runs the company he has a say in what happens now what i say is hire all the former wcw guys who dont have a job hire all the former ecw superstars who dont have a job get chris jerico edge goldberg rick steiner animal
@mgray99990 sounds like a good idea if this was 10 years ago.. that roster is too old these days.. dont get me wrong id love to see that list but other poeple are too hung up on next generation superstars.. (wwe marks ho have to bag tna whenever they hire someone whos worked elswhere)
Well there is no clear cut way of looking at the finances of TNA since its a private company but you can assertain how its doing in the ratings when the Neilson Ratings come through and judge it from previouse years.If they are lower then you have an argument for why its not doing so well in the ratings because they are made public but as for finances you dont have an argument because you dont know.
What the hell makes Bischoff think he's a "tallent"? Get a clue dude. I watched TNA regularly before Bischoff and Hogan. Now I haven't watched an episode in the last three months, and don't plan on watching another one until this black cloud has passed, or they go out of business.
@lawlersarmy so what he should say he's a "personality" he cant say "Actor" because you guys will bash him so what? I agree with what he said and your just angry you think you know something but you dont
@vivilakers I might call him a "piss ant" or a "peon", but I'd never call him a "personality" (that requires tallent, not just carrying Hulk Hogan's bags around for years), and what I do know is that wrestling rules, and "sports entertainment" ain't shit!!!
@vivilakers How do you figure 1985? Vince told you so? Hogan had already been in WWF over 2 years by 1985. All "sports entertainment" means is wrestling admitting to being staged in order to avoid payments to the athletic comissions, thus, it means nothing!! Early '80's, Bischoff was carrying coffee for Vern Gagne, Early '90's for Ted Turner, Early '00's for Vice. Like I said, no tallent, just a good gofer.
It's certainly not Bischoff's fault that ratings are low. It's the fault of the idiot that gives him 40 minutes of TV time every week while Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and all their best talent get shit on.
So, why was Eric asking that guy for knowledge in backstage antics (booking, scripting), when he's only an ''on-air'' talent? That guy could've buried Bischoff had he done some homework.
@waynebighorn what killed WCW was the NWO, Russo when he came in and Biscoff. Time Waner Simply pulled the plug cause it wwas making no money. Now as far as TNA goes it is Hogan, Eric Fault TNA was doing good til they came in
@deluxedookie he merged with time waner and lost control of the elements he used to run, then he was removed from the position and return as vice president til 2003 and time waner did sell wcw because they didnb't want anything to do with it since it was not bringing money around the time it died
@deluxedookie it was 2000 when turner sold it to time warner merger. bischoff mis management of wcw after 2 year ratings run vs raw. in 1996-1998 it is bischoff fault for mismangement hogan and flair larger than life fat contracts. aol merger all factors in wcw death. i hope tna wise up and get hogan flair out of tna.
@Zanwifi "he responded to a paragraph that made several good points and he just said your retarded " "He's a youtube fuckhead. prolly has a mental disorder."
I don't care about ratings... I don't care that you worked in WCW. you are a... question dodger, you insult fans of wrestling for being "too smart". I guess it would be pretty irritating if you were paid loads of money to force someone to eat your shit.. and they just refused. but your show hasn't the slightest bit of relevance or coherency. it's just random contradictory, meaningless crap TV. Your Eric Bischoff, and Your a washed up smug peice of trash.
I watched almost every single episode of Nitro in fact the only 1 I do remember missing I was w/our H.S. Marching Band in FL over Spring Break & I've watched a lil' TNA but the lil' that I have watched I can tell ya Bischoff is wanting to live in the past by basically in HIS mind just taking what WCW had in its prime & changing it to TNA but he still wants AJ Styles, Matt Morgan, Samoa Joe, etc.in his what mind calls "new WCW" AKA -TNA? Face Bischoff WCW is OVER-MOVE ON DUDE!

If that was the case of Vince sending Hulk Hogan & Bischoff to TNA, than, TNA would be TV-PG, their matches would be so slow-paced it isn't even funny & their wrestlers' in-ring styles'd be more watered down than a glass of Jack Daniels.
tthomaselli2 2 weeks ago
@tthomaselli2 They can barely wrestle, barely have any wrestling in some of their episodes of Impact and can barely portray anything. Their storylines are silly and the "acting" is garbage. If they got rid of Eric, most of the Legends, and Vince Russo, the show would be a LOT better, I think. That or just cut TNA down to the TNA and have it a woman's wrestling company. But this is all just what I think, and what do I know...

Bischoff didn't rip this guy apart, he was just is good at deflecting the negativity away from himself. The idea that Bischoff is at TNA to be an on-air talent is a load of crap. The guy's whole career is one good angle. And he screwed that up quickly enough. He bullshitted his way into a great living and there is nothing wrong with that. But, other than that, he has ridden Hogan's coat tails for 15 years.

@JTZissman Couldn't have said it better myself. Without Hogan, this guy would be just another wannabe TV producer. In fact, he kinda still is. Don't know that he's ever had any successful, non-wrestling projects, unless you're willing to stretch it and count "Scott Baio is Pregnant".
The guy's a non-talent, officially out of ideas (if he ever really had any good ones), who was long forgotten about before he popped back up in TNA to ruin ANOTHER wrestling company.

The caller just doesn't know how to succinctly articulate his objection, which is annoying since Eric gave him a huge opening when he compared himself to Sting, Samoa Joe, etc. The key word is contribution. Bischoff doesn't contribute meaningfully to the show—even as on air talent, not creative—and without question suffers by way of comparison with Joe, et al. I want to see Joe wrestle. I don't want to see gray haired geriatrics bloviate their grievances and beat each other with their canes.

My complaint with tna is that they flip flop wrestlers being heel and face too much. Back in the '80's if a wreslter turned heel or face they stuck with it for a while, even when it wasn't working. Because when you flip flop it makes the product feel like a unstructured mess and then everything suffers. Also please for God's sake, get rid of the women wrestling...it sucks in wwe and sure as hell sucks in tna. I immediately change the channel and sometimes I just don't bother turning back.

lonnieharris1984 6 months ago
BTW i don't really get why everyone saying "Bishoff owned this guy"? Are TNA's ratings not low despite all of the talent that have attained? Is TNA even putting a dent in WWE's audience? Bishoff, Angle, Hardy, Hogan and many other big names have dominated TNA for awhile now, yet the same problem remains, lackluster ratings, terrible buyrates and low arena gates.
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
Hate to say it but Bishoff kind of proved the guys point. Bishoff brought up all of the vets that work for TNA, yet TNA ratings are still low and haven't really moved in 2 years and PPV's buyrates are still terrible and they can't even go on tour because of low ticket sales. Bishoff bitches about the "IWC" but he fails to understand that many of TNA fans are apart of IWC. Bishoff seems to forget how vast and open the internet really is.
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent How do you know TNAs ratings are still low? How do you know their PPV buyrates are low? They can't tour because they're still pretty much a regional promotion, they're not national. You're just like that internet guy, and Bischoff would own you too.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, It's quite easy to look up TNA's ratings, and they have averaged 0.9 to 1.2. Bishoff's talking about all the big names he's brought to the product, yet the ratings haven't really increased to make a difference. Also TNA's own officials have said they would like to move out of the Impact Zone, but the tickets sales have been terrible, they just canceled a tour a month ago for this very reason.
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent Those "facts" go accordingly to TNA considering that they're a regional promotion. They're not a national product like WWE or like WCW once was. If TNA was a national product and was drawing those numbers you claim, then it would matter. As far moving out of the Impact Zone, they were in N.C. a few months ago and they almost jam packed the arena there. They were in England and they sold out the event. I don't know who those "officials" are.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, Those officials happen to be the people in charge of marketing and booking arena's. TNA is only drawing 600 to 700 people when they tour outside the Impact Zone, wrestling always draws outside the country so the England gate doesn't shock me. Like I said TNA wanted to tour but had to cancel because of the low gates. BTW are you really saying that TNA is in great shape?
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent You don't get my point: TNA draws those numbers because they're a regional promotion. They draw those numbers according to their territory. They're not national like to draw 20,000 fans. It takes time to get national exposure. It took WCW time to grow back in their days.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, BTW i'm not some WWE mark or TNA hater, I actually think TNA has a better roster and has a better chance to do new things, but Hogan, Russo and Dixie are destroying the company, Bishoff with the right people in his corner might be useful. TNA has confusing angles, talent turns face or heel almost every week and I still have to sit through endless segments and boring promos from Sting, Hogan and (sometimes) Flair, I want to see X-division matches, not old guys stumbling about.
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent I agree with you to some point, except that they are destroying the company. Dixie isn't a wrestling person. She might be a good business woman, but she doesn't have a wrestling vision. Bischoff is just an on-air talent, has no creative control so WE can't blame him. Russo, I don't think he's single handenly killing TNA. TNA's just too young, and you can't expect to make a man out of a boy.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, Dixie not being a wrestling person is kind of my point, she doesn't know what works and doesn't work and refuses to clean house despite the product suffering. I'm not expecting TNA to be an actual #2 in a matter of years, but the current state isn't growing there fan base either. Bishoff can be useful, but he's always working with people that have massive ego's and lookout for themselves
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent Egos and selfishness will always be around. Quote Ted DiBiase "Nobody's gonna look out for you but yourself, but at the same time you gotta look out for everyone". And you're right, Dixie doesn't know what works and what doesn't, that's why she hired Hogan to be her business partner. Quote Nash "Everyone has a different aspect of the business". It's not that Hogan's wrong or right, it's just that everyone has a different aspect.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, It's funny I just saw the shoot Nash did when he said that, and it perfectly explained the problems in TNA, there isn't any focus to a common vision. Hogan still thinks people want to see him wrestle, bookers keep a 51 year old Sting in the main event and Russo thinks his cluster-fuck booking is "cutting egde". TNA's has made choices that boggle the mind and pisses off the fans, this "mark" in the video see's the potential in TNA and has simply had it and I can't blame the guy.
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent I'm not sure Hogan thinks people want to see him wrestle, cause his wrestling days are over. Having a 51 year old Sting as the main event makes sense cause the fans cheer the crap out of it. This is my opinion as a wrestling fan: AJ Styles is a great worker, but just doesn't appeal to me like Sting. I'll pay to watch Sting, I'll buy a Sting t-shirt, I'll watch Sting on tv, I won't do the same with AJ. Russo....I just don't have a good opinion of the guy.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, Hogan was just teasing a match with Sting or Flair at last weeks Impact, the only reason he hasn't wrestled more is because of injury's. Sting as champ makes it hard for the younger guys to get over, if they beat him, they beat a 51 year old man and if they loose it's to a 51 year old man. Sting also needs to be carried in matches, but hey if you're a fan that's cool I understand. We all have our favorites.
TheDalinkwent 6 months ago
@TheDalinkwent I disagree with you on that. Beating Sting for the championship is a good way of getting over. As a heel, it's gonna get you more heat, which is natural. As a face, you beat a legendary figure for the strap, and it would make perfect sense. Of course, at times it backfires. I understand Sting isn't young anymore, he's past his prime, and as much as I would hate to see him go, we gotta have new stars if we wanna still be interested in watching wrestling.
juanbotello1 6 months ago
@juanbotello1, Beating Sting for the world title would work if they stuck with it. Anderson beat Sting for the title, yet he lost to Eric Young the week before his title win, then lost his title 3 weeks later back to Sting. They buried Anderson before his title match with Sting, then Anderson needed help to even beat Sting, then he looses clean to Sting just three weeks later. This is what I'm mean, the booking is a cluster-fuck that prevents the younger guys from really carrying TNA.

Well there is no clear cut way of looking at the finances of TNA since its a private company but you can assertain how its doing in the ratings when the Neilson Ratings come through and judge it from previouse years.If they are lower then you have an argument for why its not doing so well in the ratings because they are made public but as for finances you dont have an argument because you dont know.
