TNA Gets A TV Deal With Spike
Kevin OKeefe | Posted on 08/04/05 at 09:41:37 Here is the press release http://www.tnawrestling.com/spiketv/index.html I went to their webpage, and said YES. Then I saw it will air on Saturday Nights. Doh. They want the 18-35 year olds don't they. How many of them are going to be home on Saturday Nights?!!!! I hope I'm wrong, but I see a lethal result from being in this time slot, which will mean the end of TNA. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/04/05 at 09:51:59 It'll draw maybe Velocity numbers. It won't doom TNA... no more than having NO tv deal at all has doomed them. |
Kevin OKeefe | Posted on 08/04/05 at 13:06:36 A bad TV deal killed ECW. If this draws "Velcocity Numbers" it won't be what Spike wants. They will cancel the show, and TNA will fold. - They lost millions (I heard excess of 20 million) so far, no way they continue if this TV deal fails. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/04/05 at 20:11:07 No, shitty booking killed ECW. That, and the fact that Heyman isn't a good businessman. |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/05/05 at 01:47:54 Shitty booking? I thought it was the fact that every time ECW built a guy up, WCW or WWE hired them under an ironclad contract away from ECW? |
AllPowerfulGARTH | Posted on 08/05/05 at 04:46:02 WWE/WCW hiring away ECW's guys was a consistent problem, but ECW was able to survive it until they got their TV deal and started pumping out crap. I mean...Justin Credible as World champion? |
Kevin OKeefe | Posted on 08/05/05 at 05:33:07 Shhh. I kinda liked credible. |
