nate Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Also, how ratings don't matter if people doNt spend money on you products and advertisers still don't want to advertise on your show. The theory is Dave knew they were getting moved and didn't report it because someone asked him not to. He also cancelled a show with Kurt Angle so they didn't have to talk around the TV issue. Who knows. It would be nice if the guy just reported the fucking news for his paying customers. Some people have argued that Dave isn't a real reporter. "Idiots."

Reed Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 BREAKING NEWS: @IMPACTWRESTLING will move to WEDNESDAY nights starting June 3rd on @DestAmerica http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/6420 This will end well I bet Psychic Bigfoot already knew this.

Reed Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 DA has an out clause in September They are so fucked. Edit: Anyway, people over at the board have been trying to decipher the Daveinci code and all his cryptic remarks and the most prevalent conclusion is probably that Destination America sources told Dave they're canceling in September, he gave Dixie the heads up and now she owes him a huge favor because he's given her a few months to look for a new network for the show.

goc Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I am pretty sure if anyone else had wanted them they wouldn't have wound up on Destination America in the first place. If they DO wind up getting kicked off DA in September it's really tough to see how they survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm usually the first to blame TNA, but really, this is on DA. They really thought TNA was going to do amazing ratings and turn them into a big time network? Seriously? Shockingly, the people who churn out shows about Amish ghosts, evil mountain monsters and BBQ feuds aren't actually that smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 So if any of this is true, was hiring Corgan some last ditch hail mary by Dixie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 So if any of this is true, was hiring Corgan some last ditch hail mary by Dixie? If the theory about Dave's hints are correct, she genuinely didn't know they were cancelled in September until he told her. I seriously can't imagine spending most of your time as a wrestling promoter telling everyone to "ignore those lying dirtsheets because they know absolutely nothing!" then having it broken to you by a reporter your company's flagship programme is getting scrapped in a few months. Awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 TNA IS doing good ratings on DA, by their standards. It's either the highest rated or the 2nd highest rated show on the network. The problem is that their costs for iMPACT are way higher than on their other shitty shows and the ad rates are lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we wildly speculate now? I say Destination America tries one more time change, Sunday night/ Monday morning 2am-4am, then cancels them. But I mean they are the highest rated show on that podunk channel. Whats the point in moving it? TNA did make a play for Danielson back in 2005 when they signed Joe. He was not interested.

(BP) Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I love the idea of Dixie owing Dave a favor like she could be of any use to him ever, especially if he's telling her what's going on with her own business partnerships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I don't believe Destination America told Dave they were canceling Impact. I suspect Dave is really Psychic Bigfoot and he read one of the DA executive's mind and discovered the truth. Has anyone ever seen Dave and Psychic Bigfoot in the same place? I think I've proved my case. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 We're getting a lot of mileage out of psychic bigfoot jokes. So.... Destination America's investment in TNA was totally worth it, right? I guess? Sorta? OK, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
