Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is Cyrus The Virus running the network? He would at least make TNA semi-entertaining. He's got pop after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Apparently they will be on POP, the former TV guide channel. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 So for those of you marks who doubted TNA it is now obvious. They are taking over the #2 promotion spot from Paragon Pro Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 But wait, I thought NXT was the #2 promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Well, GFW is going to need an announcer. You know, if they actually get a tv deal... Oh fuck I would rather someone put a screwdriver in my ear then hear the tandem of Josh Matthews and Chael Sonnen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Anyone else love that wrestling is apparently too low-brow for the same TV network with "Hillbilly Blood," "Alaska Wildlife Troopers," "United States of Bacon" and "Unsealed Alien Files?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hey, don't sully the good name of United States of Bacon. Found some might good options in Baltimore thanks to that show, still need to check them out. Besides, I'd much rather see that than the other three shows you listed. I think the only good thing about that Live Exorcism they did was it resulted in Bubba Ray tearing the guy behind it a new one. But yes, wrestling seen as too low-brow even for that channel is pretty damn hilarious. Even more hilarious when realizing it's going to be sandwiched in between informercials and reruns of old shows. Fan-f'n-tastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hell, I'd watch TNA again if the dude from United States of Bacon was hosting. His enthusiasm and love of bacon was so infectious while watching that show, he could probably do the same with TNA in a Don West sort of way. But then again, if he got the gig, TNA would probably suck any love or enthusiasm for anything out of his system. And then even piles of delicious bacon will seem empty and existenceless to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Anything bacon-related already has more valuable content than TNA. And the idea of TNA suddenly becoming the #2 promotion because they're on the former TV Guide channel is fucking hilarious. The only #2 TNA is at this point is the same kind of #2 left in a toilet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Aw, man, sucking the love for bacon out of the guy would be horrifically sad. Quite possible if he worked there, but sad. Damn, now I want some bacon. i love that in doing a Google search for Pop TV yesterday, two things show up side by side: 1. The official site for Pop TV. 2. MVP tweeting about it saying that Spike= $$, DA= $ and Pop TV= -$ It doesn't happen today but seeing that yesterday I laughed and laughed and laughed some more.

Spritenaut 32 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Considering TNA has sucked the life out their fanbase for at least the past several years, sucking the joy out of bacon seems like it would be right in their wheelhouse. Also, since standing under the TNA sign has become a meme, a lotta likes to the person who photoshops Psychic Bigfoot into a photo beneath the sign. Bonus points if he does the DX crotch chop.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 it can be argued that more people watch NXT than will be watching TNA on POP. I don't get POP. I don't want POP. The WWE Network has over a million subs at any time. TNA had how many viewers on Destination America? 500,000? That's about to take a dip..

DreamBroken Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I thought much more people would have/know POP than Destination America so I'm surprised it's sounding like the opposite from many people here. Maybe just because I watch POP regularly since it's basically become the replacement for the former SoapNet. Just figured it was a channel more people would have, I have Charter cable and actually have it twice (ch 50 and ch 213). Glad to hear there will still be an Impact replay, hope it sticks to right after the first broadcast, always liked that about Destination America for missing the first airing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 To be fair, people will now accidentally watch TNA while they're waiting for the scroll to tell them what's on TNN after Hee Haw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I love that there's a guy on the PPW roster called Darin Corbin. And apparently that's his real name. Darin Corbin's been around for a long time. He's based out of the midwest and was trained by Arik Cannon. He and Ryan Cruz are the North Star Express. Corbin's worked for AAW, Chikara, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I love that there's a guy on the PPW roster called Darin Corbin. And apparently that's his real name. Darin's been around for at least 10 years. He has a brother (not sure if legit or kayfabe) named Aaron who wrestled in the Minnesota indy scene in the mid 2000's. Logically the first entry in the 2016 Chikara King of Trios should be the Corbin boys: Baron, Darin, and Aaron. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTTW Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 As a guy who really didn't watch much TNA, did they actually make anyone a star, or at least try to? I remember some talk of AJ, but he was already a name before he got that. Spud maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
