RRR Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Screw a rebrand this company needs to fold. The only unimaginable thing they accomplished besides living this long is actually making it more embarrassing to be a wrestling fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it turns out, the 1.8 mil is correct. Reports from last week made it sound like it was 1.8 per taping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 In Britain, Kodi has really taken off and so that might have pushed ratings down a bit. Smackdown and NXT have both really encroached on TNA's status of alternative product. And the matches haven't been good enough often enough recently. I could see one of the UK feds like RPW/WCPW maybe doing TV for Challenge. I dunno, maybe I am underestimating the production costs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 personally I would rather clean those mats than listen to Al tell you 4 to 6 hours a days about how the business is terrible and how much of a genius he is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I image Al teaches them to bump and work on filthy half-inch gym floor mats from Modell's, all the while telling them that they have to earn the privilege of working in a real ring. And all the while he actually just doesn't want to pay for a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Naming it the Impact Global Development Center is a joke obviously, but I don't think this is school is that bad. Al Snow isn't the only trainer there, they also have Doug Williams, Bad Bones John Klinger, Joe E. Legend and a few other wrestlers with a lot of experience.

RIPPA Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 SURPRISE~! Another vendor TNA dicked over would like their money http://www.sescoops.com/exclusive-tna-owes-yet-another-debt-this-time-to-merchandise-designerimporter/ Quote The plaintiff/creditor, Fraley International, says on its website that it “provides expert resourcing and trading solutions for all of your importing/exporting needs.” In the complaint, it’s explained that “TNA has contracted at various times with Fraley for Fraley to design and order various merchandise for TNA, including, but not limited to, t-shirts, cups, and sunglasses.” They design, source, and order the merchandise, having it shipped directly to TNA from foreign suppliers, fronting all costs and not being reimbursed at all until TNA pays them after receiving the order. This arrangement went south starting in September 2015, when TNA stopped paying Fraley. This went on for 23 different orders until the relationship completely fell apart after TNA never paid for a December 22nd, 2015 order. Farley insists that “TNA accepted the merchandise without objection or complaint” plus “the merchandise was in good working order and was consistent with TNA’s order.” All told, TNA owes a total of $43,348.70. Nothing has been filed in the case since July 19th, when TNA’s attorneys filed their notices of appearance. That’s the procedure for when a lawyer puts him/herself on down as an attorney of record on a given case, and there’s been no official movement since TNA’s lawyers filed their respective notices.

This financing is an extension of the support we have been providing since the beginning of the year,” said Leonard Asper, CEO of Anthem. “There are tremendous opportunities to support the company’s growth on all platforms and in all media along side Dixie and the incredible talent and staff at TNA.” http://impactwrestling.com/a-new-partnership/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
