So I know it's old news but these billboards are popping up like crazy in Stamford. I drove by 5 today as I did some errands downtown.
Did they seriously ONLY put these up miles away from WWE Headquarters as a cheap shot?

I dunno. If they have put up a lot of billboards in other markets, as well, then it might not be so bad. But if they just put up a ton in Stamford and few anywhere else, that is just absurd. It's not as if Stamford, CT is some huge, untapped market of wrestling fans, just because WWE hq is there.

If they did, that's among the stupidest crap I've ever heard.

TNA's 'shots' at WWE are like the kids that ring an old man's doorbell in the middle of the night. Except in this case, the old man is deaf and doesn't hear the bell.

I've yet to see any TNA-related billboards in New Jersey, which being between NY and Philly I imagine is more of a wrestling market than the home of Titan Towers.
But then is anyone surprised that TNA is putting a petty one-way "rivalry" with WWE (which at this point, is as about as competitive a rivalry as the Washington Generals have with the Harlem Globetrotters) over good and sound business practice at this point?

Ted Turner made his millions in the billboard business. Ted Turner and Vince McMahon hate each other. Hmmmmmm.

Nothing I've seen here in east Tennessee. Gotta be a reasoning behind that kind of promotion tactic.

Can't shake the feeling that reasoning is "That'll get up Vince's nose, hohoho!"

The "war" existing pretty much in Bischoff's twisted little mind at this point. |

Yeah - well, looks who is behind this. Some one thinks this will create controversy , and as controversy creates cash.
On some planet this is a smart move.
Bischoff's fatal flaw - this is earth.

And the kids are middle-aged men. Now I have the visual of Dixie, Hogan and Bischoff at Vince's house trying to play ding dong ditch, but screwing it up royally a la Beavis and Butt-Head. DIXIE: *rings doorbell repeatedly* (Vince McMahon opens the door) VINCE: Yes, how can I help you? (Dixie just stands there, continuing to ring the doorbell) VINCE: Lady, what the hell do you want? DIXIE: Hey, how's it going? *runs back into the bushes* HOGAN: We sure burned him, brother! |

I haven't seen or heard anything ad-wise from TNA in Philly, and they have two shows coming up around here according to Eventful.
Sometimes this company is frustrating to watch.

If they could budget those signs in Stanford, than they could and should do it in NYC, On the 405 in LA, 610 in Houston, 45-35 interchange in Dallas and A1A in Miami. That is awareness nationwide. Or you could do it in towns you are running six months from now
