Tna needs to hire Chris Daniels' publicist. People in his town seemed to know him more than the promotion he works for.

. Why don't they run TV advert during Raw in that area? it's possible to run an advert for just that market, when I was in America last a local mom and pop restaurant in the Small town (like less than 18,000 population) I was staying in were running adverts during Raw. There's probably some rule or contract clause about not running tv ads for a competitor during the show, especially if that competitor has a tv show on a competing network. On the Raw and Impact threads, people have mentioned they've seen Raw ads during Impact and TNA ads during Raw.

But didn't TNA run an advert during Raw on Jaunuary the 4th with Hulk Hogan saying "why aren't you watching spike right now?" or words to that effect?

If they used to and don't now, then I'd imagine it has more to do with costs.

That's messed up.....because I've seen Advertisements for Raw/WWE House shows during Impact when they run in the area.

I got a good amount of negative feedback from the people of Reddit, but I'll go ahead and post this here with a disclaimer: -I had a great time at BFG 2013 and the talent worked hard. -I got into a nasty car accident shortly after the show which is why I have yet to share these pictures: imgur.com/a/pbu38

I've seen TNA run commercials for their house shows during RAW. Heck, it's the main reason I went to TNA's Coney Island show back in 2012.

Hmm, then maybe it is just a case of tv commercials not being effective, perhaps it is just a piss break (or skipped over in DVR) and people who might be interested don't see it that often.

Is there even enough people there to cover the cost of renting the place and paying talent?

When you really think about it, I don't think the investor referenced on Impact is going to be thrilled with these attendance numbers.

You know a company's brand is screwed, when a roster including Kurt Angle, Sting, Roode, Anderson, Aries and Joe can't draw more then 400. For what it's worth, WCW was drawing house shows just as bad in the early 90s, and that was with their full A-list roster working them. A particularly depressing example: WCW @ Omaha, NE - Ak-Sar-Ben Coliseum - May 24, 1991 (400) Black Blood pinned Sam Houston The One Man Gang pinned Big Josh Ricky Morton & Dustin Rhodes defeated Black Bart & Moondog Rex Fantasia, WCW US Tag Team Champions Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin defeated Tommy Rich, Tracy Smothers, & Steve Armstrong Ron Simmons defeated Stan Hansen via disqualification WCW US Champion Lex Luger pinned Nikita Koloff El Gigante defeated WCW World Champion Ric Flair via disqualification when the One Man Gang interfered

TNA ran out of a tiny, minor league baseball stadium around here and it still relatively looked about that crowded.
But, to be fair, the WCW house shows I went to around 1991 looked about the same, if not worse. I think I have some pictures I took of them where it looks like mostly just the floor seats are occupied.

If that picture represented internet memes, it would either be "Virgil, Wrestling Superstar" or "Keanu Eats A Sandwich"
