For every missed spot on TV, the person responsible gets a raise! That explains how (according to Heyman who found out during his negotiation phase) TNA once lost 90 million in a month Heyman said they were 90 million in the red overall. It would be quite impressive if they managed to lose 90 million in a month.

Did the voyeuristic cameraman walkout too?

Yeah, like others have said, Panda is huge, but TNA doesn't have access to all of their money. That'd be dumb, successful businessman don't subsidize extremely expensive businesses for vanity projects, they subsidize a boutique shop. TNA has to manage on it's own.

It would be quite impressive if they managed to lose 90 million in a month. Absurd figure. WCW lost $60mil in one year(2000). And they were bringing in every two bit celeb they could book, redid the sets twice, paid wrestlers not to wrestle for millions of dollars(lookin at you Nash, Hart, Hall, Hogan). No way they went $2mil in red in a month unless they gambled it away on TNA scratch off tickets for the Georgia lottery.

You know, I stopped watching WCW before it died (in part because TSN either stopped carrying it or would continuously jerk it around in time slots), so I never got to watch it slide into its grave. Being around to watch TNA inch closer and closer to it, occasionally making a big leap... it's surreal. I feel bad for the performers and crew still struggling to make it work, but not at all for the people behind the scenes driving this thing into the ground. You think that's bad? WCW was far worse near the end. Rather, it got horrible i'll say for a full year before dying. From the whole Russo/Bischoff's famous "WCW 2000" to when they pulled the plug in early 2001, it was pure torture to watch. TNA has not gotten bad enough to really sting. When they do, i'll come back and tell you "this is it".

They had VHS, shirts, toys, and other merchandise in mainstream stores. TNA doesn't have that, they distribute their own DVDs, it's taken forever for Jakks to announce a new series for their action figures, and you can't get TNA merchandise (with the exception of action figures in some stores) in mainstream stores. I can believe TNA losing more than WCW, because they don't have a lot coming in.

Imo, if TNA REALLY wants to save money, they'd bite the bullet and scale back their production values a bit.
Get out of the Impact Zone and stop with the multi episode taping blocks. Since they're going on the road anyway for house shows, record their house shows with hand-held cameras and let those be their Impact episodes instead.

If they didn't walk out during the filming of this Impact, then they're never walking out.
