"TNA Wrestling. Whatever That Is"

[Deleted]

This fits with the Billy Corgan news, but still TNA got a mention on Pardon the Interruption... kinda

www.wrestlezone.com/news/574667-espn-mentions-billy-corgan-tna

During today’s final rundown on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, co-host Michael Wilbon brought up Billy Corgan signing with TNA Wrestling, then added “whatever that is.” Co-host Tony Kornheiser then said The Smashing Pumpkins aren’t selling out arenas anymore and have no gigs, so Corgan needs work someplace.

Best version I can find so far is this link

Because if anyone knows what's hip and cool with today's youth it's Tony Kornheiser.

I just posted about hat in the other thread before I saw this. As I said, at least TNA is getting so coverage.

Honestly if I were a reporter even if I knew what TNA is I'd probably pretend I didn't.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

...Aren't Smashing Pumpkins selling out arenas pretty regularly still because they don't tour THAT often?

"We were mentioned on ESPN, sugah. Our brand is growing every day, darlin'"

[Emmet Russell]

I can't believe they're still going by the TNA name. You'd have to think that's bad marketing, because if casuals hear that name they won't think of a wrestling company, they'll think of a very different kind of TandA.

Impact Wrestling is a good name. They should have branded themselves as that.

Like a guy with the name Korn will put over the Pumpkins.

[Push R Truth]

It's not worth pretending to know what TNA is because 98% of the world will hear TNA and think Porno. If you are in the media, you are best off treating it like you have no clue what it is even if you watch it daily and wear underwear with Abyss' face stitched into the ass cheeks.

In fact, I bet the average person that hears "TNA Wrestling" thinks it's some sort of crazy combat porn.... which probably would bump their ratings.

[Muskrat]

Just watchin' last nights @midnight, they got a mention on there too.

If I were them, I'd bought a semi-recognizable name. Like say you buy the name and old WWC video library. And hire Tony Shiavonni as announcer and pass it off as WCW. Hey they were hot at some point. WWC sounds like WCW. Good business is usually simple. 

[Speedy Cerviche]

That's so TNA.

You know McDevitt has sued for less.

Then again they did get away with EV2 and Tazz accidentally name dropping ECW every two minutes.

I agree with this, Corgan shouldve mentioned IMPACT Wrestling instead.

Corgan already promoted the show more than Hogan

For years people have struggled to define TNA Wrestling. Nobody knows what it truly is. Some say it's a wrestling program. Some say it's Vince Russo's madness given flesh. Other's say it's a waste of a time.

At the end of the day if it up to us to define exactly what it is. For really, it is many things. Some good, some bad, and some insane.

They still draw pretty good crowds whenever they have a show and do quite well.

[percymania]

I mean everyone know it's called TNA Impact Wrestling. I can see why he was confused >_>

Emptiness is loneliness
And loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness
And this house show's empty, just like me

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

I'm worried the name "Smashing Pumpkins" is more misleading. Have they been known to actually smash any pumpkins at their concerts?

That's not the top of smashing they meant.

The mean "impressive or wonderful" definition of smashing.
