Guys, we're used to having irrelevant & bone-headed organizations using our arenas. We're home to the Hornets after all.

The "Interactive Fan Experience" will be Dixie asking the dozens in attendance for volunteers to set up the ring and man the cameras. And here I thought it would be a hologram of what a tna fan was. I like how a year ago we were questioning if TNA can fill a house in Japan and now we're questioning if they can fill a house in North Carolina when they have two Hardys on their roster. As someone who has lived in NC for the majority of my life let me say this... Dixie could fuse Michael Jordan, Ric Flair, and Richard Petty into some unholy amalgamation hosting a honey vingear bbq pig pickin' at the NC state fair as Dogwood flowers rain from the Carolina blue sky and there would be no way I would give her my money.

The wife I are actually thinking about going, provided that tickets aren't ridiculous and it doesn't fall on our anniversary. We really want to see the train wreck in person.

Move this to October 25 for the lulz of competing with Eagles @ Panthers on SNF.

How can you have an interactive fan experience when you have no fans? I'm confused by this oversight.

I didn't think anything could be as sad and depressing as Bound for Glory 2014 but, bless 'em, sounds like TNA's gonna give that the old college try.

Anyone reminded of that softball scene from the pilot of Quantum Leap?
I just want a former WWE guy to make a call to Stamford before going out there and scoring a hitter for the desperate team

I want this thread to turn into a series of reaction GIFs to random macrophilia. That's the ultimate way to honor TNA's biggest show of the year and quite possibly last actual show they tape. Don't take it as an indictment, I'm into weirder things. Plus I was already aware of it. Just joining in the fun, as well. Plus, I got my own quirks. Her clothing in question is the main one.

Yeah this show doesn't even deserved to be pirated. What the f*** is wrong with TNA? You can't do a ppv without tv, you barely have a roster, all the guys are leaving. I think this show is gonna end up being cancelled. Nobody will attend that piece of shit, not even crickets. TNA can't afford a ring. The production crew is gonna get their revenge by just streaming shit, literally shit during the ppv. I expect Pope to broadcast the whole ppv being drunk and just beating the f*** out of Matthews when he says something stupid. Dixie deserves to be put in jail for crimes against wrestling. I think that the BFG thread is gonna be minuscule, I think that at this point not even one person is gonna buy it. Did a few 10 years ago when their shows were only online and those shows were great (like Unbreakable). And being online only might be a good thing for TNA. Taping an online webshow probably costs less than what they're doing now. Most of their production costs come from having to make an "acceptable for National Television" product. I know TNA has money issues, but I get the sense that some people legitimately believe that TNA are literally (hope I'm using it right) "so poor that they went to McDonalds to put a milkshake on layaway". Stripping down to a web only product would allow them to repurpose whatever funds they have elsewhere, like to the talent.

I went to Genesis 2011 at Bojangles. Maybe 2000 people there in a 10,000-seat arena. That was when we had Rhino challenging Sting for the TNA Title and Sting was the heel who was treated like a god.

I'm still gratified that the last Hogan appearance, where Dixie clung to his leg, is the last TNA show I attended (and let's face it, ever will.)
Sadly for my six year old nephew, it was his first rasslin show.
He understandably didn't really take to it. It wasn't quite a 1986 Mid-South show where the Sheepherders busted opened the Fantastics like my first show.

That was '09 and at least you got a pretty good undercard. I remember both Shelley vs. Sabin and Angle vs. Jarrett from this show being awesome.

And even with the stripped down roster and actual TV money, they've not been really been able to afford to film anything outside of their blocks or to pay their people. You take away the only real reliable income they have, they'll be lucky if they can manage a single extra taping.
