Their mindset was to try and use TNA to boost the ratings of the channel as a whole, by both bringing up the average viewer count for the network and getting their viewers to watch their other shows, boosting the ad revenue for the rest of the network. It's just they vastly overestimated TNA's appeal and the quality of Bigfoot Barbecue Hunters or whatever. They've been idiots, sure, but TNA still failed to deliver what they were promising. And for that matter passed over better deals with other networks so Dixie could potentially have a reality show. Which a Dixie Carter reality show says to me all we need to know about why she keeps TNA around. She's taped what, three pilots of a show starring her and shown them to people and not one person or station has even shown the slightest of interest in her.

And that's saying something since Chrisley has a TV show.

The final shot should be of Dixie leaving in a helicopter and the final shot is of the word Goodbye, written out using Bram's multi-year contracts.

Then, Kurt Angle does a moonsault from the helicopter onto the carefully placed multi-year contracts of Bram's spelling out "Goodbye". Thanks to all of the contracts flying in the air, the "Goodbye" becomes "Girl, Bye".

There was also an old news where he did a hidden camera show pea king wwe stars when he was hanging out with them at a wrestlemania (while being on tna), I think he taped a full show but they threatened to sue.

right? I don't know why they just didn't keep ROH and TNA around and make the night "America's Wrestling Destination on Destination America." If they perceived pro wrestling as low income why even bring it on in the first place. I see a lot of LOLTNA stuff on this, but to me it's more LOLDA because the channels mindset clearly is as set in stone as Vince McMahon's storyline changes. Their mindset was to try and use TNA to boost the ratings of the channel as a whole, by both bringing up the average viewer count for the network and getting their viewers to watch their other shows, boosting the ad revenue for the rest of the network. It's just they vastly overestimated TNA's appeal and the quality of Bigfoot Barbecue Hunters or whatever. They've been idiots, sure, but TNA still failed to deliver what they were promising. And for that matter passed over better deals with other networks so Dixie could potentially have a reality show. Also, most of the other shows on DA are either reruns or shows that are cheaper to make than a TNA show. I don't know how much it cost to make an episode of Impact, but I am sure that it is cheaper to throw together a Bigfoot show, a groups of dumbasses filming shaky night vision shots of a forest, or a bbq contest with a $5000 dollar grand prize.

I don't know about that, because DA wasn't paying anybody to go down and film it, TNA had there own production and sends them tapes to air it. TNA pay the talent. DA paid for the rights. That why there was reports about TNA production crews not getting paid and what not. That like saying USA is paying out pocket a crew of people to go to Raw. WWE pays everyone to put that show on and the sets. USA is paying for the rights to air it and sees it as a show that draws ratings for the network and it does.

Basically TNA is a more expensive show to make, so TNA charges more per episode to air their show, compared to most of the other shows, which either are reruns, shows that aired on other discovery owned channels, like FBI Files or Bigfoot Hunters, or the few other DA originals like BBQ Hunters where the participants aren't getting paid like the top names in TNA.

I was hearing a podcast on YouTube, the guys noted something interesting about the Sports Illustrated article, that the guy was just a casual fan, and didn't knew much about the company, they should've grilled her lol like asking her if she had any shows taped after the one that airs this week.

I mean, Destination America is probably pretty low on Discovery's list of priorities, but they couldn't be bothered to Google TNA or at least ask for some viewership numbers? Likewise, TNA could've looked up how many homes DA is available to before putting everything they had into this deal.

The thing about that is, from TNA's side at least, they actually took a cut in "available viewers", in order to get a second show(and, let's face it, probably to try to leverage that damn Dixie reality show eventually), which was almost immediately cancelled. Didn't they turn down an offer from WGN because WGN wouldn't give them another show?

That and they also passed on CMT after Spike kept them on air past their contract to give TNA time until a transfer over to them. And CMT's in way the hell more homes than DA is.

I think they turned down WGN because they wanted TNA to go dark for a while and Dixie wanted a network that would start airing Impact asap.
