Frankly If I was Janice I'd kick her out with nothing but the clothes on her back, because we all know Bob's not going to do anything to upset his Princess. Kick her out of the company and cut her off from everything. Tell her she's not getting a free ride anymore and if she wants something go get a job and work for it and live in a apartment surviving off of food stamps like she has made people in TNA do before. She better hope nothing bad happens to Bob because she going to wind up like Tori Spelling after her dad died. As I mentioned earlier on here, TNA is only around as long as he's still breathing and enabling her and he's in his eighties. They are only around as long as he is.

Die! God dammit, why won't TNA just die already?! Most of them will not end up in WWE or NXT, so they need the work. That's not a good enough excuse. Wrestlers can get gigs in the indy circuit. Gunner and Sam Shaw get regular work. It may not be high profile like ROH, PWG, or New Japan but work is work as long the check clears. Which more than a number of TNA wrestlers can say.

In around 18 months time, TNA will have been on 3 different networks, 4 different days and 2 different time slots.

I don't have Pop TV. I'm super happy about this.

Exactly, you think AJ just sat on his butt at home waiting for New Japan to call him? No, he went and busted his back for promotions all over and put on stellar performances that showed he was still one of the best in the world and that it was AJ Styles that made him a star, not TNA. If you want work, go out there and get it, don't think you are entitled to it. And if you aren't good enough, then Wrestling isn't your calling.

Tigre Uno? One of the biggest stars in wrestling?

And over the course of Impact's existence it has aired first-run every day Monday through Saturday at some point. In the case of Thursday and Friday, and possibly others, it's done so at more than one point in time.

You know what, good luck to them. Every time I'm like "oh my god, this is the end," they just continue to prove me wrong. They have some talented guys on their roster that they can build around if they use them properly. Is the product for me right now? No, but the more wrestling is on TV, the more exposure the industry gets and the more the dudes that break their butts for us every week get paid. Good enough in my book.
They do have UTA working with them and I feel like they'll be the folks trying to broker the advertising spots - it may end up working out for them in the long run.

Like, I know it's completely unreasonable, but I'm f***ing furious that TNA is still limping along. If they died, something better might rise out of the ashes, without Dixie at the helm. It needs to end. TNA is making terrible for any other chances of a pro wrestling company going national and getting a cable show. Yep, TNA's constant failures tell TV channels rightfully or wrongfully that Wrestling that's not WWE isn't worth your time.

Tigre Uno? One of the biggest stars in wrestling? Token Hispanic needed for the press release. Besides the media doesn't actually fact check these things otherwise they would know it's full of shit.

I mean, I suppose if you divided every wrestler in the world in two groups in terms of how many people know who they are, Tigre Uno would be in the top half. There's that.

I'm not sure about POP's availability in homes versus Destination America, but the fact most of us were going "What the f*** is POP?" Honestly the programming now feels like it's a skeleton crew. Imagine it a year from now. It's a tainted brand in the mind of most wrestling fans. I'm not sure TNA can fix that with the current name and management, but they need a total overhaul.

While WWE's current numbers are not as high as 4 years ago, it's still got value to a network wanting to elevating their profile and provide a solid anchor to the weekly ratings. TNA on the other hand scares networks by being a constant f***up and hurts anyone with some competence wanting to bring a wrestling show to cable.

Honestly the programming now feels like it's a skeleton crew. Imagine it a year from now. It has about 50% more than what DA does, but the difference is DA was paying TNA, TNA's paying POP and hoping to make the money back through ads directly after being kicked off a network because advertisers didn't want to run their commercials during Impact.

They get no money from this deal and doesn't solve the main issue that advertisers still aren't going to want to advertise on TNA.

They just don't want her to work for Panda, and tank that. Gotta love that there's this countdown clock on their website, yet browsers are saying the website isn't to be trusted. Great stuff there TNA. Surely, there is a fluff position within Panda or a subsidiary (if any) that she can do that will cost less long-run than pumping cash into what looks more and more like a money pit of a vanity project. Clear the janitor's office out and make it Dixie's office. Give her the title of "Moron In Chief" and instruct employees to not interact with the moron.

I wonder what kind of crazy-ass budget cutting we're looking at for them trying to keep themselves alive while waiting on those advertiser dollars that are never coming given what they've done so far. A year worth of Eric Young / Manik matches taped in Dixie's basement over the course of a weekend?

Tigre Uno is not even in the mid tier of recognition in Mexico. His only big brush with fame is being in the same ring when Perro Jr died.
