Some of us have explained this clearly over on the "Boycott Impact" thread, but this boycott idea WILL NOT work when you consider the way the Nielsen ratings are actually calculated. If that guy who "has a connection" to Jeff and Dixie is really considering this, he's embarking on a monumentally misguided waste of time and energy. If he really wanted to send a message, he should start an online petition for people who HAVE ordered TNA PPV and WON'T order a TNA PPV ever again until certain changes are made. And this online petition would have to be in the thousands, or tens of thousands for Jeff and Dixie to bat an eye, and honestly, they seem so clueless right now that I wouldn't even think they'd care. I'd sign a PPV petition. I won't boycott Impact, because I'm not a Nielsen household, and neither are 99.8% of the people this boycott dude is trying to reach. TNA has no idea whether I watch the show or I don't on a week to week basis. So it wouldn't make any difference, and it only takes 30 minutes a week to blow through the show with my DVR. Boycotting might not affect the Nielsen ratings, but: * it will give you an extra hour a week of not watching a cruddy show. * it will not expose you to TNA advertisers, whose products you might have bought * it may (or may not) show up on some sort of internal count done by the cable companies * it will give you an extra hour a week of not watching a cruddy show. * it will give you an extra hour a week of not watching a cruddy show.

Meh, I don't think I will be watching. TNA's booking fries my brain.

..No Raven for two weeks? BAH. And a big "WHA" to Sabin/Shelley and XXX losing so much. Hey if no Raven means Raven somewhere else like Project 161.. well then hot damN!

Yeah....I was a pretty staunch TNA supporter, but it seems like they've LOST THEIR MINDS for the most part.
A BLIND person could have seen the Karen Angle swerve coming.
I'll bet Joe is COUNTING the days until his TNA contract is up. I'll bet a LOT of people are.
WWE is going to have a REALLY awesome undercard in another year or so......TNA, if they're still in business....will have WWE's stale leftovers as their entire roster.
Bleugh!!!

...SHARK BOY BEAT THE MCMG?!?! Lack of Raven makes me wonder. Will a certain Project see him in the future? Maybe the rumors are true and Shelley's on the way out back to ROH...

More Pacman, even though he can never legally get his payback for this.
More Angle overkill.
More threatened Man on Woman violence.
More wasted potential PPV matches (and a gimmick one no less with run ins galore!) wasted on free TV.
Nope, not this week or next TNA.

Don't like a lot of this, but here are the good points:
-Kazarian actually getting pushed.
-Lethal hopefully getting a real shot at beating Angle.
-Joe vs. Christian could be fun.
-Pacman is heel, which is how they must go about it.
The rest...can't say it's very inspiring.

- Jeremy Borash interviewed Christian Cage. Cage said nobody cares about Pacman. Cage says he is going to take care of Abyss on his own, and notes that he has never submitted during his time in TNA. Samoa Joe enters and says Christian isn't a real champion, and that he will see him at ringside. When Joe leaves, Christian calls out to AJ Styles and Tomko, saying he needs their help. -PWInsider.com Interesting...Here is what I said in the "Where will Joe go from here" thread: Joe will stew in the upper-midcard. He'll probably take his frustrations out on Christian Cage at the next PPV. This is where I'd insert the "Stephen Colbert: I Called It!" Picture if I had one.
