I know nothing about TNA's financials, but I thought the house shows got them into the profit margin originally,
thats seems like a dumb thing to stop

Its too bad if they go this route: most of the time the house shows are better received than your average episode of Impact.

Didn't TNA just draw 2500 people in a recent house show ?

Da hell?
They may not make much cash off them, maybe even a loss, but often the house shows get better reports than Impact. More straight wrestling, lots of crowd interaction and popular with the fans.

Whatever, and most of the UK shows are sold out of tickets as well.

How does this make the company more money? Or more accessible to the public?
I miss pre-Hogan TNA so much.

It says until the TV comes together, so it's not as much kill and hold up until everything's set to run again.

First off, it says Hogan WANTS to (also mentioned the word UNTIL....usually meaning temporary) . It said nothing about what is going to happen or what the alternative would be.
Secondly, I honestly want to hear from some of you financial gurus. Please tell me:
1) How TNA is doing financially on the house show circuit.
and....
2) How temporarily shutting down house shows, if that is what in fact happens, will hurt the company's bottomline.
Yes, I am asking someone to not use a tired cliche (i.e. "WCW") but actually give me an answer that has some business reasoning and fact behind it whether in defense of the move or not. I don't pretend to know how much cost and revenue house shows have on TNA so whether this is good or bad is not for me to say. But since most people here who have responded seem to know the truth, I'd love to hear it.

People need to stop crying. No one here knows if the house shows make money or not. If they are causing TNA to lose money then it is a good decision. If they are helping TNA draw more money then yes I would agree that it is a stupid move.

It was on Bubba's show.
It was reported by Ryan Clark.
We'll just wait and see, shall we...?
