Is the Showboat in Vegas available? They may have the old AWA ring still. The place was demolished in 2006, so no. |

Guys, at least they tried as much as they could on going away from Orlando. Oh wait, it's TNA, so smarks always have to s*** on them even if tried something that they originally wanted. I really hope TNA has researched and prepared for live Impacts on the road. This could hurt them if they have error plagued Impacts before 500 people. At least the Impact Zone is always full and the technicians and cameramen are familiar with the surroundings. I'm surprised there's not more discussion of this being an overreach for TNA. They've shown they can draw for a couple days a year in Europe and two nights a year in the US but they haven't at all conditioned a national audience to be aware of and buy tickets for these shows. I'm not saying it's doomed or anything but it seems to me like a much greater risk than the response I see indicates. And that's just for the attendance, not even the logistics of production/going live. |

And I remember when people questioned the decision to take Impact on the road regularly got called negative and haters. In their haste to leave the Impact Zone, TNA forgot to plan for worst case scenarios and have backup plans. |

If it failed, you can objectively say it failed with no malice at all. I wasn't aware third person discussion meant confirmation around here. |

in another case of the "Telephone Game" this rumor has gotten way out of hand. in reality, TNA are actually thinking of investing in an Off-Road vehicle company

If they went with Vegas, they could go with The Pearl Concert Theater, it can hold up to 1,000 or so people plus the UFC doesn't run there any more. The biggest question is if a wrestling company can actually run Vega full-time, Vegas has always been a boxing and now MMA town. Verne really wasn't successful and WCW only ran in Vegas once or twice a year.

I look at it as they failed because they forgot to do what any company should know. To be a company that TNA wants to be yes you need to be on the road. You'll never get a fan base all over the globe if your in one spot. However you need too make sure whatever town your going in that fans are aware of that fact. One billboard and a few ticket giveaways on a radio show isn't going to cut the mustard.
They need to do what the WWE did in the 90's. Local network TV commercials. I could watch nitro and I still get a WWE commercial about them in town. It was a commercial only seem in St. Louis area but on several networks. That what they need to do. But Marketing is a long time TNA failure.

But Marketing is a long time TNA failure. the main reason TNA's never been even remotely on WWE's level has always come down to absolutely terrible marketing. not just on the road, but on TV, in other media etc. I'll be honest, what got me into wrestling as a 12 year old was the video games. TNA made one really bad one several years ago and have never even come close to making another attempt. video games are a huge marketing stream that they won't even touch. and that's only one thing. I remember they put all this money into billboards, and the only ones they put up were across from Titans Tower. they put more money into mocking their much more successful competition than they did in marketing themselves. for a guy who trumpets his marketing abilities, Bischoff hasn't really done anything to make it better since he came aboard, either. |

Make things better for TNA? Maybe, maybe not. Make things better for Eric Bischoff?     I'd say things have worked out pretty great for Eric Bischoff. He's had an avenue to promote his son and indulge in his guitar, karate and motorcycle fetishes. |
