If it saves on money, it's probably for the best. If there were no dates in November it would be more of a cause for concern, but it looks like TNA is going back to their 2005-2006 days, except with the fraction of the pay per view buys (which were low by WWE standards) and a few more viewers on television in prime time on Thursday.

I really dont know why they wouldn't run any NorCal shows before the ppv. I don't folllow TNA that much, but I would probably try and see them live if given the opportunity.

I hope they don't cancel Nov. 9th. If this really is the TNA farewell tour I want to be there to witness history. And if it isn't I still want to see a night of great wrestling mostly unhindered by the shitty booking of their tv product.

How are they supposed to make money if they're losing money on TV tapings, don't sell many PPVs, and apparently aren't making enough on house shows to justify running any?

Has there actually been anything nearing official said about TNA's financial status, or has it been speculation and rumour up till now?

Forgetting that November and December are holiday months, and they got the big UK tour in January they're doing. |

I know more in December, they do the whole "film 3 or 4 episodes back to back so no one works on the holidays" thing, and tend to not do much shows until the next year. |

How are they supposed to make money if they're losing money on TV tapings, don't sell many PPVs, and apparently aren't making enough on house shows to justify running any? Their crystal meth side business is profitable. Entirely unrelated but I had the idea so here it is.  Vince: I know all about your operation. See, my partners here tell me that you produce an entertainment product that’s 70% pure, if you’re lucky. What I produce, is 99.1% pure. Dixie: So? Vince: So, it's grade-school T-ball versus the New York Yankees. Yours is just some tepid, off-brand, generic cola. What I'm making is Classic Coke. Dixie: Alright. Okay, so, um, if we just waste you – right here, right now, leave you in the desert – then there is no more Coke on the market, right? See how that works? There's only us. Walter: Do you really want to live in a world without Coca-Cola? [Dixie laughs.] [Vince throws a Raw script at Dixie’s feet.] Vince: My partner tells me that your crew switched to a four sided ring because of our success. You change your production to look like mine. You already ape my product at every turn. But now, you have the opportunity to sell it yourself. Dixie: I need you to listen to me. We’re not going to give up this deal to be your errand boys, do you understand? For what? To watch a bunch of midgets get better pushes? Vince: A better story means customers pay more for pay per view. A higher entertainment value means a greater interest. That’s $130 million of profit that isn’t being pissed away by some sub-standard booking. Now you listen to me. You’ve got the greatest sports entertainment promoter in Am – no, the two greatest sports entertainment promoters in America – right here. And with our skills, you’ll earn more from that 35% than you ever would on your own. Dixie: Yeah, so you say. Just wondering why we’re so lucky. Why cut us in? Vince: Stephanie is retiring from our crew. So her share of the partnership is available, if you can handle her end: distribution. And if you give her $5 million of the $15 million that you brought today. Just think of it as a finder’s fee for bringing us together. We have 40 weeks of booking ready to film. Ready to go. Are you ready? Dixie: [Laughs.] Who the hell are you? Vince: You know. You all know exactly who I am. Say my name. Dixie: Do what? I don't–I don't have a damn clue who the hell you are. Vince: Yeah you do. I'm the cook. I'm the man who killed WCW. Dixie: Bullshit. AOL/Time Warner got WCW. Vince: You sure? [Dixie glances at Stephanie, who shakes her head.] Vince: That's right. Now say my name.  Dixie: ...You're Mr. McMahon.  Vince: You're goddamn right. |

If this was an EWR game it would probably be over soon.
