Smart to actually try to spend more money in markerting and advertising, and it would be good for the pro wrestling business if Impact gets a better TV deal for the Fall(We know AEW is getting either TBS, TNT or any big TV network).

Yea, good luck with that
AEW is still on the market looking for a station and if all you can get last time was this hunting channel, where are you going from here?

Well they hinted that it would be a network that everyone has and it was big. At worst AEW gets TruTV imo.

TNA's going to be sitting on Pursuit for a while to come, I feel. Even with new management, the stink of what they did to the networks they'd been on paired with the live twitch simulcast and their now non-existent Neilsen ratings are going to make them a complete non-starter.

Interesting that they have "more money coming in"; guess it goes to show that actually running cards with some advertising and tickets people actually have to pay for, combined with an improved product, can lead to better business.
As bad as the stink that Dixie left behind was, I wonder if once AEW's deal is announced that a smaller network will suddenly go "Huh, WWE on Fox, AEW on TNT/TBS, maybe this wrestling stuff is getting hot again" and make an offer.

I don't remember specifics, but I seem to recall something saying their live shows are actually selling some tickets for a change, so maybe they've stopped completely shitting the bed on that front. Impressive, if so, considering even only somewhat removed from prime TNA had serious problems doing, running house shows without operating at a loss due to no one knowing it was happening.

That and I think a lot of TV channels are just having trouble coming up with original content. Look at a channel like IFC. They are trying to grow but the only original show they have that has really gotten popular is Brockmire. You cant rely on Two and a Half Men and That 70's Show reruns if you want to become more than the Independent Film Channel

They’ve been slowly improving financially for awhile now. When they restructured the management, they stopped the bleeding for the most part and got them back to a sustainable business plan, and I believe they had some new contracts kick in this year to help cash flow. And AEW quite possibly could get people interested in Impact, but I don’t think anyone makes an offer til AEW TV debuts. If they come out the gate hot, I could see someone taking a chance on Impact.

Impressive, if so, considering even only somewhat removed from prime TNA had serious problems doing, running house shows without operating at a loss due to no one knowing it was happening. Around half of these live joint shows and tapings sell out the venue. Whether or not that’s a lot of people varies greatly upon where they are. Sometimes it’s 1-200 people sometimes it’s a few thousand. Either way it’s certainly more money coming in.

Impact's TV plans are to have everyone on the roster apply for a Best Buy credit card until they can afford to buy a new plasma TV

Between that and partnering with the local promotions to do joint shows. Gives the local promotion a boost, and gives Impact people who already know the area.
