  1. Evening guys I haven’t been on here in a while I don’t know you still had the tna thread going :)

     

    anyway I along with a group of others went to Ottawa for b4g we flew back Tuesday so I was able to take in the Monday taping 

     

    just watching back over b4g and last nights impact the crowd sounded a lot louder in the building at bound for glory than it came across on tv I didn’t think b4g was all that great tbf i like drake and think he’s doing the best he can with what he’s got but beyond him and ec3 everything else is a bit meh atm although I have enjoyed the ATT stuff to an extent 

     I don’t think I’d be going back Across the pond for a tna event unless there’s some big changes apart from a few bright sparks everything feels a bit lifeless I never thought the company would miss Dixie but boy does it i think just going back to actually being tna would help them out massively this ongoing identity crisis is doing it no favours

    Onto impact in all honesty it was a much better night than b4g the night before I wasn’t a fan of the Alberto promo the night before but really enjoyed his stuff on the tapings  Eli is doing great with what he’s getting but it’s sad to see EC3 saddled with a pointless midcard slot with the grand title nobody cares about 

    Having watched it back today I think impact was a well put together show I’m not a fan of the going off to bcw/crash segments but beyond that the show was solid enough 

    The opening did well to play to the Canadians in the crowd and showcased Eli’s strengths 

    Dutt vs Sydal was a good match and the ec3 promo at the end was great 

    onto edwards vs Fantasma was easily the best match of the entire weekend 

    non of the backstage brawl between Alberto and Johnny was shown on the screens to the audience so on the night it came a bit out of the blue but I enjoyed it having seen the segment in its entirety now on impact I think it maybe went a little too long but still enjoyed it 

     

    all in all a fun weekend away Ottawa maybe the capital city but there’s not a great deal going on the pavilion was a cool venue with a rich history but I think impact would be best served hitting established wrestling markets If they intend of keeping it on the road 

     

     

     

     

     

     

  2. Got to give it to tna they got exactly what they said they wanted for the fans impact will be Friday nights less than 24hrs after the USA airing and ppvs will be live in the U.K. Not heard anything about numbers but with options with itv and possibly bt this must be a good deal for tna

     

    And with them being back with Viacom you've got to think there's a good chance spike will be the new Home come January with what Ed has already had to say re the pop deal

  3. I'm hearing it's a Tv deal

     

    The talks they publicly acknowledged were with itv and bt sport it's nailed on for an announcement an app restriction happened yesterday which now been lifted which coincides with the new faq re impacts im guessing that was some sort of test

     

    I'd guess the app will stay at £4.99 no idea what will happen re ppvs as they do want them live in the uk (or atleast did under Dixie) impacts will be given a 6 month time delay according to the new FAQ

     

    Fingers crossed the teased additions to the app come off with Noah and crash shows supposedly getting added no doubt whatever was taped for GFW will soon be added aswell

  4. Ed nordholm has been very clear from day one he will not tolerate tna operating in the red for long they are being very aggressive negotiating several tv deals the app is soon to launch worldwide and talent will no doubt continue to leave anyone who Dixie has put on unrealistic money won't be around much longer reading between the lines a uktv deal is imminent

     

    Interesting reading the interview above sounds like anthem could sign othe promotions to the app would be great to have Noah shows added
