wrestleuk

Another great show last night they are doing stellar work at building there characters only negative for me was no decay this week

Rating on the rise again most watched show this year and no doubt well over the 500k mark once the Dvr numbers are totted up

Lmao it hasn't escaped my attention I've been away for the last 2 weeks the rumours are worrying I hope Dixie sells up sooner rather than later

Great episode of Impact last night . TNA showcased their three main feuds (Galloway/Lashley, Bennett/EC3, Hardy/Hardy) while also presenting other side stories to keep the show flowing (DECAY & the debut of Sienna. And setting up bram/drake TNA are doing a great job with Decay and even lashley now appears to have some personality This Was probably TNA's best episode Of the POP era

Roll on next week

One on the far left is marshe rocket

 

 

There's nothing bizarre. This place just isn't the "mindless sheep" sort of forum. Enjoy that other place if you want three pages of people agreeing with each other.

Best thing about this place is that you'll probably only agree with about two other people and you just want to argue with everyone else.

Keep in mind though that when you were wrestleuk's age, you were rage quitting because everyone didn't join in with the "Cena sux, push the cruisers" stuff. It takes a while for a young lad of limited intelligence to acclimatise when they've only ever been used to everyone around them agreeing with the Internet hivemind opinion. Some kid landing here now from other forums would vomit with confusion upon reading a post about Cesaro not being world title material.

 

Although in TNA's case, every fucker on the Internet has abandoned them for NXT now anyway, so it must be a right little pocket of resistance that are still living in the bubble of TNA being great.

Erm out of interest how old is it you think I am exactly lol

Bare in mind as I've said many a time I was a long time wcw viewer who never really watched wwf

Shit because it's not full of people saying TNA is shit every 2 minutes???

And as for the women's forum I can't comment on that I only watch tna and therefore only go on the tna related forum

It's seems bizarrely confined to this forum it's got to the point where I prefer to discuss happenings in tna on http://www.wrestlingforum.com/#/forumsite/20544/forums/39

Over there each episode gets several pages of sensible discussion and there's little to no negativity

It feels as if I'm repeating myself on a weekly basis now but a really solid and logical episode again this week

Top to bottom things are really clicking right now and if your still part of that group who are simply not watching because of past mistakes then your really missing out

I still can't be on with josh and Pope so if lashley wishes to finish the job he started id be over the moon lol

On the downside I think the loss of roode will be a big blow although AMW was sort of teesed last night so maybe Harris is coming back in for storm to work with

I don't see EY as a big loss so much but Roode is such a big talent that they should have done a lot more to hold on to him

Lashley taking out one half of the worst commentary team in history was a particular highlight fingers crossed he can do the same to josh next week lol

Really enjoyable show never thought I'd see grado in a ladder match lol

Really enjoyed it from start to finish great twist st the end with Drew and it's great to see lashley getting some character depth

Viewership is in and the numbers were a big jump up from recent weeks up 85,000 to 307,000 for the first airing and even the replay was over double the previous weeks # in total impact drew 430,000 way up from 280,000 last week

Eli Drake is a 33 year old who was released from WWE developmental and ended up on Pop TV for TNA. I cant see where the bright future is going to come from. Seems like another Mike Sanders to me.

So what does that make ec3?

Eli drake is TV gold bright future imo

I'd beg to differ on that score id say both ec3 and Eli drake would fit that bill

 

I must say that I find it odd that the ratings are going down when the TV had been fine to good since Christmas.

Wasn't Nitro actually pretty decent in early 2001, whilst the ratings plummeted further? By that time the horse had well and truly fled the stable.

Worryingly yes is the answer to that early 2001 nitro was probably the best it had been since mid 98 and they show was really good for about the last 3/4 months solid

Another enjoyable show this week they did a great job of making the end of kurt angles time a big deal

Wasn't a big fan of the KOTM match but other than that I thought the show was pretty good

Judging by http://www.wrestlingforum.com/#/forumsite/20544/topics/1925049?page=8id say my opinion of the shoe fits the general consensus of those who are actually tuning in

Combined viewership for the first airing and replay was 326,000 up 29,000 on last weeks combined 297,000

So then what is it tna can actively do to improve things? For me there putting on a fairly good show right now there's not really anyone available that could come in a big a difference so TNA are doing the right thing imo building up from within but if the network just isn't going to get extra viewers in regardless of the quality of the show then where do TNA go from this point forward

Regardless if your one of these tna haters or a fan of the show if Dixie gave you control right now how would you get that viewership back up?

I personally think there doing the sensible thing in trying to create there own stars but that doesn't mean I think the show is flawless I think they need a shakeup in the creative team and my views on the commentary team are well documented

So 48,000 viewers is not actually 48,000 viewers??? If that's the case what the hell is the point of the ratings/viewership system if it in no way telling you how many people are tuning in

It's quite strange the spend a month building up the lockdown themed show and lose around 60,000 viewers on the previous week yet claw back the majority of them for a nothing show the next week

It's as if content is unimportant the viewers they've still got will tune in or not if they can be bothered too regardless

Viewership was back up again this week up 48,000 on the lockdown viewership http://411mania.com/wrestling/tna-impact-rating-rebounds-2/

Tna doing there next set of tapings from Orlando with a live broadcast on 15th March http://www.pwmania.com/tna-airing-a-live-impact-wrestling-from-orlando-tapings-updates-talents-waiting-on-pay-checks

Another really enjoyable show this week the spud promo was great ec3 looked like a Star and even the Drew Bennett match was decent

Angle was a very worrying shade of purple the sooner he's retired the better

On the negative the commentary again it's just awful there is really no reason they continue with josh Matthews

It's terrible numbers considering how good the show has been the last few weeks last night show was a cracker from top to bottom tna seem to be on the right track building from within with the likes of Eli drake aswell as the momentum ec3 is building I would hope tna don't hit the panic button and throw money at some has been

Another solid week for impact opener was great Eli drake gets better by the week I can see him being a main event player in the not too distant future

I was dreading the all women lethal lockdown but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I feared

Great to see Jimmy havoc is being given a intriguing storyline on his debut

Main event was a cracking contest ec3 is over huge and the spud heel turn made perfect sense given the history between the two

The one thing I still can't get away with is josh Matthews commentary it's just so bad and yet Mike tenay continues to sit at home being paid absolute madness
