Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

I'm sure if somebody can be arsed they can provide a LONG list of everything TNA has ruined.

 

Yup.

 

(there's one for WWE too)

[Doctor Whos Next]

I'm a big WWE Fan, but I never watch Smackdown or Raw - I can't justify Sky Sports for two programmes and a dwindling percentage of pay per views

 

I catch up with the highlights on the web, and I watch pay per views at my brothers (I'm not that tight, I bring the beers and go halvsies when its a Box Office one). Rest assured when WWE Network comes out here, I'll be all over that too.

 

But, I was dead chuffed when TNA was announced for Challenge. Wrestling on free TV? Hogan on the roster? What can possibly go wrong. Everything, apparently.

 

I've spent most of the last five months watching TNA out of habit, more than a desire to see storylines resolved, but the WWE Lite angle they've been pushing has just turned me off completely.

 

Sad.

By the way, If ever a pic could become an internet meme, this is it.

On the PWS note, they seem to do well. I've seen a few photo's of their shows online and they always look busy, iirc.

Looks like you'd find more people at a Virgil signing than at a TNA show these days.

Northeast Wrestling always seem to do good numbers too.

Can you believe this man was in a headline match at WrestleMania a few years back? Gunner thought this outdoor show was 'a bit like WrestleMania' so perhaps Bobby was feeling nostalgic.

More Lonley Joe.

 

That guy in the second tier looks like he's been added in MS Paint.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Look closely. Its Bad News Barrett. Not my work.

[Psygnosis]

Its a BNB joke I think.

Thats so depressing, when an indie show is drawing more than a supposedly top promotion. I know the crowd attendance Spike really dont give a shit about if the ratings are steady but surely they could just buy or partner another indie promotion that gets good crowds and put the budget into making them look bigger and better and stop wasting there time with Toilet Show TNA

[Psygnosis]

So the official paid attendance here was 74, yup 74, two digits, seven-four.

[Chest Rockwell]

Wow. I had no idea it had gotten this bad.

 

You gotta really feel for the wrestlers having to wrestle in such a dead atmosphere.. not that they haven't all done it before on their way up anyway, but still.

[Ladiesman345]

How can a wrestling show shown around the USA every week have such bad attendance? ICW can get 1200 practically with just word of mouth, in a country of five and a half million. It's mental.
