he was with her at one point, but she's not involved in this

[cobystag]

They are divorcing.

[Hounds Of Justice]

Yeah it was someone called Ashley Allen involved in the incident.

[GlennCullen]

Sounds like Bad News to me.

Aparently some big announcements due regarding TV and someone who has previously worked for tna is due back. My money's on bischoff in charge and tna moving to WGN

[WyattSheepMask]

You'd be better putting your money on Johnny Fairplay coming back

Dixie Carter's decided TV is now irrelevent so TNA is expanding massively into a YouTube exclusive promotion. And Sharkboy is back.

You joke of course, but could a YouTube promotion work in some form? I'm sure with enough views if you had advert placement you get cash (hence all these YouTube stars making money), add in some in show sponsorship like they used to do with the canvas and so on.

 

I know they'd make nowhere near the level of money they are now, but if they did downsize considerably, would it still be a somewhat profitable venture?

[IANdrewDiceClay]

If they cant afford to pay the production staff and the wrestlers now, they'd have no chance if they were taping shows for broadcast on youtube.

Rumours doing the rounds today that Hogan is on his way back to TNA because WWE have no interest in him anymore. I thought TNA distanced themselves from Hogan too? If this is true, anyone would think they didn't know what they were doing

Nope, at least not at the level they operate. Videos with match footage on their youtube look to be in the 70-100,000 views range and thats with them being on tv. Get rid of the tv and advertising and that number could easily half. Average youtube payout is $2-3 per 1000 views unless they are getting special partnership deals. It wouldn't even pay for the venue.

[UK Kat Von D]

YouTube money would be a nice little bonus if they were already making money at the gate with profitable shows. It would also be fine as a stopgap between stations to keep interest levels up or play with new ideas.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

TNA only have shows up to the 30th scheduled to air and they havent taped anything else. There is quite a massive chance Bound For Glory might be it for them. Unless something happens soon, of course. It better had.

Is it wrong that I really hope they do go under? After years of missed opportunities and all round nincompoopery and the last couple of years of being pretty much on life support, I just hope it's finally put out of it's misery
