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

I want, nay INSIST, on a breakdown on these 18million viewers each week.

[SpursRiot2012]

1 viewer is wrestleuk. The rest is wrestleuk watching online with over 17m tabs open on Chrome.

[PowerButchi]

Illegally streaming it too.

[pryko]

I doubt there are even 18 million people in the world who know what TNA is, nevermind actually watch it

[Guest]

Isn't India Mad for having loads of viewers, but means fuck all , ie 20 million but, that's equivelent of 20 folk in uk? So may not be that far out

[the_mole]

North Koreans are made to watch it to show how the west is evil, that's your 18 million there, then it moves on to whatever else they put out.

 

I have no proof of this but I doubt there is any proof to prove me wrong.

[Big Benny HG]

If TNA went out of business, would ROH be viewed the second biggest wrestling company after WWE?

No, there's at least CMLL, AAA and NJPW ahead of ROH in that regard. CMLL and AAA are bigger than TNA.

 

EDIT: 18 million!!!

At first I thought it might be some WWF bullshit from the 90's when they said they were in half a billion homes every week, which basically meant half a billion people could watch the show if they wanted, it was just most chose not too.

 

TNA are in a lot more than 18 mill homes though, 60 million I think in the US, it's just most choose not to watch.

[Philjax]

Anyone got a youtube or dailymotion link to a HD or near version of the PPV? It's not on watchwrestling, unless they've moved to a new site.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Slammiversary you mean? Its on there.

The Impact on POP commercial has surfaced on You Tube. Never seen it before.

Billy Corgan is either close to or has come on board as a new minority owner in the company

Homer Simpson, smiling politely.

 

That's finally happened then. Billy Corgan as an on air wrestling authority figure flanked by the Harris Boys is a realistic enough hypothetical, isn't it. What a mental stable that would be. Maybe they'll crowdfund aspects of the production in exchange for bits of creative power. Turn the whole thing into the interactive nuclear winter it so clearly deserves to be.

 

 

They're a good fit these days, both fans of fascists.

 

Oh, and insert joke about "minority owner",

Does Raw even get 18 million viewers worldwide?

 

Genuine question.

Had to bang him into Wiki for that. Bloody hell. I always assumed he was a proper zen garden in the vein of Bjork and Moby. Not that that means you can't have conservative views but yeah. Anyone into their Alex Jones is a complete moron.

 

I was just running my fantasy angle off the whole y'know... baldness thing.

That Impact on POP commercial is 90s as fuck. It looks taped on a VHS
