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

What timeframe are the next tapings? How far up did they get to in the end because they filmed a heap of stuff last month for all sorts.

At a guess (and quick glance of what's coming) I'd say they have about 3-4 weeks of episodes left. I couldn't find any details of March's scheduled tapings so don't know if March 2nd will be live or not.

Eddie Edwards was fucking dire on this weeks Impact, absolutely awful.

 

 

In what way?

[Guest]

Do they have anything planned for when the year's largest concentration of wrestling fans will be right on their doorstep?

[iMPACt!]

I was at Mania in 2008 and went to an Impact taping. They didn't do anything other than send a truck with a video of TNA on the side of it to the hotel we were at to advertise the brand. The queues were huge as it was first come first served. We queued for five hours to ensure we got in as it was a rare opportunity to see Sting and TNA had far more respect as an upcoming alternate show in those days. Can't see there being the same interest this time!

[PowerButchi]

Was that the one where they showed the McAllister there in the crowd (although granted, he was an idiot for going) like a bunch of dicks.

Yeah, I always remember powerslam at the time saying they had enough people queuing to fill an arena and should've done a one off. Sure some people on here can back that up too. It wasn't like now where we try to block certain things happening either

With tens of thousands of wrestling fans in town, i'm sure they could fill some kind of venue. Dixie's gone and TNA's rep isn't quite as bad as it was last year, for example.

I know they're in a state of flux, but they should probably get a wriggle on and announce anything they intend on doing, as there'll be lots of other stuff going on nearby and people want to make their plans.

[scotswizard]

Are there no large outdoor areas they could do a show or even pay a large high school or University to use their football fields and their seating and set that up for wrestling? They could do their own catering too and make a lot of money on the ticket sales.

[Merzbow]

I'm hoping that's a joke based on this good old bit of lolTNA.

 

[scotswizard]

If there are thousands of WWE fans already in the area they could sell thousands of tickets. People are already in the  area wanting to see wrestling anyway.

Seeing as hardly anyone (other than over here) has ever paid to see TNA in it's 15 year existence, I doubt suddenly thousands would be willing to do so- at a point where the brand has never been lower.

[Tommy!]

Even their biggest fan won't pay to see them, what hope do you have from a people comparing it to WrestleMania.

Their biggest fan pirates the shows.
