King Pitcos Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A brilliant point in today's Observer update: Â For however much you may want to fault TNA for not having exclusivity, remember that United Talent Agency negotiated the deal for them. Hilarious. Imagine taking 15% of the deal and not even negotiating exclusivity. Â Â Â Up until today, though, we'd never have thought they'd need it.

Buzz Lightyear Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I took it to mean "I give up" or "I quit". Ah. Â He was always going to end up working for Jeff anyway. Â Seen on update on the Conference Call, basically Dixie said nothing about TV future, ROH and just rambled on. Still waiting for another report though.

Vegeta Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Wow congrats ROH I have watched them quite religiously for the last year and really enjoyed their stuff and felt they deserved more, haven't watched TNA in like 2 years or so the last I saw of it, it didn't make much sense. But brilliant news for ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted May 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 It's funny but a little confusing. Weren't DA cancelling TNA because they find it hard to sell ad time around wrestling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 27, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 Unlike TNA, ROH is owned by a broadcasting company who ships them out to channels in markets all over the States. So ROH tapes shows whether they are on national TV or not. So they dont live or die by the rights fees. TNA do. My theory is that DA likes the audience wrestling brings in but hates the idea of paying TNA to actually survive to provide that programming. ROH on the other hand just hands in the tapes of their regular show to Destination America. If Destination America boots ROH off tomorrow, ROH just goes back to the same business model it always has. If TNA loses Destination America, they're probably fucked. Â Its crazy, ROH sells tickets to their tapings and makes good on the door, they have a deal to produce action figures and their PPVs do the same as TNA's did when they were on Spike. Its quite amazing how poorly run TNA is by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted May 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 It's funny but a little confusing. Weren't DA cancelling TNA because they find it hard to sell ad time around wrestling? Â Yep, Â but it sounds like they think it may just be Impact rather than wrestling that is putting off the advertisers. Even if that isn't the case, they can pay a lot less for ROH because it's a show that's already been produced, rather than with Impact where the DA money has to cover all the costs.

undercover elephant Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 A blatant fuck you Dixie from Destination America! Â Stunned at the sudden news which was reported to have been signed Wednesday morning, and DA contacted ROH on this deal. Â The Somoa Joe deal, depending on what deal Joe actually signed with WWE is unknown as far as I'm aware. He's still taking bookings with ROH as well. Did Vince get any sniff that this deal was going down for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted May 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2015 Dixie will 100% spin this somehow so that it appears great for TNA. Â I can see it now. With both companies having fans' eyes on the channel on the same night there is a chance for people to check them out that wouldn't have previously, possibly catch new viewers.
