Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted November 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hopefully it's just that TNA has been replaced by a clock.    WGN is a weird one, really — they have cornered the market on using telephone booths to advertise all of their syndicated comedy reruns, which make up the bulk of what's on the network. For a relatively notable channel, it's stuck way up the dial (on Time Warner Cable, anyway), so I forget it's even there, although I was watching old episodes of 30 Rock on there recently.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted November 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 19, 2015 Â Hopefully it's just that TNA has been replaced by a clock.7 o'clock walks out. "WE KNOW WHO THAT IS!"Â Â More like 7 o'clock having been its WWE name, and it's debuting on TNA as 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestleuk Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 WGN have had a few hits recently most notably Manhattan which is pulling in 2m there's no doubt about it they will want better viewing figures than the nunbers on DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 19, 2015 When the countdown expires, Tito Ortiz is going to walk out on the home page and fold his arms. Mr Anderson will clear his ears out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 With their track record, the countdown is probably for an announcement that there will be an announcement next week.

JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I just don't genuinely think that there is a market out there for 2 competing brands to make money or enough of a  fan-base for TNA to mount anything resembling a competition to WWE.  Just think in 10 years TNA has had massive stars working for them:  Hogan Sting Booker T Angle Jeff hardy Dudley Boys RVD Hall Nash Foley Flair  all BIG names in the industry and the ratings were still pretty static. This just shows that TNA had grasped the remaining market share of fans and there was nothing left.   There are a number of things that stop TNA from being a legit threat  1. TNA doesn't have the money that WCW had in the mid 90's to literally throw silly money at everyone and everything to buy success. 2. This is the internet age and the world is a different place than when WWE had legit competition 3. Saturation. This is 20 years on and 20 years + more footage that is available. Nothing is new or fresh, + the attitude era has been done. 4. WWE(F) is a GLOBAL brand, far bigger than it was when WCW was able to land punches on it. It is slick as hell, and has massive sponsors, unparalleled production values and is a supremely oiled machine. Anything that comes up against it will by default look inferior.  and the biggest one:  it is a mess. They're repeatedly done stupid things. For every great thing they have done they've done 3 bad:  wasted money upset talent put out rotten TV Allowed performers to go out in no fit state ( 'high' Hard or 'drunk' Hall) wrote nonsensical plots  and just churned out dross.  In short i think they're lucky they have managed to get the ratings they have. The even sadder thing is that i was a fan. After WCW folded i needed my Sting and nWo fix but there was so much that even i could endure.  Constantly rebooting as well has just created total apathy as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted November 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 19, 2015 Seems TNA is reaching out to Goldberg as well. Seems to be appearing in a new movie with Bram and they want to promote it for him. Wouldn't be surprised if the announcement was TNA signing with WGN but that they've signed Goldberg as well. Pretty sure that could probably bring Angle back for a one off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also love to hear the knock-off theme TNA would come up with for Goldberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted November 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 19, 2015 I can't remember it ever really happening. Angle was feuding with Guerrero when Goldberg left after facing Brock and they rarely did cross brand promotions. So its possible it'd be a first time ever.

Powerful_Fox Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Just to add to JRPO's list... Â Also keep in mind that there has never been a longer period that a megastar has not been developed outside of WWE, due to that length of time they have been without any real competition there is also therefore no-one TNA can capitalise on. Your Sting's, Flair's, Goldberg's etc. They aren't big enough now to develop their own megastar to get the mainstream interest and they also aren't able to "steal" anyone (of considerable note) from WWE. The window of opportunity to be an actual threat closed long, long ago. Â The only way anyone could ever be even closely considered as a competitor to WWE now is they have a boat load of money, TV connections already in place and have awesome timing in terms of being able to take established, big name, talent, we are talking A-list talent too. They finally need a product that is half-decent. TNA don't check a single box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
