The WWE / TNA Wrestling Thread

Aye, SD crowds have sucked for quite some time now. So much so that they've resorted to piping cheers and boos through the sound system to fit the wrestler making his/her entrance accordingly.

Raw has the occasional great crowd, but its still only really Cena and Punk that get better than average pops on there most weeks.

 

the good thing about tna is that its free admission at the impact zone wether it b ppv or impact

 

Good for fans but not for business, they need to expand.

 

The company that owns them is Panda Energy or something of the sort and they're oil rich. I think that's what's keeping them in business, as they never do that well on PPV buys and obviously, they don't make money from fans entering the arena.

 

i have a feeling if panda energy pull out vince will try to buy them

 

It would make sense for Vince to do what he did with WCW in 2001 and buy them out, whilst taking all of their talent as his own. It would pave the way for the return of people such as Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy, not to mention the likes of AJ Styles, Sting and the rest.

 

Cant see Panda Energy pulling out any time soon as thats Dixie Carters dads company, they really should start trying to make a lot of money though, which i think getting a better TV deal over here and broadcasting PPVS over here would be a good idea, but i doubt they would get on Sky due to there deal with WWE.

 

Is it sad that I'm going to Orlando next September and my first thought was 'Impact Zone' ?

 

i went in 2008 when i was over :icon_mrgreen:

* man..

 

They are actually "on" Sky because Sky owns Challenge, but agreed they are probably never going to get on the main Sky stations because of their lengthy relationship with WWE, best for TNA in the UK would be if they could get a deal with somebody like Channel 5.

 

That would probably be my first thought too, in all honesty. I wouldn't mind seeing a TNA taping live. I've not been watching it recently, but from what I've read online, the PPV that they just done there is the best they've pulled off in their entire ten year history.

I know Aries is the new World Champion, but apparently, Impact is currently putting on a wrestling product miles ahead of WWE right now and more and more people are tuning in, especially after the awful episode of Raw this past week.

 

What night is TNA on? Used to watch it earlier in the year but got Sky in my room and got back into WWE.

Any rumours on Undertaker for Raw 1000?

 

Sunday nights, 9pm on Challenge .

The rumour has it he will be at Raw. Vince wants all the big stars at it so you can guarantee Taker will be there.

 

Good times. Cheers shall start recording TNA. Is it still a 2 hour show aye?

 

I really hope Vince pulls out ALL the stops for the 1000th episode in two weeks. I remember watching the 900th episode live a couple of years ago and it was an absolute disgrace of a show. If I remember correctly, it was only a promo by CM Punk (then a member of the SES) that saved it.

By ALL the stops, I mean everyone who has played a part in helping Raw get to where it is today. Not just the big main event names like Lesnar, Austin and Rock, but the lesser known midcard guys too. It would be good seeing faces such as The Godfather and Rikishi back, for example, even in short backstage segments. Rikishi was actually one of the biggest stars in the WWF for a short time.

 

Rikishi and Godfather doing something with Brodus Clay would be excellent

 

Rikishi's theme song was one of my favourites back in the day:

Such a catchy tune

 

"I DID IT FOR DA ROCK, I DID FOR DA PEOPLE, I DID IT...." "SHUT YOU'RE MOUTH YOU THONG WEARING FATTING!"

 

Is anyone else getting bored of Brodus?
