TNA Wrestling on Bravo (Part 3)

Given that Jericho doesn't like Bischoff or Hogan or Russo, I'd be a little surprised.



10-10-10 = X-X-X

"They" are Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper and...someone to replace Low Ki.
 
Foley missed the table lol. I haven't watched the Bravo broadcast yet but i'm hoping nothing was cut out from it. It was the highest rated segment on Thursday getting 1.44 million viewers. The Knockouts was second highest with 1.40.

I doubt Hogan will be there tomorrow. He has admitted himself back into hospital due to being in pain.

This clip of Ric Flair from Reaction is hilarious. Look at his tongue lol.

If the buy rate for the PPV is not way up as well, that tells me that fans despite being into the Storyline did not care that much about the match itself.

Yes Lance because this is 2010. No one cares about 30 minutes wrestling matches anymore, that's why your not employed on mainstream wrestling anymore.
 
I hate and like Don West at the same time. I'm thinking about ordering that package.

Problem is, he's over-sold with that Ric Flair sig. It's not really rare, because I've got one. ;)



Hogan said he'd never work with Angle?!



The bloke would have been in to let us know, wouldn't he? But, I watched it from a D/L. Honestly, after Angle/Hardy, I was wondering if the PPV was just gonna shut off. (You'll see what I mean when you get to see it. ;) )
 
TNA should go live every week, that would be an obvious move to make IMO. I understand there are costs involved, but I think it's worth it.

Plus, it's only money they'd waste on producing Dixie Carter t-shirts, RAB.
 
Oooo, you bitch. :p



Pro-Wrestling isn't real, and not only are you alienating the talent, you're also alienating the current generation of wrestling fans tuning in.

Change anything by making it more 'real' and you're gonna have a bad time getting those viewers to turn back on.

I would like to see more fights like Angle and Joe, or more the build-up like that match had. But lot LOARAB more. Maybe two or three seriously heated rivalries a year that would make people watch on the end of their seat, as they thought it was legit.



Even to do what Joe and Angle did, which wasn't necessarily a shoot-fight, with pulled punches and a determined result, mixed with the likes of Motor City and their style of wrestling, it's a winning formula.
 
Outstanding ratings?!

93k with the odd spike over 100k but mostly hovering around the 80s and not even consistently in the Bravo top 10's

The live midnight showing of RAW gets more than that and the 2 SmackDown showings get nearly 200k combined

I can't see Sky bothering with it, not when the WWE deal is worth so much more in terms of profile and investment.

I would say even ESPN wouldn't punt at this because no-ones going to pay the sub for TNA

Sky don't have to honour any contract, they only hold the rights, they can just not show it or make it a web only affair which is a possibility

I imagine the buy-out clause will be fairly low on the deal too, as for exclusivity, I think thats on the part of Sky as opposed to the WWE
 
Makes no difference. All women like beaches, and all the ones I know like sea shells.That was what did for him.

My b*tches are pure, yo. I don' need no Hoganized ho's crampin' my style. Brooke would definitely feel my pimp-hand if she ever wanted it, though. Luckily, she gets her looks from her slightly-paedophilic Ma, who genuinely neeRAB a slap to the jaw.
 
Wow. Typical Russo finish. What an utter load of crap that is. Whoever came up with, authorised and carried that out should be shot.

I'm sick of this company treating us like we're idiots. The referee's can blatantly see each other! I'm genuinely tired of this idiotic bullsh*t. Might give up on this thing altogether...
 
Sky are in the process of being bought out completely by News Corp., FYI. FX are owned by FOX International, who are owned by News Corp.

FX show a LOT of FOX stuff. Granted, there's a few CBS programmes on there also, etc, but the fact remains.



There'd be a problem with the UFC coverage, give Five and ESPN have it, but the rest should be alright to come over. All they need is a bit of the programming from Bravo, like the car-chases and all that, and that's it.

I particularly want the VGA's. Spike has a LOT for Video Gaming, something we miss a great deal over here. (Just as a side-note, the only Gaming Show available to Sky and Virgin is on Bravo, so that's going as well.)



I think it's in the Guardian article, but the thing is, unless they want to be scrambling around, last minute, like they did with the PPV's, they need to start sorting it out NOW.



No. TNA give it directly to BT, whereas TNA give their programme to RDA who give it to Bravo.

If anything, TNA could learn something from the BT deal, and get it on an On Demand platform, along with possibly the Xbox Live Marketplace (they already do this in America) and PSN.



I don't remember this new guy saying anything about TNA. Someone neeRAB to link me up for this.



Sure it is. FX is available on every platform Bravo is available on, as far as I know. The only downside, is that FX is more highly regarded by the negotiators compared to Bravo. It's on the XL package for Virgin.

I just don't see FX as an attractive proposition for TNA. FX is drama from beginning to end, then some softcore porn mixed in. TNA is a pre-determined, poorly written cartoon compared to the likes of the X-Files, Buffy, NCIS, etc. Nothing sporty is shown on there. Nothing athletic. Nothing even with a live-feel to it. It's not larger-than-life. It's more Sci-fi than anything, aside from stuff like To Catch a Predator.

On the flip-side of the coin, Sky's higher ups could easily be in touch with a channel like FX to get it a deal, if they so cared. But I predict a pay-off from Sky to get out of the contract early, and for TNA to scramble about, in true TNA-cowboy fashion, looking for someone to air their programme. It'll be a little easier this time, compared to when it was on Bravo2 years ago, though. Just listing people on the roster is enough.

I'd like to think that maybe a TV deal on FX would make them look a little more serious in the writing dept., but I doubt it would. Not only do FX not have a say in how TNA is written, but Russo is so far up Dixie's hoo-hoo that if a TV network was to say something about the writing, she'd probably tell them to naff off and continue with the current cartoon-writers currently at the helm.
 
justin you should stay away from internet forums full stop,there just full of negative vibes anyway

trust me you enjoy what you like alot more when you dont log on to see a 17yo ROH fan slating what you have just seen

"omg why turn a face heel...WHYYYYYYYYYYY,i should be booker,its still real to me dammit" etc,its laughable

i come on now maybe to praise a show or ppv,but dont hang around for peoples opinions as they have no clue what creativity is anywhoo

just my opinion....
