Maybe TLP will only go for an hour now instead of 5.

Maybe they could bring the whole operation over to the UK?

Challenge is free and available to pretty much every home in the UK.
RAW is on an expensive additional channel. Never sure why someone like ITV2, BBC3 or E4 didn't look at TNA. Would have done quite well on one of those. |

They've built a decent following over here and get decent ratings. I'm not sure how long the deal with Challenge is but they could probably get some interest from Channel 4 or 5. Maybe ITV2 or E4. |

On Challenge they don't have a big enough market to support the company. Hypothetically, had they spent a few years on a mainstream channel, and got the right luck and promotion, I could see there being enough of a market to look at the possibility of being based here. Although a lot would have had to have gone right with them for that to have happened, and no chance now. And it's all moot as they'll be dead soon anyway. |

TNA had no hope of getting on those other channels. On Challenge it has to compete with this:
http://bullseyecontestants.tumblr.com I wonder if it gets more viewers than an episode of Wheel of Fortune from 1992 because that's generally what's on when I go past Challenge. |

Rockstar Spud is the one guy I want to see go to the WWE. He was the best talker on WWE by a long shot. EC3 should go over with him but I don't think WWE will take him seriously again.

The problem with Spud is that name would never make it in the WWE. So then they bring in him as Reginald barringston Cobblesworth and make him a lackey and it could work but the character would be different.
But Id be ok with Spud rehashing his limey lackey gimmick in the WWE working for HHH |

TNA can't afford to pay attention right now, let alone pay the whole roster and the crew to fly to England on a regular basis and run houseshows and TV from there. And besides, Challenge's money isn't going to be enough to keep them alive.

I realize that went off-the-rails but, FFS, who the fuck compares a shit wrestling organization and show to an awesome classic game show, and in a Wrestling Forum thread no less?!

On the upside maybe he could pull a The Brian Kendrick and wind up on TPiR, as did Vanna back in '80, and oh fuck I'm still several degrees away from Kevin Bacon.

TNA needs to just pick a home and just broadcast from there. Florida is not the best place for them. They need to go in the Northeast where they can generate a BIG fan base. Like an ECW for the 21st century. If they market it right it could be a rebirth of the Attitude era. They just need better writing and guys that will help the wrestlers in their presentation .

Is there any source for this other than TMZ? I don't really trust them fully to be honest.

TMZ are dicks a lot of the time, but they are pretty much spot on for the most part. At least from what I've seen of them, anyways.
