So, is the big TNA announcement that they're moving back to Thursdays? What do you guys think?
More likely the induction of Luger into their roster. Anyway let's see..

Throwing nerf balls at a heavily armored tank is not a war.

As noted earlier, TNA President Dixie Carter announced the following on her Facebook this afternoon:
TNA will make a major announcement during tonights TNA iMPACT! on Spike TV at 8ET/7CT. We strive to deliver what our fans want, and the next step in the evolution of the TNA brand will do just that.
Hulk Hogan is eating his hat with a pinch of salt, brother!

You would think... But the problem is they have had 8 years to build a brand and an idenity and look at where they are now, they have all the guys that were in WWE when they started up and they have built what 3 of their own stars in that time period? This is why there is no war, WWE has proven it can make new stars almost at the drop of the hat, no other promotion in the past 20 years can claim to have made as many stars as WWE.

Hogan: ''You know brother, moving to monday nights brother, was a hell of a ride brother. But you know something brother, Thursday nights is where our home is brother, and Thursday nights is where we belong brother! So were going back to Thursday nights brother, and we're going to run wild on those Thursday nights brother!''
Close enough.
I honestly can't see how they can make moving back to Thursdays, if it happened, sound good.
There's just no way they can do it after all the shit they've flung.
R.C reports that to be the case, and apparently the officials have notified the locker room about the move back to Thursday. Pity we don't have Russo in here actually.

The locker room would hate it. One of the reasons people go to TNA is the ability to work just 2-3 consecutive nights every fortnight.
Yeah, it's pretty much confirmed that they're moving back to Thursdays.

Don't think it'd be moving back to Thursdays, as that is hardly "the next step in the evolution of TNA." Probably live every week or some "name" (No, not Luger) coming in
From PWInsider:
According to a source at SpikeTV, tonight will be the final live Impact on Mondays. The series will return to Thursday broadcasts at 9 PM next week. TNA talent were told within the last hour personally by President Dixie Carter.

Although, IMO, this is an overreaction to last week's rating. Look at Impact's rating on taped weeks compared to live weeks, the difference is DRASTIC.

Obviously Spike.
And why would they keep a show on in that timeslot when the REPLAY does better and it's been on a steady decline in the live slot?

But you also have to realize that, save two weeks or so, they've been going lower and lower.
Is it atleast live on Thursday? Not that it should really make a ratings difference, but more like to indicate Spike's confidence in TNA.
Not sure. It would be better if it was, obviously. Or at least on the one week live one week taped schedule.

True, but still, it's not like RAW's ratings have been impressive either. Even they've dropped in recent weeks.
I'm for the move as a means of building the fanbase back up and possibly improving it. But from the outside looking in it makes TNA look incredashitty
TNA better not try this again until they're pulling 2's at least.

I know TNA being successful and starting a real war would be great for wrestling fans, but they are so fucking terrible that all I can do is "lol" at this point. The only reasons to even rarely tune into TNA is to see what Kurt is up to and maybe the odd wank to Velvet Sky.
Ruien
05-03-2010, 06:24 PM
TNA moving back to Thursdays bites! 3 hours of wrestling each Monday is pretty cool, even if its just being able to laugh at Ric going WOOOOO in a wheel chair. But really, the only thing I look forward to on TNA now is Matt Morgan. Some of the other stuff is okay, but once Matt is off t.v there is no real reason to keep watching (Kurt Angle is taking some time off).
This has to be a swerve, no way it can be legit. How can you even word it to your fans that you got beat so badly in a 2 month span that you have to leave Mondays and go back to crappy Thursdays. This just ended TNA if its true.
BigCrippyZ
05-03-2010, 06:25 PM
Not sure if this is going to help or hurt yet. Part of me says it's a good move and part of me says they're going to come off looking weaker than ever after making such a big deal out of moving to Mondays. I think this may be a loose loose scenario for TNA. It needs to at least be live on Thursday's every other week for them to stand a chance of this being a positive move.
FearedSanctity
05-03-2010, 06:26 PM
Curious to see what the first Impact back on Thursdays rating will be. Higher than the 1.2 they were averaging? Because even on Mondays TNA got a 1.0, the replay was still getting .5-.8, unless for whatever sick reason people were compelled to watch TNA AGAIN

Not many people they got during their Monday night span will keep watching. What new fan is really going to put it in their head to remember Thursdays is Impact night? Most the newer fans have Mondays as wrestling night, they just knew Impact was on because of Raw/
Still trying to figure out how they're going to put a positive spin on this without going into ratings.
Dixie: I was renewing the contract and my hand slipped. I went to check "Monday 8PM timeslot" and marked off "Thursday 9PM timeslot" instead. My bad.

Dixie, I know where you can find the answers to your biggest problems with TNA. No, it's not Lex Luger. No, he's not the next step. He'll do less for you than Hogan did, which lets face it was less than shit. Send me a message, and I'll let you in on the answers to the questions you have about how to fix TNA. I want your company to succeed. I want your company to actually compete with WWE, but so far it's like you're throwing nerf balls at a tank. Not gonna work out like that. You think it's bad now, wait til Hogan gets the itch to ba a part of Wrestlemania again. It will happen...

REALLY? Watching TNA at 8 pm est was awesome on Mondays. It gave me a hour before Raw to enjoy some wrestling and get interested in STORYLINES like WCW once did. Eventually, TNA could have gotten me to be a full fledge fan. I use to be a HUGE WCW fan back in the day.
Since the invasion, I've been stuck with WWE because I've been with the wrestlers, storylines, and the production for years now.
I feel that TNA hasn't given me a chance to become a MONDAY NIGHT FAN. I hate wrestling later in the week.
Thats gay...
Thursday is for drinking as it's the end of the week, not watching men in tights, flopping around in a ring.
This signals the weak confidence that Dixie Carter has.

I was actually willing to give TNA a chance since they had the guts to move to Monday Nights.
I feel they jumped the gun by moving back. You're backtracking now... I also want to say that Ryan Clark is doing shitty reporting lately.
You're opinions are too obvious and it's getting in the way of the editorials. You say TNA is moving back to thursdays and it's a good thing for the company. So after the first year in OKLAHOMA CITY, THE Thunder had a big losing season. Guess they should have moved back to Seattle huh? This year, they went 6 games in the Playoffs vs the Lakers... Good thing they didnt!
TNA has no balls whatsoever... Staying in Universal Studios, Staying on Thursday Nights, staying too late in the night on tv instead of at 8 pm est, it's all hogwash.. It's not the wrestling WWE fans will trade up for so guess TNA will stay #2 for a LONG time..
I expect to see some people rethinking their TNA debuts from the WWE now.
I sure the hell am sticking on USA from now on when it comes to wrestling. And you can rip the spoilers up for TNA cuz I aint interested now.

I'm not gonna take the time to find any instances, if you can't think of any you haven't been paying attention.
No they haven't said they'd put WWE out of business or kill their rating, but the move itself is proof TNA think they're big shit. If they'd have known this decision would have gone the way it has, I promse you they wouldn't have considered it.
TNA, both on screen and through any other means, have always compared themselves to WWE or "other companies/places/whatever term they liked to use" saying how much better they were, always trying find ways to compete with them and taking little digs at them whenever possible.
Meanwhile, WWE doesn't even acknowledge their existence.
TNA went into this thinking they were hot shit and could put a dent in RAW, instead they may have almost gotten themselves canceled. I guarantee you TNA have learned some humility here

Pretty ridiculous considering all the shit they pulled.
Honestly, the Monday Night experiment and the Hogan experiment are pretty much the same thing. They brought in Hogan to gain attention. It didn't work. That's the extent of the "pros" in the Hogan situation. The "cons" are that he's potentially lethal to the lockerroom, and product. That, and he obviously collects a huge paycheck.
If they're going back to Thursdays they should really try to move away from having Hogan all over their product, and try to get out of his contract/minimize his presence.

dixie is very particular about her words i doubt she would use the term 'next evolution of tna' if they were going back a step
She's particular about them because she doesn't want her company to look like it made a big mistake.
She'll most likely word it something like "Our fans want to watch more wrestling, so to give them what we want we're moving to a less crowded night" or some shit like that

you're right she doesn't want the company to look weak, so she wouldn't have used the term 'next evolution' at all, especially when it quite clearly isn't

well I have ate my words. I'll be the first one to admit I thought the move was a great idea, I thought Hogan was a great idea and I thought Bischoff was a great idea. They lost me as a viewer around the 4th episode. Even with guys like Desmond Wolf, Eric Young, AJ, Beer Money, Morgan, who I love to watch, Hogan and the wolfpac and all the crownies just completely turned me off. Hogan and Flair bleeding all over this place, The Nasty Boys horrible matches, Abyss involved in the worst storyline of all-time a lot of other shit just put the nail in the coffin for me.
And I really wanted another wrestling show on Monday night.

Now, I can just DVR Supernatural and watch TNA on Thursdays.
I can get a real glimpse of the GREAT & HUGE arena that TNA currently is featured in.
I can get a glimpse in the BAD ASS LOCATION that they are in, next to the great HULK rollercoaster, and Marilyn Monroe wax statue.
I'm really turning X rated with Beer Money in this return to Thursday Nights in Universal Studios.
I can't wait to better get involved in the storylines and get a piece of the action.
It's awesome to see TNA making the right move.
Thank you Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan for doing this.
You guys really listened to the fans this time. That's 1 FOR THE GOOD GUYS!
WWE... Be Prepared... In about a year from now, with the likes of Ross, Heyman, and others, we will be back on Mondays, traveling across the country, destroying your ratings, and blowing ours through the roof.
Until then, enjoy being on top. We'll be on Thursday because you kicked our ass in Round 1 and we got scared!

Should be pretty even actually... not sure what Superstars is doing now, but I recall at one point they were pulling like a .6 or .7. Impact was doing a .8 when it was on Thursday, so hopefully it's pretty even. Maybe they can compete with WWE's least viewed wrestling show on a weeknight.
