War's Over?
 
So, is the big TNA announcement that they're moving back to Thursdays? What do you guys think?

VSG 05-03-2010 06:47 PM

More likely the induction of Luger into their roster. Anyway let's see..

BigDaddyCool 05-03-2010 06:48 PM

lol, that would be hilarious. Also for there to be a war, WWE would need to acknowledge something is happening.

Xero 05-03-2010 06:49 PM

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

FourFifty 05-03-2010 06:50 PM

What war? Did I forget the last six months of my life, AGAIN?!?!?!?

Lol. I actually pictured EB and Hogan throwing nerf balls at Vince in a tank, while he just laughs at them. Nice. :rofl:

kareru 05-03-2010 06:53 PM

heyman?

Xero 05-03-2010 06:53 PM

It's Luger. Lex Luger.

No, but I bet Hogan, Eric and Dixie wish they could forget the last 6 months.

BigDaddyCool 05-03-2010 06:55 PM

I bet they wish they could forgot a majority of TNA history.

VSG 05-03-2010 06:57 PM

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!

screech 05-03-2010 06:57 PM

Can't say I'm really surprised.

Xero 05-03-2010 06:57 PM

"So, what did you do for the last few months?"

Bischoff: I bought a new yacht and started a midget wrestling promotion!

Hogan: I bought Nick a new car and a week's supply of tanning spray!

Dixie: I own TNA.... :$

St. Jimmy 05-03-2010 06:58 PM

You'd think if you started your promotion with Ken Shamrock as your first champion you could go nowhere but up.

And as our good friend Mr. Brown looks at Dixie, he looks at his rock and says to himself "Charlie, things aren't so bad."

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.

BigCrippyZ 05-03-2010 07:07 PM

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.

Xero 05-03-2010 07:08 PM

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.

VSG 05-03-2010 07:10 PM

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.

kareru 05-03-2010 07:11 PM

perhaps the announcement is that they are going live every week

screech 05-03-2010 07:12 PM

Carter is selling the promotion to McMahon.

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.

Xero 05-03-2010 07:14 PM

Yeah, it's pretty much confirmed that they're moving back to Thursdays.

LOL. Epic fail.

Mr. JL 05-03-2010 07:15 PM

Lame

FearedSanctity 05-03-2010 07:16 PM

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

Xero 05-03-2010 07:16 PM

.5 don't lie.

Xero 05-03-2010 07:16 PM

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.

ClockShot 05-03-2010 07:16 PM

So the experiment failed.

Now we play "How long until Spike TV cancels TNA altogether?"

FearedSanctity 05-03-2010 07:16 PM

Yep, just read a report and Xero's post, DISREGARD PREVIOUS POST PLZ

The Franchise 05-03-2010 07:18 PM

What, already? Why? They should at least try until the summer since WWE has only recently entered into their "down period." Is this TNA's choice or is Spike making them move back?

Xero 05-03-2010 07:18 PM

Isn't this the definition of regression and not evolution? lol

FearedSanctity 05-03-2010 07:18 PM

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.

VSG 05-03-2010 07:21 PM

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.

Xero 05-03-2010 07:22 PM

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

Xero 05-03-2010 07:23 PM

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.
