TNA is getting mad money
 

Morphoplex, TNA's main sponsor, is currently paying $200,000 a month to sponsor their shows. YEAH BABY!!! The company keeps growing. Last year they were paying $30,000 per week for a tv show. Now they don't have to pay a dime for tv and getting $200,000 per month from a sponsor. That's a big step up. Don't forget their DVD's is selling out in stores. The ratings might not be great but everything else is looking positive.

What's it a step up from? What were the previous figures? Do you have a link to an actual report on either?

Good news for TNA.

That one ex-football player who is in those adds sounds exactly like Hulk Hogan. EXACTLY

I got it from "GERWECK.net" that got it from the "WRESTLING OBSERVER".

In 2004, TNA did weekly ppvs that cost alot of money and was losing money. They paid FSN $30,000 per week(or month,forgot) for a bad timeslot.

In 2005, have a free tv show on Spike in a better slot. The ratings is much better compare to FSN ratings. Video game deal with a major video game company. DVD's in major retails and selling well, I think they had 3 dvds in the top 25 on Billboards,one in the top 10. Morphoplex paying them $200,000 per month. It seems like a step up too me.

Well, of course, it's definitely good news for TNA and it is a step up. However, that doesn't automatically mean TNA is on the green, they still need to get their shit together.

They almost there which is good news considering TNA past debt.

Not green money wise...I mean, the company as a whole being on the green and successful.

Hopefully with Christian, there will be more talking segments in the ring, and better storylines. WWE overdoes it, but you still need to have the talking and entertainment factor...I haven't read the spoilers...but from the past few weeks TNA was lacking that. It was mostly all wrestling with little talking...just guy in tights A vs. guy in tights B...and supposedly the casual fan was supposed to get into it.

Didn't find anything on it in the Wrestling Observer. Good job at backing up your sources.

It's good news if it's true, despite their shit ratings, but I'd like some real evidence.

Well I gotta be honest, actual wrestling is second to me. The first thing I like is the entertainment factor. I loved backstage segments, I loved Christian on the mic. They told a story.

When TNA says 'Less Talking, More Action' It's actually putting me off TNA.

As far as the $200,000 a month goes, you can get that off of TNAWrestlingNews.com which I have found over recent months to be quite reliable.

As for the money issue, yeah they are in a much better possition then they were a year ago, but that isn't saying much. A little over a year ago the were dangerously close to shutting down. This is fairly common knowledge. The deal with FSN was shakey and their buyrates where terrible. Now, does this mean they have made a step in the right direction? Yes. But let's not all think Monday Night War pt. 2 is coming because of it. Had they NOT made a step in the right direction they would be gone right now. I hope they continue to move forward and progress. I believe in Dixie Carter alot. She is actually quite smart and isn't listening to a lot of the fucking dipshits. On the business side of things she is doing things just right. Like I said here's hoping they continue to have furthering success. I say this as someone who has watched their program from the very first show over three years ago on their shitty weekly PPV slot. I love TNA, but don't start making it out to be mroe then what it is.

Good. I'm happy for them. :)

But there ratings still suck, which cannot penetrate through your tiny TNA fanboy mind.

Oh and by the by, morphoplex is their MAIN sponser, meaning they pay the most. And we know that Panda Energy is still somewhere in there. So let's say they both pay out $200,000 a month. That's $400,000 a month total. After costs of paying for talent, air travel, etc....that's not exactly what I would call "mad money"...more...barley being able to pay of JUST the wrestling talent.

I think TNA really need more time to run their shows. I think two hours a week, at least. You can't really have solid storylines built-up, and have good matches, and showcase a lot of your talent on the same card.

I think TNA needs to actually make storylines that have some logic behind them before we give them more time to develop storylines. Hell I love the attitude of "Wrestling Comes First" but a good match with a purpose is nothing better then a good build up without a match...(please see: I Still Remember)

You need some dinner before you get desert. The in ring stuff that TNA is doing has been alot of candy, but we have nothing else. Clusterfucks of run ins...Jarrett having half the roster swinging from his nuts, no real clear cut heel or face (other then Styles and Jarrett), and all too predictable match outcomes. And don't even get me started on the fact that TNA's storylines lead abso-fucking-lutly nowhere.

I agree with everything The One said. I would want nothing more than TNA surviving to become the biggest company out there since WCW...and Dixie is definitely not a moron. She's taking things quite nice and slow.

Also, their video game .. when its out...should bring in great revenue for them.

I'm just hoping they will end up in a better timeslot. I caught TNA on Spike for the first time last weekend and things definitely have improved from the last time I watched them. I still could not make heads or tails of who was face/heel and why certain things were happening even though I try to read up on what is going on through TPWW. I agree with One, a clear direction seems to be needed and stories need to created to make reasons to have the matches.

More money = more Christians

:y:

I said Jonny watcha doing tonite
He looked at me with a faceful of fright
I said how 'bout, a Revolutionnnnnnn
and he said right

Wait...is TNA fulls of Jews right now? :shifty:

Thanks for doing what Godson was incapable of doing.

And yeah, "Not about todie," not saying much,.

people on here just love chugging down that haterade don't they? TNA has been on tv for all of what? two months now? and everybody expects them to be fucking perfect! Whats all this stuff about shit ratings? I thought Spike was happy with the ratings they'd been getting? Especially considering the timeslot.

Everyone complains about how stale the WWE is and then when something different comes along you all tear it down. How about supporting TNA and waiting and seeing if they get their shit together instead of being so fucking negative

I agree totally. TNA offers something different (i.e. good wrestling matches) and then all of a sudden WWE is "amazing" and TNA sucks and TNA should be more like WWE. :nono:

Slow down, skippy.

1. TNA's been on longer than two months. I seem to recall them having another TV deal...

2. Shit ratings. Their last show was an all-time low for them, after what was considered a "failure" on their prime time special(Anything lower than 1 was going to be considered a failure). Naw. Those aren't bad ratings, and Spike's happy with their direction.

3. I supported TNA when it was doing weekly PPVs. I watched it on FSN, I watched it on Spike. I'm yet to see the step up their game. They're not really stepping up, and while it's too early to tell whether the ratings are a trend, it's not indicitive of success.

4. When something different is also stale, reminiscent of a watered-down WCW, and actually tedious to watch, people are going to complain. We want a fucking alternative to the WWE, and if TNA can't actually provide something quality enough to be considered an alternative, they deserve to go down.

Take off the rose colored glasses. The reason people are complaining is that they've been giving TNA a chance since its inception, and they have been let down time and time and time again.

:lol:

Sad that you had to pull that "amazing" line out of your ass.

They offer something different. Yeah, vanilla spotfests and shite booking. We've never seen either of thos things before. :)

The only people that have been "let down" are the morons like you who want every fed to be a copy of WWE. "TNA needs more storylines because WWE does it, TNA needs more gimmicks etc. "
Jesus, why can't TNA do something different? What about fans thatdon't want storylines, they want to see good, fast paced wrestling matches, TNA is for those fans.
If you're not one of those fans, then fuck off and watch Cena win the raw main event every week in some sort of 2/3 on 1 situation.

If I want every federation to be like the WWE, why am I not watching Raw? Before you made up this fantasy tale you tell yourself, did it occur to you that someone might actually not enjoy the TNA product on its own merits, rather than because they're comparing it to a subpar product?

God, it must be hard to make up fairy tales everytime something doesn't go your way. Poor baby.

You start bashing TNA every chance you get as if it gives you some sort of joy however not once have I seen you talk shit about WWE. Maybe you do but I certainly don't see it in these threads.
You're pratically defending WWE everytime there's a WWE/TNA thread.

Stop defending a product you don't even watch old man.

:eek: TNA in anti-semetic shocker! :eek:

LOL I'm practically defending. :roll:

You are sad beyond words, little boy.

Keep in mind, you're almost always the one who brings up the TNA/WWE comparison. You're the one who always asks the question "And John Cena/the WWE is better?" It's pretty much the only way to guarantee the WWE even comes up when mentioning the problems with TNA.

lol @ Kane Knight always getting into <s>arguments</s> debates with newbies...oh yea, when does TNA come on? Friday or Sat.?

Saturday

Vegas is still alive? Damn.

That's what he lives for. By the way KK why won't you tell me what age you are? My bet would be on 31.

Why is that important? Go to the casual section to satisfy those kind of voyeuristic obsessions you weirdo

So I take it you've admitted defeat?

I mean, if you're resorting to age, you must have realised just how pathetic your argument really is.

Shit. I take that back. You'll never realise how stupid your arguments are, you jsut can't really argue back.

I'm done arguing with a 30 year old. Don't think this is the first message board I've ever been to. I know how this works. What's the point in arguing with you when your 75000 post count has everyone here kissing your ass.
Your arguments are weak in my opinion. But the worst part is that you seem to be just looking for an argument. I like TNA, you don't like TNA or WWE so why the fuck are you arguing with me? Get the fuck out and stop defending a promotion you don't actually watch.
A few mewbies joined today, why don't you start an argument with one of them until they kiss your ass and become another one of your followers.
I'm done with this shit.
