TNA to get Thursday night prime time, every week!
 
Spike TV is preparing to announce that TNA iMPACT! will move to a Thursday night primetime slot.

If Spike TV does go through with the move, the night would reportedly see TNA from 8-9PM followed by two hours of to-be-determined UFC programming.

This news comes on the heels of the strong 1.1 rating for this past Saturday's edition of the TNA television show.

Ugh I'd do this after survivor season.

Londoner 02-01-2006 09:47 AM

Like I said, they're heading in the right direction.

94 SVT Cobra 02-01-2006 10:07 AM

i want to see what happens whent he wrestler turned bible thumper doesnt show up anymore.

Savio 02-01-2006 02:36 PM

Ummmmmm Hardy?

Yashamaga 02-01-2006 02:53 PM

So Sting pretty much got them to primetime with one appearance.


Sting is god.

TerranRich 02-01-2006 02:53 PM

KENNEDEEEEHHHHHHH....

You've got a nice head.

Schoenauer 02-01-2006 03:24 PM

Wow, Sting shows up and TNA's ratings boost... who else could boost TNA's ratings with just 1 appearance?

loopydate 02-01-2006 03:26 PM

Hogan
Austin
Rock
Undertaker
Goldberg
Bret Hart

Of course, none of those would happen, but there would certainly be a ratings boost.

Batsu 02-01-2006 03:30 PM

YES. At long last. Wrestling on Thursday nights again.
I don't care if it's a Jarrett-X-Pac main event...it's a lot better than having to stay up on Saturday nights just to watch the show.

The Naitch 02-01-2006 03:47 PM

once TNA actually shows up on Vince's radar, Vince will just pull out the big guns and blow the motherfucker up

Plus if they move before SNME, the WWE will lose stealing TNA's audience.

D Mac 02-01-2006 03:49 PM

Guess we'll be seeing a TNA-WWE invasion angle soon. After Vince deals with this.

legend, why haven't you posted in this thread? you know you are going nuts.

McLegend 02-01-2006 07:21 PM

I don't know, but I am pretty happy about the announcement.

Savio 02-01-2006 07:37 PM

Whens the move taking place?

After scoring its highest rating to date on Saturday night with a 1.1 for the debut of Sting, TNA and Spike officials are meeting in New York today regarding a prime time weeknight time slot.

According to sources, days discussed are both Monday and Thursday. One would suspect Thursday as the frontrunner, given all UFC first-run programming starting on 4/6 would be moved to Thursday. Thursday leading into UFC programming would be the most likely decision. It had been considered, even without the big rating, that a move was likely ever since the decision was made for the Tito Ortiz/Ken Shamrock season three of Ultimate Fighter to be on Thursdays at 11 p.m. Most likely, TNA would provide lead-in programming to UFC (which could be as early as 8 p.m.) due to the audience similarity.
From the Observer.

So April most likily

What big guns??

John Cena a man who is meant to be the no.1 face in the company is having trouble trying to get the fans not too boo him out of the building.

HHH the man who has been saying the same promo for the last 5 years?

A washed up "deadman', Mark Henry or the royal rumble winner who the company dont have enough faith in to give him the main event at wrestlemania.

Or the former wwe champion who was only treated as a way to get thier untalented hack from being booed out of a building.

Quality storytelling and logical plots cant be the big guns because well lets face it Vinnie Mac dosnt even know what the hell they are.

Yeah Vince is going to blow them out of the water alright.

I know the wwe is better than TNA at the moment but some people are treating the wwe like they are the most entertaining tv show in the world.

The Naitch 02-01-2006 08:53 PM

all Vince needs is his Super Soaker 200 to kill off TNA

The Naitch 02-01-2006 08:55 PM

but yeah what I meant is that once Vince feels that TNA is becoming a threat, he'll probably step things up with creative or whatever. Now he doesnt have to worry about competition so it's like they're not even trying

Once Jarret Mountain comes close to what WCW was, then they'll probably bring out the Super Soakers and water balloons

The Naitch 02-01-2006 08:56 PM

or buy them out, leaving most TNA Superstars on Heat and Velocity

Chris Sabin for the Main Event

Yeah, it's pretty much a given that WWE will do one of two things


1. Step up the programming. I see this happening only if they feel they have no other resort.

2. Buy out the competition. I see this happening already, as they're supposedly buying out indy wrestlers to prevent their use in TNA.

Volchok 02-01-2006 09:18 PM

BTW I really don't like Sabins new look, But Alex Shelly on the other hand is becomming one of my favorites, his new look is pretty sweet.

Skippord 02-01-2006 09:27 PM

Yeah Sabin looks kinda gay with his new hair

McLegend 02-01-2006 09:28 PM

Sabin sprained his ankle

Skippord 02-01-2006 09:32 PM

:'(

St. Jimmy 02-01-2006 09:36 PM

i am ever so elated... =/

Dorkchop 02-01-2006 09:57 PM

This is very good for TNA, but bad for Canadian wrestling fans. I get Smackdown Thursdays from 8-10. I really do not want to flick through both shows. I just want to watch them both. Why doesn't wrestling air on Tuesday or Wednesday? GAW!

mrslackalack 02-01-2006 09:58 PM

I bet Don West will say its the biggest wrestling news in history.

The Naitch 02-01-2006 09:58 PM

what are you talking about, Dorky? SD! airs Thursdays AND Fridays in Canada

Thursdays - The Score
Fridays - UPN

West should pimp his merchandise during Impact. That's ratings right there.
