TNA chants cause WWE to stop doing "PPV Press Conferences"
 
Quote:

As reported earlier, World Wrestling Entertainment has chosen to discontinue the pay-per-view press conferences effective immediately. One source said that the reason for this was that too many people would come to the events to chant "TNA", not to mention "VKM", during the conferences. This problem was especially evident at the New Year's Revolution press conference last week as there were several loud, audible "TNA" chants during the event. To make matters worse, Jonathan Coachman acknowledged the chants by saying, "that like Kansas City, TNA is inferior." All of this was audible on the live webcast on WWE.com, but it was edited out of the subsequent post of the video. credit: Wrestling Observer

I'll tell you, this does mean that the WWE is starting to "listen" to TNA, if you know what I mean.

Naw, Vince probably thinks the fans want more Diva Bikini contests.

addy2hotty 01-11-2007 09:04 PM

If this is true, I think this is pretty huge in the grand scheme of things.

I bet VKM are rubbing their hands. They've got a lot of material, lets see if they use it.

Yeah, instead of the ppv press conferences their just going to have online bikini contests just to show how in touch Vince is with his fanbase.

They're hearing, but they're not listening. We might as well be speaking in French.

Will WWE make a better product? No.

The Naitch 01-11-2007 09:51 PM

chickenshit bastards

Fox 01-11-2007 10:58 PM

Good.

A "press conference" for a pro wrestling PPV event?

Every fucking episode of RAW and Smackdown is a fucking press conference. Y'know, people with microphones, promoting their matches and feuds for the big show.

It's not the fucking NFL, Vince. It's about time he stopped with this stupid shit.

Kane Knight 01-11-2007 10:59 PM

IT's not the NFL?

Then what's with all the homoeroticism?

Fox 01-11-2007 11:05 PM

I think you mean "faggotry."

Kane Knight 01-11-2007 11:13 PM

No, that'd be for the company with Billy Gunn in it.

Fox 01-11-2007 11:16 PM

You mean Kanyon.

Fox 01-11-2007 11:16 PM

Who is currently unemployed, so... yeah. What's your point?

Kane Knight 01-11-2007 11:42 PM

I mean Kip James, but "The Ass Man" Billy Gunn sounds less gay.

...And that's saying something.

No big deal. When we start hearing more audible TNA chants on TV is when this matters.

I think I've heard a few...

Not "everyone" audible, but a few sporadic TNA chants here and there isn't uncommon.

ron the dial 01-11-2007 11:51 PM

Maybe they'll cancel RAW because of the chants, too.

KingofOldSchool 01-11-2007 11:51 PM

I saw someone wearing a CM Punk shirt and another wearing a Kennedy shirt tonight on Impact!

I think that upstart WWE promotion is catching on with TNA fans.

parkmania 01-11-2007 11:54 PM

Actually, I'm kinda surprised that they haven't gone back to taping RAW since they don't have live competition.

What in the sam hell is the interwebz?

I'm waiting on last months Wrestling Challenge to get to me from this neat tape collector in the mail.

Xero 01-12-2007 12:05 AM

Well, you keep waiting on that.

I heard there was this huge guy in that same promotion who's kicking ass. He's named after a TV show... I think his name is "Smoking Gun" Hogan... Or something like that.

KingofOldSchool 01-12-2007 12:11 AM

Woah I just saw that Ric Flair became NWA Champ for the 2nd time!

I think he's good for another 4 reigns or so, but after that it'll probably be downhill.

Uh, yeah, they had press conferences for every PPV for the past couple of years. Sometimes they'd show clips of them, and most of them they'd announce them before a PPV.

I would make an argument about ratings, but it seems after the Rosie/Donald thingie, no one in WWE gives a shit about ratings.

St. Jimmy 01-12-2007 01:04 AM

Now if TNA could make all Non-Nash/Angle aspects of their company not boring, I could almost maybe not really give a shit.

:kiss:

Shadow 01-12-2007 02:08 AM

Man, did you hear about this Big Bang thing? It's like so damn awsome! You should check it out!

There...I ran the joke into the ground. Now move on.

Batsu 01-12-2007 03:24 AM

Well, this can only mean that soon... Raw will cease to be live.

Also, WWE has really been clamping down on fans' signs in recent weeks. For instance, at the 12/26 house show in Hershey, PA, they were confiscating several signs at the door. The current policy calls for anything lewd, anything TNA related, anti-babyface signs, not to mention anything plugging a website, to be confiscated by sercurity. Furthermore, the term "VKM" has been added to the banned list of signs that fans aren't allowed to bring to WWE events. There have been several reports in recent weeks of security confiscating signs that show the initials of everyone's favorite WWE Chairman, Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

RVDmark 01-12-2007 06:29 AM

A: Why take signs to a house show?

B: Why confiscate them if its not on TV?

I'd only miss it slightly more than I do now, oddly enough.

If we can get TNA to Create Duo Extreme, maybe they'll start confiescating DX T-Shirts and signs.

Just think of all the precedents this sets.

Because then no one will know that people don't like John Cena.

Duh.

Dorkchop 01-12-2007 11:32 AM

You know, if the WWE put some effort in their product, and didn't produce a lot crap wrestling shows, they wouldn't be cancelling PPV press conferences from people chanting their competition's name.

ron the dial 01-12-2007 11:36 AM

Effort into their product? Is that a serious suggestion? It is not fathomable to expect WWE to put some fucking effort into what they do. Ignore what the fans want, or don't want, and continue on the set course. Cancel PPV press conferences. Confiscate signs at the door. Use all of the effort that you could be putting into the fucking product to simply try and ignore the competition. This is the best course of action, from a wrestling and business standpoint.

Fucking WWE.

They are putting effort into it. Just into the wrong areas.
