HEY! TNA might turn a profit this year!

TNA News: Good Financial News, New Creative Direction and More
Posted by Larry Csonka on 03.31.2008

Some TNA news to kick off the day!

- Early projections are that TNA will be "significantly profitable" in 2008. TNA has many revenue streams coming in, including rights fees for Impact, the increase in demand for their talent, the upcoming Midway Video Game, overseas TV rights sales and house shows. With these taken into consideration TNA is expected to turn the corner financially, even with their PPV buy rates being lower than they were.

- Panda Energy has not had to put any money into the promotion for over a year, which means that TNA has actually become a self-sufficient company. The feeling is that the company either broke even or made a small profit in 2007.

- Jeff Jarrett wants to take the TNA product in a more serious direction, ala the Angle vs. Joe build. Jarrett wants more in ring time and the serious edge, while Vince Russo likes doing more pre-tapes and promos, and adding cute lines to them. Dutch Mantell wants what ever Jeff Jarrett wants.

- The World X-Cup is set for May, but nothing official has been announced for a Team Mexico or Japan yet.

Amazing, aint it?

Now I wonder if they turn a good year of booking?

It's only April, they'll figure out someway to get back into the red

Well to be fair the fiscal year started in what? October? If its looking up at this point they might actually pull it off.

In response to Mayweather at Mania, they'll end up spending 20 million on someone from Top Chef or a shitty reality show to headline Bound for Glory and wonder why things aren't working out for them

The more I think about it the more I think this is an April fools joke.

They definately made money in 2007. How? I don't know but they did.

I suspect the Knockouts are really being brought in for their secrete prostitution rink that has been funding the company since the beginning. All the way back to the with strippers they had locked in the cages back in the Nashville days.

Maybe Nash and Jarrett are dealing coke out of the Impact Zone.

These are about the only plausible ways they could turn a profit. Unless WWE is paying them money to keep Russo and Mantell on the writing team.
