TNA Should Drop the Monthly PPVs

Worst example i remember seeing off the top of my head was the first feast or fired match,where they opened the briefcases on Impact a week or two later instead of on PPV, great booking right there.

Yeah, at this point I don't think I'd bother with the PPVs, just because I've been conditioned to understand nothing goes on there.

I don't know what's not to get. The idea of the TV product is to promote the PPV. They're giving you the first dozen chapters for free and then telling you to buy the end of the book. It seems like a pretty obvious deal. Now, not everything should get resolved at a PPV, but there should be several things coming to a head at them. Some things continue, some don't, but without the ending, there's no motivation to pay.

Also, nobody's going to stand around the water cooler and say, "Gosh, I bought the PPV last night. I can't wait to see the resolution in a couple weeks on a cable broadcast!" I mean, I get the feeling most people who watch TNA don't work in places where one congregates around a water cooler (or are allowed to have any sharp objects), but you get the point.

I mean, I like the idea of doing something PPV level for free once in a while. but when you pull out all the stops on cable and hold back on PPV, you're doing it wrong.
