Are you going to let a little something like "facts" and "logic" get in the way of a perfectly good myth?

Anyway, Clox, your threshold for what's good is far different than most posters around here, let alone the average Joe's. I'm betting this response will get your typical "lol I'm so high right now" response, and every time you're high, you think you're insightful, but really, no.

A Boom period is marked by mainstream popularity and commercial success. TNA doesn't start the boom by just being GOOD, they have to actually draw in crowds and make money. They have to get high ratings. They have to be competing with WWE, and right now, they're not. You talk about the distant third that RoH is, and TNA is a distant second. In fact, they're a de facto second place. They're not second because they're competition, merely second because there is no real competition. When you only draw a third of the TV ratings in a non-competitive time slot, you're not competition in any meaningful sense.

So where's the Boom period? What indicates that we may be in another boom period? You enjoy it, and therefore, it's the next Attitude Era? No.
It doesn't work that way. The only promotion making a huge profit right now is WWE, and that's not so much off wrestling, as it is off their video and merch departments. Mostly video, which they've done by stepping up production of videos. That's a stopgap measure, though, not a strong longterm business model. TNA? No. RoH? I won't even dignify that one.
