TNA-5 Years from now
With the recent ratings spike and a solid ppv showing last night,TNA is showing to me that they could possibly be steady compitition to WWE in the future. In your opinion,where wil the company be in five years. Will they be defunct and closed down? Could they ever over take the strangle hold that Mcmahon has on the buisness,and become number one in the ratings? Will they combine with ROH and make the IWC websites explode? Post your thoughts below.

They get funding from Panda Energy, unless that ends and since its Dixies father thats unlikely, they will still be in business in 5+ years.

I think he was just stating that they have high ratings ON spike? Maybe? Oh wait, that cant be it because they are not even the #1 show on Spike TV. A station that runs 3 hours of COPS reruns 2 times a day. What a joke channel with joke programing. Except the cage fighting and 1000 ways to die.

*correction*

Nothing like a good ol' 'TNA will be gone' thread.

In five years time TNA will be in the same position as it is now. The #2 company, but nowhere near competing with WWE.

Unless the world ends next year.

This is more of a "crystal ball thread",then a "TNA will be gone thread". Certain posters tend to go that route more times then not.

Ratings spike? They're still doing a 1.2 rating, which has pretty much been the average rating for Impact since they got a second hour. They aren't attracting new fans and they won't unless they drastically improve the writing and production, so I would say in 5 years TNA will be doing a 1.2 rating.

A week before last they averaged 1.9 million people.That's a good rating for cable on most channels in the states. They have mainstream advertising. If they had more local ads or lesser known advertisers it would be a sign of losing revenue and getting low ad sales. That's what's most important anyway. I believe they've turned a profit the last two years anyway,due mainly to the house shows.

Theyve always been around that number though with the two hour thursday Impact, 1.2 in the nielsen ratings does not mean 1.2 million people watched. They havent gained a significant number of viewers or had a ratings spike.

No matter how many big stars they sign (Jeff Hardy, Hulk, Bischoff etc) they still seem incapable of raising their ratings far beyond what they were years ago. With all these signings and all the advantages the company has they've made little, if any, progress. With this in mind why should I believe anything will change?

They need to increase their production values, they have the talent and could employ better writers. but somehow TNA dosen't seem like as much of a 'spectacle' as WWE.

Plus all the people who have said they will be out of business are completely stupid. They have a never ending stream of money coming from an energy company, for as long as people exist they will need to buy energy. Thus the energy company and others affiliated with it are pretty safe until sitting in candlelight looking at a blank screen becomes a popular pastime.

No where. They will either be dead or in the same exact position they are in now.

A better question is, in five years, will anyone remember TNA. Has it made any impact on the industry?

Probably not.

Even when they changed days they kept the same ratings, they do have a loyal fanbase, it just never seems to grow. 1.2 on spike i think is a decent rating, internationally i think they do ok too, but unless they are in profit eventually then even a steady viewership wont help them longterm.
