So let us assume for a second that...
TNA actually "makes it" to the point where they have almost no choice to expand their touring where it becomes more and more like WWE's schedule.

What do you suppose guys like Christian and Kurt Angle will do considering that the main reason why they went to TNA was because of the lighter schedule? And do you think it would effect guys like RVD or Chris Jericho's interest in TNA since they are more interested in the lighter schedule right now?

Of course this is all just a bunch of "what ifs" but it is worth it to bring up. Will they work the normal schedule or do you think TNA will give probably their two biggest stars a light workload compared to the other talent?

You probably wouldn't get the real Superstars at the shows. They'd be saved for TV and PPV

That would be a problem, if your top stars won't be at house shows, then you would keep a lot of the fans away.

If you're some casual TNA fan who only really knows the top wrestlers, what would make you go see a main event with Jay Lethal vs. Chris Daniels when in reality you should be seeing Kurt Angle vs. Sting?

It's like alienating the fans who normally wouldn't get to see an event.

Was WWE hurt when most of their big names (Sometimes, possibly all) weren't doing house shows?

Well what is/was good with WWE is that they always had SOMEONE the fans cared about. Since house shows are usually bigger among families, you would be hard pressed to not find someone on the card who teens/kids get excitied for.

Even if the main event was Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy, the fans would still enjoy it since people absolutely love Jeff Hardy even though he isn't a main eventer.

If they get to where the WWE is, Im guessing they will have made more stars by then other than Christian and Angle.

I'm sure they'll work a house show every now and then.

I think they'd always have a choice. If they get big, it's still their choice whether or not they actually want to run a big number of house shows or not. They'd obviously be missing out on money, but in the end, that's all their decision.

One thing TNA should do, is not go to county fairs, and shit like that for "house" shows. I mean at least try to get into a high school gym or something.

Are you retarded?

They should bypass major local events that draw thousands of potential customers and seat a thousand, and perform in a fucking high school gym that seats 28? I pray to god your joking.

Depends. If those 28 are paying, and that thousand was let in free, with TNA being a "side attraction", then yeah, gimmie the Highschool gym, if I'm the company.

When I was in high school, there was a wrestling event held, I don't remeber the name of the company, it was something small out of Las Vegas, and their chapion was Rodney Anoa'i, better known as Yokozuna, and there was 600 people in the gym, all paying customers.

What they should do, is travel but not at the same pace as WWE does. One or two house shows a week, One TV show a week, and then one PPV a month. Run a house show and a TV show from the same venue...and then don't travel very far to the next location. Say something like this...

2 1/2 Week TNA Travel Schedule
Sunday - Off
Monday - House Show - Fresno, CA
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - House Show - Sacramento, CA
Thursday - Impact! Live - Sacramento, CA
Friday - Off
Saturday - Off
Sunday - PPV - San Jose, CA
Monday - House Show - Oakland, CA
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - House Show - Portland, OR
Thursday - Impact! Live - Portland, OR
Friday - Off
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off
Monday - House Show - Tacoma, WA


Just don't haul everybody across the country one or two days apart or run five house shows all over the place during the week.

Jesus. I'm in a tiny town in a tiny state, and we still have high school gyms with capacities over 400.

I know MAH was exaggerating, but I was just thinking...If my One Horse Town seats so many, how small must they be, and why would TNA be there anyway?

Who knows... TNA did a house show here. First it was canceled, and when they finally did come, like no one big on their roster was there. I think like the biggest name was Rhyno, and that was it.

Should we first assume TNA can pull their heads out of their asses and look at why their product sucks before we start talking about them touring and competing with WWE?

Also, what is this bullshit about mainevent stars wanting lighter schedules? Don't they realize they are driving their company out of business by doing that?
