From what I understand TNA is going to start doing live tv against Raw?
I haven't watched in a while...but do they seriously think they can comepete?

Yeah, it's basically a trial. I'm sure if they do decent they'll move to Mondays after the Road to WrestleMania. If they were smart, anyway.

I wonder if they'll go 8-10 to at least catch people for the first hour or if they'll be stupid and go up against RAW directly 9-11.
Interesting enough, with DVRs now it might not be that bad as long as theres nothing else you want to watch on Mondays. |

I could see them actually making it 3 hours for good like Nitro.

I think 3 hours would be a good idea, especially if they don't have another show other than TNA Epics.

This is make it or break it for TNA. If they fail here, they won't go down much (I don't think, unless Hogan fucks shit up backstage) but it will cement them as never being able to be on par with WWE.

But they have already done that by refusing to tour, refusing to make new stars when old ones can be bought, and refusing to let the in ring action talk for itself.

Depends on the ratings. Let's not forget while football season is in play they'll have to go up against Monday Night Football.

TNA ratings on a non WWE night like Thursdays is only as good as the piddly ECW rating.
This is a bad idea. |

honestly, i don't see the point in going head to head on monday night. broadcasting live and touring would be 2 things i would look at doing first.

Not really, but I see they have signed Hogan

TNA is a heavily producded show that relies a lot of pre-taped segments and re-filmings....Good luck going live on a whim.

The point is that even with their "star power" they are only drawing a rating the size of ECW which is considered a training ground..>Not full of icons like Foley,Sting & Steiner ect... just seems like a a baaad idea. Now if TNA was pushing a 2/3 rating on a Thursday then sure try it out...But they are only doing a 1. something on a weekly basis which is scary. |

if they're hoping to garner ratings based on "HEY MONDAY NIGHT WARS ALL OVER AGAIN" mentality from the fans, i think they're going to be disappointed. anybody who gives a fuck about that has already tuned into TNA and make their decision. hogan will bring in new viewers, but that will only last for so long. i don't see any of this bringing TNA into the "big time" and making them legit competition for WWE.

Many of you guys have to remember that most fans are not like us. They aren't thinking through whether or not the company has made 'good' decisions and then sort of basing their opinions on that. When wrestling was at its peak, I would say the majority of fans weren't all that tuned into the business, it was just entertaining for them. I hate to say this but it's going to come down to a lot of personality in order to bring in the television ratings. BDC's assessment of the TNA talent is a no-brainer...of course you won't make it big if no one is watching, so you bring in the so called 'has beens' so that people will have some recognizable faces to associate with. This is really the only reason they are there, and also one of the big reasons Hogan is there. He really isn't suppose to wrestle hardly at all.

What, my attitude of TNA has been constant disappointment, why should one live TNA on Monday be any different? Is that the attitude you mean? Or the attitude where I don't just conform with the rest of IWC on Jericho is the greatest, WWE sucks but I won't quit watching, or Nameless Indy Guy #3563 is going to make it huge now that he signed with WWE...oh wait they already cut him.
Thanks for coming by. |

Wrestling in general has been boring me lately....TNA just makes it worse. I like some of what they do and some of who they have but I just can't force myself to like the majority of their programming.

Oh, so I haven't been watching wrestling for the past month, therefore I don't know what I'm talking about? The wrestling business changed that much since I stopped watching? Shut the fuck up.

TNA has done a live iMPACT! at least once. It was in October of last year when they did it from Vegas (first broadcast in HD I believe), and when MEM first became a faction.
