| Re: TNA Impact sucks
West & Tenay are good?
The comedy in Impact is good?
Vince's arms are "flabby"?!!
All opinions that are steeped in insanity...lol!
The opinion as to whether the show sucks or not is irrelevant. That's just personal opinion and everyone has their own.
The bottom line (I love using that, I stole it from Griff because it always makes what you're about to say look great!) is the company is held afloat by a money mark. This company is making no money and living hand over fist. The ways you recommend to improve the show Griff......they are "exactly" what the journos like Alvarez and just about everybody else have been suggesting for about two years now. And in that time these suggestions have been ignored and the company has carried on with 1.1, 1.2 ratings. It amazes me that almost 100% of people that are TNA fans (like yourself Griff in your comments above) have better ideas on how to book this show than they do.
On a side note, it was laughable that the tiny increase in their TV rating was applauded from on high. All that means is that an even smaller percentage of the people watching Impact find it then necessary to buy the PPV. TNA make no extra money out of increasing from 1.1 to 1.2...it's an irrelevance.
Not to cut to the chase Impact is an advert. An elongated advert. That's all it is. That's all it should be. That's all Raw is as well. They are one big advert to get you to part with your money at the end of the month so that each company can make money and get a profit. WWE converts a much higher percentage of their fans through their advert than TNA does, or ever will, with Impact in it's current condition.
You say you prefer Impact to Raw, well good for you. But the show fails in it's premise because only 17,000 people out of 1.6, 1.7 million people then buy what they're asking you to buy....just 1%. And that's been the way it is for over two years.
It tells me this show is a massive failure. Massive.
I watch it myself and find it so insulting that I watch it in about 15 minutes going through in fast motion so I can pick out a tidbit of stuff that might be good. I stick with that because I know how awesome the Pay Per Views are and can be. There are only 17,000 people that know this and buy the PPV each month.
It's just soooooooooooo frustrating. Nobody is ever going to buy their PPV's because their "advert" for the PPV is crap. Which is such a shame because those of us that know, know that you should buy the PPV, just don't watch the TV show!
Did you see "Global Impact"....almost completely no comedy, no shitty angles, no everybody playing a mid card comedy act and nobody being above anyone else and what happened, it was greatness......even with Tenay and West sucking, because they stuck to what they're good at, wrestling.
So yes, for me and millions of others, Impact does suck, but to be even more accurate and in language you'll all understand "Impact ph@ils".
And lastly, great to read Griff's comments. Intelligent writing in the wrestling boards is always god to read even when I don't concur! |
