    Damien Sandow and the WHC MITB Briefcase

    The issue I have with it is that WWE have done it so often and it is lazy booking. They continue to book MITB winners poorly and all it does is make the champion look even weaker when the eventual cash in occurs since they are losing to a guy that hasn't won a match in however many months. I...

    NXT on the Road?

    If they focus on small markets and small buildings that WWE doesn't normally run then I can see this working. The NXT tv show is really good to watch and they have enough talents on the roster to make it a worthwhile show to pay for and attend. They can always add a fringe main roster performer...

    Major Issues at TNA House Show

    If the company books a wrestler for a certain state then they should ensure that that wrestler is cleared to wrestle in that state. It is something that any promotion should know, they have these wrestlers signed to contracts and should know the limitations that come with them. If they find out...

    Major Issues at TNA House Show

    What numbers are the New Japan buyrates doing? I suppose a good comparison between New Japan and TNA right now would be the fact that New Japan was sold for around $6 million last year to a new owner, would TNA be worth the same or less? Just because a company is terribly managed and can't...

    New X-Division Championship Design

    I have no issue with the blue but why not just change the red in the old X-Division design to blue and keep the rest the same? The old belt had a much better look to it, looked more like a championship than a gimmick.

    TNA Impact Wrestling 18th July 2013 - Destination X LIVE Discussion

    It surely is a must to have the world champion on as many shows as possible. Granted there are situations where they can't make it but this is one big issue that TNA needed to address. If I went to a TNA house show I would automatically assume that I would see all the champions on the show, it...

    Major Issues at TNA House Show

    Even though they aren't making profit they are still a big company in wrestling when you look at their revenues. All the international tv deals that they have would be bringing in a large amount of money and through the sponsorhip and merchandising deals that they have they would be bringing in...

    Greg Marasciulo AKA Trent Baretta

    This week on Impact Greg made his TNA debut participating in one of the three triple threat X-Division matches to determine the new X-Division champion. He won his triple threat match and will be in the Ultimate X title match next week. I watched his debut and aside from the terrible name, which...

    New X-Division Championship Design

    That is a fair call, still not a good look for the company even if it is just bad timing. I still fail to see the need for the drastic change other than to match the colour of the belt to the colour that TNA has adopted for the last couple of years.

    Major Issues at TNA House Show

    They are a big company in wrestling. Obviously compared to companies like Coke and BP they are small but in the wrestling world they are the second biggest. They have tv clearance in dozens of countries around the world, they are on a major network in the US, they have PPV distribution. They are...

    TNA Impact Wrestling 18th July 2013 - Destination X LIVE Discussion

    You bring up an interesting point here. Someone like Sabin wouldn't be on too much money so TNA can afford to run him on every single show possible whereas when they had some of their bigger names as champion they would be on restricted dates due to cost. Haha, my bad. Didn't realise it was...

    TNA Television Ratings

    Good rating for the special themed episode. These former PPV themed episodes seem to be boosting their ratings nicely, just need to convert those extra viewers into regulars. Wonder if Chris Sabin winning the title will pop the rating this week for the taped episode, people may tune in to see...

    TNA Spring Cleaning

    How were the ones released draining money from the company. Morgan would have been the only one on more than six figures and the others wouldn't have been paid if they weren't booked for a show. They wouldn't have cut much money at all which is why I maintain that they need to cut some wrestlers...

    New X-Division Championship Design

    Nothing wrong with change if it is an improvement. I don't see this new title design as any better than the previous design so I fail to see why they made the change, especially when they are supposedly in a cost cutting phase.

    Major Issues at TNA House Show

    This is pathetic from TNA, they are a big company and they should be able to organise simple things like licenses for wrestlers which all wrestling promotions know they need. I like how they tried to place the place on the Missouri Athletic Commission rather than accept responsibility...

    Damien Sandow and the WHC MITB Briefcase

    I was very happy that Sandow was given the win and that there is at least the potential for him to win the World title. I also don't want to see him doing false cash-ins month after month, try something different for once to make this MITB reign stand out. I also don't really want to see another...

    Who would you promote next from NXT?

    I don't think that would be fair to NXT, would decrease the quality of the show as he wouldn't know the workers well at all. The great thing with Regal on NXT is that he clearly does plenty of research on the newer wrestlers and lets the viewers know who they are and what they are capable of...
