Bunch of TNA updates... TNA IS profitable!

[HHHforever]

^Yea it obviously is, however the whole point of TNA is that it's easier on the stars and all that shit by barely traveling and not having live shows. I personally don't really know what their goals are long term.

 

[OsamaHussian]

^ They have been adding more house shows as of late and I know they had (or will have) a tour over in England sometime soon so it seems like they are traveling more now a days.

 

[HHHforever]

^Which I find intersting because their whole appeal to the older wrestlers that jump ship there from the WWE is the fact that they don't travel that much. I guess we'll see where that goes.

I don't think their active goal should be to compete with WWE. They're making money, so they should just focus on getting more buyers a little bit at a time. Like "Okay, Lockdown got 5000 people to show up, let's see if Sacrifice can get 6000", and such. Competing with WWE will come as a side effect of just being successful in that regard.

I think thats the first time you've ever said anything that I agree with, specifically that last scentence. However.....

It only takes 2 people to set up a ring. Its not that much work, i used to do it with another guy. WIth 2 people it only takes about 1-130 hours.

I like Jeremy Borash concept. He appears to have his head on straight. Although im not sure i believe TNA is profittable. I'd just like to see concrete #s. They have a lot of big money contracts. If it is true Angle/Cage/Sting are making 500,000

I would like to see TNA go to the bigger markets though.

I too would like to see actual #'s as with so many big name/money contracts I'd find it tough to believe that they are actually making money.

 

[HHHforever]

Yea that definitely would be interesting to see. On top of that don't they not charge to get into the iMPACT Zone? Where is this money coming from? They've got big contracts, low ratings and they don't charge to get into what is the bulk of their shows. So where is this money coming from?

 

[Petey Williams]

It has got to be merchandise and the other shows around the world

 

[KroniK 4-2-0]

They do sell merchandise, and traveling more so that may explain how they are getting money. But, I don't think Sting is getting 50 Thousand. He did when he first signed with TNA, but if I recall correctly he signed a new contract for one year. Angle is getting paid the most for sure.....but I'd like to know how much is Double J getting payed? Doesn't he get to pay himself? lol

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

^^Sting has always reportedably being getting five hundred thousand a yeay, not fifty thousand.

Anyway, this seems to be good news for TNA, and they do not need to rush anything. Small steps at a time is what is needed imo.

 

[gashface]

I'm glad that TNA is becoming profitable but one thing it is certainly not at the moment is entertaining. And I'm a tna fan.:azzangel:

 

[Marvel26]

I hope that TNA reach some kind of deal with ROH to do a talent swap, I thik that may interest more fans and TNA will also reach out to ROH fans, and maybe the same way round for ROH!

I knew Borash had experience in running things but I didn't think that was what he is doing in TNA! I just thought he was in charge of the website or something!

 

[KroniK 4-2-0]

My bad BKB, I meant 500 Thousand, not 50, lol. I don't think any idiot would think Sting gets 50 thousand a year. That's Colin Delaney pay, lol

 

[Haze187]

I don't know but I guess they are getting money somehow, I see a lot of 'JOE KNOWS PAIN' shirts around so I guess they are selling something. Plus remember TNA doesn't really have much to spend, they're not a huge company.
