Maple Leaf Muscle vs Big Poppa Pump

Brink or not, 2 is a waste of time. Just cancel them all and find a way to make the weekly shows mean more and promote more top notch matches on the weekly. Though, Impact Plus changes everything. They don't need PPV anymore. They can easily run monthly supercards and honestly they sort of do with their joint promotion shows. There's like 4 shows a month on there from that alone. Though, I think they should run actual Impact Plus exclusive super shows now. If they have those then I guess 2 PPV is fine. Though, I'd say fuck PPV and just do them all on Plus. Build that sub base.

 

[Chris]

I really don't get the point of having PPV and Plus shows tbh, I can't see them having a lot of buys

 

[Smart Marx]

It lost most people as a fan which is why there situation only got worse and worse each year. Like I said, it basically really did die. If Dixie is forced to sell because it's not making money, it's basically a new promotion run by anthem with their old shows IP they can put on their Impact Plus for easy subs.

 

[Smart Marx]

Plus shows would have buys. You only see them by having the service. The same as WWE Network. Their buys are awful now. Because they don't care about buys anymore. You watch their shows by having the Network.

 

[Chris]

Didn't you say a few weeks ago that JCP and WCW are counted as the same company when Turner buying JCP is basically the same as Anthem buying out Impact from Dixie

 

[Smart Marx]

Yuo have all their normal PPV shows on WWE Network and then there are shows like Smackville. PPV is a thing of the past in wrestling, honestly. It's not the "PPV" that's needed. Just a monthly super to pay off your angles.

 

[Smart Marx]

If you're talking history, it is. But, of you're talking about them surviving to see another day. They really didn't. TNA was a mainstream company that could compete with WWE. This Impact that you need to watch on Twitch is another beast altogether. Plus, no one agrees with me about JCP. Wiki claims WCW started in 1988. I don't agree, but whatever.

 

[Chris]

I agreed lol I just said it was a weird scenario but I'd say WCW continues from the lineage of JCP

 

[Chris]

But like if someone asks me the best WCW match I don't think of ones from the 80s even though I would technically count those if I really thought about it

 

[Smart Marx]

You and I are alone in this void. If I changed the wiki, they'd change it back.

 

[Chris]

I think that's bc Turner himself saw WCW as a separate company started from the ashes of JCP if you will, but that's a whole other conversation and a very confusing time with the NWA belts converting to WCW and the short lived International Championship and shit

 

[Smart Marx]

It's funny though because I'm sure wiki does treat Impact and TNA as the same company (that's another reason I'd rather treat them differently because it was Anthem that decided to short their name to the name of the TV. Yuck.), and yet wiki claims WCW was created in 1988. Even though they mention Turner buying JCP. I don't get the logic behind it.

 

[Smart Marx]

WCW International, get it right.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

JCP was bought and consolidated into WCW Inc.
