Id disagree with TNA not being major

 

[Canadian Dragon]

def not now tho lol

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I always joked if you gave Paul Heyman $1 Million to run a wrestling company, he'd pocket $500,000 and then blow the rest on advertising and branding and pay the wrestlers the cheapest wages possible.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Paul Heyman is a great creative genius but he was an absolutely awful, awful, awful businessman.

They had a run of trying to be major. But they were on a soundstage at an amusement park. Until you can run arenas you aren't major league.

 

[Storm Trooper]

Shame cause TNA should have been major league for a while.

Hard disagree because the wrestling business in the 2000s was absolute shit.

Tried to run the Alamodome and only got 5000 people

 

[Canadian Dragon]

eh i think "good" TV Deals> Arenas

 

[Bobby Barrows]

You can't really judge the 2000s by the standards of the 90s or even the 2010s.

 

[Chris]

Yeah TNA running out of universal for their most popular time really isn't a great look, I think their TV presence on Spike would still qualify them as "major" for me tho but hard to judge since I'm a wrestling nerd anyway

 

[Canadian Dragon]

and they were doing pretty good numbers for a while

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Wrestling was quite literally in the doldrums in the 2000s.

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't say ECW counts at all tho as major
