I'm still shocked their still around, company got frugal af and it def saved them at least for a few more years

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Should have gone bankrupt then. If you can't run a monthly super card without losing all your money, you're not supposed to make it.

 

[Chris]

Saying a company that's still alive should have gone bankrupt

 

[Chris]

I think they made the right decision whether we like it or not lmao

 

[Ricky Smarks]

If you can't run one show a month out of your leased Florida sound stage, then yes.

 

[Chris]

So like all indy companies should go bankrupt?\

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The PPV was the biggest coster, though. They lost too much touring after Hogan came on board. They were fine with PPVs from Florida. They jsut didn't make enough money to go outside the Imapct Zone.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

TNA wasn't trying to be an indy before 2013, they were the number 2 promotion in the world.

 

[Chris]

And they were losing a ton of money for it, so they made a hard business decision to downgrade and stop competing with WWE and it's probably the only reason they're still alive today

 

[Chris]

Not every company wants to go the WCW route and die

 

[Chris]

I hate when PPVs wait until after the first match to run down the card for some reason, like every company has done that shit a lot too but it just feels so weird to me

 

[Ricky Smarks]

But is it any better when they have a hard time selling venues and no one watches the product? There's no point being alive if you're not even making ends meet. There's a reason Dixie sold the company to Anthem. It wasn't worth keeping.

 

[Chris]

I mean my dad still watches them weekly so he'd say yeah it's better than not having any wrestling to watch when he's drinking on a Friday night

 

[Chris]

But to me, yeah I'd say still being a live is better than not even if I don't watch it at all and barely follow it

 

[Ricky Smarks]

He could watch anything else that's on.
