I remember when I FIRST started watching TNA they didn't even have their own titles, or at least their own main title and just used some other companies title.

 

[Comrade Khan]

didnt they do some sort of like ppv tv model

 

[Comrade Khan]

I was confused reading about it

 

[Butters]

yeah, every wednesday on ppv.

 

[Butters]

I think it was $10 a show or something

 

[Butters]

I started watching when it was on TV.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I always found that to be a fascinating idea and wondered what the logic was at the time and if it was even a little successful

 

[Sky]

I am sad that they killed Xplosion

 

[Butters]

I don't think it did that well tbh.

It really wasn't, it lost so much money that they had to do a best-of special 10 episodes in while they gathered funds

 

[Sky]

That is how Dixie Carter got involved

 

[Butters]

People like Chris bought it and the rest waited for pirates

 

[Sky]

Because honestly, it was like WCW Thunder, right down to being on the same day, having the same booker and most of the same talent. But now you were paying 10 dollars a go

 

[Sky]

Having Russo involved was Jeff Jarrett's idea. Jerry Jarrett hated the idea. He left his position after getting tired of Russo's shit, and father and son didn't speak for years

 

[Hoss]

Been watching Bender's Big Score... goddamn this is good shit
