Impact Ratings for 2/16

[Crayo]

Should take the risk and completely dump the IZ all together, it's like watching FCW.

Agreed, if it's not viable to get on the road constantly once or twice a month would do for now imo.

Dammit, @[Crayo], I was about to change my picture to that!

The IZ wasn't that bad last Thursday. They've been better than most WWE crowds, but still: If they can do house shows on the road, they can tape Impact on the road.

 

[Crayo]

To be honest any episode in the IZ lessens my enjoyment by default, even if the show is great. Crowd reactions can make an episode worthy of a 5/10 to like an 8/10. Those Wembley episodes for example are the best wrestling-related TV programming I've seen in 2012, most of it is because of how awesome the crowd was.

MITB 2011, awesome, mainly because of the crowd.

I'd rather watch a good show in a dump venue than a dump show in a good venue

obviously it'd be better for them to leave the IZ and hit the road, but it doesn't completely kill my enjoyment

 

[Crayo]

Same. I said it lessens it, not kill. I generally think it can flourish though if it was outside of the IZ, even if it was just 2 times a month as seabs says.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

IMO they should go on the road and do the go home shows live on Thursday and do all of the PPVs on the road

The roster is currently in Maryland, and are going to stop by Virginia before heading back to the IZ to tape 3 Impact episodes.

Then they'll do several shows in Kansas and Kentucky, run by Mississippi and do a show, before heading back to Florida to tape more Impact.

Why not just tape Impact in Maryland or Kansas?

It's cheaper to film in the IZ I guess.. but yea they are constantly on the road doing house shows in between Impact tapings, so.... I don't get it

Yeah, the IZ is cheap, unfortunately TNA has been cutting their expenses for 2 years now, bcuz they spent shitload of money on Hogan (1,5 mil./year), Bischoff, Hardy, Flair, BVD, Andersuck, etc. Remember Jordan, X-Pac, Fatsy Boys too?

In 2008, TNA held 7 PPVs on the road.

This seems like a pretty big waste of funds, Panda should hold these guys accountable.
