Impact Ratings for 5/3

[CMPuLs3]

It is the complete disregard of advertisement... do you think anyone outside the IWC gives a shit in hell if Hogan is on the TV? No. My mom even comes in the room to see Hogan on the TV, because she knows who he is.

No way man. TV Shows don't need advertisement to succeed.

I've never once seen RAW or SmackDown advertised.

Please post some solid proof it's lack of advertisement. None of the ex-employees, current employees or actual intelligent writers/reviewers have mentioned it. It's pure denial, it's frightening to watch. From now on, just for lols, every single low-rated RAW or SmackDown I will blame on advertisement.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

You live in the fucking UK. I see WWE advertised all the damn time; and yes, they do have a built in audience that will obviously not be the same for a company that was started TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO.

It's not denial, it's common fucking sense.

you want proof of a lack of advertisement? I don't have any other than the lack of advertisements seen anywhere for TNA. Let me find a pie chart that shows when and where they advertise brb. Get real homie

Tbf I see WWE a fair bit not on TV but on YouTube and what not, hell even on TNA videos I've seen it plus the PPVs are always heavily advertised on Sky, so Raw will pick it up by association if nothing else. Great marketing is the reason for Vinces empire IMO, as the old saying goes if you tell people a sugar pill is a headache cure they'll feel better, so you should go out and tell enough people how great your product is they'll believe it eventually.

WWE is advertised a shit load on USA Network (which is like SpikeTV x 3 + John Cena is on anything & everything now-a-days).

TNA also hasn't sucked up every popular wrestling promotion like WWE has. You can't compare the two at all.

TNA is doing good & the ratings don't reflect the show. All the ex-employees are sour grapes... if I get fired from TNA, I sure as hell wouldn't praise it.

Waiting on the pie chart.

So far your argument is "I've seen WWE advertisement, but not TNA". Damn, I've been proven wrong.

I've actually seen more TNA commercials than WWE commercials, pretty much every discussion thread there's a post from me saying "Lol TNA advert during WWE".
Probably because WWE don't want to advertise WWE being on at 2am. TNA is on at like 9pm here.

Edit: All the ex-employees? This is what pisses me off, do research before posting. Those bold statements literally make me facepalm. They mean nothing, they don't help your cause...

I agree that WWE whore the internet out, clever of them, but it's not for RAW. That's for PPV's, which are still declining lol1. None of you have any significant evidence that it's advertising, you're just saying it is.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

This argument is pointless. I find your POV as stupid as you find mine, and neither of us are going to be 'proven' right or wrong. Just drop it.

 

[CMPuLs3]

Honestly, unless you are really, REALLY, trying to hate TNA, it's impossible to not enjoy the show they are putting out. Stop worrying about who they put on TV, let them run their business, and enjoy the got damb product.

Does seeing Hogan like honestly piss you off? If so, you got some problems; It's not a big deal.

 

[Crayo]

My POV is a sucky show, most of your posts recently about TNA have agreed (apart from the last show, you were more positive). Old talent = fucked up. WWE are doing the same thing, except their old talent unfortunately are global stars, but the concept is the same and it sucks. Months ago we were praising the TNA mid card, now every post I see on every site I visit are fans complaining about how it sucks.

I loved everything leading up to LD did I not? They put on two below par shows (still better than Raw) and last week they were back to what I would expect out of them.

also note that the two shows I didn't like were still well received by the guys who watch Impact on this site (Draine, Testify, CM Pulse, ect)

 

[Crayo]

Reply to my post. Your sarcasm and ass-licking is just making me facepalm more. At least CM Pulse has points, sort of. He enjoys TNA, that's fine. You (Pulse) said RVD being in the main event is "awesome", that's fine, I and others disagree. It's just okay to put up with since Roode is shining still. The one thing they're doing right.

And seriously Pulse please stop this "OH UR JUST WANTING TO HATE" crap, I watched and enjoyed TNA religiously a month or two ago, I was whoring out to all WWE fans here how much it was better than WWE. In fact, Ziggles flamed me a couple of times for it. So please give that hopeless argument a rest.

What sucks about the product?

Hogan is the GM (not bad)
Austin Aries & Bully Ray feud (not bad)
Bobby Roode's Reign of Terror (not bad)
Kurt Angle & AJ Styles co feud (not bad)
Chris Daniels, Kaz & AJ Styles co feud (not bad)
Magnus & Joe Tag Champs w/ MCMG coming in soon (not bad)
Gail Kim making all the Knockouts look 100x better (not bad)

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I did dick wad. And likewise on the face palming. This is reaching the point of being unbearable which is why I suggested dropping it

He wants anyone over the age of 40 off TV and AJ Styles to be booked as a main event god.

plus if this guy can cut promos with this intensity all the time, i think TNA just got a big star
