I think TNA does a good job when it comes to building up PPVs. I do feel that they need to try and hype the more important matches more than the mid-card matches (like WWE) but I guess they want the fans to look forward to everything on the card. My only problem I have with TNA's PPV hype formula is sometimes I think they wait too long to announce matches for a PPV. Lets take Bound For Glory IV as an example. They waited until the go home episode of iMPACT! before we got to see a finalized card. They also waited until only 2 weeks before Bound For Glory to start building up Cage/Booker/AJ which eventually led to the 3 way. My point is, I think TNA needs to build up their PPVs by announcing the matches earlier, similar to what they did in Bound For Glory 2007, that way we have time to get excited about the matches on the card.

What do you think? Is TNA doing a good job of selling their PPVs?

TNA hypes some of their PPVs nicely. Jarret vs Kurt, say what you want about the build up, it was nicely put together, same as for Sting vs Samoa Joe. However, as a general PPV, it wasn't hyped in a good way, and the same way for the rests of PPVs. TNA hypes correctly some of their matches, but not the entire card.
