TNA GOES TO 4 PPVS A YEAR

[acailler]

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING today announced a new worldwide Pay-Per-View programming initiative for 2013. The 52 annual episodes of IMPACT WRESTLING on SpikeTV will lead to four, live epic Pay-Per-View events commencing with “Genesis” on January 13th, “Lockdown” on March 10th, “Slammiversary” on June 9 and “Bound For Glory” on October 13th.

In addition, seven Pay-Per-View specials that will be branded as “TNA Wrestling: One Night Only,” series will debut in April 2013 and continue throughout the year during the additional months. The 3-hour taped Pay-Per-View specials will premiere on the first Friday of each month. The first two “One Night Only” specials will be “Joker’s Wild Tag Team Tournament” and “X-travaganza” which will feature the X-Division.
“The Pay-Per-View industry has changed so much in the last decade,” says TNA President Dixie Carter. “The traditional pay-per-view wrestling model needed to evolve and we believe this strategy will positively impact not only the Pay-Per-View events but the weekly television programming as well.”

The company will continue to produce TNA Wrestling’s “Unfinished Business”, which are one-hour programs available on a Video on Demand (VOD) basis. The monthly titles continue to focus on the history of a rivalry or a specific past PPV event. These titles are available for two months at a time.

That's a great idea.

 

[CM Punk]

Holy shit! This sounds great and bad.
They have a lot of time to build storylines, but 4? Sounds a bit too low.

 

[Leo C]

Quite a radical change. I would find 8 PPVs the perfect amount, but since they'll do those specials I guess it'll end up alright.

 

[Stopspot]

Sounds like when WWE only had the big 4 plus the In your house ppv specials.

 

[GrammarNazi82]

Friday night TNA PPV specials? I'm intrigued. Huge news for TNA.

 

[Cloud]

Right im being thick this evening. 4 PPV's the 7 specials they free to air?

 

[Senhor Perfect]

Love it! Finally, long, meaningful feuds.

[Swift]

Sounds great.

 

[Crayo]

I love that TNA listen to us.

 

[Rysenberg]

Fantastic news.

 

[Saylor]

Four does sound a little less however at least they'll have the ability to develop feuds with plenty of time.

 

[Testify]

Excellent decision. This probably means that Genesis will be on the road PPV in 2014 as well, so no more PPVs in the shitty Impact Zone! :win:

Also, with a proper build, Lord knows how much more buys they can get all 4 PPVs. #70k

Great few days to be a TNA fan, I'll tell ya. :

Shit I'm gonna start watching Tna , for sure ... WWE must decrease the number of ppvs
