And also your weekly Robbie E match

Seriously though. What were WCW brass thinking when Nash/Goldberg had a top three pay-per-view buy of all time the crowd actually cheered when Nash beat Goldberg. When Nash got to the Georgia dome the Georgia dome sold out they were all eaten him up as champion. They wanted to see him wrestle as the champion and they would pay money to see him wrestle and then they fucking turn him heel. A turn that only last two months anyway. Why would you kill your second most over babyface in the company?

That was just Hogan demanding the title and Nash wanting to be on top, and the solution they came up with burying the entire rest of the company

Just stupidity on their part not thinking about business. The funny thing is Nash was the most or second over baby maybe even the most over babe in the company at that point and Hogan was still their top Heel and they never even did a singles match when they split the NWO in the first place. Do they not think that maybe that match would draw money? If they did Nash and hogan for the belt a bash of the beach 99 and not done the finger poke, that would’ve drawn a huge number.

This is once again why you don't cater to egomaniacs

Good to see it seems TNA has moved past that nowadays. Only took them... so long to do it

I’m hoping one of Scott’s goals after upping production, and getting in larger venues is to eventually get impact back to being live. There’s just nothing else that can quite match the energy when you know the production is live.

Careful not to fly too close to the sun - going live regularly is what fucked TNA up back in 2013 and caused the collapse that it's only starting to recover from

It is and it isn’t. The problem was they went live the same time they cut their primary revenue source which was pay-per-view. Which I still don’t understand how you shoot yourself in the face that hard.

Now obviously anthem would have to make sure that they’re making enough money to be able to do so for sure. I’m just hoping we can get there.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

I'm sure it would take a while considering the size of venues that TNA were running in 2013 vs. 2023

I will say one thing about TNA, though with them not being live is that I don’t have to worry, as much as when bigger promotions use to tape as I rarely see an impact taping spoiler anywhere on my timelines so at least I won’t have to worry about that.

That isn't any different from 2012-13 tbh, I had to REALLY look to get TNA spoilers back then

I keep going to this video. Chills

Maybe we see the return of ShopTNA.com eventually

I don’t know how legit this logo is, but I’ve seen it pop up a couple times. If it’s the actual logo, it means we’re going all the way back, boys and girls.

So it looks as though this actually is the official logo, since I saw it being used on Impact's website advertising Final Resolution, Hard To Kill and the first tapings of TNA Impact Wrestling coming up after the PPV.

I don't love it but I don't hate it either. Specifically the subtext sitting in the border, something about that doesn't sit right with me. But, we'll see how it looks in application.

I do think it could be better, but I’ve seen logos I’ve absolutely hated and I don’t hate this. What excites me most is that it is definitely dropping the wrestling after impact as some sources still insisted it be TNA Impact Wrestling for the tv show and it looks like the like from the video game mixed with that first Fox Sports logo.

I also like that it has the red and yellow half boxes on the sides. A little bit of AEW inspiration I’m sure.
