You know the most ironic thing about how fast TNA fell off a cliff in 2013 to 2015 is WWE gifted them the most amazing thing they could’ve ever imagined but for the first time in history, nobody wanted to follow the WWE’s lead on something. And that was the WWE network. Cuz their pay-per-view like I was saying it was still doing decent enough numbers for company that wasn’t WWE and if they had looked at what WW was doing and emulated them in a perfect one for one matching service, including monthly pay-per-view still, including every pay-per-view just like the network did for the low price of $10 a month not only would they have definitely maintained every person that was currently buying their monthly pay-per-view. I am confident they probably would’ve double and maybe even tripled their monthly pay-per-view Subscriptions because of the value of being able to get a monthly pay-per-view for $10 plus the back content and mind you at this point time TNA is still on spike TV. If they promoted the shit out of TNA plus on spike TV they would’ve made more money than they had ever made in their lifetime I believe but everyone looked at WWE like they were crazy.

Everyone looked at WWE like they were crazy but look at them now. TNA has their own subscription service. ROH has one. NJPW has one. All of the major indies are either on Fite/Triller or IWTV. Hell, even CHIKARA before they went belly up had their own subscription service (all of their stuff is now on IWTV).

I wish they would just all band together and make one flat out wrestling service, everyone puts their back catalog on it and when you sign up, you have the option of which companies to watch.

Some of that might be due to Scott’s termination, but as long as they’re on AXS TV I don’t think they’re gonna get good ratings regardless.

Did you mean to say how is that an all time low?
I said what I said. The phrasing of what you said implied that there's a rating that's somehow even lower.

I think they’ve done less, yes. But they usually hover around 80K.

I don’t think this is indicative of their popularity though. AXS TV is just has awful reach. I feel like if they could get on it least CW they be doing at least 300,000 I think.

They own it so I doubt they have any intention to. Especially now that they’re doing this restructuring thing to make TNA more invested in Anthem proper.
