TNA's next live show, Who paid for Hogan/Bischoff?

[Kizza]

- Spike TV played a big part in TNA bringing Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff in. Spike reportedly earmarked money and helped out with the contracts as they have done in the past with other major TNA signings such as Mick Foley. Kevin Kay and Brian Diamond of Spike are long-term looking to use Hulk Hogan to challenge RAW on Monday nights.

- Right now the next live Monday iMPACT looks to happen on March 1st or March 8th. Regarding going live permanently, everyone expects it to happen and the feeling is that they should go live when the new guys are fresh and the company has some momentum.

WO

Hardly surprising, TNA wouldn't have nowhere near enough money.

Fuck, meant to say live. Whatever.

The "who's paying the big names" isn't news. That's how it's always been for every big name they've ever signed. TNA alone can hardly afford to pay the cheap talent and Dixie doesn't have the money people seem to think she has.

The best thing yet is how people believe Hogan put his own money down in TNA, homeboy is the wrestling legend equivalent of TNA, he's got some, but not enough.

I hope they have everything in line by the time they go live and decide to whether it's worth trying to go head to head with WWE, because if they go the way that monday Impact was TNA won't be long for this world.

trying live at march? lol, road to WM period? thats not wise imo.

SpikeTV won't be happy with low rating this time. And Hogan will start bashing WWE just to get 0.0001 extra ratings for the show.

TNA can suck donkey dicks imo. Not worth it, never were and def. never will.

is it because TNA doesnt have Batista? :shifty:

But surely Nash can more than compensate for lack of Batista?

Well, I think TNA is doing a good job right now. Them only doing the occasional live Monday show just generates excitement for Monday Night Wars nostalgia. And as we've seen TNA does step up their game considerably when they go head to head with WWE. Obviously they're not going to come close the beating RAW, or even do as well as they did last time. Still sounds cool to me though.

Nash more than compensates for Batista.

That's good. The TNA live atmostphere seems to be better than the taped ones. Plus you wont run into all the spoilers. So just like last time, I'll be sure to watch this.

Funny people were saying that last week and you saw what happened then. TNA got their highest rating ever going against RAW for the 1st time ever live. WWE's road to mania last year was pretty lackluster and I don't even remember anything from the years before that.

 

[MizMasta3000]

I think TNA needs to gain the confidence to just go for it. Or else we're all going to be sitting around thinking about what could have been
