Update on the Knockouts show

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

There are still talks going on regarding a possible TNA Knockouts television program. However, if the idea plays out, it probably won't be airing on Spike TV. They will likely sell it to another network, quite like how UFC sold it's sister promotion, World Extreme Cagefighting, to the Versus channel. Internally, there is some skepticism on doing an all-women's show because they don't know if the high quarter hour ratings the women usually get will continue when they have to carry the show.

Ho hum.

^^it won't. As good as they may be talent wise, an all women's wrestling show will never fly. GLOW failed. WOW -Women of Wrestling failed. I can't see TNA Knockouts sucseeding. Its really a dumb idea to begin with.

I mean are you going to take the knockouts off of Impact all together? Because if you don't the Knockouts are suddenly getting a crap load more air time then well lets be honest...the X-Division or any other male division. I don't think its wise of TNA to be considering any roster division if they get a second show. I know the WWE did it and now have 3 brands (even though Smackdown & ECW are basically one brand) but its not like they launched Smackdown as a second brand the momment the show started. They had one brand, one roster to build both shows and there identity. TNA would need to do the same before doing brand seperation as well.

Ultimately TNA is trying to grow too fast. They still aren't making any money and yet they are continuing to grow to try and be the same as the WWE (which I realize they ultimately have to probably do more or less to compete) but its happening too fast. And that could ultimately lead to there own self demise.

This guy pretty much hit the nail on the head. Can't really add anything to that, I pretty much agree with everything he said. The only thing I would say in support of this idea is what I've said all along about TNA: They need to be different. Now this would be different, I doubt it would be that successful, but it would be different and bring something to the table that the WWE and no other brand, that I'm aware of, has. That being said though, as this guy said, this sounds like they're trying to expand to quickly. You can't just have 2 seperate shows, with seperate rosters and seperate titles, if you've only been around as long as TNA has. Ultimately I think this will be the demise of TNA. If they try to spread out to quickly they will not last.
