With Impact going on the road

[Stopspot]

Will we now see a thinning of the roster? A large drawing power for some guys was the easier schedule. With Impact going on the road they will shoot two weeks of TV in one night but the number of house shows will have to increase. Do you see people dropping off the roster over time now?

I really doubt house shows will be cut by much. Maybe 10-15 house shows less, but not more than that.

As far as talent departing goes, I think some will. RVD is already in jeopardy (but that's awesome news), Madison Rayne and maybe ODB.

I don't see anyone else going away. Hogan and Bischoff wanted this move since they got in TNA, Sting, Hardy and Angle as well, the Originals like Storm, AJ, Roode, Joe, Daniels, Kaz, EY and Park have worked 10 yrs to get to this point, so I don't see any major name leaving. Even the undercard will be alright IMO.

I said that house shows would increase. Since they have to do something to fill the time between tapings to not loose momentum in between tv shows. I guess we will have to take a wait and see approach since some people who are stoked for it now might start losing interest in being on the road down the line.

My bad, misread. I honestly believe around 10 house shows will be cut for 2013, since the TV on the road is very expensive. Just a thought of mine, doesn't mean it will. And it's not like 10 h.shows make any significant difference in TNA business numbers.

True, unless they for some reason start losing a lot of money somewhere since the house shows are said to be pretty profitable. Then it could come back to haunt them.

I don't think we'll have any big losses, if any. The house show numbers aren't improving that dramatically.
