5. I would say tour a little to the bigger markets so they can promote a show and you know how people love to be seen on TV but they are doing tapings so that is blown to shit... plus if people DO start catching on... how are they going to see the workers live? No one is going to go to a TNA house show.
There is little chance of a big fanbase in the first month due to basketball season, hockey and baseball going on so the schedule will shift vastly... unless its daytime Sundays or something stupid like that (there is no set "time" that I am aware of).
The reason I say production values is because while the workers are good... I personally sometimes have issues with things looking 3rd rate. I don't want to invite someone over to watch and they see a barnyard wrestling show shot by some highschool A/V club. It's okay if you are watching old WCW, NWA, etc shows but this is 2004.
