raven to win belt tomorrow?

[syxx2001 0]

- Jeff Jarrett said when he defeated Ron "The Truth" Killings for the NWA TNA World Championship, it was one his lifelong goals and he had reached one of his destinys of his career. While he feels that every title defense is important, the one with Raven is the most important because Raven wants to fufill his destiny just like Jarrett did. Raven has laid out a plan and it has been working thus far, and Jarrett feels that he has his work cut out for him. Jarrett said when you hold the World Title, you have an X on your chest and on your back because you don't know who your friends and who your foes are.

 

- When asked about bringing in older talents who some might be consider to be washed up, Jarrett said they have a mixture of talent, just like a football team or a movie. They have some young guys, some veterans, and people in between. He feels that they have a good balance of talent, such guys from the X-Divison that counter the ECW Extreme guys. When asked if Jerry Lynn might join the Extreme stable, he doesn't think the Extreme style of wrestling plays to Jerry Lynn's strengths, just like the technical side doesn't play to Sandman's strengths.

 

- He said one of the unique things about NWA TNA is that you only have to devote two hours a week to the show, where in WWE and WCW you would have to watch four hours of wrestling a week plus the monthly PPV shows, and TNA is something good to watch and follow for people who don't have a lot of spare time.

 

- Another advantage of watching TNA is that you get eight hours of television a week for the same price as getting a monthly WWE PPV. Jarrett said that TNA offeres wrestling, promos, sit-down interviews, and many other things wrapped into one package every Wednesday night.

 

- As far as a television deal goes, TNA officials have been in contact with various companies, but they have a current business plan that doesn't involve television at this moment. Jarrett feels that they are doing well enough right now where they don't have to take a risk such as moving to television. He said that they are so many factors in getting a television deal, and they are taking things one day at a time. He talked about how TNA has evolved in the past several months, and will continue to grow with each show.

 

- Jarrett talked about how his family's involvement in the wrestling business goes back three generations, starting with his grandmother who did everything the business accept wrestle and referee. He compared themselves to WWE by saying that they have the knowledge on how to run a wrestling business and how to target their audience, unlike other wrestling promotions that have tried to start up since WCW died.

 

- Jarrett said that the fans today are much more understandable, knowledgeable and impatient because they are educated on the business in a good way, not in a bad way as some people might think. They are very demanding about the product and it gives great feedback on what they have to do to improve themselves.

Those two statemetns contradict themselves.

It's a typo. It's actually 8 hours a month.

 

3 hour WWE ppv: 35 dollars

 

8 hours (4 weeks) of TNA: 40 dollars.

 

Surprisingly...they do a really poor job getting that point accross.
