Guest JacK Report post Posted February 7, 2004 What's the dealio? Where'd it go? Having only One two hour PPV a month was a fairly stupid idea to begin with . . . I mean why not have all four? Maybe even wait til the end of the month and show all the shows for a little bit more? I'm guessing they didn't get enough buys here, but who dumped who?

tommytomlin 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2004 Main Event dumped TNA, but it was more of a case of the contract expiring and Main Event not wanting TNA due to lousy buys. I still think a channel like Fox Sports or FOX8 should buy TNA to show for free each week instead of the ridiculous system Main Event used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post Posted February 7, 2004 Ya, I couldn't imagine a show like TNA would get too many buys; I mean for one you'd have to be a net-fan to know what's going on each month; that'd piss off a whole lotta peeps. It'd be mad if they showed it for free each week, but I won't keep my hopes up . . . I doubt they'd want to pay the price TNA would demand, or indeed if it'd be worth it in terms of viewer-ness.

Guest Deviant Report post Posted February 9, 2004 You mean people didn't pay full PPV price for a 2 hour show that was part of a weekly program, while showing none of the other shows? My god, what a shock. Now, I bought every WCW PPV I had access to, and even I didn't buy TNA! If we could get the same scenario as the US, I would have probably bought it every week. But not now though. So Main Event might as well not pay for it, I don't care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dvkorn Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Main Event is the one to blame for the lousy buyrates.... not signing for all the shows each month and barely advertising it in the latter half of the year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Now that I think aboot it, was TNA used as a bargaining chip to get them WWE back? Though in all likelyhood they caved . . . forever caving . . . why can't more Aussies be like Glenn McGrath; he never caves. McGrath - Owns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 FOX8 did show TNA highlights free of charge, however that has been over-run by their new weekend kids morning show featuring Spiderman, Hulk, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers and The Simpsons. I'm ALL FOR that change, baby. Fuck TNA. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
