    Okay trust me thsoe ratings are gonna go up. You know many people I’m sure read the spoilers way before. Let’s face it. TNA tapes 4 whole weeks of impact in 2 days. Now with Mondays people will have to tune in!

    Also finally Spike gives them overruns.

    I believe Tna ratings will go up because it will be live and no one will know the results ahead of time.

    The TNA ratings will continue to go down as long as Terry and Eric are running the place. Sting is old but he has way more to offer than Terry or Eric. They are the two that should be released from TNA. With them in charge TNA will go down the crapper just like WCW did when they were there. Dixie get smart and get rid of these two never weres.

    “Dixie get smart and get rid of these two never weres.”

    Bear what are you some 13 yr old kid reading dirt sheets and trying to play now it all now? You seriously gonna call Hogan a never were? The man who made pro wrestling popular in the 80s and 90s?

    Really I think they should have restrictions for the IWC. Anyone with an IQ under 75 can’t become a member

    isn’t ironic how WCW was good during the eric bischoff days when Russo had no power but TNA is the opposite
    oh and on the topic of those names how about doing some research on WCW because it was AOL who ultimately killed WCW not vince russo or eric bischoff or even the WWF no it was the AOL not wanting to have anything to do with pro wrestling also stop using hogan and bischoff as an excuse for bashing TNA because in the end you all wanted TNA to fail even before they came along

    I love how everybody says the ratings will go up because they will be live and nobody can read the spoilers now. Well, the only problem with that is there isn’t a really large circulation of people who come to sites like these to read spoilers for impact. The ratings aren’t going to improve much if at all. TNA is targeting the wrong demographic. They are trying to draw in the Monday night war wrestling fans from the 90s. That is a bad business strategy. The majority of those fans are not going to come back. TNA is in a lot of trouble and they have zero momentum going into Monday. While TNA is making a half a** attempt at getting the monday night war fans back, the WWE is pandering to the younger audiences, and setting up a fan base for the next 10 or 15 years, and with some more than that. TNA is setting themselves up for failure by thinking short term while the WWE is thinking for the long term. This is why the WWE will always be around and TNA will just be a minor blip in wrestling history.

    if i remember correctly tna will tape 2 weeks worth of impact 1 live and 1 taped

    cody I get what you’re trying to say but out 100 kids who are wrestling fans when they were twelve years old how many of them will still be fans when they grow up? when gets kid older and find out its “fake” the don’t want to watch any more because its just not cool to watch wrestling its a valid point but only around 15% of those kids will likely be watching ten years from now

    Well, if they are twelve and don’t know that it’s fake then they already have several problems. An about the 15% that may or may not be true. There is no way of really knowing what exact percentage stays around. Of course not all of them will stay hooked to the product, but it’s also why the WWE continues to go back to marketing towards kids. When one well runs dry what do you do? You start from scratch and dig another one. Which is what they do and will always continue to do. It’s cyclical. I am sure that at some point within the next year or two they will have an edgier product. Then in another 5 or 10 years they will go back and be geared towards kids. That is how an entertainment company such as the WWE stays a float. An that is the exact strategy that TNA lacks and one that will probably ruin them in the long term.

    I’m not rooting against TNA so don’t think that. I am just a realist. I think competition would be healthy, but there will be no competition. TNA is completely backwards in there thinking. The fans they are going after just aren’t interested perido. If they were then they would have already found there way back.

    Hogan didn’t make wrestling popular in the 80s and 90s, Vince McMahon made Hogan popular. Learn how to write correctly.

    I disagree with you bear. Vince McMahon didn’t make Hulk Hogan popular. Did he have a hand in it? Sure he did. However, to act as if he is the one and only reason Hogan became popular is an idiotic statement to make.

    see im only 18 but ive been watching wrestling for 13 of those 18 years and yea its changed quite a bit.but no matter how stupid it might be i still like it..it was something i watched with my dad,it was father/son bonding if you will..now yea im a redneck from the south but that dont make me any different than other fans.and before you people discourage me for my grammatical errors i type like this because i want to so leave me alone..anyways i do miss the way wrestling was back in the day but i will nevr watch tna because its not what i was raised on.but if wcw was still up and runnin id be watchin that still..see thats the way i see it, its my opinion and thats why the comments feature is here.

    Cody the reason Hogan was popular is because idiots like you and edgehead believed everything they read about him. I don’t like Vince McMahon but if you were honest you would admit Vince made Hogan what he is and was.

    Yeah, because when Hogan was in his prime I was 5. So, obviously I went out of my way and read everything I could about Hogan. In all seriousness though. Vince had a hand in it but the majority of why Hogan is so big is the fans. An also Hulk himself. Vince can’t force people to like somebody. Especially the amount of people who enjoyed Hogan. Hogan was a showman and the fans loved that. He knew how to get the people behind him. Vince can only do so much. It is up to each individual wrestler to make it work and get themselves over.
