After seeing a photo of like 500 people at their tapings I'm now convinced that TNA stands for "There's No Audience"
Why wont they just go back to the little druggie place they were in earlier? Gave a little indy feel to it.

I watched TNA last night. Its been a couple weeks since I have tried watching it but its unbearable now. I was falling asleep and it took 37 minutes until they got into the first match. I just cant do it. Almost as unbearable as battleground.

I think tna would do better staying in a more wrestling interested region Luke the northeast. Establish a fanbase there the. Make trips once in awhile outside the region

For the amount of attendees, they sounded pretty lively on my television set. Especially for Sting, Hardy, and when Angle's music hit - the place lit up. Unfortunately, I don't encourage the "Hogan" chants - as chanting that, only lets the office know people still want Hulk - despite the fact he wasn't contributing anything financially to the company other than licensed items at ShopTNA.
Back on topic, I don't know what tickets go for but if they're charging over $20 a seat, they outta bump it down. Sometimes you can garner better business with lower prices, admission is no exception. And advertising helps, like with a Street Team or if TNA hired a promotional advertiser with funds for TV & radio ads. You could have the greatest product in the world, but without advertising and noone knowing about it, you ain't going to make a dime!

I actually really like the show. Some of you guys are just coming across as hateful jerks - why don't you just do something else with your lives?

Skip, skip, skip, watch 30 seconds, skip, skip. End of show. Really not a fan of TNA and honestly, not even Ambrose could change that. |

Oh and the Divas matches are must-see aswell. |

The worse thing TNA did was leave Nashville. The Orlando fan base was like 70% wrestling fan, 30% people who were visiting Orlando. At least when they were in Nashville the entire fan base was there for wrestling.

TNA could've had a much bigger crowd in Tulsa. Unfortunately, it seems like they've given up on the advertising side now. It's a shame considering how well they did their first few tapings.

There's not that much to see nowadays (in my opinion). Also, they've had a terrible reputation these past several months...

I believe that TNA does have an audience. The problem is, their audience is not big enough to fill the arenas TNA always go for. I feel they should go for smaller arenas for their TV shows, but then again, a lot of their house shows as well barely draw 500 people on average. That pic of the arena that night, it was horrible to see that they barely filled 50% of the arena last Thursday, and imagine how the arena will look next week since they taped the show. I'm willing to bet that 15-20% of that audience probably left after the live show. IMO, they made a big mistake leaving Universal Studios. Sure it might have been good for them to expand their audience and go to other places for their TV, but if they're losing money because going on the road costs a lot of money between the arena rentals and the cost of traveling, plus the fact that they barely fill up the arenas they go to, I would rather have them stay at Universal than going on the road.

They just have all there shows in Philly at the national guard armory like how ECW used to have all there shows in Philly at the old 'arena'. Philly indie fans are great and ROH proved that its still the case at Death Before Dishonor XI. TNA could really establish a huge fan base in Philly. Either do that or have it at Hammerstein ball room. I hate how big the venues are for TNA because it just looks like a replica WWE and they can't even fill it up.
Philly and TNA would be a perfect match for what TNA needs and is looking for.

Its kinda true, have you seen the pictures of the almost empty arena's of TNA? You would be amazed. Like 400 people show up. And TNA is supposed to be the #2 wrestling company in America. NXT sadly packs more of a crowd than TNA. And thats a developmental show. |
