Not really. They were doing 4 a year a while back, but ever since Spike cancelled them it has been very sporadic. I think they did just two last year that being Slammiversary and Bound for Glory.
Sometimes they have specials that are named after their old PPVs.
They do those One Night Only's because they are contractually forced too.

I remember a time in TNA's history when they had a PPV each month and they had them on the road in bigger arenas that were actually full! That would be 2008 I believe.
It really is sad how TNA has fallen from 10 years ago. I remember watching them rise, and how TNA would celebrate each new accomplishment along with their fans.
Going from weekly PPVs to Fox Sports Net and having monthly PPVs. Going from FSN to Spike TV. Going from Saturday 11 pm on Spike to Thursday at 11 pm on Spike. Going from Thursday 11 pm to Thursday 9 pm. Going from 1 hour to 2 hours. And each time, it was a huge win for TNA and for us fans.
Now they are pretty much on a TV channel that is used for infomercials that hardly anyone even watches anymore. Kind of weird how it all went downhill for them.

I wonder exactly where TNA would be if they'd never brought Hogan and Bischoff into the fold 6 years ago.....

That was THE show to watch at that time period. WWE was at its most unwatchable stale time period since the mid 90s. If TNA wouldve just continued to do what they were doing in during 05-09, They probably wouldve been legit WWE competitors right now. Them moving to Monday night to try and compete with Raw was the big blow that critically injured their company. They had to go back to their old time slot with their tail tucked between their legs and its been a steady down fall since then.

You lose money because lack of revenue. Ratings bring in revenue. TNA has their highest ratings during the Hogan/Bischoff era. While the "original" fans might not like where it went, people were still tuning in.

Hogan was on Busted Open (a wrestling talk show on SiriusXM) while he was in TNA. They asked him about AJ Styles and Hogan said he didn't know who that was. I don't understand how that's even possible.

Same spot. Their problem was Dixie taking over all daily duties and getting rid of Jeff Jarrett. She has no idea how to run a wrestling company. Jeff did.

I don't understand how that's even possible. Because Hogan/Bischoff took the money and ran, duh !!! Dixie did not figure this out until it was too late. But let's be fair tna was always hovering around 1.0 ratings on spike. That was with or without JJ.
