TV, Ring of Honor getting PPV and more. Here are some highlights:
On TNA's fifth year anniversary:
"It's a big, momentous time for us. There were a lot of naysayers at the very beginning who didn't give us three months to be in business. We have fought and clawed and scratched our way to become a very successful business. It's overwhelming, really."
On if TNA has started to turn a profit:
"We're finally in a situation where we're starting to generate some serious revenue. It's just been through the years of hard work and the combination of different revenue streams. It is our Slammiversary, but it is our 'turning point' pay-per-view, would be apropos at this time for us."
On Spike TV and getting a second hour:
"That's our goal to be at two hours in the fall. I hope it's with Spike, but if not Spike, then something better for the brand. Spike has been a fantastic partner for us. They gave us a shot. We'll never forget that. But we've come in and we've proven ourselves. I hope it is with them. ... We've got to make the right decision for TNA. ... I think we'll know something in the next few months."
On Ring of Honor getting a PPV deal:
"We wish them all the luck in the world, but when they enter into a different side of the business, we no longer can work to the level that we were. We just wish them luck. That does keep us from the exchange of talent that we've had in the past."

We'll see how classy those comments on ROH become when Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Homicide, Samoa Joe, and Chris Sabin head back to a company with an intelligent booker.

You can't compare main stream to wrestling to Indys. So, shut up about it. TNA has to draw ratings & buy rates & please SpikeTV. I'm not sure how you figure that Aries/'Cide/Sabin/Shelley would draw ratings to the causal fan. Joe is about the only person who would be looked at by the causal fan. Indys run monthly shows not on TV nor PPV. They don't have to please noone but themselves, fans & their wrestlers. BIG diffrence. |

If they are built properly anybody can draw ratings, TNA tends to favor the talent up north more then guys who first got main stream attention in TNA that can wrestle AND talk...

I'll laugh so hard if those guys walk when their contract expires. I know Joe has shown he is unhappy with the company, as has Aries so it'll take a total turn around by the company for them to resign. I've heard rumors that since TNA pulled Sabin & Shelley from working PWG, UWA, and even to a point ROH that they were unhappy but Homicide has never really shown signs of being unhappy in TNA other than his early days when he was jobbing to the James Gang. Homicide has always been about being in the promotion that has the most exposure. Thats why he put ROH before JAPW and thats why he puts TNA before ROH. |

You can't compare main stream to wrestling to Indys. So, shut up about it. I'd love to inform you that ROH has now gone mainstream and has guys locked up in contracts varying between 1 and 4 years. Not to forget they also have PPV's beginning July 1, 2007 on your local cable television company. TNA has to draw ratings & buy rates & please SpikeTV. I'm not sure how you figure that Aries/'Cide/Sabin/Shelley would draw ratings to the causal fan. Joe is about the only person who would be looked at by the causal fan. Indys run monthly shows not on TV nor PPV. They don't have to please noone but themselves, fans & their wrestlers. BIG diffrence. ROH runs weekly, they have deals with NOAH and Dragon Gate for their wrestlers to tour Japan. Let's not forget FIP which is also under the ROH umbrella. Aries, Shelley, Sabin, & Joe are not happy in TNA. They can make an equal living working for the ROH/NOAH/DG/FIP/IWA MS/PWG/UWA companies and be booked in a more appropriate manner. Homicide is the only one who right now isn't miserable, but when his deal is up, ROH will be tossing the same amount of money at him, if not more then he could be making in TNA. Getting the chance to know those guys on a personal level provides a very different perspective then you would have. I'll laugh so hard if those guys walk when their contract expires. I know Joe has shown he is unhappy with the company, as has Aries so it'll take a total turn around by the company for them to resign. I won't be laughing, I'll be sad for TNA to have screwed up so bad. I've heard rumors that since TNA pulled Sabin & Shelley from working PWG, UWA, and even to a point ROH that they were unhappy but Homicide has never really shown signs of being unhappy in TNA other than his early days when he was jobbing to the James Gang. Homicide has always been about being in the promotion that has the most exposure. Thats why he put ROH before JAPW and thats why he puts TNA before ROH. Homicide right now is happy with his current spot, but he'd rather get a shot at being on top, which he'll never have in TNA. When his deal is up, ROH will be offering him a chance to sign and come home. He'll have a tough choice to make, but that choice will be made a lot easier when he sees where ROH is at that point. |

Trying to talk about what you don't know and then actually trying to justify it is in fact intellectually- disabled. Every DVD is not $20, sales are going on all the time. |

I didn't even say anything... I just made a mistake about them now running weekly. Excuse me.. I didn't even say anything about ROH untill then. All I said was:
You can't compare main stream to wrestling to Indys. So, shut up about it.
TNA has to draw ratings & buy rates & please SpikeTV. I'm not sure how you figure that Aries/'Cide/Sabin/Shelley would draw ratings to the causal fan.

What are you talking about? Seriously, that doesn't mention ROH because like stated to me before ROH isn't Indy. It's becoming main stream. All, I said is that Aries/'Cide/Sabin/Shelley wouldn't draw ratings to the causal fan for TNA. I didn't even bring up ROH in that because I said "Indys run monthly shows not on TV nor PPV. ROH has PPV now. So, I don't see where you people got ROH out that. These guys in TNA have plenty more promotions out there to work for. I know they loved the promotions they can't work for anymore. But, it shows that TNA sees them as a threat. That's why they pulled them. They can go work IWA-DS, IWA-MS, FIP, stuff like that wasn't on the list. That's all I'm saying.. I'm not trying to start a fight or nothing. Just giving my two cents just like everyone else..

All, I said is that Aries/'Cide/Sabin/Shelley wouldn't draw ratings to the causal fan for TNA. I didn't even bring up ROH in that because I said "Indys run monthly shows not on TV nor PPV. ROH has PPV now. So, I don't see where you people got ROH out that. We people got ROH out of it, because those guys do not like working in TNA and want out. They'd be heading to ROH because they don't run monthly, have connections to PPV, Japan, and Europe. These guys in TNA have plenty more promotions out there to work for. I know they loved the promotions they can't work for anymore. But, it shows that TNA sees them as a threat. TNA right now is so clueless, they don't really understand threats and non-threats. They seem to be content do nothing to establish anyone and it's going to run them out of business. That's why they pulled them. They can go work IWA-DS, IWA-MS, FIP, stuff like that wasn't on the list. That's all I'm saying.. I'm not trying to start a fight or nothing. Just giving my two cents just like everyone else.. They pulled them because TNA's people didn't like it that fans identified Joe, Homicide, & Aries as well as Chris Daniels as ROH guys and not TNA guys. The deal for Aries & Homicide was they could remain in ROH but not be shown on PPV. TNA got jealous, of ROH. Joe told them to go  themselves and he tried to get out of his deal. He couldn't and TNA is holding him hostage. The rosie feeling of the TNA fans for this company is what people are objecting about. We also said you were intellectually- disabled for arguing about ROH running 'monthly.' |
