why is it most TNA ppv are in the same arena as they're tv show? to me this cheapens the product and hurts the feel of the ppv.
my main thought is that the UK gets TNA ppv for free, so where they aren't getting the money from us, they can't afford to expand as much for the non-big ppv events by hosting it in larger arenas.
any input into this?

I don't care where the arena is, I just care that the ppv was good and the matches were decent.

Although it greatly annoys me they use the iMPACT Zone, That doesn't take away from the fact that the majority of TNA's PPVs from this year beat WWE's who were in huge arenas and that no matter where the show was, it was still great.

It really doesn't matter. IF the fans are hot (See Austin Aries vs Roode, Destination X) then who cares if they are in the Impact Zone?
If you had watched LockDown this year, you would of seen that even if they're in the home town of the guy in the Main Event, a crowd can still suck.

TNA can't afford to take so many risks and move out of the IMPACT Zone frequently.

TNA can't afford to take so many risks and move out of the IMPACT Zone frequently. They actually can they just choose not to for some reason. And as for PPV's being in the iMPACT Zone they've done that for past years on some PPV's. |

QFT. Give me several of TNA's PPVs this year like Destination X, BFG or Turning Point over WWE's WM. |

Slightly off topic but still ppv related so i guess it won't hurt...what are TNA's "big 4" ? i'm trying to cut down my spending on my wrestling hobby for personal reasons and i'm thinking of only collecting the really important ppv's from now on instead of buying whatever dvd i run into, it would save a ton of space and money. for wwe it's obviously the rumble, summerslam,survivor series and wrestlemania but what are tna's equevalants(sp?) ? I know BFG is their wrestlemania and slammiversary is a big one, but after that all the others seem to be on the same level of (non)-importance...is destination x still a big deal ? or is lockdown considered more important ? or some other ppv i'm missing ? Thanks for any help.  |

I would imagine destination X & Lockdown as the other big ones. Genesis is usually made to be a big deal too

Thanks for any help. Bound For Glory, Lockdown, and Slammiversary for sure take up 3 of those 4 spots. As for the fourth, I think you can argue it being either Destination-X or No Surrender. Destination-X for the X-Division Championship cash in, or No Surrender for the conclusion of the BFG Series. |

TNA has a big 3. BFG, Lockdown and Slammiversary. Destination X, No Surrender and Genesis are usually pretty big too.

When you overpay your talent, have poor writing(Dave Lagana) and don't know how to book wrestling you don't make enough money to go on the road in big arenas. I'm amazed the UK is such a killer market for TNA considering how uninterested us Americans are.

I still think TNA has a formula that works. They haven't really increased attendance at BFG over the last several years so they have no real evidence that opening it up to more destination PPVs would work. I think their goal should be to fill a 5-10,000 seat arena for Slammiversary, Lockdown and BFG. They can always work in other PPVs if they can or feel it will work, but doing the PPVs out of Universal is going to allow them to make the most money off what they are doing.
Nothing is lost by having smaller PPVs in the Impact Zone other than the "regulars" who can sort of mess with the reaction at times. I think TNA's PPV quality has been exceptionally high this year and there hasn't been a PPV I have ordered from them this year where I didn't feel like I got my moneys worth.
