So, the WWE offered him more money before, and he went to TNA...
So, suddenly TNA can't compete with the WWE when they offer more money? Do you realize how stupid your comment is?
Which was the absurdly fucking stupid part. Please pay closer attention.
Errr does everything have to be explained to you, do you have no initiative?
1)Christian left WWE to go to TNA because he wanted to hold a world title, he has stated this many times and it was a good career move, many people agreed with him even inside WWE.
2)Christian now is of the opinion that if he wants a secure financial future he needs to leave TNA, WWE have far greater financial resources so they can offer him a far superior contact
The simple fact is that TNA made little effort to re-sign him.
How do you know? We're you sat in on the contract negotiations they had with him? Or is that just a ridicolous assertion? Prehaps he didnt want to stay in TNa any longer, there have been numerous articles about him been unhappy with creative direction in TNA. And of course there are other pull factors i.e money, better workers, loyalty to the company that gave him his break etc.
Between Sting and Angle alone, that's probably close to 1.5 million dollars. Add in guys like Booker, Mick Foley, Jarrett, and you're looking at 2.5 million dollars. Throw in the rest of the roster, and you're looking at millions upon millions of dollars.
Probably? Lets deal in fact, WWE has greater resources than TNA. They have a larger wage bill, they pay talent more. Therfore its almost certain that WWE offered a better contract that TNA was unable to compete with I don't know how you can deny the fact. Besides like I said above, maybe he didnt want to stay in TNA?
He WAS given a chance, and he bombed. He was given a chance in TNA, and bombed there as well.
What in one PPV match as the third memeber in a triple threat match? Please, you cannot deny that he was getting a good reaction from the crowd once he adopted his 'captain charisma' persona, he was getting similar reaction to Orton now, no joke.
Also in what way is getting record ratings and PPV buys (Destination X '07) bombing? He did well in TNA, it was the most entertaining TNa has EVER been when he was champion.
1) TNA doesn't release PPV buyrates.
Not offical ones but estimates...
December 2006: 35,000 buys for Turning Point (Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle)
January 2007: 34,000 buys for Final Resolution (Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle)
February 2007: 23,000 buys for Against All Odds (Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage)
March 2007: 36,000 buys for Destination X (Samoa Joe vs. Christian)
April 2007: 35,000 buys for Lockdown (Team Angle vs. Team Cage)
May 2007: 21,000 buys for Sacrifice (Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Christian Cage)
June 2007: 22,000 buys for Slammiversary (King of the Mountain)
July 2007: 15,000 buys for Victory Road (Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle vs. Team 3D)
August 2007: 26,000 buys for Hard Justice (Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle)
September 2007: 17,000 buys for No Surrender (Kurt Angle vs. Abyss)
October 2007: 36,000 buys for Bound For Glory (Sting vs. Kurt Angle)
November 2007: 27,000 buys for Genesis (Sting and Booker T vs. Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash)
2) Ratings did NOTHING during his time as champion, unless Sting was there to draw for him.
Are you trying to suggest that there was not a significant notable improvement in the ratings when he started challanging for the the title and when he held the title the second time? Look at the '06 ratings compared to '07.
