Goodbye To The Impact Zone?

[cinderboy]

They need to solve the over-flooding amount of wrestlers in the company first before contemplating about relocating. Can't they see they have signed too many old-school wrestlers ? Not saying that its a bad thing, they should re-allocate their finances to a new show and keep their wrestlers happy first.

They have been talking bad about WWE in the dark with hints here and there, but somehow I don't see how TNA is being any better.

The Paramount Theater in NYC? isn't that where they used to have a lot of ECW events?

Before TNA thinks about moving studios, get rid of the floating dead weight. Shark Boy, Jay Lethal, Lacey Von Erich, and so many more wrestlers that just stand there. When was the last time we saw Jesse Neal in an actual match? Lets cut costs and get rid of all the dead weight first. Nasty Boys were a great way to start. I like Hogan and all, but quit putting the horse before the cart. There are WAY too many obstacles weighing down this company before they can think about moving the who she-bang to a new fancier studio just so Hogan and Bishoff can say "FU" to McMahon. Even if they did, I really doubt McMahon would care that they get a studio in the NY area. Look at how many people are seen on a regular basis, then count the number of people on their roster, it is WAY too inefficient cost wise to have THAT many people if you are using them on a regular basis, a new studio won't help profit wise either.

So I was flipping between Impact and RAW tonight, and Impact really needs to start touring the country, or at least get a bigger venue. It looks so second rate compared to RAW. Such a small ring, small venue, small crowd, which doesn't seem very loud.

If it's financially worthy, do it... would make absolutely no sense to say in Orlando inside of a theme park.

I think the smarter thing would be to slowly have PPVs become the touring places.. maybe keep one or two for the Orlando fans but 10 a year should be on the road in the biggest cities.

The risk is you have an arena that is empty but lockdown did pretty well and it felt a shit load more legit.

Let me say one thing, i prefer the TNA asylum to be better than the iMPACT zone, and also they need to move out of universal studios, they should go to the ballroom in new york, great wrestling crowds, isn't that where wwe used to have their weekly ppv's back in the 70', 80's etc.

They should move every season, in the summer, hit california, get a contract for a nice small arena, build the fans, and then the next season hit new york, also build in Europe, they will never max out a football stadium obviously, but in small arena's, must be better that being cramped in the impact zone every week.

they need to go to the nyc,philly area and cater to ecw,wcw and wwe fans that has obliviously left or has never jumped on the wwe bandwagon when those to companies went out of business .and they need to start making better decisions .if they do then as fans we could be on to something diffrent old school and special the talent is there and more on the open market they need to take advantage of it.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm not sure what came of this, but as I said then, I'll repeat now – the greatest step toward success will come via leaving Orlando and either touring (even if it's small-time) or establishing a new semi-permanent home for iMPACT! in a market much more suited to support it in the North East.

Not only will the market be much more rich in wrestling history and potential, but by moving iMPACT! to somewhere that is not Universal Studios property, you will gain revenue from ticket sales and actually be able to gauge how well your product and your stars are doing when they are booed or cheers by real fans – not the same spoiled smarks who destroy your show every week.

TNA to NYC good or bad depends

1- How much will they charge? They got to charge enough to make the bills but not to much to get the wrestling fans to even buy them.

2- Booking they got to watch hot shot booking but they need to keep as interesting as possible.

3- Story line they need to step up and stop bein so obvious on what story they r stealin from. ALso bring in new writers the were never used in wrestling atleast but life long wrestling fans.

4- They need to stop worrying bout WWE and only think bout TNA.

Another thing that will help them is if they offer packages where they will give tickets or tickets/back stage pass plus a room for the night. The reason we I say that is they will be in the Tri-State Area and that will get the ppl from Pa and NJ to see it more likely.
