Impact Support Club House

I've heard of Tout five times. Four times on WWE and this one time now.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm really enjoying the "Impact 365" segments. You get to know more about the wrestler, it gives you a reason to care about/hate them and is a pretty good filler for non-wrestling parts of the show. There wasn't much wrestling this past week but these segments and the backstage occurrences were short and developed storylines. This is a small usage of YouTube and it's working so well, who needs Tout?

TNA are owning YouTube content. They just sent out some presser a few days ago noting that they'd surpassed multiple companies in content views.

Thanks to our incredible fans, today the TNA Impact Wrestling YouTube channel has exceeded 500 million views, beating other popular YouTube channels such as UFC, NHL, MLB, NASCAR, MLS, WNBA, Marvel, CNN and Fox to the milestone.

Launched in 2006, TNA Impact Wrestling is now the top-ranked wrestling promotion and the fourth most viewed sports producer by video views on YouTube.* In addition, the channel ranks 39 in the YouTube top 100 most-subscribed sports channels, joining other notable brands such as NBA, UFC and ESPN.

In 2013, views of TNA Impact Wrestling on YouTube surpassed 120 million for the year with 48 million in the United States, and millions of additional views across the globe, including the United Kingdom, India, Australia and Japan.

This Willow shizz is pretty exciting, right? I mean, I had no idea who it was until I saw in the TNA section. Until I saw Impact today I thought "Willow" was this gal:

I like the idea of having Knockouts involved in storylines with male superstars; it gives them something to do and shows of their talent. Even if they don't wrestle that much. Tessmacher was involved with Bully for a bit, ODB and Eric Young, there's Christy and Samuel Shaw and now Velvet-Aries-Sabin-that lady on steroids.

Alpha Female - German girl with 13 years wrestling experience and many title runs on the European circuit. Well enough known to have guested on "A League Of Their Own". Coupled with the signing of the Wolves and Extreme Tiger and things really are looking interesting in TNA.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Apart from her and Tapa, I REALLY like all the girls in TNA.

 

[Cereal Killer]

I think I remember her from last year. There were these specials on Challenge showing the stars' journey's and their opinions on the UK tour. There was a small part where they showed future GutCheck competitors and I think that's where I saw her. However, she was the only one that got positive feedback. D-Lo, who took care of that stuff at the time swore at somebody and told him to piss off from the ring. Roode and Kazarian were spectating.

 

[Lowdown]

I'm willing to give the Alpha broad a chance before passing a judgement. Right now she seems way more intimidating than Tapa.

Probably because she's not wearing an evening gown and a Foxy-Cleopatra-sized wig.

You guys think any good can come of Gunner announcing his cash-in of his briefcase? I'm really digging his flashbackey army character.

With Samoa Joe challenging at Lockdown, I don't think they'll give the strap to Gunner and I don't think he's ready for it either.

With the supposed face turns of Roode and C3PO they'll need some new heels. That may be Storm as a result of jealousy by helping Magnus out next week. Gunner vs Storm at LockDown maybe?

Solid words from Magnus here. His corporate champion character is developing beautifully and his mic work is improving a lot.

Meanwhile, outside the ring...

[Cereal Killer]

Yeah I was looking for that, I saw it on Wrestle talk TV last week (the show where Hart gave Taker and Trips a 4/10). He knows a lot about the industry and is extremely dedicated in improving his character. There was a lot more to that interview. Here's another part:

I didn't know how to get it out of the playlist by the way.

Hey, Joe, looky here:

Well, I don't watch WWE often because it's dull and boring. I'd much rather watch Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and the Wolves do their thing in TNA.

From what little I've seen of Cesaro is he's a one hit wonder. He's just hits variations of a lame, unbelievable uppercut. Boring!!!!!!!!!

Everyone knows Orton will retain at the Elimination chamber due to the WWE's horrific booking lately anyways....SMH.

At first I thought it was you trolling, but the real Joe wouldn't not sport his IS tags.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Yea definitely not me I enjoy WWE for the most part

Don't hurt me guys

 

[Cereal Killer]

Any of you guys getting the network?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

IMPACT looks great tonight.

 

[Cereal Killer]

Yep, The Wolves vs Bad Influence alone makes it exciting.

Also, Thursday night wars coming up? I know nobody watches Superstars but NXT on the other hand is on at the same time as the second hour of TNA. They should make sure that the first hour is pretty solid to keep those viewers but either way, I doubt the majority will switch to NXT.

IDR, I'm guessing that's a no.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

What channel is NXT even on?

 

[Cereal Killer]

The WWE network. If you think about it, you could have both on at the same time because one's on TV and the other's online. Again, the ratings won't be affected for the most part but I reckon that's what they're trying to do.

What, for WWE Network? No interest. Only thing I'm interested in is old WCW content.

Yeah that's what I was going to say. Watching the older product you used to when you were about my age. I mean it's worth it and there's that documentary regarding the wars.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

What's the price tag on WWE Network?

 

[Cereal Killer]

$9.99 a month but there's a 6 month commitment. You don't pay $60 all at once though, it's still a monthly thing.
