TNA does have faults. They have a very dumb staff and their president is too damn nice a woman to run a wrestling company. That kind of stuff no one can deny. But at the same time you gotta wonder on just what were Spike TV putting money besides contracts for Sting, Angle and Hogan. Because it sure as hell wasn't to get TNA on the road. Matter of fact, it blows my mind that it took them 8 years to ditch the Impact Zone.
Why did TNA and Spike not catch lightning in the hand and hit the road in 2007 when Angle turned the company over it's head? Or in 2008 when the MEM came in? Or in 2010 when Hogan was rising? Because they were too busy thinking about the potential gain of another Monday Night War. Think about it. 2010 was the only year Spike ever yielded a second time slot to TNA. But yet they still could not get on the road.
I'm not truly aware as to how the deal with Spike goes, but to my suspect Spike simply did not want to move equipment for TNA's sake. TNA was doing enough for Spike TV so no money was ever injected to take Impact on the road. Where real revenue would come from. And like it's already said, TNA was chored with commercializing Deadliest Warrior, Bellator and other shit but did you hear about Impact during any of those shows? Rarely. A small bumper and that was it for the alleged flagship show. Regardless of how you spin it, it's careless business on Spike's fault.
But you know what pisses me off the most? Impact is homeless, WWE got lowballed, ROH is an hour barely goes nowhere with it but fucking American Ninja Warrior is on every Goddamn night. What in the fuck?!
