Should TNA go to a 'Big Four' PPV format?

[GameOver]

The problem isn't TNA's number of PPV events. They are doing it right by having one each month. WWE could learn something from that. TNA should instead keep each PPV they have and promote them better. Traveling outside the Impact Zone for all of them would help too. People aren't going to fly out to the Impact Zone just for a PPV if they live out of state. Going to a "Big Four" format would not benefit TNA because at this point they need the money they get from each PPV buy. They are much better off improving their promoting instead of deleting any of their events or adding new ones. Monthly shows with much better promoting will help them tremendously.

what are you trying to say? WWE needs to learn from TNA?
WWE PPV's are once a month, unless it happens that a weekend falls on the start or end of the month and or they can't book an arena for a certain sunday. Regardless they sell enough buyrates, whether it was once a month or 2 a month and they had dedicated 2 a month cause it was 1 for each brand and that was years ago. Though they will likely go that route again.

Personally once a month is great to watch but the leadups and fueds are weak, so it's a tradeoff. and in the case of TNA, Impact usually ends up being more entertaining then the PPV's they are leading too.

TNA cutting back to less wouldn't improve buyrates.
There issues are beyond time needed to build fueds etc.

I think the number of ppvs should be lowered, and not just for TNA. Either 6-8 would be a good number, more people would watch because it would be more economically feasible for more of the population.

In TNA's case, however, I would think that a new creative element would have to be in place before doing this would be relevant. Do you really want to see Russo's chaotic, garbled booking going on for even longer before the ppv changes the players around again? What kind of build-up would we be audience to if they did this? Quality build up? Same old same old build up but for a longer time span?

I think the number of ppvs are outrageous these days. It makes no sense to be paying a 60-120 dollar cable bill a month and then shelling out 50-60 extra bucks for a damn ppv. Especially when the ppvs are becoming almost the same as just another weekly episode. The decline in interest of professional wrestling could also be partly attributed to this. Things are rushed, a lot of times repetitive, and not enough time is given to storylines for people to become emotionally invested in them. Think about tv shows, they go a whole season before having the "season finale" which garners viewing interest in the next season. A lot of shit happens between the season premiere and season finale. And that's the kind of viewpoint that needs to be taken w/professional wrestling as a whole.
