It's called "building". You can't go to a city and do a ppv (outside of a high school gym) if you haven't tested out the market yet. That's what TNA is doing with their house shows. Once they get their names and see what markets have interest, they can expand their pay per views like they are slowly doing.
The first TNA shows that were going to be held here in Mexico sold like 200 tickets, for 4 shows in different places... the prices were cut with 50% and got a second 20% off... ringside was like $22 dlls and they couldn't sell more... all of the shows were canceled... nobody cares about TNA here... WWE almost sellouts 2 palacio de los deportes (like 15000 ticks each night)
As far as people hating on Steiner, please!!!!
That man is a bonafied champion, I'm suprised he's just now getting into the title picture.
You haters can say what you want, but Scott Steiner's still the man
I guess he is still A man... he's never got a sex change...
If Ric Flair can wretle for some 40-50 odd years, then Steiner's got at least 20 more years. Hogan, here's another old man, and neither one of them still has the build of a Scott Steiner, let alone the attitude.
Similarities between Hogan, Flair and Steiner:
-all of them are wrestlers, blonde, old, wrestled for WCW and WWE at one point of their careers, they all sucked at one point wrestling in RAW
Differences between them
-Flair is gold on the mic, so Hogan is pretty good, Steiner can barely speak
-Flair was at one point a good in ring performer, hogan was terrible but funny, Steiner has always been meh...
-Flair got a big crowd reaction even on his last horrible matches... Hogan still gets a huge pop for just appearing... Steiner just lacks charisma...
-Hogan and Flair meant ratings some years ago... Steiner means just nostalgia...
-Hogan and Flair are two of the biggest of all time... Steiner... well is Scott Steiner...
Also, Flair and Hogan doesn't have the build Steiner has because they are around their 60s... Steiner is like 44-45... attitude?? wearing glasses to the ring mean attitude???
and for the record, Sting is an Icon regarless of what anyone thinks or says, that man is another bonafied champion! He was the franchise player in WCW and he gets ratings!
He is one of the big stars of all time... maybe triple H level... big, but never one of the biggest... and he doesn't get ratings... nowadays nobody gets ratings by themselves... unless is Angelina Love and Velvet Sky kissing and rubbing against each other...
It's a damn shame that the WWE has all those wrestlers and can't even put together a resonable storyline that would catch even the most casual wrestling fan.
And the impact zone is full of casual wrestling fans... right???
Now ask yourself, how many ex WWE wrestlers on TNA are doing better for themselves (ie. Christian, Rhino, etc)
Just Christian... all of the rest were bigger on WCW, ECW or WWE... who got over there, is getting over now... the others just suck and they will suck for ever... matt morgan?? black reign???
I predict that TNA will be as large as WWE within 5 years, now can you dig that?
I predict that there will be a storyline, where Jeff Jarret acts like triple H, Impact will be renamed SmackRAW or something like that... and TNA will still get low ones for ratings... while Raw stays in the low 3s, smackdown in the high 1s, and ECW got cancelled...
BTW Spawn answered my questions but squashed my opinions... at least he agreed there are a lot of promos during Impact...
