Fans loved it. WTF happened to it? The Knockouts are nothing like they were five years ago or so. Now they barely get used and, like it or not, some of TNA's highest ratings numbers has been Knockouts matches, so why not go with it?
In this respect they are following the WWE mold where nothing seems to matter other than the World heavyweight title. Dunno', but I used to love watching wrestling back in the day because there was a variety of what you would see and TNA has seemed to go farther andf farther from that as the years have worn on and that's what everyone loved about TNA back in the day because it was different.
If they could find that fine line between the two era's of the company, it would work out for them and help out with ratings. Joined: Dec 7, Messages: 3, Likes Received: 2, TNA is fine. They are still on TV and have gone from taped to live while moving in to a more competitive time slot even though original programming like BBT and 30 Rock are back new.
These things cost money and the money must be coming from some where. Just build some new real face super stars and the audience will grow. Tough guys with charisma, wittiness and a sense of humor. Easier said than done but not impossible. Mustang Sally likes this. Joined: Sep 18, Messages: 3, Likes Received: 2, Do we really need more threads to validate TNA's existance?
It gets passable ratings, right? It gets PPV buyrates, right? It's got a good roster, right? Quality TV, right? Then why do people talk like if it was a sinkhole of money and such? It's not. It's doing OK. Why the hell worry so much? Who gives a damn if WWE is doing better?

Which was pretty much the statement: "Wrestling just isn't cool anymore. The bigger reality is that television is simply a much more over-saturated market.
There is no great demand for TNA, because there is no great demand for professional wrestling among all the other sources of entertainment out there. Look at Thursday night's alone.
And that's just comedy night in America; if they were competing on Mondays against the NFL, they'd be dead in the water. But it's not just TNA that isn't in high demand. THe only reason WWE is still doing decent cable ratings is that they're a household name. They've been around for so long, people tune in every Monday Night. You think they remember Kurt Angle, and check to see what he's up to these day? And WWE is even doing shitty.
Their stocks have sucked for years, and financial experts are saying that their investments will tank in the next two to three years. I guess they're paying twice as much out in investments as they're pulling in annually? THat's kind of a problem. THe NFL happens every year it almost didn't happen last year, but whatever. WWE cable ratings are hitting all-time lows, and they've lost their second and third biggest challengers: Two and a Half Men, and House. One went to Thursdays, and the other ended last season.
The Monday TV block is absolutely pathetic right now - probably the weakest it's ever been - and WWE is still pulling in less than a 3. There is no demand for pro wrestling. It's just there, it has its fans, and it allows for sustainability. But I doubt it will boom again.
I don't think people want it, and I don't think there's a big enough re-capturable audience to be "cool" like it was with the nWo and the start of the Attitude Era. They certainly don't believe it's real anymore, like they did in the 80's and early 90's.
