I feel like TNA just has a base audience that will watch whatever they put on every week because for whatever reason they just like TNA and/or have a habit of it.
The whole VPN->US Server thing may end up being a huge deal, both in terms of unexpected revenue and server strain.
Well the first hour of Arrival overlapped TNA and the ratings are some of their lowest ever. Could be a little overlap in the audience, depends how many TNA viewers are ex WCW fans who might have signed up to the Network.
Edit: I mean Impact's Adults 18-49 rating was 0.2 or lower. Normally it is around 0.4 I think.
- 06/02 - 0.5 18-49 / 1.48m
- 13/02 - 0.33 18-49 / 1.09m
- 20/02 - 0.2 18-49 / ???? (possibly as low as 0.8)
There's gotta be a reason for an almost 20% drop last week. Can you blame the Olympics?
It was even slightly worse this week.
Spring Stampede 99 has an awesome Juvi vs Blitzkrieg match as well.

Also needs to be noted about TNA is that the rating in the key demo (18-49) was about as bad as it has ever been for them.

Really great work. Iv'e been waiting to finally got the Nash botch in HD.
To be fair, it was Show's fault for suggesting the finish.
Nash just wanted to hit him with a pot of coffee.
The toy belt version of it is surprisingly solid. Well worth 16 bucks off of Amazon. I was looking at the WWE belt and it looked like garbage. Big Gold Belt all the way.
I watched Flair having the real Big Gold in MSG earlier and then I saw Orton with the WHC on the Smackdown pre show. Shit looks so cheap compared to the real deal.

WrassleGAF is "BETTER THAN BOOTISTA" *clap clap clap*
Oh yeah Iv'e seen an interview where they asked him about it, he'd managed to hit Giant with it before but he'd put on a lot of weight since then so Nash wasn't so keen to do it.
lol, WHAT
He did it about a year earlier I think and fell over in pain and fucked his back up. Show put on a solid 80 pounds since the first time they tried it.
Reigns with that generic babyface grin, damn it. It seems they won't let you be a face without that.
Ambrose is getting more and more crazy as time goes by, I love it. Rollins as the moderator also seems appropriate. I'll be sad when they break up.

Yea it was SuperBrawl the year before I think (97), I remember thinking man even Nash killed himself doing it!!! like it was the most devastating thing ever lol.
Puts into perspective Goldberg Jackhammering even fat The Giant.
Nash did say that he fucked up his back more than the botch fucked up Giant. Between Giant and Mabel I amazed Nash still has a spine to be honest.

there's so much good Shield material left, and so little time for them to use it
I would be perfectly happy if they were a team for another two years. or at least bros for life
"I just went to the zoo, it's a llama" goddamn it I want more
I suppose in the event none of them actually get released or something, we'll probably see a Shield reunion in 5 years.
First one. The second one wasn't amazing bar the 2 main events for me.
Just started the first. Jericho v Storm. Fuck yes
Roman Reigns and Jason Jordan to headline WM45.
I was going to write this elaborate joke post about how Jason Jordan is going to end up being the biggest star from the Shield despite currently not being in the Shield but fuck it.
Russo was such a mark for that guy.
After getting rudely interrupted by the fiance ("I don't want to watch this"), BACK TO SUMMERSLAM 98!
Am I a bad person for loving that Owen Hart-Ken Shamrock Lion's Den match and being annoyed that UFC's prominence today would make that sort of match feel too gimmicky today, because Lesnar murdering dudes in that strange cage would just be swell
EDIT: I know Dragonzord took care of this the other day, but holy motherfuck the Outlaws were over.
DOUBLE EDIT: 15 years ago, those unprotected headshots with cooking pans were awesome. Today, I kinda hate myself for having liked them once.

Figure Four Newsletter:
Ugh, stop making me believe in bullshit dirtsheets.
I promised that I would buy Mania if Bryan main-evented but I'm to afraid to spend the money and then have Baptista go over. Honestly, I would rather not have him in there so I wouldn't have false hopes.
Also, does that mean Shield isn't breaking up yet? Awesome news even if that tag match isn't very interesting without Bray.
You mean the Juicerweight title. It would be a good reward for Bryan after all.

I swear its gonna be days after WM and the dirtsheets will still be trying to get me to believe Daniel Bryan is somehow gonna be in the main event of WM30.
Just stop it! :'(

Bring it back!
Imagine it just breaking into the Network's live channel at random times. Like 4 in the morning we get a cut from an ECW TV to someone getting jumped in a hotel with a ref and a cameraman.
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
It would be like that shit Chuck Taylor does on instagram (or vine?).
Edit: Just got to this part in the Powerbombcast
I want them to move into the APA phase of their evolution. Just have them playing Settlers of Catan or some shit backstage and have random superstars pay for their services.
I just don't want them to break up.
The network is well worth your money dude. Really no reason not to get it.
They don't need to break up. I don't know what WWE's obsession is with breaking up teams/stables.
Why can't they just be a great stable for years instead of breaking up and fading into obscurity
Shut up and take my 6 month commitment.
The Hardcore title is and was stupid. Keep it shelved.
They should add the TV title which would be defended with a max time limit of 10-15 minutes. There's a lot you can do with that type of stipulation. And they of course should add a Cruiserweight belt if they can scrounge up enough talent.

Been working fine for me for two days now really, no problems at all.
They have to set up an actual 3 man division to stop these random teams like Daniel Bryan and the Usos... which I actually expect to be good, but there's too much "here, let's put these 3 dudes together and let them fight the Shield or the Wyatts."
And then it goes nowhere. After RR Cena and Sheamus joined with Bryan for no reason to help him against the Shield... and then nobody ever talked about it again.
I get that error when having VPN issues trying to cross america's internet border. It all went away when I started using Unblock Us.
If that's your case, that's what I recommend.

WWE Network has worked fine for me in the UK, outside of the NXT incident last night.
I'm not american and I don't want to mess with VPNs when I have money involved.
PPVs here are like 10 euros, so buying the ocasional one isn't that bad.
