anyone have any advice on how to buy a summerslam ticket on the secondary market?

I'm thinking about just going alone at this point.

For the depressing news of the day, Meltzer says there's a good chance Lucha Underground won't be back, at least in its current form, because they just can't find money to continue on. Last season cost them $20 million. Says TNA will probably be alive for longer at this point.

 

[Man God]

Yeah, unless LU was doing amazing numbers for the Spanish language broadcast there was no way El Ray could support a show with that level of production values for long.

 

[bean breath]

I wonder how much money Angelico made?

Wouldn't Spike TV want to get in on lucha?

A wrestling show would help as a lead in to MMA.

Am I better off buying now or waiting.

Since Taker was announced prices have gone up.

 

[Kaladin]

I feel like LU was only hurt by the channel it was on though. The product was good enough that it could have survived on a bigger network had one signed on for it.

They would still be stuck on UniMAS which is what they wanted to upgrade from to reach more of the spanish speaking audience.

 

[bean breath]

What's going to happen to all the white wrestlers? Are they going to wrestle in AAA?

It's really a catch 22. Prices might drop if no one is buying them, but what if STANG is officially going to be there. Prices would probably rise again. I almost bought myself a ticket earlier after finding out my friend screwed up the NXT Takeover tickets.

 

[Man God]

20 million is more than what Spike was paying TNA, for example. 20 million is probably very close to what TNA cost+the expensive contracts Spike paid for during the Bischoff/Hogan era.

That's not true! that's impossible!

Buy now because the second Sting's confirmed on TV as showing up those things are skyrocketing even more

 

[Data West]

Rush and La Sobmra got into a fight with fans because the fans got worked that badly.

Naito you need to step up to your stablemates

Sting got STRO to go to a WWE show. That's drawing power, daddeh.

 

[Heel]

$20 million? With that lighting?

 

[Man God]

LU's look was intentional, I guess. You're going to have shitty lighting if you film in a warehouse.

 

[Data West]

Here's how we save Lucha Underground:

The most over people on the show aren't ex-WWE people so let's stop paying for Johnny Mundo, ADR, Big Ryck, Chavo, and Daivari.


Heel, we were just talking about WMAC Masters and you want to talk lighting?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Are you familiar with "Derelicte"?

 

[Man God]

WMAC actually looked amazing for what it was back then.

The NWO angle was totally ripped off from them too. Tsunami was the original third man, brother.

 

[funkystudent]

Just imagine how much debt TNA is probably in at this stage.

I dont think they have ever been profitable and its only the last year or two they have actually cut back on spending

 

[Man God]

Spike had all the really big contracts and they gave them really generous rights fees. They basically didn't start really losing money until they went on the road but after that it also killed their ppv money, which killed their merch money.

 

[Data West]

10 mil was spent on Mil Muertes CUSTOM MADE SUITS(just like that)

Well worth it.

TNA's coffers have been bolstered by the strong British pound, m8.

TNA's last year with Spike was probably the size of roster that you could actually do on their budget.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Dave confirmed WWE has already contacted at least one ROH arena with the idea of running shows, provided they no longer book ROH.

How much longer until El Rey becomes nothing but Cops reruns like most other dead stations?

What's next, airing Smackdown repeats to go against Death Before Dishonor?!?

I liked G4tv. I know TechTv life longs hate it but I enjoyed the programming.

[Data West]

Naito needs to get into a fight with the Osaka smarks.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I liked G4tv. I know TechTv life longs hate it but I enjoyed the programming.

I liked it when it was actually gaming focused and even a few of the shows that weren't were still pretty good, but there was certainly a point where they just flat out lost me. Thankfully their legacy lives on in the shitty web shows most major gaming sites now have and American Ninja Warrior.

Is Will Forte starring in some emo tv show?

In the Metal Gear poster thread?

I see no excessive cleavage.

The Gift of the Gods being something you have to defend is super duper smart wrestling booking.

 

[British Monsoon]

I'd bitch about this on twitter, but they're horrible vanity searchers and I don't particularly want to get in a row - how the fuck are Pro-Wrestling Tee's NJPW shirts $24.99? The NJPW Europe ones (which are of a much higher quality) are £15.99, or $24.80. The authentic Lion Mark ones from Japan are 3,000 yen, or $24.23. You suck, PWTees.

 

[Hex]

Meltzer is full of shit as much as he is right.
Lucha has already said that they are working on ways to make it happen, and won't do it unless they can maintain quality.
They are hitting up Netflix, and multiple other sources to partner with.

 

[Jimmy King]

How about a SuperKickStarter?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Not surprising at all LU's going going gone.

Long Live God King WWE :[

 

[slightconfuse]

Lucha should pull a inafune and launch a kickstater.

The MaskedRepublic shirts are 22-25 dollars and a much higher quality than PWT.
ProWrestling Tees are about the same quality as those 'shirt of the day sites' t-shirts.

I don't really get why we've had multiple sources of people who work directly with or on LU say 'hey we're working something out' get batted away but as soon as Observer, who doesn't even follow Lucha, says something it's confirmed 100% true.

 

[Man God]

The talent have been saying for months now that they expect a season 2, but a lot of that is wishful thinking+shine from management. No one wants to lose a sweet gig like LU (except Hernandez!)

 

[British Monsoon]

They should be at least $10 cheaper, what a shitty, shitty site. I wanted the new Nakamura shirt, but I'd prefer to pay crazy Japanese shipping costs than pay PWTees for an inferior product.

Are the NJPW Europe ones decent? Nipping back to the UK for a week or so next month and I was wondering if I'd be better having one shipped there than buying from PWTees.
