They should consider playing a highlight reel of Punk on the titantron during the Cena/Wyatt match to pacify the crowd.

TNA will never be good, they never managed to get past four stars and it's been two stars for half a decade now. It is time to give up mate, they will be done in September anyways.
Nice.
One way or another, tonight is going to be memorable. Let's hope it's for a good reason.
Her eyes definitely say "get me the fuck out of here"
Why?

Do we have a irc channel up?
That's when their Spike TV contract is up, which won't be renewed unless they feel like losing money for some reason
Fixed.
The big question with TNA right now is they have a tv contract that ends in September and Spike hasn't signed on for more. So there future right now is in doubt.
I've only really been following for about 2 years or so. In that time, there hasn't been a lot to get excited about, but I've liked quite a few things about their shows:
-backstage promos
-the vignettes/pre-recorded promos
-the AJ storyline
-Bully Ray's transformation
-Sanada vignettes
-MVP promos and EY promos
But they have shat the bed in so many other areas. It's why they haven't been able to crack a .90 rating in months.

tap that thorax
More people an hour before the show than a TNA show 5 minutes before the bell. So sad. #TNAtion is dying.
What Dixie Said
By Spider and Alucard and Not Death Cab
And it came to us then
That every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As we stared at our shoes
In the IWC
That reeked of Russo and menageri
And we rationed our breaths
As we said to ourselves
That we'd already watched too much thursday
As each descending peak
On the ratings
Took TNA a little farther away from we
Away from we
Amongst the empty seats
And year old WWE script sheets
In a zone where we only say goodbye
It sung like a violent wind
That our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were truth
We would rather loose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And we looked around
At all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself
Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
And then Spike comes round
And #TNAtion lifts their head
But I'm thinking of what Dixie said
That love is watching TNA die
So who's gonna watch TNA die
This is gonna be a great night. So many people will be mad lol

Didn't take long for He Who Shall Not Be Named chants.
Pretty sure Impact is one of their highest rated shows, unless the Internet is lying to me.

Riley and Kofi on the same panel??? Yay?
It's interesting. TNA wants to be WCW, right? Even Zeb said as much, that they founded the idea of TNA upon finding those lost WCW fans who didn't go to WWE(which I disagree with, I do think the majority of them went to WWE or just lost interest in wrestling all together.)
But they had Eric Bischoff in TNA. Bischoff who was the one who said 'fuck all this touring business, we're losing money. We need deals, we can't be touring.' What does TNA do when losing money? THEY START TOURING.

I wish WWE did these more often. I feel like there used to be a lot more vignettes/pre-recorded segments. There's a lot more they could do with this 'Reality era' concept.
Dying WCW was the highest rated program for TNT and TBS and it didn't save them.
Hey man, Dixie has said that TNA has been making profit for the past 5-6 years. Queen Dixie wouldn't lie like that to #TNAtion, would she?
Good point. I guess we'll see what happens as September inches ever closer. I just want to see a few great matches out of TNA before then.
I assume the number of prideful Chicago fans cheering their hometown guy outnumber lunatic entitled fans.

It'll be interested to see how the crowd treats Bryan.
I don't think getting a television deal is the real issue. I think the question is if Spike, or anyone else, will offer enough money for TNA to stay afloat financially.

Borash thinks they should move to the UK. But that would require a ton of work, and I doubt talent would want to immigrate there.
Gonna be interesting to see their attendance figures for New York and to hear the crowd react to the TNA product.

They'll cheer the fuck out of him like every other crowd.

Is Torito going to wag his dick again while JBL proclaims LOOK AT 'EM TWERKING, MAGGLE like a fucking cringe-inducing old lame ass?

Holy shit did they actually mute the crowd?
You mean marks.
Borash is wrong. He thinks that way because of high attendance for UK, but they're only that popular there because they're not there that often. That's how European fans are(See Summerslam 92). As soon as TNA became a staple, British fans would quickly lose interest in attending every event.
