The money they could make off charging a measly $5 per IMPACT could pay for most of the curtain jerkers and knockouts.

btw - speaking of Impact and NXT...doesn't the WWE charge like $10 to get in for the NXT tapings?

I think the film students get in free, and everybody else pays $5 or $10 or whatever.

I find it odd that the WWE wants lapsed fans to watch again and they do all kinds of surveys on why they don't watch anymore.

It's crazy, they've never charged a dime to get in that place. You can't convince me the mouth breathers that inhabit that building wouldn't pay a nominal fee to get in every week. It's always the same faces, especially in the early days.

$5, $10 or even $15. Lots of money to be made, and most people wouldn't complain about it.

[Warner2BruceTD]

The idea behind it is that they want the place full. They give free tickets to tourists and shit when they don't think it will fill up (speaking of which, SuperKevin, how did you get your seats? Is it first come first serve? Im curious how it works).

I don't think they should charge a lot, but I don't think many people would blink at paying $5. $300,000 per year is a lot of money for a company like TNA. Like larry & I mentioned, that pays for several undercard workers salaries since most of those TNA people are making well under $100k base (even as low as $30k range).

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

They could pay every knockout, plus quite a few undercard curtain jerkers for 300K.

You don't even need to charge for kids. Adults...$5. Maybe for the PPV...$10.

No one is complaining.

when you look at some of the drizzling shit indy feds charging 10-15 $ a show .... why not

Again, I warn against trying to use regular human logic in trying to figure out WWE decisions. Doing so will just make your head hurt.

Anybody know what Daffney is up too?

She's doing stuff with Shine Wrestling.

[Derrville]

And suing TNA.

[JimLeavy59]

WOW That might have been the best ladder match I've ever seen.

[Bigpapa42]

Despite being reminded several times over the weekend that TNA had a PPV, I semi-forgot last night. When I did remember, I couldn't be bothered to find a stream. Haven't been watching Impact of late either. I haven't dug the Aces n' Eights, nor Hardy getting the title again. While I like the overall booking better than the E at this point, there are still issues to me.

Went to CHIKARA Saturday.

Fucking ruled.
