I'm very happy to hear that they are going on the road though.

Yeah. I mean they were already doing house shows on the road but it'll be nice to see televised shows on the road. I'm worried about how empty some of the arenas might look though. The Impact Zone always looks packed because It's the size of a HS gym. Unless they plan on doing shows at VFW lodges and high schools it could look awful on TV

Depends on how much they charge for tickets.

They could give them away for free and it wouldn't matter if they continue to put out the product they have now.

People still go to WWE shows.

But thats the WWE, I agree with you though they need to get out of this Aces & 8's thing fast.

Is Impact going after 8 year old kids?

No but that's how WWE keeps selling out shows despite a subpar products. TNA is going to have to be dependent on die hards and anti PG era fans but unfortunately they aren't remotely close to capturing those demographics

CM Punk was a special guest caller on Abe Kanan’s Sirius XM satellite Radio show earlier this week.
While on the show Punk spoke with 77-year-old Thomas Dotterer, the liquor store robbery victim who was shot in the eye, but said the worst thing that happened all week was Punk losing to The Rock at the Royal Rumble. Dotterer talked about the robbery and returning to work after being released from the hospital, when he was surprised by a call from Punk.
Dotterer noted that Punk’s hard work and dedication is why he was so upset that The Rock defeated him at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. Punk offered Dotterer to be his special guest when WWE is in Syracuse for a live event on March 3, 2013.

They need to bring some of the Attitude Era fans back somehow. Posing the question is much easier than answering it, but they need to have something that attracts people back to wrestling.

What's funny, and also sad, about TNA is that they had shots at all these Indy guys before WWE did for the most part. CM Punk and Claudio and Tyler Black and Moxley. Not sure about Danielson. But the WWE has done a better job of being an alternative to the WWE than TNA has, if that makes any sense. They've smartly scooped up a lot of historically non-WWE guys, and sprinkled them in seamlessly with their "entertainers" like Ryback and Orton.

The WWE tries to give alternatives...I gotta give them credit for it.

Listening to this now.

Alvarez starts things off with a National Pro Wrestling Day question, and after a brief answer, Quack & Melter go on a 10 minute All Japan Women & Michinoku Pro soliloquy/trip down memory lane.

Alvarez doesn't get to speak again until the 10:50 mark lol.

Did they seriously split up Team Rhodes Scholars? Just get rid of the tag team division altogether now
