Scott,
Ratings just came in for Impact and it got a 0.8. When will TNA begin to panic? 0.6? 0.4? Ratings are steadily decreasing. Will they abruptly end the Aces and Eights? Or could we see even MORE Hogan on TV even in a wrestling role? If the Slammiversary buys are lower than expected, what big shake ups do you expect?
Thanks and enjoy your beautiful weekend
I find that TNA doesn't usually panic-book, the panicking is usually done by Spike. Hulk's probably gonna be like "Three and a half years isn't enough time for a company to turn around with me on top, brother, we're gonna need another couple of title reigns for me to really see which way the wind blows when it comes to Hulkamania in 2013." Apparently we're building to Hulk v. Bully at Bound for Glory as it is, which is just...no. Just no.
I'm gonna throw it out there, because I can't unsay it afterwards, but maybe they should fire Bischoff and Hogan and bring back Jeff Jarrett. I think they really need to get back to Jerry Jarrett's philosophy of cutting the talent pay down to nothing and booking soap opera Memphis stuff, because keeping 8 guys on retainer for doing run-ins week after week is not paying dividends with Aces & Eights. This isn't Ted Dibiase and Syxx where we actually give a shit about anyone beyond Evil Team 3D and maybe Mr. Anderson as a serious main event threat. You can also scrap the entire X division at this point, because if Kenny King is your champion and best worker, well, you know. And that's nothing against Kenny, but come on.
They need an overhaul for sure, and not a Hulk-related one.
