EVERYTHING IS FINE

By
Scott,
 
Just received an e-mail from TNA that their Video OnDemand will stop service on August 2nd.  I'm thinking its shutting down because of their new YouTube subscription, but maybe its something more.  In the e-mail it says that refunds will be given by Friday to subscribers.  Let's see if that actually happens or we get delayed in payment just like the wrestlers.
 
Take care!

This is all stuff that every perfectly healthy wrestling company does in the span of a few weeks to drastically slash costs.

    Was gonna ask the same question.


    But, eh, it was such a nondescript show; not that bad, not that great. If it was awesome or horrible, I'd be pissy about this. Yes, not getting a free description of something I already watched makes me indignant.

    It is because of the YouTube TNA Plus+ deal. Why have two On Demand services?

    I was waiting for the RAW recap, but I'll just post it here: Last night's segment where Ryback beat up the guy at the lunch table is EXACTLY what should've happened the night after he lost to Cena at Payback. Have Ryback bully some random guy, say something like, "It ain't over between me and John Cena," and then move him into the feud with Jericho where he ends up putting Jericho out for months.
    That way you keep your monster heel strong, you can take him out of the WWE title picture for a while (distracted with Jericho, Miz, etc.), and it's OK because he doesn't necessarily have to follow up on the Cena threats. Since he's a bully and bullies often don't back up their talk.
    Then when you're in need of a heel to enter the title picture, there's a not-weak Ryback available.

    Why do an insane amount of downvotes come out any time someone even mentions TNA? I mean, some of these comments weren't even negative or positive-just some random observation or something-and they get downvoted.

    Exactly.


    I remember when a couple years ago there were people saying that WWE should go back to 4 PPV's a year to help make them bigger and better shows. Now that TNA does this, it's automatically assumed it is because of financial woes.

    That's becajse WWE makes rational business decisions, and TNA changes everything about their company on a whim if they think it'll get over. If they were reading the Raw live thread last night they'd have Aces and Eights playing Smash or Pass with the Knockouts on Thursday.

    One time a couple of summers ago I tried to watch an episode of Impact, it looked so post-produced, and the matches had no psychology (just move, move, move--no rhyme or reason), so I never watched again.

    When TNA made the decision to cut back on the ppv's, a majority of the people here - myself included - said that it was a great idea and something that should have been time a long time ago. Now to do a complete turn and say it was a bad idea is a bit hypocritical.

    TNA's online shop does seem to be trying to empty out its warehouse now. I just ordered an acoustic guitar autographed by Jeff Jarrett for $60. I checked around online and the guitar itself retails for $100, so the autograph brought down its value 40%.
