I'm glad you survived the experience. Then again, I don't see that you've posted since this so I don't know if you made it through the entire show.
I don't care if they suddenly turned things around and started putting on the best shows on TV, the company seems so seedy and backwards in its business dealings that I can no longer even think about supporting them. Whether it's recent stuff like trying to tamper with ROH contracts or coming into towns to run opposite of small indie shows like they're doing in Jamestown on Galacticon weekend, or any of the other well publicized crap things they've done to people over the years; the company has proven to be so dirty at the top that I can't give them my time or money. When even someone like AJ Styles who was loyal to a fault has finally become publicly vocal about the mess that is doing business with TNA and how demoralizing it was playing to packed houses disguised as chairs and bleachers, then you know they must suck.

I had a brain aneurysm during yet another stupid hidden camera segment backstage. Me and my family were saved by my dog who was immune to the effects. I was in a coma until a couple hours ago. |

or coming into towns to run opposite of small indie shows like they're doing in Jamestown on Galacticon weekend Did they really do that on purpose? I keep up on TNA even less than I do on WWE, especially now that there's now CWFH guys involved, but was the GalactiCon show scheduled first and then TNA scheduled against them on purpose? |

I have seen cases where local shows were advertised, then TNA came in and announced a date in the same area on the same day or weekend.I know the Filsinger event was announced before TNA, and I know the last time TNA ran Jamestown was 2009; so it would be a Helluva coincidence if they just happened to pick that day to run in that town. They love to piggyback off of someone else's advertising and promotion because they famously do so little of their own. Circumstantial evidence and past history leads me to believe this was an intentional move on the part of TNA. |

It's a travesty a promotion this pathetic has national TV |

Well...Abrams UWF had national TV too. I'm not surprised a shit hole like TNA has had it for so long.

UWF was in such a different era though. A guy with a real good con game could get on those sports channels if they just offered content to fill up the schedule. TNA's problems are pretty much solely at the top via crappy business people doing shady things and messing up out of a mix of pure laziness and ineptitude. I'm sure some jerk in their office was reading the news bits promoting the Kickstarter campaign on the wrestling web sites and decided they could take advantage. When they don't use another company's promotion they have practically none of their own: again, I reference the show they ran two blocks from my in-laws house a while back that no one knew about until after it happened: a well attended event that saw about 100 people show up to a civic arena that holds about 4000. EDIT: Hey, I tried to look up actual attendance and couldn't find it, but here's the FB event page from that show last year. Look at the overwhelming excitement for this! Look at how many "guests" responded! www.facebook.com/events/519078374824762/THAT is what we consider the "number 2" company in the US. Number two does not mean what they think it means, I think. |

And they're about to try to run Korakuen Hall, a 2,200 seat building, with a company that put 780 fans in it with about 450 comps and somehow TNA expects it to end well. Ah, good old TNA.
