There was no build for BFG, you can't expect people to come when they have nothing to cheer for. What is the point to reduce the ppv numbers when you don't use the time between them to build it strongly ?
News Flash- This is a television product. It's not real. They put everyone on the other side of the arena. They have been doing this for months on Impact and it's why the camera angles are so 2D lately.
I don't think the issue is hiring the bigger buildings because as discussed on this board in the past it's cheaper to run bigger buildings but the fact your biggest show of the year is only a few hundred more then an episode of Impact is really poor.
Everyone is to blame from management to the wrestlers. People just aren't interested and something has to change.
Vince acutely admitted after the fact that he wish it never happend. He himself said compeition is good.This time around he wouldnt want to.
Anyways this is not like that case. It would be sold to someone else like spike.This is what happens when you have a idiot decide lets take the company in a wwe lite version. The moment this company took it in that direction its been declining. People want a alternative.
If the attendance for Bound For Glory was 3,000 - 4,000 in a 6,000 capacity arena, that's not overly terrible at all. Not great, especially considering this is TNA's biggest PPV of the year. Then again, looking at past Bound For Glory attendance numbers, it's pretty much the same as past years.
no excuses, wrestling city or not they should do better than that for there wrestlemania
they needed or need to go the ecw route, run a cycle of hot citys like hammerstein, overseas, phili, etc
focus on more wrestling, that rating is not changing anyways so trim the fat with hogan/sting/etc
paul heyman was the biggest mistake imo, they had him and wouldnt give him the control he wanted, imagine what could of been
cm punk might of actually came to tna when his contract was up, just think of what tna would look like today
Not as bad as I Initially thought. Not perfect but about average for TNA. Taking into account the limited amount of PPV's now they should be doing alot better.
This. Some complete nonsense in this thread, since when have TNA regularly drawn significantly more than ~3.5k for PPVs? Sure they "should" be doing better, but everyone knows what a state they've got themselves into of late and acting like the attendance was an unusually horrible letdown for them just shows you've only been watching the promotion for about 5 minutes imo
It was a decent enough PPV (Angle/Roode and Bully/Styles matches were good) and a healthy enough attendance (3,500-4,000).
The "TNA iz dying!!!" crap is getting pretty boring and tedious now.
The only thing i'm LOLing at is the quite pathetic people who write constant anti TNA threads on every board, the same old tune being sung on all of them.
Why not wait for a number from someone who knows what the fuck they're on about and skip Dipshit Dave's guesstimates? I'm seeing reports that the arena was configured for 6,000 and people saying 3,500-4k. Looking at the pictures, though, I dare say we're talking closer to 2,000.
Bound For Glory had a significant amount more than an Impact wrestling taping as behind the ring annoucing table was fairly full. That's clearly 3,000 plus.
I recognize Bound For Glory as the biggest show because the company feels that way but it clearly isn't there money maker. Lockdown has always and will always be the bigger money maker.
The last 2 posters might want to look at the other pictures posted in this thread. It wasn't as bad as that angle suggests, considering it's TNA and all.
