Also it will make PPV events a bigger deal. Definitely a smart move.

 

[Shock]

Bischoff is right. Hopefully they make this change soon.

 

[Chismo]

6 PPVs needs to happen.

 

[Pinball Wizard Graves]

Balls and vision? How long is their contract with InDemand and such?

TNA needs to keep it simple. Lockdown, Bound For Glory, and Slammiversary. All online. TNA will save and make more money that way. 10,000 buys at ten dollars a pop means 100,000 pure profit for TNA. They will not have to share it with anyone (if they stream from their own site) and even if they DO have to go to another website and stream it...I'm sure they would be coming out with more then they would if they were using InDemand.

This. Id keep Destination X if they plan to bring back the division at some point and possible Victory Road as a lead in.

Personally I would like to see the number of PPV's per year cut to 6. However I'm not convinced that by halving the amount of PPV's per year, that they would more than double their average buyrate. I don't think that's realistic. If they can make it work then great, I hope they can.

 

[BalooUpoo]

The less TV this man produces a year the better.

 

[superspear]

I cant believe you guys are swallowing this hook line and sinker.

 

[PushShelton]

Based on the TV this week, they clearly are not pushing their PPV so why bother having 12 of them.

 

[USAUSA1]

Meltzer said the last ppv did 15,000 which is just extremely low. I don't even know why they bother with ppvs anymore. I think a LIVE show on Spike TV in a Clash of Champions format is probably better for TNA since they seem to care more about ratings than buyrates.

 

[Joeyontherun22]

i think we ALL can agree that TNA need less PPV's. Not only will having less PPV ADDS the buyrates for each PPV, it also adds the anticipation if booked right for the few PPVs and Saves tons of money in the process. It a win win situation.

 

[EJ_Styles]

I think we can all agree, that Meltzer knows jack about TNA's buyrates. Never buy into anything dirt sheets say about TNA's buyrates. Only TNA know how well they did.

 

[BGLWrestlingGod]

I say five pay per views a year. Genesis to begin storylines and feuds, Lockdown for gang warfare and big matches, Slammiversary as the mid-year, summery event, Hard Justice should be made kind of like Uncensored or Extreme Rules, and then Bound for Glory is the big one. If serious thought went into these ppvs, then I'd probably order a couple myself. TNA being out of the iMPACT! zone is enough to interest me, but a good show helps, too.

exactly, but people will believe it anyways.

 

[PauseMenuNotWanted]

Six PPVs, all on the road. Months without PPVs are covered by a special show, either a separate broadcast on Spike TV or a three-hour Impact.

Scrap:

Final Resolution, Turning Point, Victory Road, Sacrifice,No Surrender. Who buys them anyway?

Have The remaining PPV's outside of the impact zone.

Destination X - The only time when Ultimate X is used.
Lockdown - All matches should be 6 SIDES of steel.
Slammiversary - This being the 3rd biggest ppv of the year.
BFG - Biggest show of the year.
Hardcore Justice - All matches are Hardcore matches.
Genesis - Opening ppv of the year.

 

[Bourne]

Why are you guys proposing such drastic cuts? Drop the PPV's to 9 and see how that goes.

the less PPVS the more money for travel and going on the road. less spending on ppvs = win win

Keep Final Resolution, since it is supposed to be the final PPV of the year.

Make Victory Road TNA's version of Backlash.

Scrap Destination X and Hardcore Justice.
