11 is too late of a time slot. Why Destination America hasn't put this On Demand is beyond me.

Will probably lose a lot of viewers now, which will be its demise. Which is sad because it's great to watch.

Can still watch it through the ROH website, which might be why it's not On Demand.

The 11 PM time slot was doing almost as many viewers as it did at 8. Probably just trying to capitalize off the TNA audience sticking around. Without the 2 different timeslots they might get better numbers.

Watching TNA, serena needs to be bald

Drew McIntyre vs Derick Bateman main eventing the next TNA PPV for the world title.

Oof

James Storm is done with TNA

Feels like he should be turning out the lights

Thought he had quit and signed with WWE and was working with NXT as of like a month or two...?

Dunno where you heard that.

Damn. That roster is barren at this point. When you've put as much money into it over the years and now two guys who are better known as regulars on WWE's B shows are in your main event for the world title, it might be time to finally call it quits.

Wasn't his contract with TNA done on June 30? Why this delay?

Apparently like a really loyal tna guy he came back to finish out the tapings/storylines in july

They still have

I bet he feels stupid

"Damn," said Bram.

TNA vs GFW tonight. King of the Mountain as the main event.

Lashley can't afford "Beats by Dre" :/

Minions in the crowd randomly was a nice touch universal..

Minions should book for TNA. Better logic.

Lol PJ Black @JustinGabriel

Wait, he fucking won the king of the mountain match? Holy shit

King of the Mountain Match so soon after the other one? If those matches mattered it would be stupid to do the same match so quickly.

I kinda like the idea of a champion of a specific type of match. Just sucks it's a really stupid match concept.

Please don't steam Heisenberg's gimmick.

I don't like how PJ Black just fought in a massive match like that and is challenging next week. Also, it feels like he should want the X-Division Title.

They should all ask for their releases...why stay on the sinking ship the S.S. LOLRIPTNA?

Because a late paycheck is better than no paycheck. Plus its still on national TV and gets guys exposure.

Lol @ the Shera dance

The vest thing Eli Drake wears with his initials on it is the dumbest looking thing I've ever seen

I'd appreciate it if we all banded together and notify the casual/non-TNA fans that Bram is back so that we can get a movement going. They need to know

Justin Gabriel vs Derrick Bateman champion vs champion match in the main event

Everything is weird

Jeff Jarret's corporate take over tonight. Already used Magnus's feast or fired tag team brief case to win the TNA tag team titles off the Wolves.

Well they didn't edit Bram out of this weeks Impact. Just answered a open fight night challenge from Kenny King.

And he won. Kenny King could have used that win.

God fucking damn it. Visiting my hometown in a couple weeks, and I just found that the day I'm set to come back, there's a ROH event taking place 2 minutes from where I'm staying.

Jay Lethal is fighting the headliner of wrestlemania 20, stevie richards

Dalton Castle's promo was pretty good. Going to make the Silas Young one of his boys.

Not been able to watch ROH for 2 weeks now since they've "temporarily" had to remove the ability to watch it via their website, or something.

Oh well, less legitimate methods, here I come.

Its not Jarrett, I dont see AJ coming back now, and TNA can't afford to have Hogan right now so I dont know who it could be.

Sonjay Dutt

He has been on Impact the last couple of weeks with Jarrett. Unless it just Kurt returning from injury.

Black Machismo is back in the impact zone, dig it.

How can Chris Mordetzky wear a Chris Masters t shirt on impact

I know I seen that to.

TNA should drop back to one hour. I'd posts my reasons, but I honestly can't be bothered. Short summary: I think a surprising lot of good would come from it, not least because it is requesting less of an emotional investment at this point in time. NXT has made shorter programming blocks stylish again. Don't put your guys on every episode and have them work GFW if they want more dates.

Doesn't matter what they do at this point. If Destination America is determined that TNA is gone @ the end of the month, so be it. And good luck getting any other networks to sign them to a new deal. If they want to survive they may well have to go to an online-exclusive format, althoufh that would almost certainly be the death knell for them.

You're probably right, but they'll have a better chance pitching a shorter, simpler show to networks, who won't have to pay as much for the time.

Knockouts were really the highlight of Impact this week. WWE needs to watch Impact to see how to present womens wrestling. In a 2 hour show they were able to showcase 11 women (12 if you count Karen Jarrett) without any of it feeling forced or corny.

Hell of a match between Lethal and Strong. ROH really got something going with Jay Lethal.

Ehhh, I doubt they could learn anything in 3 short weeks...

They could learn a lot from this weeks episode alone.

Jay Lethal is a future legend, sadly he'd be the new comedy R-Truth if WWE snatched him up, but that would lead to more Ric Flair impersonations

Lol, Jay Lethal is only 30.

Dude's tearing it up. I want to see Sinclair smash some money into ROH and try and get him some top competition and expand ROH.

Agree with the ROH expansion. Feel like they could draw bigger arenas, not WWE big but get out of the small warehouse looking arenas. They have a great working agreement with NJPW and is booked pretty good. Lethal has been booked great since he got to ROH. I'm very interested to see who takes the belts off him but would like to see him hold them for a while. I think Moose would be a good candidate as well as Adam Cole.

I have to be honest -- I hate it when they have two belts on a guy. Let's say Moose beats Jay Lethal for the TV Title. That means Moose beats the World Champion. So surely it makes sense that he gets a World Title shot right? But then let's say Lethal keeps the World Title. He just took that big win away from Moose. If you've got two belts, you have the chance to be making two guys.

They've got Lethal defending the TV Title against Bobby Fish at an upcoming show in Texas. Kyle O'Reilly is challenging for the World Title. I'm not entirely in sync with ROH's booking style, but I think it could be damaging to have Lethal beat both Fish and O'Reilly in the same night -- especially given that reDRagon just put over The Young Bucks at a house show, and O'Reilly has been teaming with Adam Cole on a couple of occasions recently.

I'd have Lethal defeat Fish in the TV Title match. But seeing an opportunity, some wacky backstage off-camera shenanigans go on. In the main event, Bobby Fish shows up and costs Kyle O'Reilly the match. Lethal and Truth Martini have convinced Fish that if O'Reilly beats Lethal and Fish couldn't -- his career is dead in the water. Maybe they hand Fish a big lump of money to sweeten the deal. This sets up Fish vs. O'Reilly as a big feud.

Lethal is then obviously moving towards a title program with Roderick Strong, meanwhile Dalton Castle and The Boys are training Silas Young up to take the TV Title off Lethal so that Castle can again contend for it.

Love it when EC3 throws out WWE references. Called Drew, Dixie's chosen one but paused an looked right at the camera as he said "chosen one".

Hell, Tommaso Caimpa on Impact.

BFG main event now a triple threat, EC3/Matt Hardy/Drew Galloway with Jeff Hardy as the special guest referee.

Ugh. I had just gotten used to the idea of Jeff Hardy being at ringside, costing EC3 the match, setting up a program with him in his homestate. Now Matt Hardy is the big babyface. This is a cluster.

Hopefully EC3 retains. With Matt being added I kind of fell like that will happen. Could use this as a Jeff Hardy heel turn if they wanted.

Jeff Hardy turning heel is probably the worst thing they could do.

I think putting the title on Galloway is. EC3 has beaten all the TNA hall of famers and is undefeated only to have a former WWE mid carder beat him? I'm all for Galloway getting the title down the line, just don't think He's a good choice to beat EC3.

I would agree with you, if it weren't for Jeff Hardy being involved, and the PPV being held in Greensboro or something. Hardy should turn face at the PPV, help Galloway, then we can move into The Hardys vs. EC3 & Tyrus and Galloway vs. Angle or something.

ROH pretty good this week. Love The Kingdom, hope Adam Cole is the one to take the titles off Lethal. Adam Page vs Jay Brisco in a No Holds Barred match coming up.

I'm guessing TNA is still more painful to watch than a Dr. Jack Kevorkian assisted suicide?

They aired the BFG main event tonight. Its not bad, the matches are good and the world title series is coming along. EC3 beat Lashly and now has 4 points.

It's not too bad IMO. The matches are good.... the only thing that kinda is a buzzkill is that the matches are from months ago :-\

The TNA World Title Series is pretty dumb. This is not going to be as well booked as a New Japan tournament, and so many guys are just going to get wins over each other.

It might have been something if it was live and properly planned. With the matches being taped months ago and contradicting storylines its kinda meh. EC3 should win.

What's dumb though is Tyrus's situation. The titles vacant and he's the #1 contender but he has to wait for the World Title Series for a champion to be crowned.

That is pretty dumb. So is a top babyface just giving up the World Title he has spent the last few years working towards.

Did anyone else catch the Dijak vs Moose match from this week's ROH? Damm.... I gotta step up my game to catch up with those big men

I'm hearing more and more about Moose. Not sure if I like the name, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up in WWE before too long. If Sinclair wanted more from ROH, then he'd be a guy to get behind.

And Dalton Castle. Twice.

Think Moose just resigned with ROH a couple months ago. He might be the one to take the titles of Lethal. Really like Moose and Dijak.

Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser quit half way through the match with the Youngbucks and made the Boys finish the match.

With WWE announcement of a tournament here s the updated TNA World Title Series Standings.

Lol if they run Abyss vs. one of the girls or whatever.

I can honestly say I am not interested in any of those guys being champion right now.

Just needs to go back on EC3

It shouldn't have come off him.

With Tyrus being #1 contender I'd say EC3 will win. Matt will probably go back to teaming with Jeff once they get done with the tournament, when ever that may be.

Can't wait to see Derrick Bateman vs. Brodus Clay for the TNA World Title.

Sorry to sound like a dick. It's not those guys' faults. TNA has just burnt me too many times.

I know your being silly but that's one thing I like about TNA is it give talent a placeto be in matches like that. Brodus Ckay was never going to be anything more than what he was but Tyrus has a chance to be World champ. If presented the right way it works ala EC3. They've done a real good job with EC3s push and he has backed it up, dudes grest on the mic and knows how to work the crowd.

Lol, TNA trolling James Storm. Pope labeled him the tournaments biggest disappointment on the green screen.

EC3 has advanced to the round of 16.

ROH was pretty good this week. Main event was The Addiction vs The Kindom. Both played heel and at one point Kaz and Taven tried to hit each other with the belt but then both layed down and acted as if the other hit him with the belt.

I am being silly. Derrick Bateman should have been something. Brodus Clay showed something as a bodyguard and briefly as a fun suplex machine -- but beyond that, I don't see much in the guy.

I'm now on the "just put the fucking belt back on EC3" train. You've got matches against Tyrus and Matt Hardy waiting. Now that they have a TV show they can plan for, I'd suggest they start doing it.

I really wish they'd scale things back to an hour, just to keep things feeling tighter and more fresh.

Be funny if WWE sees that Impacts moving to Tuesdays decide to go ahead and make Smack down live. TNA would benefit from doing more live shows but will probably tape a bunch of shows after the live premiere on Pop TV.

I think they should keep costs down. They need to build some good will and get people buzzing about their product being on the rise again. That will mean sensible booking and maybe even word of mouth coming out of the tapings about it being worth a watch. You can go live once you have momentum.

I'd personally drop the Impact Wrestling name at this point. It might be just an aesthetic thing, but I feel that brand has taken such a beating over the past few years that they might as well just abandon it. Time to create a new show and a fresh start.

I thought at one point they were going to cut the TNA out and just be Impact Wrestling. They really should, strange to me that a women owns the company and its still TNA in today's PC times.

A complete re-branding might be just what they need to not smell of dying cunt meat.

You know, I never gave my "theory" on the whole DA and TNA/ ROH thing so here it is.
I think someone at Discovery heard there's a wrestling company looking for a new network. Considering most network executives probably aren't fans of professional wrestling, they didn't know the difference between TNA and WWE. So they probably thought, if we put wrestling on DA, it will get ratings like RAW gets. The realist truth is, Impact has not and probably will never do a 3 or 4 in the ratings. So when DA realized they won't get that high of ratings, they figured, if he get a cheaper wrestling show (ROH is already syndicated) we can get the same ratings at a cheaper cost.... They brought in ROH and it only does half the ratings Impact does. So at the end of the year, when it came time to renew both companies contracts, DA said fuck it and decided to do more cheap reality shows than to pay to put wrestling on tv

Wouldn't really need RAW or even the lower Samckdown ratings but DA probably thought they could pull in more ad money by having wrestling than what they currently had. Problem was the opposite happened and TNA agreeing to a clause in the contract that demanded a certain level of ratings which didn't happen either.

ROH might have always been in the plan since DA teased a few times about bringing more wrestling for the channel. Just the timing of it happening ended up being bad since the TNA cancellation rumors happened at the same time. ROH is also leaving is due to ad rates being horrible for the spot even though DA barely spent anything to get the show.

PWI had an article teasing TNA basically believes they are the victim of some sort of giant conspiracy to get them off the network.

Isn't ROH reallyyyyy cheap for them though? all they have to do is press play?

Meh, I don't believe anything Meltzer says anymore than I believe Ryan Clark and his "anonymous backstage sources"

What does Meltzer have to do with anything in that post?

Isn't he a reporter for PWI?

Nope, Meltzer runs Wrestling Observer.

That TNA article is just sad. It's always the network's fault that they fucking suck, isn't it? It was Spike's fault that they didn't "promote" TNA better, even though it was a jewel piece in its attempts to establish a combat sports block alongside Bellator, and that they used their own money to back the contracts of guys like Sting.

It's now Destination America's fault that they...what? Put more wrestling on their network? How insecure is TNA about their product that they think another wrestling show in a separate time-slot is affecting their ratings.
