Tonight we find out who this new owner is and if the product will actually improve or not.

I'm finally watching tonight's show about 2 hrs later and this is such a nice crowd vs. most of the crowds in WWE. Too bad TNA couldn't tape in the UK 3-4 times a year.

MVP is a great wrestler, I just think we all expected someone in a non wrestling capacity vs. a mid-card WWE/mid-card NJPW talent to come in as they are an investor. If Dixie is the President and if TNA isn't a publicly traded company, how could there be this investor that has 25% of the company decisions.

I guess they could say that her parents sold some/all of their shares to him. I agree that the crowd was good. It was nice to see them have a show with a relatively big crowd that was into it. Sometimes I do wonder if they'd be better off if they moved all their tv to the UK or maybe even Canada.

I just wish they would have went with anyone else for this and actually not even done this story line. Its just a reboot off of when Mick Foley came in and etc. I would have like to see either a old legend come in. (Not have him wrestle just figure head) or someone like Ted Dibiase Jr or even Tommy Dreamer. Who I heard works for them now.

If MVP is buying into ur company (kayfabe) then ur really are in trouble lol. I got 20 bucks can I be a owner to?

Re: New Owner Debut

MVP while in the WWE showed a lot of personality and potential to be imo a future world champion. Him being the new investor of TNA and working with the American Wolves looks fairly odd however this could be an interesting angle if done correctly.


Btw on the same episode of impact, Rockstar Spud was simply amazing he had a great segment with the wolves and also Samoa Joe is next in line for a world title shot in which im hoping he wins. I'm definitely looking forward to what happens next on impact. MVP's first promo as investor should also be interesting.

Wait...MVP looks out of place as a guy who has enough money to invest in a company - but Tommy Dreamer doesn't?

Re: New Owner Debut

Now that the spoilers for the coming weeks are out, I think this new TNA could be good and a long time coming. I was kind of upset the direction the last few weeks but it looks like the young talent is getting a go ahead there. I really hope that they do stick with the younger set of stars at the top. Personally, I would of kept AJ Styles and would of never resigned Mr. Anderson. Hoping the night of Lockdown he makes his return.

If they overhaul the announcing team, that would help a lot. Tenay is good at what he does, but he's not as fun to listen to anymore. I feel like Taz is just phoning it in from time to time. I would go with Borasch and probably bring back Todd Keneley.

I'd love if they were to change the name after the win at Lockdown for the faces. This would be a perfect opportunity.

Dreamer has a wrestling promotion. House of Hardcore I believe (if its still in operations). In kayfabe terms he could be investing to bring a edgier/extreme side to the company. Dreamer has some actual cred with fans. I'm a fan of MVP I just don't think this is the right angle for him

Woah, spoiler tags exist for a reason.....

I agree, Taz may be "phoning it in" but its honestly better than Jerry Lawler making up his own interpretation of what the crowd is chanting, and Cole and JBL spending more time talking about everything but the match. Sure, the Impact announce team may have very stilted dialogue, but at least it pertains to the mat h at hand more than WWE.

I don't think I said a single spoiler, unless I am missing something.

I'm hoping that things do turn around for TNA because we need them to really be a decent alternative to WWE.

I could be reading more in to it than you meant. You said spoilers so I only kinda skimmed, lol.

Re: New Owner Debut

Finally got around to watching the last episode.




The good:


The crowd was a great thing to see.


Looks like Samoa Joe is getting a push.


Taz not being there. Most of the times he just talks about things that have nothing to do with the match.


Rockstar Spud is starting to grow on me. He knows how to work a crowd.




And the bad:


Still too much Dixie. Does she really think people want to hear her?


The Wolves not wrestling yet.


Only 4 matches in 2 hours? C'mon TNA.


MVP. Jim Ross or Jeff Jarrett would've been a better choice but we'll see.

Re: New Owner Debut

WOW!


Finally got to see The Wolves wrestle and they deserve all the hype. They will have the tag titles very soon I hope. Not sure what they did to HHH for him not to sign them but thank you very much.
