Why is it up to Sky,if TNA want to tape Impact here in the UK then surely its up to Dixie.TNA Tape weeks in advance so what is the problem?No money.
A host broadcaster would be required, I'm not 100% sure but IIRC I don't believe UK labour law would allow them to bring their own cameramen etc. over here; they'd have to use Brits. Besides they're certainly not bringing their own satellite trucks/outside broadcast units on tour, they'd need a UK broadcaster to supply them.

I think TNA would have taped in the UK if Bravo had been interested in doing it.

Bravo would never have put the expense of taping up

Sky supports the WWE (I think SIS did it for RAW) but they certainly do bring their own production staff, there's no law preventing them using their own labour. The likes of Cirque du Soleil and touring ballet/musical companies do it

I imagine SIS would to TNA too.

TNA would need support from Sky to stage tapings and I don't think they'd put they money up tbh and TNA's lack of cashflow doesn't help either

Dixie is considering having a Hall of Fame. Why?
Is it just a TNA one?

Maybe shes thinking of a proper universal one, unlike the WWE.

There already is a 'proper one'

It sounds more like Dixie blowing her usual smoke, the woman needs to learn to engage brain

You learn something every day.

Shark boy must get in. He was in the barbwire Christmas tree match for heaven's sake. Surely that equals instant hall of fame.

Ive avoided finding out Tna results, But Genesis has been kinda ruined....anyone got an opinion if it's worth a watch?
I'm the same, I only had Challenge appear a few days ago on my tv guide so started re watching TNA after I used to watch it on Bravo.

Anyway watched it for the 1st time the other night and heard about Genesis and the number one contenders match etc .....

..... then the following night Mr Anderson comes on as the new champ.

Was looking forward to watching Genesis but now the programmes are all over the place I know the results

Will still watch it though, im hoping the Against All Odds results don't get spoilered.

AND THEN YOU COME IN HERE AND SPOIL IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE WATCHING THE SHOWS IN ORDER AND WAITING FOR GENESIS.

THANKS TROLL. YOU GET UPSET BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW THE SHOWS WERE OUT OF ORDER (AS MENTIONED LOTS IN THIS FORUM) AND THEN FEEL IT IS OK TO UPSET OTHERS AS WELL.

Can we please have title changes to say NO SPOILERS please. As some people can not help themselves.

In Titanic the boat sinks. Oh and Jesus gets crucified in The Passion of the Christ.

Seriously, I have no clue why people care about TNA spoilers. Other things sure, but if the point of not hearing spoilers is so you can guess what's going to happen, that isn't possible with TNA anyway, mainly due to Russo's swerve swerve swerve booking style.

Yes if TNA did the same as WWE.TNA tape weeks in advance,so surley its a case of TNA taping Impact and taking the tapes back to the states for post production.I really dont see why Sky need to be involved,apart from helping promotion.

The one on tonight (right now) is the one that aired last Thursday on Spike in the US, so we are now up-to-date. This is the first "new" episode.

Yeah it's hard work waiting 5 days for Impact if you don't want to read spoilers. The PPV dates are so much better but you'd think they could air Impact sooner.

Still 50/50 on TNA as a whole to be honest. I've given up watching WWE, not just because it can get boring but because with 4 kids it's not like I have nearly enough time to watch 4 shows a week and fit in PPV's aswell. I end up reading results and info online instead. TNA I try to watch as it's easier to keep up with 1 show a week but I'm still struggling with the booking, as I have been the past 3-4 years. Have given up many times in the past but I WANT to like it with their roster. I just wish they'd follow up on the occasional great show instead of reverting back to the usual slapdash nonsense.

I kinda hoped Matt Hardy would look fresh and interesting without the WWE holding him back but nope.....same old Matt Hardy looking lazy, bored and out of shape. Major downer. What excuse will he have this time after his constant videos promising the world?

TNA has so much potential. They do make certain people more like stars than WWE ever did. Look at how Tomko was in his first run, look at Matt Morgan, now Anderson looks more like a star than the WWE ever made him look. But then you just don't get how they waste talent like Cheerleader Melissa, possibly one of the best female wrestlers out there, now Desmond Wolfe is in limbo, Brian Kendrick started positively but seems to be doing nothing and there's several others. I guess at least the Guns have been pushed, Beer Money are one of the best tag teams in wrestling right now (TNA does have great tag wrestling) and Kazarian and others are talented and getting a rub from Flair at least. Doug Williams is a great wrestler who I expected to go nowhere in TNA but has been given a great push aswell. If the X Division gets a new push like they're promising then I'll give it a go again and hope for the best. I'd like to see them bring in El Generico and TJ Perkins who both had tryouts recently and did well, both are great wrestlers who could thrive with good booking.

Who would you like to see in TNA that has a realistic chance of going? I wish they'd bring in Paul London but it seems from his shoot comments that that's never going to happen in a million years. Shame as he would be amazing in the X Division and could also re-team with Kendrick.

Of course the Knockouts are a good draw, Sarita is hot, Madison is smoking hot. I just wish Taylor Wilde had never left...stunning.

I'll be interested to read people's comments after tonights Impact and what they enjoy/want to see/dislike about TNA right now.

Why is Eric Young still swanning around with the TNA Heavyweight title?

A taped fist match?.........

I really want to be able to enjoy TNA but week after week it just frustrates and winds me up no end.

I hate spoilers at the best of times but that's a bit harsh Sauspud.

Due to the stupid way they've decided to place Geneis it's not the posters fault.

That episode of iMPACT has aired, thus it's not really a spoiler.

OK, Genesis hasn't aired yet, but it's a tough one to get around. Knowing Genesis was out of sync, i'd have avoided this thread until tomorrow.

So Fortune have broke away from the original "They" and have declared that they are actually "They".

"They" vs "They"?

That is until next month when no doubt another "They" will be coming.

Too bad Fortune are most likely going to get buried by the old guys.

Bischoff is eating up the tv time...kind of sick of him

best thing bout tna....mcmg, x division, knockouts is quite good, and for some reason that robbie e guy just cracks me up!

i agree f_196, otherwise its impossible to know what you can and cannot talk about. Talking within UK tv pace is the norm.

To be fair, Immortal and Ric Flair did say for weeks that 'They is us'. You can't really fault it too much and Kevin Nash did sign a contract with TNA and then request a release 3 days before the Rumble. While a smart fan might know things were changed a bit, from a TV viewers perspective everything did make sense.

A split from a big group to two smaller groups, one involving Eric, and the other not, now where have I seen this before? Oh yeah NWO Red and Black, v NWO Black and White (Hollywood), please try something new, or something different.

I like TNA, but some stuff baffels me, why does Eric get so much screen time? He is either in the ring talking, or backstage talking; if they cut a large portion of that out, then we could have another match, as isn't this supposed to be "Total NON-STOP Action"??
Ah for the days of when it actually was.

Also AJ Says "These are the people that built TNA", really?? What did Red's brother contribute, when TNA was in the Asylumn?? I don't remember him being there then!

Yeah I have to admit the kids storyline sucks, they should never be thrown into an angle like that in any company. I can't complain at Karen Jarrett on my TV though!
