The PPV time has been extended tonight so it looks like nothing will be cut and all 2 hours 55 minutes of the PPV will be aired.

Take this with a pinch of salt, but there's chatter on the wrestling observer message board that TNA want to hold Bound For Glory in London this year.

Interesting if any truth to it but its no better than someone of this forum starting a similar rumour.

Dixie Carter has put this message on her twitter. Does anyone know the actual numbers? and also what sort of numbers where TNA getting on Bravo?

Thanks in advance too any replies.

The last rating was for the week ending 30th of January. Number 1 show on Challenge was in it to win it with 72,000 viewers. TNA on Bravo wasn't far off that number but they also got a number on the +1 channel too. TNA did good numbers on Bravo so if she's talking about a great rating on Tuesday then it must have been good.

Why don't they show TNA in the same Saturday night slot that it was shown on Bravo?

Sky/Challenge may move Impact to Saturday somewhere down the road, but I have realised that very other country that has TNA, will be more than likely paying a subscription with TNA being on pay-tv channels. And we are getting TNA on a FREE channel and so I expect the Impact dely to be longer than what it was on Bravo(Pay-tv).

Would be worse, it could be a "The Wrestling Channel" type deal - 1 week behind

They will be showing Impact on a Saturday night but it will just be a repeat from Tuesday's episode.

Yeah I know the current Saturday Impacts are repeats, but I meant Challenge may reduce the dely from the current 5 days dely (Tuesday) to 2 days (Saturday)

I'll be interested to read people's comments after tonights Impact and what they enjoy/want to see/dislike about TNA right now.
I'd like to see new booker(s) and writer(s) to be honest because it's all a bit groundhog day IMO. Faction vs faction, swerve after swerve, post match beatdown after beatdown etc. You get the picture - it's often very predictable and the pacing means believabilty and coherency sometimes goes out of the window. The direction seems a little too 1990s and at times the use of blood/swearing comes feels forced. The Impact Zone and its audience gives the impression of a lowbudget organisation.

But the roster is a superb mixture of different performers, the dialogue is snazzy and performers are given more leeway with their promos. The "shoot" elements are a nice touch, not alienating those outside of the IWC. There is character and comedy, a proper tag division and the wrestling isn't restricted. I'll also give the promotion credit for actually booking storylines which arc, instead of relying on fights over the titles 90% of the time. That shaky backstage camera thing is an interesting touch from Bischoff.

Wasn't the shaky ,shuddery camera effect in place before Bischoff etc arrived in the organisation? I'm sure i can recall it in 2009

I can't stand the shakey backstage camera.

It's trying to carry off a fly on the wall look, but it doesn't do it well.

It still feels obvious the camera should be there, but it looks very unprofessional. Not to mention the constant zoom in zoom knocks me into feeling sick.

And really, after all these weeks all the wrestler look like idiots because they're always caught talking with the locker room doors open...close the damn doors!

They cut the shot of Angle fiddling about with the razor blade, which was unusually sensible of them.

Not in UK broadcast.

And I'm still annoyed by the "Do you believe in Miracles?" line.

ECW Barely Legal 1997= a better show than TNA Genesis 2011.

TNA's security is a bit lax isn't it.

Unless a beatdown is imminent, they are nowhere to be seen.
