If they do that then they're arseholes! They must be still having nightmares from 1996/97 when WCW took them on and nearly had them beat.
And here was me thinking Vinne Mac didn't see Dixie as a threat. |

Good point, TNA will have venues booked well in advance but WWE could still make an "impact" (no pun intended) with a rival show.
WWE aren't exactly getting huge crowds theirselves, averaged around 4,500 last year if you exclude Wrestlemania. |

I wouldn't call them that, they (the WWE) are just looking to maximise their income streams, so I don't really see why they should get stick for doing so, they are after all a business first and foremost.
Im sure Vince said at one point that wwe is a entertainment company while TNA is a wrestling company. |

I'm sure it's coincidence and they're not trying to use the hype in the area for pro wrestling.

Don't think that is one way traffic though. TNA by coincidence I'm sure are touring the NY/NJ area in the run up to Wrestlemania. They're doing a show in north NJ during WWE Fan Axxess.

It happens all the time,their is never that many wrestling fans in the one area at the same time. but thats different its not like TNA are trying to take over WWE big event. If i was going to WM I would love to make it one big wrestling weekend catching all the wrestling going on,not just WWE and then on sunday go to the big one WM30.
I just said it because it does seem like TNA is hoping some of the interest in Wrestlemania will rub off on them. |

WWE have always thought of TNA and UFC as competition. It's just they don't want to admit it. I did see something about WWE reserving arenas last week to mess with TNA. I believe of the arenas that WWE doesn't have exclusivity on, they have a 90 day clause in the contract they sign with the arena in order that competition can't use it.

With TNA doing Impact live one week and taped another this might not be as big a problem as it could if they were live every week.I hope its not true but if it is then thats business I guess

I can understand that,but for a company that didnt see them as a threat,it does seem a little underhanded.Im sure Vince said at one point that wwe is a entertainment company while TNA is a wrestling company.

I think that's a very naive opinion - both companies are in the US and specialise on wrestling, of course privately WWE would've been keeping tabs on TNA since it's inception and marking it down as a threat - publicly however it's the "don't care" line that is rolled out.

From Wrestling Observer Newsletter Quote:
The original plan was that the last show, taped on 1/18, would be the final show in Orlando, with the idea there would be no lame duck shows in the venue. You never know how an audience will react on the final tapings. It probably won’t be bad, but there is the possibility that enough area fans will react negatively.
The plan was originally to debut a TNA version of “Tribute to the Troops” that would be taped at a military base on 2/28, which guaranteed a big crowd and good atmosphere, but it fell through. By the time it fell through, there wasn’t enough time to promote a show on that date elsewhere, so they decided to go back to Orlando. |

I hope with TNA coming to the new hydro arena in glasgow, a TV taping would be great
Scotland never has had a taping here. |

You would think so. The crowds here in the UK always help improve the show.

The only issue I have with the UK taping is that they look like a house show with cameras. No set, pretty low rent as far as tv production goes. A pity, because the crowds are very good (both numerically and as far as loudness) and deserve better imho.

I hate the entrances in the UK TV tapings, the way the camera follows behind them as they're coming out. How come they're able to get proper entrance cameras for the bloody Impact Zone but can't for shows on the road?!

I know WWE have a bigger production budget, but when Raw/Smackdown are here you get all the if the TV experience. Here it's like TNA just show up with a few cameras.
