>Have one of the most stacked rosters a company has ever had, with even more ROH talent nearby during the golden era of indie wrestling
>"Let's put the world title on Jeff Jarrett 20 times and have blindfold cage matches instead"

Why are all the WWE alternatives so retarded? It's so bad that any company could kill it by just having decent booking but instead they get booked by even bigger retards.

Jeff's reign of terror is 10x worse than Triple H's. Also bringing in Russo after ruining WCW was a peak retard decision.

Wow and they still couldn't draw a house like AEW could on their opening night with 0 TV? AEw just drew a bigger house in Mexico than Impact has anywhere.

And they did so poorly on ppv the cable countries couldn’t even calculate their numbers. And there was so little interest they ran out of a theme park instead of touring. But if guess because more people had cable and were willing to tune in to laugh at it that it must be good.

No fans are leaving wwe for a new product. They just quit wrestling

It's an unavoidable cycle lasting around 10 years that they all run into in some form (WCW, TNA, Sinclair ROH, AEW)
>Their mere existence is only justifiable by investment from a TV network
>Even if they have competitive salaries, the people who are even *willing* to sign a long-term contract with an unproven secondary company are desperate ex-WWE names, friends of people in creative, and indie talent who aren't high on WWE's radar
>Phase 1: exhaust their first few years on TV from having to tard wrangle the above groups of people while hotshotting the product to secure continued funding
>Phase 2: get a renewal (or equivalent), things fall apart due to something stupid but inevitable, but their new deal lets them survive another few years
>Phase 3: sell the company when the TV company cuts them off

The OSW fags trying to brainwash wrestling fans into thinking that fag was good is really funny. He is such a cancer to wrestling

I remember when TNA did their "Gutcheck" thing which was supposed to be them showing indie talent and then signing them, then they got thrown into developmental and we never saw any of them ever again, it was rough. Especially because at the time the indies had guys that were unsigned like Kevin Steen, El Generico, Adam Cole, Chris Hero, Brian Cage, Roderick Strong and the like.

This is why I keep saying these wrestling companies shouldn't even fool with the TV networks anymore, they are irrelevant and they are also the first to bail when things go wrong. Every fucking time. Just look what happened with the NWA when they tried to get on the CW, that's one recent example I guess. WWE offered them more money for the timeslot, and CW immediately dropped the NWA deal. These niggas be like Darth Vader, just dropping and altering deals whenever they want. And if someone offered them even more money for that timeslot, they would drop WWE too. These network kikes should not be given any say.

The Insane Clown Posse proved they can book a better show than TNA's writers back in 2006 when they were booking their first house show.

At least Anthem is giving them a platform.

True, TNA is better off than most because Anthem also owns AXS. That's probably the main thing that has kept them afloat. And I would agree that JCW mogs just about everything else despite never getting any credit.
