It was up against basketball. Good numbers all things considered.';

People were just saying a month ago that TNA was going to beat out AEW as the second biggest promotion in the US. So no. Also weird thing to hope for even as a fan of WWE. They only benefit by having AEW around';

'Is there ever any actual proof of these PPV numbers? The reporting on them always uses the word 'estimate' somewhere along the way. It always seems so suspect.';

'>>14428539
I mean it's only 500. They could just ask on twitter who bought the ppv';

'>>14428161
The real and simple answer is that wrestling is very niche and basically no one capable of high-level business decision-making understands it operationally or financially, so networks are only willing to air it if it's already proving to be a cash cow. Money marks are the only ones willing to actually invest cash in a wrestling fed, so the industry is naturally very unstable because feds can fall apart in an instant but are difficult and rare to actually grow or become profitable. Also WWE and AEW have really cannibalized the entire alternative wrestling scene of anyone with a crumb of talent.

>How is it still alive
Unironically, its name. Even a has-been fed has a strong competitive advantage in still being seen as above some literal who indie. Just the fact that people wonder what happened to TNA gives it more viewers than basically every indie combined. Up and coming wrestlers are still willing to go to it because it technically elevates their career. This is the same reason that AEW buying RoH was a disaster. It kicked a ladder down.';

'Is this only buys through cable? Buying it through Triller or TNA+ would be way more popular.';

'I unironically love Total Nonsensical Aids';

'their ppv hard to kill in january got 22k buys. if they had kept any sort of momentum from that, i could see them getting at least 10k but damn 500??!! big kwab';

That was 30 minutes of ppv time alone. Then you have shitters like The System (Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards), Trent Seven and Crazzy Steve still allowed to be with the company taking up space on ppv and tv';

Streaming is always much more, plus Meltzer 's maths don't add up anyway. 83% drop from 22000 isn't 500';
