TNA is behind on paying workers again.

 

Quote

TNA is currently behind on pay with their production crew, with some workers being owed money from as far back as March and January. If you recall, there were several reports of late pay in the last year, including the company owing Bobby Roode and Eric Young over six-figures. Theres belief within the company that Aroluxe Marketing has been loaning TNA money so they could continue taping Impact Wrestling. PWTorch.com claims some TNA production staff have been told they will be replaced at next months taping.

KO might have been injured at live event too

 

Quote

Kevin Owens may have suffered an injury towards the end of his match against Sami Zayn at Sunday's WWE live event in Columbia, South Carolina. Sami won the match with a Blue Thunderbomb but as soon as the pin was counted, referee Charles Robinson threw up the dreaded "X" for help from the back and Owens was helped out.

Why end Raw with contract signing between Nattie and Charlotte. No chance Nattie is winning the title. Another boring Raw. Jericho was the only thing entertaining. This whole feud between Styles/The Club/Roman/Usos is so boring. Have someone else debut joining The Club. It's so boring. They've already managed to mess up Anderson/Gallows. Show after show all it is the same brawling between the two sides. Frack I want The Shield to reunite and feud with The Club.

Sounds like Impact might not be renewed by Pop TV.

 

Quote

Pop TV did not include TNA Impact in their Upfronts listing for the 2016-2017 slate of TV programming.

“The network’s upfront programming line-up includes over 400 hours of original content and a diverse mix of eight original shows,” Pop noted in a press release. TNA did not make the cut.

At the very least, it indicates that Impact is not a priority to pitch to advertisers, especially in light of Pop battling uphill to draw ad revenue for two hours of original Impact programming on Tuesday nights.

In the Upfronts announcement, Pop stressed their original series “Schitt’s Creek” starring Eugene Levy and other programming in the works they are proud to present to advertisers and think could draw in new ad dollars.

At worst, it means Pop is not planning to renew Impact when their deal expires.

Most likely is Pop has soured on Impact, both in terms of not drawing enough revenue and not coming close to the 1.0 million viewership mark that Pop president Brad Schwartz unrealistically predicted before Impact debuted. If ratings were good, Pop would emphasize Impact as their most-watched program.

Further capturing Pop’s lack of attention to Impact, there is currently no mention of the TNA Hvt. Title match between Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley airing on tonight’s Impact. Also, there is no graphic or general notice for Impact airing Tuesday nights on Pop. The website is highlighting Schitt’s Creek and their “New Kids On The Block” program.

Overall, Impact has struggled to fit in on Pop TV since debuting in January. Pop’s programming skews toward female viewers, whereas Impact reverses to a 65/35 split of males 18-49 vs. females 18-49. Impact has not drawn consistently enough viewers to make up the difference and appeal to Pop’s standard advertisers.

Pop tried to shift the Tuesday night replay to Saturday mornings to create a second audience, but the replay timeslot only lasted four weeks. The first airing drew decent viewership, but the last three airings drew about half of the audience.

Through the first 19 weeks of 2016, Impact averaged 372,000 combined viewers on Tuesday nights, DVR viewership added an average of 43,000 viewers per episode, and the the total audience average was about 415,000 viewers.

Guess I disagree with most here, the Syles/Reigns Family/Club feud has been super well done and very entertaining IMO.  Only part I don't like is calling them "The Club" -- and also how weak Gallows and Anderson are being booked (the punching bags).

 

Otherwise, good feud.
