With how much hype this has, how much money they have, the time slot and the talent they have, and how awful WWE/ROH has been at TV for years, they're going to have to try really hard to fukk this up.

Luckily they're banking on WCW nostalgia so I have faith they'll find a way to be out of business in a few years. :banderas:

I'm happy for the guys like Daniels Kaz and Scorpio being apart of something big, they put in work for so many years
TNA at its peak was still pretty big by wrestling standards

over a million weekly on primetime television is not small

Starting off in DC with a 20,000 seat arena is gonna really tell about them.

Then to have to do it every week, can’t wait to see the tour schedule.

I’m rooting for these cats. I just hope they do like Lucha Underground n explain who their wrestlers are, their backstory, who trained em, etc.,

If they're smart, they'll pick smark citites where the house will be packed.

Don't be Vince....no one gives a fukk about some arena in West Bumblefukk, Idaho

Even if they ran each city 2x a year, are there really 26 “smark” cities?

Incorporate a few Canadian cities (Montreal, Winnipeg for the Omega/Jericho homecoming, Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver) and overseas (UK, Japan) and could easily get 26 smark cities

26 is a lot.

Off the top of my head, these could be smark cities:
  • Montreal
  • Winnipeg
  • Calgary
  • Toronto
  • Vancouver
  • New York
  • Chicago
  • Philadelphia
  • Baltimore
  • DC
  • Los Angeles
  • Orlando

They're definitely going to run Jacksonville 2-3 times a year, since they own that building. They're definitely going to run a couple of shows in the UK since they have a TV deal with ITV. I would be surprised if they don't have a show in Atlanta this year with Turner being in Atlanta and the history of WCW there.

I think they're just gonna run smaller buildings. There's no way they'll draw 10000-20000 people week to week when the novelty of being a new promotion wears off.

But right now, they should run shows in smaller buildings, run shows in "smark cities" and under served markets with strong indy attendances. Maybe bring in some local ticket sellers to sell some tickets.
