Kind of odd timing that I would be discussing something that was leaked out a couple weeks ago, but all things considered, it’s still pretty noteworthy if they follow through on this plan. Basically, TNA is dumping two of their PPVs in order to increase build up for two other PPVs of considerable importance. The No Surrender PPV? Turfed to make the build to Bound For Glory more memorable. The Against All Odds PPV? Turfed to build to their Lockdown PPV.
For what it’s worth, I think this is a smart idea. PPVs in this day and age are getting up there in price and their importance happens to diminish every year. There use to be a time where PPVs would be the place where you’d get to see stories and feuds come to an end or, at the very least, progress such tales in the next chapter. Nowadays, they’re little more than placeholder shows you have to pay money for… and oftentimes, just build up to some special edition of RAW.
In TNA’s case, their focus should be to try and drum up interest in their Impact Wrestling show. Maybe shitcan a couple more PPVs and do a television special or two in their place similar to the old Clash Of The Champion shows that WCW used to put out. It’s worth considering, I think.
