Simple because the NCAA tournament was over. So the men that didn't turn in last week turned in this week.
Bully Ray is the higher power there is no more hidden members.
The biggest boom period in pro wrestling was the Rock & Wrestling Era. They should not have the same guy in charge of creative and talent relations. Planning out storylines in advance is the right thing to do but when your major storyline is Aces and 8s it doesn't work because it is taking over the entire show. They should have multiple storylines going thru out the show some should be long term and others should be short term. Yes you can have another boom period in pro wrestling but you can't do it by recreating a older era you need a new era. The Attitude Era worked for that time frame it wouldn't work now. The country is much different then it was then.
Vince Russo was working on a team in the WWE he wasn't working alone. When he is working alone is when he fails. He worked alone in WCW and he was working alone in TNA until Jeff Jarrett was removed from power in TNA. No one in wrestling should ever be in charge of both the creative and talent. That is too much work for one person. TNA's ratings were going down before Russo left the company. Ratings isn't the only thing a company should be focusing on. Attendance and PPV buys matter more because they bring you in money. Anyone who knows anything about the rating system will tell you that they do not tell you truth about who is watching your show. It has always been a flawed system and when you look at ratings networks look at certain demographics way more then they do the actual rating which you have never pointed out.
Not thrilled at all that they plan on this being a 2 year long storyline. I do think it is interesting that Hulk and Eric aren't apparently getting along. Spending so much time on the Aces and 8s is hurting the growth of the rest of the company.
Adding a 3rd hour to Impact actually would be a good idea for TNA to do. You are right that starting Impact at 7PM would be a huge mistake but I would have to assume that someone soon that Spike is going to want to get the most out of Bellator as they possibly can so it is going to have to move time slots. Having Bellator start at 10 and end at Midnight isn't doing the show any favors. Once that happens TNA could pick up the 10PM timeslot for the 3rd hour. Moving TNA yet again would end up killing the show. Most shows do not survive being moved around that much.
When you are doing more then one show though you are putting added pressure on to the creative team. When you do that to a creative team you end up hurting your overall product see WCW when it added Thunder and WWE when it added Smackdown. TNA doesn't need to have 100 hundred wrestlers under contract that is far too many for any wrestling company.
No because any positive is outwayed by the negative plus there are many people who were more important like the founder Jerry Jarrett.
I think adding new shows especially shows that aren't reality based is something that Spike TV should have done years ago. For the life of me I don't know why it has taken this long for Spike TV to do this. With that said they have a sister station geared towards women so they don't need to make Spike TV more women friendly they just need to add better and more original content. To be honest Viacom as a whole needs to look at its networks and move a lot of there TV shows around to different networks. Mtv, VH1, and CMT being the biggest ones. Those are music networks and that is all they should be. All of their shows that don't involve music should be on one of their other networks like Spike TV.
I hope this is true he is a good addition to the roster.
I am surprised that TNA is bringing in Adam Pearce because a year or so ago he said in interviews that neither WWE or TNA were interested in him because of his age. I hope that TNA signs him he brings something different from anything else you see on mainstream wrestling plus when he retires he would be a good addition to the creative team. I believe that they need a wrestler on that team that isn't Hulk Hogan.
