TNA question

If they were to get a TV deal, wouldn't they just end up like ECW? Or do you think they have the type of show to get a good following?

It would depend on what kind of support they got from the network. They might be small at first, but being on cable would make them a strong #2, and they could build off of that. ECW didn't get any help at all from TNN, which was part of the problem. They wouldn't be as well off as WCW, since they had Ted Turner backing them up, but they'd be better off than ECW.

TNA needs a big financial supporter, they do got a show on Mark Cuban's HDTV network though or whatever, i think its just Xplosion though...Cuban would be a great financial backer, i heard some fed Hogan and Jimmy Hart were trying to get off the ground was trying to get Cuban as a backer...

Also it depends on which station gives them the deal also and the time slot...i think when ECW was on TNN, wasnt it still mostly showing country music shit? and rodeo stuff and that rollerball shit?

Yeah, TNN was still the hick network when they picked up ECW, and they also didn't promote the ECW show at all, so no one had any idea if or when it was on. Plus, they gave it a shitty Friday night time slot when pretty much no one in their target demographic would be watching anyway.
