I would like to have your opinion on the following: Hogan and Bischoff (rightfully) get a lot of flak for getting a, as a guess, pretty high salary, yet not promoting the company the way they should (which would be Hogan's part) or giving the ratings a spike, but what did happen in my opinion, almost as soon as they arrived, was this: The overall quality of the TV-production, the presentation of Impact! and the PPV's increased drastically. What's your take on this ? Have you noticed the aforementioned as well or am I just giving them, Bischoff in particular, too much credit for this development ?
Eric Bischoff has definitely helped TNA upgrade its overall production. Without a doubt that is the best thing that he has brought to the company during his tenure. He definitely understands production.
Do you think Wellness Policy suspensions being worked into storylines diminishes what they really stand for in the eyes of the fans? The talents getting shelved for the violations are being put there to address a breach of a policy instated to address potential long-term health problems. It should be kept separate from storylines.
It depends on the situation and how it is done. In Jeff Hardy's case, I have no problem with them addressing his past given how he appeared on a TNA PPV. It should never be trivialized or done for a joke however, like they did back in WWE with Road Warrior Hawk.
Could Brodus Clay be the anonymous GM? It might explain the delay for his debut.
Nope, incompetence is the reason for his debut getting pushed back. He has been formatted into the shows but has been cut due to them "running long". Now if you ask me how a professional television production company could consistently make mistakes in formatting the segments on their shows where time is concerned, I don't have an answer. As for the GM, it appears WWE has just dumped the character without explanation, not that I am complaining.
If WWE ran a Saturday Night's Main Event or some prime time special on NBC in the late 90's/early 2000's how do you think the ratings would have done? I ask because the last few tears SNME and tribute to the troops special s do not do very well.
Better than they do now, largely because there were less choices back then. Today there are more channels and more ways to view content, so ratings overall for all shows have dropped. Plus, WWE was hot back then so more people would have watched SNME for that reason as well.
What happened to the Mid Card Mafia Cartoons, I found them to be entertaining, but then they suddenly stopped and deleted off Youtube. What happened? Too much heat??
That is the word making the rounds. The videos were pretty funny, but WWE management didn't exactly appreciate their message.
