For all the talk over the years that China and India were the golden geese for wrestling companies, why haven't we ever seen those big money contracts that transform companies? As sleazy as it might be, the WWE Saudi Arabia deal did more for WWE's bottom line than any of the other things they have sought after!
Well, the TNA TV deal with Sony Six in India kept that company alive when it would have otherwise died, so I think we can make an argument that deal at the time transformed TNA by keeping it going. In the case of the others, there have been deals but when you are dealing with such different regions and rules, it takes time and the right deal that makes the sort of money you are referencing that WWE makes via the Saudi Arabia deal doesn't come along often. My feeling is WWE will keep cracking at those sort of deals, as will others. There has been interest in TNA circles in the past at trying to lock in deals with other countries in the Middle East as well, but to the best of my knowledge, they just didn't sign any deals - yet.
What happened to TNA running a top ten traveled city for Bound for Glory? I mean, no offense, but DETROIT?
They changed their plans, obviously. We were told that they were likely to do London but in the end, decided to remain Stateside. It was a company decision. They had the venue and ideas locked in but never went forward with the plans. Having 3,000 in Detroit isn't a bad Plan B.
What do you think will be the BFG main event?
If it was me, I'd consider Nic Nemeth vs. Joe Hendry for the main event.
Why is WWE suddenly doing meet and greets and sponsorships from alcohol companies? I thought they were PG?
They were. Then Vince McMahon sold it. New world under Endeavor. The old rules, traditions, etc. are as The Cat used to say in Red Dwarf, "deader than corduroy."
Could WWE bring back the guest hosts idea? I was thinking Mike Tyson since he's fighting on Netflix.
They could, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I am sure if Netflix needed WWE to assist them with something, WWE would be game to do it.
