Detalhes sobre o Hard Justice

Não tenho tempo para traduzir, mas isto compreende-se bem. Alguns detalhes sobre o Hard Justice adiantados no programa de rádio da F4W

The commercial sent to cable and satellite providers is listing the August 8th PPV as "Hardcore Justice: One Last Stand,” and at least at one point in the commercial the fans chant "ECW!" Keep in mind, years ago when Shane Douglas did his Hardcore Homecoming show WWE pitched a fit and demanded they edit out the fans' "ECW!" chants. TNA is walking a very fine line here in terms of the legalities of this angle.

Tommy Dreamer is booking the angle and apparently they've deviated strongly from whatever the original invasion angle was going to be.

They were busy calling former ECW stars this week to see if they would be interested in working the show.

TNA, after making life difficult for ROH in a number of ways, including demanding different finishes literally at the last minute in the past and charging large fees for talent, now needs a favor and wants Jerry Lynn for the August 8th PPV to bring back RVD vs. Jerry Lynn one last time. I don't know the contract status of Lynn, but he's very good friends with Cary Silken of ROH and the feeling from one person in the company is that contract or not, if Lynn wants to do the show he'll do the show. One thing to note is that Lynn was up for an agent job in TNA last year and they ended up giving it to D-Lo Brown, Pat Kenney and Al Snow.

Dreamer suffered a torn meniscus in the ECW angle last week. Old guys in getting hurt shocker there. He said he's not getting surgery.

Uma pequena nota sobre a venda de PPVs da TNA

In a scary fucking stat, it is believed that the May and June TNA PPVs did approximately 8,000 buys each. Keep in mind they were doing 25,000 to 30,000 back when they had TV at 11 p.m. on Saturday nights. I cannot imagine Victory Road doing much more than that. That's a gross for the company of about $111,000, and if you consider the costs of running a live PPV they're now losing their ass on these shows. For a comparison, and for those trying to defend Vince Russo as a booker, I think WCW at the bitter, bitter end was still doing around 40,000 buys on PPV. It's bad enough that nobody is buying the shows, but worse, people care so little about TNA that statistically nobody is even bothering to stream them for free. According to a source in monitoring, there are usually 30 to 50 unique live streams for wrestling PPVs with an average of 1,000 viewers per stream prior to the streams being terminated. For TNA Victory Road last week there were only five streams across all the major live streaming sites (Justin.tv, Ustream.tv and freedocast.com). The show had less than 1,500 viewers total. WWE streams are in the triple digits with most averaging 60,000 viewers, and UFC tends to have live viewers in excess of 200,000.
