Is TNA growing? To everyone asking this question, I would refer them to just about every anti-TNA columnist writing on the internet today and have them read something new from them about the product as it sits right now. Almost every column I read is believing TNA has turned their game around. I will grant that they have their opinions about their value as it relates to WWE, but the fact of the matter is that TNA seems to be swaying people. Do I see THAT as growth? Absolutely.
If you want more evidence that TNA is growing, look at the UK crowd on the last 2 weeks of Impact. The sound was deafening and they were into it. Few things kill the mood of a product than a dead crowd, but these people were lava hot for TNA. To those who went to see the shows in either Manchester or London, you guys have MY thanks, but also the thanks from the guys from top to bottom of the organization.
You're still not satisfied? Let's look at some more figures. 4,300, 2,500, 900, 1,500.....these are some pretty good numbers for tapings and house shows. Fact is, these are up from a year ago....when TNA's house shows averaged about 650 to 700 fans last year, these are AWESOME numbers. I LOVE to see the numbers going in TNA's favor and not just because I'm a huge fan of the product. I love seeing another place for wrestlers trying to make it in the business to go. WWE isn't the only thing on the block anymore and THAT is good for EVERYONE. Ask any fan from the Attitude Era what made it so great and they'll tell you that it was because WWF HAD to think of new stuff because there was someone else to compete with.
With TNA growing, the talk of another show is picking up, people. Wait for it. It's coming.
