Within TNA's announcement that they are changing their PPV schedule, they noted that they are moving Victory Road from July to March and Destination X from March to July. With Destination X, they have specifically named the date July 17, 2011. This is the same day that WWE has Money in the Bank scheduled for. One of the companies will definitely change the date of their PPV. Anyone wanna' bet it's going to be TNA? source: EWN
We'll currently TNA simply does not have the kind of pull that WWE has some yea i'm willing to bet TNA will try to switch there PPV.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if they went head to head on this one PPV. Force both of them to have a great PPV.
It might be good for booking purposes, but I TNA would still lose a lot of PPV buys, simply because WWE has a more established fan base, and in all likelihood, if a wrestling fan has to choose between the two, they're probably going to take WWE.
But if WWE gives you Shemus vs Dolph Ziggler main event compared to Jeff Hardy vs Mr. Anderson. What would you rather see?
No question I'd rather see a Hardy vs. Anderson main event. My point is that more wrestling fans are WWE fans first and other brands second. If what people cared about most was in-ring stuff, then ROH would be the most watched wrestling program in the US. Instead, it's not, and that's because the WWE has been around for forever and has established a really good fan base, so they're able to get away with poor booking, and would still obliterate a TNA PPV in head to head buys if TNA was stupid enough to let it happen.
If WWE knows this is happening, they'll have a better card. Also, as an in-ring performance goes, Ziggler is the best of the four you mentioned and Ziggler-Edge is going to be a good match, regardless of Ziggler's lack of main event status.
I'll have to disagree, as I'll take Hardy over Ziggler any day of the week. Dolph is solid, but I much prefer watching Jeff in the ring. His style is much more entertaining to watch for me. And I agree, Ziggler vs. Edge should be good since they're both damn good in the ring, but I just don't like Ziggler hitting main event status out of seemingly nowhere. I know they've been giving him small pushes with how long he held the title, but seriously, main event status the night he loses the IC title? Seems unnecessary...especially with how beatable of a champion he was.
