TNA's announcement regarding their new pay
per view schedule. The new concept came after most of TNA's contractual
obligations with pay per view providers expired. The plan to limit the amount of
pay per view events is nothing new and was actually years in the making from
what I've been told.The current TNA pay per view business strategy is to cut
costs by moving some of these shows to a taped format while giving TNA time to
bolster the production of these new pay per view events; Possibly adding extra
content in between the wrestling matches.
The lower cost factor is to
help TNA bring in more casual wrestling fans to purchase the smaller pay per
view events. TNA also has plans to heavily promote the events via their video on
demand service
TNAOnDemand.com
which gives them a greater revenue share than traditional pay per view venues.
