I want more of this, WWE needs a good up the ass.

I'm a little surprised Smackdown was canceled. I mean, it has more wrestling than Raw. I haven't seen Smackdown in a while but I'd of thought it was on more equal footing with TNA than Raw, quality wise.

Congrats to Dixie and the rest of TNA, this is a big win for them. Hope it's the first of many, replacing one of WWE's shows has to show their competition.

Wow it's like a perfect conspiracy

This is a small win for Dixie and TNA. Long may it continue!

Rather than compete dircetly with WWE in the States... areas such as Europe and Australasia are starved of mainstream wrestling.
Even WCW used to sell out in Europe when they couldnt draw a dime in the States in 2000.
Go to the markets that will pay to watch your product.
