1.針對Vince McMahon 前幾日對TNA的不屑言論,Eric Bischoff也在Facebook上展開回擊:“我想VKM公開抨擊TNA的真正原因是因爲他在本周的WresteMania "go home"版RAW上失去了一百萬的觀衆吧。WWE的PPV正在被UFC宰殺,而任何周一晚的競爭對手對其而言只是一種傷害。
(後面的話有點...,請原諒我不翻譯了,有興趣的朋友自己看看吧)
- Eric Bischoff has lashed out against Vince McMahon for Vince's recent comments on TNA. Here's what Bischoff wrote on Facebook:
"In response to a well articualted point by member Ben Salmon, I think the real reason VKM reacted publically to TNA is the fact that in the "go home" week of his show, he LOST 1 MILLION VIEWERS going into his make or break PPV of the year. WWE's PPV business is getting slaughtered by UFC and ANY competition on Monday n...ights is only going to hurt. Thats why he's gone from "no sell VKM" to selling like an Avon Lady.
So according to reports, Vince McMahon, the guy who wanted to watch his son-in-law perform a sex act on a dead body, asked me to make out with his wife AND daughter, owns a boat called "Sexy Bitch" and wanted to me to promote "Hot Lesbian Action" on his show considers TNA "tawdry"..come on Vince, you are a lot of thing...s (and many that I admire) but don't be a hypocrite."
1.雖然TNA將節目移至周一播出,表面看來與Raw打擂臺風光無限,實際上公司存在著很大的潛在財政困難,自從1月份開始,公司的選手就已經擴至超過了70人,這當中還包括一些拿著高薪的摔角明星,如Ric Flair、Rob Van Dam、Jeff Hardy 和“Mr. Kennedy”等,現在公司又增加了一筆龐大的開銷,節目放到周一播出,需要大量的宣傳,如電視的廣告、紐約時代廣場的廣告牌等,相比於其上座率不高的 house show和銷量不高的商品,都暗示TNA的這些舉動收效甚微,實際上這幾期周一節目收視率都徘徊在四年裏該節目的最低點之間。有內部人士爆料,TNA的財政困難比想象中還要嚴重,而那些現在在TNA工作的人們也存在很大的不確定性。(譯/小邪)
