Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 TNA ahead of the curve. Your move WWE, DO A PPV ABROAD DAMMIT. Preferably, Wembley Stadium. One Night Only PPVs aren't live though, no way WWE would do a taped PPV. There would be spoilers everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3Claye Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Eh, what's stopping them? They do the RAW's in UK and the results get posted... There's the taped Smackdowns.. Albeit, it is definitely PPV money that they might have a small percentage of losing, but still.. So much for TNA dying. A dying company wouldn't even THINK of making a deal agreement like this.

Nor would other companies even agree with said dying company, knowing the risks involved with their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
