| #1 Posted on 23.2.11 1117.40 Reposted on: 23.2.18 1118.34 | So this is the latest industry-shaking event promoted by TNA. Apparently everyone should tune into the closing moments of Impact to see the guaranteed surprise of the year.
Any ideas? I'm thinking they've landed Batista. I don't think Jericho's interested in burning his WWE bridges with such a blatant backstab, especially given his effusive praise of WWE and criticism of TNA in recent weeks. Promote this thread! | | John Orquiola

Given that Impact has already been taped, it's clear whatever it is, it'll be pre-taped (unless they go "live" to the Impact taping in North Carolina - but that would just be odd). | InVerse

As such, I'm going to guess that the show ends with Dixie Carter walking down a hallway and Vince Russo comes up behind her and yells "Boo!", causing her to jump. | It's False

I assume the surprise will be a pre-taped thing, like the way they announced the signing of Kurt Angle back in the day.
Which is why Sting in the wooden shack seems like the obvious choice. | Matt Tracker

I never watch TNA, but follow it somewhat by reading about it. If their press release contains the actual surprise, I probably couldn't find it. But, I found something else...
SO YOU WANT TO HEAR THIS ONE WACKY JOKE? "THIS THURSDAY, DON'T MISS THE FINAL MOMENTS OF IMPACT FOR THE MOST SHOCKING SURPRISE OF THE YEAR - GUARANTEED!"

Heyman has said he won't be coming in, and they'll never drop the PPVs because that's probably their biggest source of income.
Agreed on that last point. | hansen9j

They *should* be TNA's biggest source of income, but instead they have such small buys that they're not much more than breakeven. I'd imagine the Spike contract is by far their best source of income.
(Which does *not* mean that they should be focusing on ratings over PPVs, because a) they don't get paid any different if the 3/3/11 or 2/3/11 Impacts do good or bad, and b) the PPVs in the past have been a reasonably strong source of income for them.) | PaulKTF

That brings up a question- how much longer will Spike put up with TNA's dead-in-the-water ratings and inability to gain any sort of traction? |
