TNA openly admits that Victory Road was the drizzling shits.

Okay, maybe not in those exact words, but this is an official quote from their website:

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO TNA WRESTLING FANS REGARDING SUNDAY’S VICTORY ROAD PAY-PER-VIEW

TNA's response in a nutshell....

"We're sorry that we subjected you to three hours of crap. Please accept our gift of three HUNDRED hours of crap, instead."

Somehow, I'm not exactly impressed with this by way of an apology. Call me unappreciative if you will. I remain unimpressed.

TBH, at least they are doing something. Its not an admission that they never should have let a bombed off his head Jeff Hardy out there int he first place, but at least they are taking some action to give something back to the fans, and and for that at least you have to give them some credit.

And to be fair to TNA, within the TNA tape library there are some great matches and great shows which are worth watching, so it a decent reward. The fact that it may also encourage people to make paid use of their on demand service after the free period expires also does them no harm.

So really, I don't thing you can criticise TNA for this move. Feel free to continue to rip the hell out of them for the mistake that lead to it, but this is a decent enough response I think.

I think it's good of them to do this. WWE has had some shitty PPVs in the past, but I have no memory of them admitting how terrible things went in a particular PPV and giving the people who paid to watch it something to say sorry.

Yeah but I dunno if they've had such a public un-professional performance from one of their employees like TNA did. TBH they could probably get in a whole heap of trouble for letting Hardy out there completely blasted like that.

Here's when Dave blindsides me with "Actually back in... XYZ" :p

Pick just about any PPV the WWE did in the 1980s and someone was Coked off their tits. Hogan was regularly raging. Shawn Michaels also appeared on RAW several times during the mid 1990s drugged up to his eyeballs.

Difference is, unlike Hardy, they could still perform.

I agree with DS on this one. As much as I think they showed lousy management at the PPV I think this is a geuine attempt and a decent one. OK, it will get them a bit of extra revenue (they hope) but it is a worthy gift back.
