Great, now people got me wantin' TNA on Netflix. However with the formats how they are TNA would be better a fit for Hulu.

Netflix uploaded From Dusk Till Dawn weekly, wouldn't be any different from what TNA would need to do.

Still use PPV channels for the big 4, and have Netflix have the rights to streaming after the 2 weeks on the channels. Add in the back catalogue of matches from the past 10+ years, and it could be an interesting offer.

I just don't think TNA would bring Netflix much more activity. It'd be fun for the TNA fan that already has Netflix, but as much as everyone shits on the company I don't think it being on Netflix would push them to finally getting it if they haven't already.

im not a fan of tnas product the last 4 to 5 years.well,basically since hogan-bischoff the product has fucking sucked.before that i thought tna was on a roll.i enjoyed the hell out of aj styles 09 title run.at their ppvs he was having really good matches and i was beginning to be a tna fan.however,i dont know if they can fix whats been broken by the hogan/bischoff era and id be happier with a different wrestling product on spike.ROH would be ideal but isnt likely,this would be a perfect opportunity for jeff jarretts company to take a great primetime slot.

I don't think TNA should even be thinking about bringing in the extra viewers, just managing to stay alive at this point. It could help sway people who were on the fence with the Network, or who don't have access to the Network(outside US) and offering TNA alongside Netflix's line-up. It wouldn't ever be a huge sway, but it would give TNA a home, and has the potential for a large amount of footage for Netflix cheap.

No I get how it'd be beneficial on TNA's side. I just don't see how they could really convince Netflix to take them. They're best bet is that Netflix is doing well enough right now that they're willing to try some new stuff, and they can bullshit an argument.

Netflix has some odd WWE home videos, and some UFC stuff. I think I seen an ICW & GLAM documentary as well, it was all rated, so it gets viewers.

I don't see why TNA wouldn't be a good option for them, its cheaper than producing their original programming, and they would have a weekly update of new content.

TNA's library is already up on Youtube.

Thing is, I don't know if anyone would actually go out of their way to watch Impact on Netflix, and that wouldn't drag them out the hole they dug themselves by not having a backup plan.

I can't speak for people in the US, but I know in the UK a lot of netflix subscribers are students who tend to have a lot of time on their hands during the evenings, so I can imagine a lot of them might watch a show like TNA if it was on there. I would watch it as something to unwind to even though I don't really like TNA.

Time would be better spent trying to find a girl or guy.

I'm sure they do a little too much of that...
No such thing as "too much of that".

Sure would be more productive and enjoyable than watching TNA.
