Carlos Silva: I Would Love For TNA To Be Live Every Week
Carlos Silva continues to push for a big change in TNA Wrestling.
Silva has been vocal about the promotion’s ongoing media rights deal discussions, previously saying that he’s seeking roughly $10M per year and that the company is currently in a 60 to 90 day window to close a deal.
Speaking with Jon Alba of The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, Silva once again reiterated his desire for TNA iMPACT! to be live on a weekly basis.
“I think the first thing, I mean, I’m a live guy. I’ve been a live guy my whole career. The team that we’ve built believes in live, I would love TNA to be live every week. Live, every week, is a different animal, logistically and operationally. I know the team that we’ve got can handle it.”
Silva went on to say that the cost structure would change if the company made the decision to go live weekly.
“The partnerships that we’ve got would support it. But there’s a different cost structure around going live 52 weeks a year, whether you’re in a location like a performance center-type of place, some of the year you’re traveling, part of the year, it just changes the dynamic around operationally allocating your costs. And I think that would be the first thing that would change.”
Lance Storm recently commented on the issue, saying that he doesn’t want to work a full-time schedule anymore. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
