TNA this desperate for money???? + Rock note

[LionDen]

I just came from the TNA main website and I noticed theyare now using ads from advertising agencies you find on normal websites.

Are they in such dire need for cash, they need to do this. I am sorry, I don't want to get into the TNA vs WWE war as i like TNA but seeing these ads on their website has brought them down a notch in my books.

Most professional organisation websites will not be seen with these ads on them. This makes them look desperate IMO and is in no way professional for such an organisation. Next we will see pop ups coming from their pages.

Here are examples, you will see them and they are on all pages. The least they could have done is incorporate them better into the pages.

All it has come down to is, do TNA desperately need money this bad? The answer sadly is yes. They are selling out their professional image to hopefully maintain the cash revenue up for there company. I guess this is not a bad thing, all companies must do what they must to survive but for a company who likes to say they are the "new face in professional wrestling' and is trying to say they are up there with the best, this is not a great look for them to go with.

Just on another note, I notice they are advertising The Rocks new movie 'SpyHunter', just found that interesting.

I don't think they are really THAT desperate for money. Dixie Carter has a shitload of money. It could potentially be a way to get there name out there, or then again it could be a lame attempt at making money.

They're annoying but I know a lot of "professional" sites with them... Also WWE has annoying Ads on their site too all over the place.

Does it mean they're broke? Possibly, but come on they are competing with WWE.

Well, first off, major company sites would not use those ads (ad companies) to create revenue. Secondly, if you look at WWEs ads, they use sponsors, not an ad company, WWEs does not use a web based ad company.

But the point is, since TNA does and has been using its main website in a major way, these ads make it look absolutely amateur.

I never noticed TNA used ads until last night when I used TNA.com to post the No Surrender card on another site. They are getting alittle desperate with the very low ratings, so I'm not suprised

lol, the ads may be there to pay for Angles salary
