TNA President Carlos Silva Comments On His Desire for TNA Impact to Air Live Weekly If They Can Secure a New TV Deal to Make It Financially Feasible

Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown on SI held a recent interview with TNA President Carlos Silva. One of the topics discussed included Silva’s thoughts about his desire for TNA to air Impact! live weekly if they can secure a new television deal that would make it financially feasible for them.

“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.
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.”

Silva also gave his thoughts about Impact! going live weekly is something that the fans have wanted as well.

“I know the fans want us to be live every week. I want to be live every week. It’s why we’ve started to open up some more live windows, because I think the wrestlers perform differently live as well, and they’ll tell you when we have our meetings together, they love the energy of live. And so really, that’s the linchpin of what it would do for us as we sort of go to the next level.”
