PCO Says The Goal Of TNA Wrestling Is Bigger Venues, ‘You Don’t Have To Lose $40 Million To Grow’

PCO comments on the direction of TNA Wrestling. 

In January, IMPACT Wrestling will once again become TNA Wrestling, reverting back to its original name and ushering in a new era. PCO was technically the first signing of the TNA era has he re-signed with the company after the rebrand was announced. 

Speaking on the Generation of Wrestling podcast, PCO was asked about the goals of TNA Wrestling. 

“The goal would be to go to bigger venues, but maybe not right away for all the TV tapings. Hard To Kill, before we were at Sam’s Town, this is at the Palms. Different building, nicer place, bigger place. I think there will be some major ones during the year and a difference you’ll see in TNA. Also, the fact that a lot of people with IMPACT would call it TNA. The lineage of TNA, even though it was the same, it looked like two different companies. Now it feels like IMPACT is Raw or SmackDown and TNA is WWE. It feels like a bigger name altogether, more well-known. Everybody knows TNA. There is that vibe where there is something special about those three letters. Something big, special, unique, and it rings a bell. The nostalgia effect is big too. The lineage, the nostalgia effect, and the direction the company is going. I feel like you don’t have to lose $40 million a year to grow your company. You can grow a company with still making money. You don’t have to lose money every year in order to build something. It can be something you build more solidly and constantly instead of go sign everybody and go big right away. I don’t think you can buy time. I don’t think you can step on time. I don’t think you say because I have money, I’m going to shave ten or fifteen years of what someone else would have done. In a way, you can because you need money to make money, but I don’t think it’s a matter of money. There are so many places where you have to be careful when growing something, whatever business it is,” he said.

PCO wrestled at IMPACT Final Resolution, defeating Jessie V on the Countdown show.
