SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
TNA has booked four title matches for Tuesday night’s Impact episode on Pop TV.
The “Gold Rush” Impact following up on Slammiversary is scheduled to feature every title defended except for the Knockouts Title.
- New TNA World Hvt. champion Bobby Lashley to defend TNA Hvt. Title
- New X Division champion Eddie Edwards to defend X Title
- Eli Drake to defend King of the Mountain Title
- The Decay to defend the TNA Tag Titles
TNA will announce opponents during the show, which will be semi-live on tape delay from Universal Studios in Orlando.
Impact will also feature the 2016 TNA Hall of Fame announcement.
Caldwell’s Analysis: It’s tough enough asking fans to spend $40/50 on a single PPV purchase when WWE has set the market at $10. Turning around with four title matches on the show after a PPV makes it even tougher on the paying customer to feel good about the order.

If TNA cut the PPV price to $9.99 – given how many people actually order them – how much would that affect the buyrate?
