I believe it is with the gentlemen's agreement that you actually keep it on route for a reasonable amount of time (give the game a chance and also get it exposure).

Granted, things change and if the game is not earning well for him, then sometimes you need to sell and make room for something else.

I am honestly surprised it is not doing well as everyone I have talked to with a route game talks about how well TNA does and hoe easy to keep clean.

Sorry, i should have been more clear. I meant in general, the reason route games were able to go out ahead of line was so they could get on route and get exposure. The gentlemens agreement was just that.

Sounds like in your case it was to get it to the show.

Like i also said, on route things are different for each operator and location. If it does not earn then often you have to move it along even if you personally like it.
