It is not entirely clear who will end up in power and run the company if and when the deal being negotiated goes through, and what percentage of the company, or if the entire company, is what is being negotiated. One source with significant knowledge of what is going down said the new group is unlikely to get involved without owning a controlling interest. Also, regarding speculation in various media of names involved, all of the speculation is way off, that much I know. It doesn't appear Viacom has any interest in buying the company (even though TNA gets far better ratings than Bellator, it's not as valuable because it can't get the corporate sponsors or ad revenue) and the parties involved come from outside the pro wrestling industry. The people who have at least been negotiating the most seriously are not from Viacom. The people involved have been successful in a number of other businesses. Just my gut says they are buying it more as a television property with the idea that future rights fees as those number escalate for sports will make it valuable.

The fact sale negotiations are as far along as they are and Hulk Hogan wasn't signed seems to indicate the new ownership group didn't feel he was a priority in the deal, or else TNA would have been aggressive in locking him up.

Or y'know, they could arrange some deal with TNA similar to last years Ric Flair/Christian thing where KURT FUCKIN' ANGLE can come out, suplex the holy fuck out of everyone, maybe eliminate one or two reasonably big names before being eliminated himself.

Come on, who wouldn't jizz in their pants if Angle's music hit during the Rumble. :drool:

You'd think that with the WWE wanting everything to be interactive that they'd let their wrestlers do that kid of shit more.
