That, plus the company is called TNA. Who wants to be associated with that?

Honestly someone just needs to put them out to pasture Old Yeller style. TNA isn't even a joke anymore. It's just sad watching something suffer like this.

The product that they put out is good in my opinion. They have built some good young talents in the last couple of years that can carry the company to the future, if one exist. The problem they have is management, feel like the Carters don't take TNA serious and put the money into it that they could. Wish they would sell TNA even if its not cancelled.

Also Meltzer from the Observer called out TNA's lawsuit bluff with saved emails and documents sent by TNA to him to prove his side of the case if it actually goes to court. |

Any company going out of business is sad for all those who work with it.
However don't think anyone working there will be surprised by it. I assume many will end up working for GFW anyway, which given the launch is around the time TNA will fold will probably work out best for everyone. Question is, how can GFW ensure it doesn't suffer the same fate as TNA? Particuarly if it ends up with a similar staff and roster. |

TV deals seem hard to come by theese days. I'm worried the Jeff won't find one as soon as he thinks and will just be tunning house shows for a while. His talent will be locked up somewhere else if he doesn't hurry and get one. Moose has already signed a 2 year TV exclusive contract. Chucky Taylor is having a WWE tryout soon. Pretty sure Tyrus is TV exclusive with TNA for now.

Doubt Jeff will make the same mistakes he did in TNA. I think he is over putting himself over and wants to make money while being in the wrestling business.

WGN is a Chicago based network. So if get just simply set up shop there and just do tours overseas, then I think Chicago being a wrestling town, can get behind it if they label it a Chicago based organization.

Not sure how real this is, but I actually cannot wait until TNA ends at this point. They have some phenomenal talent that will find work elsewhere. They've got some big enough name stars that could return to the WWE and create a bit of a shockwave (mainly Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy). TNA just keeps these guys hidden away from the view of people who would otherwise latch onto their personalities.
So many of the guys would work in either WWE or GFW -- which hopefully doesn't make the same mistakes TNA has. |

I think Kurt and Jeff will both end up in GWF if anywhere. Neither of them is cut out for a full time WWE schedule, and while it's not out of the question that Kurt may be able to swing a Lesnar schedule or non-wrestling role, or that Jeff could do short-run returns like Jericho does, I think they would both find better situations being the star power for GFW. WWE's only interest in this point, as has been said, would be getting their hands on the tape library to fill the career gaps of the likes of Kurt, Jeff, Booker, and Sting. I seriously doubt you're ever going to find a "TNA" section under PPVs on the Network.

Also since GFW is in the conversation here, given that TNA got its start doing weekly PPVs, I could totally see GFW starting off with a poor man's WWE Network with a 5 dollar subscription doing 1 or 2 PPV type shows a month, then once interest has built up, make those two shows ostensibly your "Raw" show and then have a traditional PPV every 2 months or so, eventually bumping the online shows up to weekly.

More details regarding this issue from the recent Radio Observer show.
Supposedly the Observer tipped off TNA about the cancellation since Meltzer wanted to know if the story was true or not. Ended up realizing Dixie likely knew well beforehand and was livid about anyone else finding out (inside TNA or publicly). That's how the rest of TNA managed to find out what was happening with Destination America and TNA itself. |

Do you think TNA should rejoin the NWA ? I mean the NWA carries so much prestige and when TNA broke away to do their own thing the NWA kinda fizzled. If they changed to the National Wrestling Association and became the NWAs top promotion then they could use the other promotions as a development system. I don't know if the NWA would go for it though. Its just crazy to think that the NWA isn't to relavent in wrestling today.

They probably should, but how the fuck a terrible organization like TNA would convince them to re-associate with them after having gone their own way for something like a decade is beyond me.

If Ethan Carter III defeats Angle for the TNA World Title, I hope Angle wins the NWA Title and shows up in TNA with it and claim's to be the Real World's Champion to get under EC3's skin.
