I already posted this elsewhere, but it deserves to be included in this grand memorial thread I'm building.

How about the time they had two human penises managed by a guy named Mortimer Plumtree?

There was apparently a heavy focus on penises.

TNA decided to hold a concert during their first ever show. Problem with that idea was someone forgot to test the mics so nobody heard the guitar playing for the first portion of the song. Played more of the song after the mic was fixed only to have Jarrett interrupt saying it sucked. |

TNA has a long history of ridiculous matches and championships.
This is an explanation of the rules for a golden spit cup. |

According to SESCoops, TNA could be facing a third lawsuit soon since they also owe money to Fight Network who is a minority owner of the company.
SESCoops managed to find some financial files TNA sent to the state of Tennessee and it revealed Aroluxe very likely is the mysterious investor who funded their recent ppv and tv tapings. Same files also revealed Dixie personally owes Billy Corgan money which might have played another role in Corgan's lawsuit. http://www.sescoops.com/exclusive-wh...-corgan-money/ |

Surely if it's likely to be subject to this much legal action, no-one (including Corrigan) would want to take it over? Who wants to buy a company which is about to be sued into bankruptcy?

I love how convoluted the whole thing is. Everything that can be in dispute seems like it is. Why would anyone want to be involved in this to any degree?

Really all any interested buyer would have to be willing and able to do is pay off the company's various debts (talent, AO1, Aroluxe, Anthem/Fight Network, looks like Corgan is personally a lender too, etc.) and any applicable interest earned (either at a contractual rate or the statutory 10% or less APR) on the money owed and everything would be fine legally. In reality, most of these case will most likely settle before trial (either by new owners or the current ownership) or TNA will go bankrupt under the current ownership. I'd be willing to bet that Corgan agreed to lend TNA money and had Dixie personally guarantee TNA's debt to him in exchange for Corgan having a minorty interest and the right of first refusal to match (or better) any offer to purchase TNA. Not only that, but Dixie as majority shareholder owes a fiduciary duty to the other shareholders (including Corgan) and TNA's other lenders to sell the company to whoever offers the most to TNA that would allow TNA to pay off the most of their debts. Dixie and Gaburick's tactics during the earlier rumored sales negotiations potentially breached both Corgan's contract with TNA/Dixie and Dixie's fiduciary duty to everyone who owns or is indebted to TNA. |

I will, watch as much wrestling that airs on TV and if TNA went under there would be no wrestling on Thursday night. Of course they could go under a Corgan take what he wants and starts his own promotion.

According to the Observer, TNA currently owes around $3.4 million in unpaid debts and that's not counting money owed to employees, Corgan, or anyone else not listed below.
Also they have already started to sell their tape library to pay off debts which might be another reason why WWE is no longer interested since they no longer can get it all at once. Quote:
Also the state of Tennessee is already threatening to seize TNA property if they continue to fail paying taxes they owe. Quote:
According to a report from PWI, TNA's wrestlers are rumored to be considering filing a breach of contract against management if they keep being late with payments. Quote:
Based on speculation going around the net, Billy Corgan has spent between $2 million to $3 million funding previous TNA tapings prior to this month and his push to become TNA's new owner. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 10-14-2016 at 09:07 PM. |

Apparently the ratings and viewership for this week's Impact show were both the lowest since the move to POP TV and since TNA was on Fox Sports Net during their early years (2004-2005).
Being rumored the tv deal they have with POP TV might be on a year-to-year basis for the opt-out stuff so POP could potentially kick them out as early as January/February 2017 if they wanted to assuming its true. |

Is Billy Corgan really that rich? I'm sure he's pretty well off, but if I was him I would not be investing that sort of money into something like that.

Supposedly, Billy has a net worth of around 50 million dollars, so he probably has enough money to outright buy TNA. I think these lawsuits are a way for him to get "leverage" to get control of TNA from Dixie. Billy seems to genuinely want to buy TNA and run it.... I guess it's just a matter of time till we see what happens... |

I just don't understand why you're buy something that has the stigma and debts that TNA has. At this point the product is beyond repair. There is no appreciable fanbase -- everything about TNA's identity has been whored out and chased away. They have Abyss and an X-Division Title belt that just got thrown onto the ground.
Why doesn't Billy Corgan go and start a new promotion? Why doesn't he get together with Toby Keith, Rick Rubin and whoever else wants to sink money in, go to a proper network and make a pitch for a one-hour wrestling show that they can build up? A few years ago, Corgan was reportedly told by his financial people that getting involved in Major League Wrestling was a bad idea. I don't know where Corgan suddenly got this money he can sink into such a pit, but I feel somewhat sorry for the guy and everybody who is trying really hard to exist there. |

The only thing I can figure is the amount of time and money it will take to get a new tv deal as a new company is more than what it would take to get TNA's issues resolved.

Jeff Jarrett tried to start a new promotion with GFW but without a tv deal, it could never be bigger or equal to TNA and all his plans quickly fell apart. Lucha Underground has TNA-like problems with money but because they have a tv deal, it at least gives them a chance at succeeding or finding big investors than if they didn't. |
