I heard this weird suggestion somewhere about The Rock starting up his own wrestling promotion. I never for the life of me suspected that The Rock would ever go against Vince, because why would he turn down those truck loads of money per appearance? But then I realized that if he decides to give back to wrestling -- because what it truly needs is competition -- he could very easily set up something with Brian Gewirtz, Dave Lagana and Billy Corgan, or something. If they could just find a way to make it profitable, it could be a little source of constant rejuvenation for The Rock, who just dips his toe in and comes out golden.

I feel silly even suggesting that, but it would be fucking amazing.

Bram regrets re-signing but he's a cop beater and WWE wouldn't want Charlotte's ex to be in WWE.

Corgan ended up settling with Anthem Sports & Entertainment and is pretty much out of TNA now.
Meanwhile TNA is expected to lose one of their other on-going lawsuits since they are almost guaranteed to be hit with a default judgement for pretty much ignoring the court case. Quote:

Also, it's really rare for a court to grant default judgement at this early stage regardless. Not impossible for an order of default judgement to be issued, but it's just not likely to occur on Wednesday. Especially if anyone representing TNA (attorney or not) shows up. That being said, if TNA fails to respond further after this, the court would easily issue an order of default against TNA in the future. |

Corgan got a settlement? I wonder how much the gift card to Sunglass Hut was for.

at the basis for Corgan thinking he had actual power on TNA being a simple chart TNA management and/or Dixie showed him listing him as president.
Turns out Dixie named him president just for the sake of it and never had plans to actually give him any power in the company. Only wanted his money because of how desperate they were at the time. Corgan got fooled/conned big time. |

Apparently the lawsuit Corgan has with Dixie Carter is still technically active despite him settling with Anthem and TNA. Has to do with how he withdrew the lawsuit since it had some stips attached in case it ever needed to be reactivated in the future.

The brand is unsalvageable. Re-brand with a new name, logo, colours etc. The whole presentation needs to move.
I would have Matt Hardy destroy the set with drones. Then launch a new wrestling company. Fuck TNA's legacy. |

Apparently TNA tried to fool their way out of another lawsuit as a way to get it dropped due to a technicality. Unlike the successful Corbin attempt, this time it didn't work and the judge ordered the lawsuit to continue.
Wasn't as sneaky or elaborate as the stunt they pulled against Corbin fooling him into thinking he had any real power and/or ownership of the company. Quote:

Don Harris, however, is employed by Aroluxe, and they did the old switcheroo on them all the time.

It's fully done.
TNA bought by Anthem, Dixie gone Also they're doing house shows in 2017 Jan 5 through 12, they'll do 12 episodes of Impact, a live One Night Only PPV, and additional material. |

At least they are doing house shows again. Doing 3 months of shows in a week isn't good though. Thank god Dixie is gone though hopefully Anthem can do something with TNA.

Kind of ruined what was good about them though. Before they were a nice alternative to WWE. Once they started competing with WWE their product changed to match more of a WWE show and when that didn't work they just caved into Russo and lost their TV network and it's been down hill ever since. They have good moments every once in a while but a lot of it is swing and miss.

Yeah, that period of having Christian, Rhyno/Raven feud and AJ/Joe/Daniels putting out those matches was the only time I kept watching. Then after the Hogan/Bischoff thing, it started getting shit.
If Joe did go to Smackdown, I hope WWE hire The Addiction. Great tag team and could have Daniels work a couple of those matches again, but on the big stage. |

I want the Addiction in WWE so bad. WWE Universe love to let wrestlers know they deserve it. Daniels and Kaz are two of the most deserving talents not in WWE that deserve a spot. I'd be happy with a spot in a tournament like the CWC though were they would have a little bit more freedom than what they would on the main roster.

I watched TNA pretty regularly for the first 6-7 years of its existence. Then my interest started to wane after the Main Event Mafia stuff ended and Hogan/Bischoff basically killed it dead after that.
I loved that one night of flipping back and forth between the two live shows, but TNA looked so second rate trotting out people like the Nasty Boys in 2010. |

The early stages of MEM were worth it for Chet Lemon/Black Snow on commentary and Scott Steiner being Scott Steiner.
Then they merged with World Elite and it became dumb as fuck. |

The Broken Hardys need to enact the Freebird Rule so that King Maxel, Senor Benjamin, and Vanguard 1 can all be the tag team champions.

The One Night Only shows boggle my mind unless there is a niche audience I know nothing of. TNA house shows are second to none in terms of the entertainment to dollar value. At least it was around the AJ Styles/Angle/Joe/Beer Money era |

I guess that if they already have the building and cameras there with everything setup, it will probably get enough buys to cover the extra couple of hours they have the rent the bulding for.

TNA ended up losing the lawsuit against American Express recently. Puts their current record at 1-1 with a couple more lawsuits still active.
According to court reports, TNA lost by default due to refusing to be involved with the case and ignoring the extension the court provided to them. Quote:
