TNA is going out of business... AGAIN
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, TNA does not have shows scheduled after June including television tapings or pay-per-views. TNA's contract with Universal Studios in Orlando, FL is set to expire at the end of June. No word regarding a possible renewal, or if another venue would be considered for the "Impact" tapings. Additionally, there have been no further discussions of running house shows, PPVs or Fox Sports Net specials outside of Orlando.

At the 4/5 tapings, some TNA employees were shorted on money including agents, announcers, referees and wrestlers.

The mood backstage at the 4/5 tapings were described by some as a "death watch." Dusty Rhodes has incurred a lot of heat as head booker of the promotion. Sources are claiming that the idea to book all six sides of steel cage matches at the 4/24 Lockdown PPV either came from Terry Taylor of Jeff Jarrett himself. Some have suggested this was done to blame Rhodes when the PPV failed to attract a strong buy rate, thus the company would replace him as booker.

There is a feeling that Panda Energy might not be as supportive of the project as once thought.

WOW, he said the same thing about TNA a couple of months ago. This "Going out of Business" image is getting TNA a bad wrap. Ever since the company started there has been thousands of rumors about TNA going out of business. I'm sure TNA is getting tired of these rumors. This is like the 1000th rumor of this. Remember TNA only had 90 days left after Victory Road.

No big loss.

If / when it does happen, way to blow a good deal boys.

That's what, the 3rd time this week? :D

Anyway, this is how shocked I'll be when they DO go out of business. :|

I'm already there :|

I wish there was a reaction lower than NO reaction.

See they are not having any more shows because they are going to go back to Nashville for 2 months and then come back on Spike in September. Watch

I am very close to getting a cheap pop splaya, so for the love of god... tell me you are being sarcastic?

Don't blame me... Aiii voted for Russo.

Good, now the X-Division wrestlers can hopefully go to RoH and everyone else(cept Raven and Abyss) can retire

They would risk losing money and viewers just to have an exscuse to get rid of Dusty Rhodes?! Jesus christ, no wonder TNA can't get ahead, Jarrett is too busy playing games to keep himself from looking bad backstage. Just be a man and fire the ass hole, why the elaborate scheme??

For the love of god, I am really wishing that Ted Turner would buy TNA.

I don't know if this is true or not (This crappy booking sounds like it could be the brainchild of Dusty).

However, in a promotion where the top spot is locked due to ego, is it that surprising? Is it really different than the WWE? I mean, come on, they made Smackdown WORSE because they wanted Raw to appear as their flagship show when negotiating with Spike.

IMO, the only real difference is that the WWE can afford to pull stupid juvenile shit, and TNA can't. However, this might not be what sources are claiming.

Or maybe the bookers think they CAN afford to be this stupid.

Simpsons rules, :y:

TNA < my dog taking a shit

Don't get too cocky. ;)

Ok mabey I got a LITTLE carried away. But, I thought I could get it past you, I failed. :(

I think Rikishi could do a porn on cable and draw better though.

I cannot believe I read that..the image I got immediately was absolutely sickening to the point where I wanted to puke.
