Bischoff would have. When he found out it didn't have a TV deal, he gave up on it. I shouldn't have to remind everyone that the rumor is that Bischoff sabotaged it from inside to lower the price. I don't know if I believe any of that or not, but it'd be foolish to say that it was irrepairable at the point that it was sold. I don't think drawing it back to smaller venues would have been the answer either. It was a household name at the time. Shrinking it to WSX or TNA size with no name wrestlers would be no better than selling it right out. It was losing money to poor management and bad booking. The fix would be to fire the guys who aren't on TV anymore. Stop paying D-celebs to make appearances, and come up with better storylines again.
