I think given time TNA will improve., the only problem is that it has taken 9 years to get where they currently are and they still haven't had a high moment just a succession of low moments.

Absolutely not. I've gotten back into the habit of never missing an episode of Impact, and I'm enjoying it for the most part. Sure, there's stuff I don't care for (Mexican America, the KO's in general now, mentally challenged EY etc.) but I watch every week, and the show is generally entertaining to me. I'd actually be pretty damn disappointed if it went away. I mean, yeah, there's ALOT of stuff I'd like to see change about TNA, but I definitely want them to stick around My feelings exactly.

. Looking at the incompetence in the front office as well as the blatant allowance of drug abuse until it's far too late to do anything about it (the Hardys), not to mention the utter disregard for their talent (Konnan, Daffney), the wrestling world would be a lot better off if it did die. Agreed. Couldnt have said any better myself.

I honestly don't want it to. Yes there are faults, but like WWE, there are not so many that it ruins it for me.

AJ Styles was THE guy when TNA started and through a lot of the company's history. Nowadays he takes a backseat to (insert former WWE/WCW main eventer here), but even then he's usually involved with at least the upper card, if not the main event.
He's nowhere near Ziggler/Swagger, who were in the main event for a cup of coffee. I'd put his status in the company among the same level as Shawn Michaels in the WWE for much of the 2000's.

Ziggler and Swagger had 1 world title run, and Dolph's shouldn't count, honestly. AJ has 17 championship wins in TNA. He's the first Triple Crown winner, the only Grand Slam champ. The man is ingrained into TNA viewers heads as "Mr. TNA". I think he's even work more matches in TNA than anyone else. At this point, he's more in the HBK role. I also go again how TNA hasn't had AJ built him, cause he built the X-Division, he was built up by TNA as the vanquisher of Jeff Jarrett during his reign of terror TWICE, was one of the main faces during the angle with the Mafia, then the leader of Fortune. If his ass isn't cemented at this point, anything short of putting a gold statue of AJ in the front of the Zone, Rocky III style won't do it. Not arguing your point, but figured I should point out Abyss has been a Grand Slam champion as well. Oh, you're right. I forgot he got that after his X-title win. Man, why are we talking about Joe? What about a new main event push for Abyss? *waits for hundreds of posts going "NO!"*

To answer the question, I have given up hope on TNA ever getting better...........but I wouldnt wish that company would die at this time, I wish Panda Energy would just sell the company now.

No. I forgive them for almost every slight and infraction because I am a fan. I also have a good enough memory to recall the reasons I stopped following WWE in 06-07 and am well aware that TNA could easily become the same type of show.

I don't see WWE even really bothering with a Rise and Fall dvd. They might use their library for like a Kurt or Sting dvd bio; but that's about it.

I don't really want them to die...
But people saying they don't want Vince to have a monopoly on wrestling... he wouldn't with all of the indy wrestling out there, like CHIKARA and RoH.
and even if you meant mainstream wrestling... He still kind of does now... I fail to see how it would be much different if TNA disappeared.

Why would I want a company to die and have people unemployed? Just so I can have a DVD?

I don't wish it, but they deserve to die. Mikey: Do you think companies who hire Gunner should last 10 years? Herr Hund: No sir. Mikey: Do you think a company who job out The Pope should last 10 years? Herr Hund: No, sir. Mikey: Do you think a company who hire Jeff Hardy should last 10 years? Herr Hund: No. Mikey: Well what do you think should happen? What would be a fair length? Jackrabbit $lim: Objection! Mikey: Do you think they should deserve to die? Jackrabbit $lim: Don't answer that Herr Hund! Mikey: Do you think they should DESERVE TO DIE?! Herr Hund:YES, THEY DESERVE TO DIE AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!

I don't wish for any place of employment to die. I didn't want WCW to die, I didn't want ECW to die, and despite the vast amount of problems I have with it I don't want TNA to die either. Yes, it's not perfect, in fact there are quite a few problems I have with the company, but it is at least a place where people can make a decent wage... for the most part, as well as a place that gets talents more exposure than they normally would outside of being employed by the WWE, of course.
But that said I'm not going to shed any tears if or when they do. TNA made its bed by putting all of its eggs in one basket, television, and once that basket breaks they are in some serious trouble. Honestly if they are that stupid to rely on the chance that they'll stay on television and completely ignore pay per view, a business that if utilized correctly could help them survive long enough to get on another channel if they were to for some reason get kicked off, a looming possibility considering the rumors of Spike rebranding as well as UFC being on it's way out.
Dixie Carter won't have anyone to blame but herself for it either. Well... Russo too, I suppose.

I don't wish it, but they deserve to die. This. My feelings towards TNA are that I love their existence, I love there being an altenative product. I love more places of employment, I love there being another true national promotion. So I root for them to thrive. I just really don't like the product itself, TNA. So they have to be around. For now. I'd really rather it be another company, some new promotion, ROH, whatever; I wish another company would come along and be the new #2 promotion, and once that happens, to hell with TNA; but for now, it doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon. Therefore, I don't want TNA to die, I'd like TNA to just improve, to not be such a walking parody, and to be a real alternative to WWE that I can enjoy. It just needs to whip itself into shape, and then hell, maybe I won't even want another company to come into the picture.

No, especially not just for a DVD, that's probably the lamest reason anyone could come up with.

I don't want WWE to buy them out, but I think wrestling world and wrestling fans would be better off if TNA ceased to exist.
I'm speaking as someone who has had enough of TNA just being either bleh or awful with flashes of brilliance (actual brillance, not wrestlecrap lulz brilliance) few and far between. I stopped watching the company in the spring. Just been burned too many times.

I do. I want them to die like right now. I hate TNA. I hate everything TNA stands for.
Replace the people in charge and then I'll be willing to give TNA a chance, right now I just want them to die.

TNA was never and never will be the wrestling alternative fans want. This is just a dream. Wrestling fans are desesperately hoping for TNA to be that alternative, truth is this is not the case and will never be.
