There is no way TNA can survive without the domestic TV deal for long.
This is not very good news. In fact, it is very not good news to say the least.

Everyone keep saying to relocate to the UK. It will not work because anybody on the roster that Matters isn't going to move over seas to wrestle full time. Hell half the roster likely don't have enough bank to move. You think a Sam Shaw can afford that? How will Mangus do it when he has a pregnant girlfriend who also owns horses. They may way call it a day instead of dong that.
There best bet unless they have talked with OTHER networks is doing online shows and still have the shows air on the networks out of country they do have, until they lock on somewhere else. Yes it maybe a step back and they may loss a few people but beat the whole roster. This could be a big thing for GFW however because I bet more people would work there instead of the suggested move.

Its a bad day for wrestling for me anyway, yeah Dixie Carter is stupid, but there are people i.e Borash who worked extremely hard for that company for over 10 years (you only have to ask Bryan Alvarez about him) Everyone keep saying to relocate to the UK.

If they lose talent, then so be it they can use it to build their own stars from across Europe. x3.

For as much as I rag on TNA, them going out of business only hurts American wrestling. With the shine off of the WWE due to them falling short of their claims on both the Network and their TV deal, I just don't see networks seeing wrestling as a viable addition to their channels. So, for the majority of fans the WWE will be the only televised wrestling and nothing good will come from that, there needs to be different visions than just Vince's/WWE's. I seriously think that wrestling in America is a dying medium, while it will probably never completely go away, there's not really anywhere to go but down IMO.

You know, I say this is the final post in the very last Impact thread.

Exactly, for American wrestling its terrible, which is one reason why I find it difficult to gloat about.

More important than all of that, is Panda Energy going to continue funding TNA operations if you can't view Impact on TV in the United States? The answer is obviously no.

You also act like TNA has such a good history at building there own talent when the best one they ever had left in AJ and there next best would be Roode and Joe who I know neither will move. When they are currently using WWECW talent as there main angle yeah lets talk about doing a hell of a job creating stars when there champion is again a former WWE guy.

I mean...f*** TNA. Honestly, that's how I feel if they go out of business.
12 years of unrealized potential
12 years of making the same mistakes over and over and over again.
12 years of just not getting it.
I'm tired of it. Let somebody else try to be the #2 American wrestling company. Maybe no one will take TNA's place but they had their chance and they failed. Miserably, at that.

AJ Styles Samoa Joe The Beautiful People Madison Rayne Christopher Daniels Bobby Roode James Storm Magnus Kazarian Bobby Roode EC3 I'd say TNA have done alright at producing their own stars, and just because a former WWE guy is the champion makes it a bad thing? Aren't former WWE guys who have been released allowed to seek employment else where now? Incredibly stupid mindset to have.

Let's call it the SpikeTV at 9pm section. It'll cover so much ground! So help me I want to do this and then they use the timeslot for infomercials.
