I've just read all 30+ pages of this, and the one main thing running through the entire thing is how stupid is Dixie carter? only the top scientists in the world will be able to tell us. She got conned by the best liars on the biz. Jarrett, Hogan, Bischoff, and Russo.

Who are the announcers in the 'Oh shit it's Vince Russo!' clip?
As for the possibilities of a new TV contract...well...if I were a gamblin' man, I'm going all in on BFG being the curtain call. For as many cable networks that exist, most of them are owned by a few corporations. For example, TNA just can't go to CMT and expect to get a contract when CMT is owned by Viacom, the same company that owns Spike. Unless a network like WGN America that is trying to build a brand decides to get back into wrestling after that Superstars debacle, I don't see too many viable options for TNA.

Vince Russo, when not kept on a leash by Vince McMahon, is the bubonic plague of wrestling.

Just to recap: So far this year: -Fan revolt in relation to WWE's booking -CM Punk walks out and quits the WWE -Snuka case was rumored to be reopened -Launch of the Network -Network/WWE TV contract underperforms, leading to trouble with the shareholders -Bryan out with a career threatening neck injury -TNA goes under partially due to Ninja Booker Russo accidentally cc'ing an email to a wrestling journalist -the Undertaker loses at WrestleMania -two New Nations -WWE signing up most all hot International/Indy prospects -Ultimate Warrior makes peace with the WWE and subsequently dies in dramatic fashion What a roller coaster of a year, what could possibly even be next!? In the future we'll look at this year as the tipping point, for good or bad I'm not sure. ROH rumored to go on sale... WWE talent having issues with their payoffs...

She got conned by the best liars on the biz. Jarrett, Hogan, Bischoff, and Russo. for the third time in the case of russo? when even two companies said not to take him back or they wont do business with her company. there's being gullible and there's being incredibly dense. if you get your fingers burnt once you don't put them back into the fire twice more to make sure it's hot.

Russo was tapping that ass or hooking her up with pure Colombian blow or something, there's no other explanation for her stubborn defending and constant rehiring of one of the worst creative minds in wrestling history.

I'm not defending her, she ruined people's lives, even cost her family shit tons of money. Then again if for example, I would get in the restaurant business without knowing anything, people would definitely take advantage of me.

Vince Russo is walking down the hall until he see the Beautiful People...
Russo: Hey ladies. Angelina and Velvet: Hi Vince. Angelina: We're giving everybody pleasure since this is TNA final hours. Velvet: We have a plethora of services, like handys, lap dances, stripteases, and fellatio. I swallow. Russo: A lap dance sounds good, and fellatio sounds exotic. I'll take those two. Angelina: Too bad that neither of those will happen. Velvet: Swerve! Let's go, Angelina. Russo: What a twist...

Alright guys, this means that we are gonna have to go IN on these last few Impacts. I mean, hold nothing back. Just let a decade+ worth of venom, disgust, anger, confusion, and just general disappointment out. Let it all out. This is the goddamn FAN thread World Series. You really think we could top "AJ Apparently Pregnant?" We have to try, damn it!

Sean Waltman called her "a ostrich with her head in the sand."
I don't know if she's stupid or just too stubborn or naive to see the reality.

Can you really say Jeff (and Jerry) Jarrett conned her? It was his company after all until Bob Carter and Panda Energy bought it. And dumb Russo stuff aside, TNA was a hell of a lot better when Double J was in charge compared to when Dixie became really hands-on.
I guess we'll have to wait for the inevitable Rise And Fall Of TNA book for the real answers.

Blame goes to the Carters and nobody else.

I know that it's been said a bunch of times already, but I cannot wait for all of the dirt to come out about this company, because you just know that it's going blow minds.

Joking aside there's been so many cool moments in TNA, surreal moments and great matches the course of the lifetime.
I own a couple of TNA DVD's(around like 04-06) and back then it seemed that they had a hell of a lot of promise. Bad for competition of the business, only having WWE on national TV, but honestly TNA was never really competition.
