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. Rf l, Highspots, and KC, are gonna make a killing, that rf shoot with bad influence is gonna air some dirty laundry

TV wise, what are their options? Fox Sports 1 would make a ton of sense or have it on one of their FX/FXX channels, but...I'm trying to think of another network that could potentially have them.

They have no options really. Meltzer made a pretty good point on LAW, that Fox Sports didn't even make a play for the WWE this year, so why would they bother with TNA? Not to mention Fox Sports being tight with UFC, and no Network is going to pay what Spike was paying for what is now a cancelled show. We're just waiting on the eulogy now.

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... You forgot the event that is Chris Masters in a sombrero.

damn. part of me hopes they get a new deal but another part hopes they don't. They have had a lot of top class talent at their disposal over the years, put on some great matches but never seemed to understand what they were doing. When guys in the business talk about how marks like us don't know what we are talking about they will always be able to point out dixie carter and tna - its a shame though because she was a fan working her dream and now that dream appears to be dead. Shame.

Man, what timing for this TNA news to come out. Just as Sting makes his official debut as a part of WWE at San Diego Comic Con.

Once they couldn't offer AJ a decent deal and Sting left, you knew that it was only a matter of time.

It's possible they weren't looking to spend WWE type money, but they'd consider TNA at a bargain price. Probably not too likely though, especially being this close to the new TV season in the fall.

Yet another thing we potentially won't be able to post *WWE buys TNA* *FAN posters no longer able to embed HE'S FAT videos* *the REAL cost of TNA going under sinks in for our userbase* *sad faces*

Russo isn't really that bad...
Russo gave us probably the most interesting of all the tna periods. Any time not involving Russo kinda is a boring mess.

Not a chance Fox even thinks about getting after it. If Murdoch is able to purchase Time Warner, they'll become a real threat to ESPN with all of the outlets Fox would have a direct connection to. Even if that doesn't happen, Fox Sports 1 is the last place I'd expect to see TNA. They're going all out with hiring big named talent and getting the rights to things like the World Cup in 2018. Fox wants to be a big time player. If anything, some network that's not carried everywhere will give them a shot. If you want me to name one right now, I can't. It will be some smallish channel that not all operators carry. It cannot be understated how much they're devalued just b/c Spike doesn't want them anymore. They'll be lucky to get half of what they're getting now, if anything. A smaller network will not be able to bankroll them and if the onus is on TNA for production costs, they're pretty much done. I don't see Panda bankrolling them without a deal that gets them at least decent exposure on a national level.
