* Dixie sent out the following tweet: "Negotiations with @spiketv are ongoing. Stay tuned and be sure to tune in this Thursday night for Ultimate X on #ImpactOnSpike!!" Is this a spoiler? Is there an Ultimate X at Destination X or is Dixie panicking amidst her damage control attempt and forgetting the name of her show? There is one for one of the two DX shows, thought it was the second one though.

I don't remember anyone here saying they should "go for broke." Most people seemed to encourage the idea of TNA continuing to progress as the WWE Alternative rather than trying to reignite the MNWs. This is... all my fault. For 5 years now, I've been there, with TNA, shouting, BEAT EM UP GUY! FACE IT STRAIGHT! TRIUMPH OR DIE! and GOO for Broke!

The Wrestling Fan: Die monster! You don't belong in this world! Vince Russo: It was not by my hand that TNA is going to die. I was called here by Dixie to write the scripts. The Wrestling Fan: Scripts? You ruin characters and make them your slaves. Vince Russo: Perhaps the same could be said of all promotions. The Wrestling Fan: Your words are as empty as your soul. Wrestling ill needs a loser such as you! Vince Russo: What is a jobber? A miserable little pile of midcard. But enough talk, have at you!

So you were the fool marking out in the crowd whenever Kurt Angle would moonsault off a sheer cliff face and into the ring... "GO FOR IT, MAN!"

Ok so this ISN'T a done deal yet? Should probably change the thread title...

Get that news out of here. I prefer to deal in wild speculation.

Look RIC, I like you but there's no room for facts in a thread celebrating the potential death of TNA.

Interested to see what will happen for the UK too, they have a Challenge TV deal don't they? If they find a venue to record things in the US maybe something could happen. This is TNA after all, if they were the company to survive this then I'd probably be unsurprised. Based on what Meltzer is saying, the international deal(s) aren't even close to being enough to keep TNA afloat. They need a TV deal in the US to continue running in their current form. I imagine they could survive by scaling back to ROH/Chikara levels, but would the Carters/Panda continue funding an operation that small? They should. An operation that small would cost a lot less to them.

I still can't get over Vince Russo being a reason for this. Everyone knew he was a cancer to the business 15 years ago, and yet his finger prints are all over the creative direction of another dying wrestling promotion. Dixie's incompetence is mind boggling here. So I guess Jeff, the Dudleyz, and Angle can go back to the WWE now. Everyone else will be scattered around Japan, ROH, etc, most likely. Does anyone want to see Jeff, the Dudleyz or Angle back in WWE... Treated like conquering gods who will only work with Cena, HHH, or Lesnar while everyone else is treated like bums?

Certainly it wouldn't be the first time the media was wrong, but I just don't think Bauer, Meltzer, and TMZ would have jumped the gun unless they will told by people close to it that it's not getting renewed. I think it's toast.

Man, what if TNA can pull a victory (or at least not take a straight-up "L") from the bowels of their drawers and get back on Spike?
We may have to wait another 12 years for TNA to be in this position again. I just don't know if I have that in me...
Just...stay calm, everyone! TNA is still gonna die.

If they survive.....hold tight for a re-run of the ECW 'Network' story-line. I personally can't wait.
