If they run out of material, Spike should just end it then, it's not fair to Spike in that case, who have been the best partner TNA could have ever had. I'm wondering if Jeff Jarrett has been holding off GFW simply to wait for guys to be out of their contracts.

I feel as though Jarrett will pick up some of the guys he may like, guys like Eric Young, Gunner, Angelina Love and James Storm. I'm also interested because if the Lucha Underground deal is a success, them, GFW, New Japan, ROH and maybe even WWE will all be vultures flying around TNA waiting to pick the bones. One issue though is some guys might end up being f***ed and stuck on the indies for the rest of their careers.

Imagine if TNA had gone to Full Sail instead of NXT. TNA could have mooched off the Full Sail students, paying them in "experience" like WWE does.

lol yeah no one is picking the menagerie or gunner Honestly, I think Crazzy Steve as a performer is going to be a success wherever he winds up. He took what should have by all means been a one-dimensional character with the stupidest most forced name on the roster and flushed it out by sheer performance into one of the best received acts on the roster. If he can do THIS MUCH with a thoughtless clown fodder gimmick in 2014, just imagine what he can do with a character he can really sink his teeth into. Plus, he has over a decade of experience and HE'S ONLY 30. That's someone I'd want to have on board with my company.

Hire a new production crew that will work for peanuts. TNA can't even afford peanuts at this point. You'd be amazed how little a production company will work for, as long as you don't give a shit about quality. Hell, I wonder if I can pitch my job for the job...

If they can't make shows why not show their One Night Only Specials And throw away all that sweet, sweet PPV money? It's enough to buy Mike Tenay a carton of cigarettes!

For me personally, Crazzy Steve is like this underdog story of a guy who did this gimmick around the Ontario indy scene, and now he's on national television, and people in the crowds actually cheer for him, despite how bad the Menagerie is and what a disaster that whole deal has become. So I do hope he goes somewhere and does something with his career after TNA, but I feel he'll be one of those guys who will be left out in the cold once TNA is done for.

Instead, watch this Melendez guy catch on with someone instead.

I'll say it again: TNA is that old pet who's time had come, but every time you look at it you think of all the good times and can't bring yourself to make that call to the vet and put it out of its misery, so you just keep waiting and hoping the poor thing will go out peacefully on its own. And then finally comes that day where you say "enough" and just can't bare it anymore.

Just show old episodes from 2012 featuring the BFG Series or do themed episodes like the best of the X Division or Tag Teams. Hell, air 2 hours every week of Rebel and Brooke Tessmaucher have a twerk off.

On the plus side, if TNA does somehow survive, they find new people, they get on a new network, Spike turns the corner and somehow renews them, doing a restart like this could be a benefit, and you build to the first Impact show of the year. You do these shows building up guys, you do vignettes, stuff like that. And then, maybe, MAYBE, there's hope.
