It's weird because sometimes there were points where I just really wanted TNA to go away, but now that it seems inevitable, I feel pretty empty about it. There's no real satisfaction, I just feel bad for guys like Spud who may have problems going somewhere else.

It's weird because sometimes there were points where I just really wanted TNA to go away, but now that it seems inevitable, I feel pretty empty about it. There's no real satisfaction, I just feel bad for guys like Spud who may have problems going somewhere else. That the thing about TNA. So man talent I loved to watch but it was hard because they all got treated like crap, how many times Joe for example was missed used and make to look like an idiot. I wished someone brought them out and had a team together to make it a well oiled machine on a business level. Problem is Dixie has no business running the company. She was clearly a mark that brought into any BS someone told her. I mean first it was trusting Russo for so long with the books when it was clear the show wasn't going no where and nobody liked Russo overrated style. Then you bring in Hogan and co. Hogan creative control was a huge part of WCW beginning to fall. So why give him that when HE CAN'T wrestle for starters and that all fans want from Hogan. No a bunch of promos taking up time. Plus Hogan may know a lot about wrestling doesn't make him a great booker. I mean why in the hell in 2010 anybody believe we need toe Nasty Boys and the Band? Again wasting money on these guys who brought nothing to the table. The only why TNA could have been saved and maybe to late now, is getting someone who has a good amount of money to invest into it and put together a team to run it smoothly. TNA was ran to much like WCW from what I saw from other wrestlers.

TNA can't even afford peanuts at this point. They could go to one of those burger restaurants like Five Guys that has a shitload of peanuts laying around to be snacked on, and steal them by the bucketful. Cashier: "Mr Wembley, it happened again." Mr Wembley: "f***ing TNA."

They should bring back Bischoff. I'm sure he could talk about Immortal for 60 more hours.

They could end the show with Aces and Eights reforming and tearing down the set I got a better one fitting the end of TNA. The final show should be held at the Apollo theater. In the final moments the Apollo clown sweeps Impact off the stage.

The closing moment of the final show should be Janice Carter waking up in a cold sweat and saying "I'm glad that nightmare is over."

I already got tickets for Chikara's King of Trios so I won't be going Friday night, and I work late Tuesday and Wednesday, but I'm considering going to the Thursday tapings. I've been with the company for a long time and I'm sad to see them go. if that's what is happening.

I'm not sad about Impact going away. It's been a dark mark on wrestling for ages now and it's now only brings up chuckles and negative vibes - it needs to go away.
Talented folk will find work elsewhere, and potentially more money than they were already making in TNA. Look at AJ and Bad Influence, they're all doing fine on the indies and making more than they were making elsewhere. I can see guys like Spud and EC3 and Roode and Young and Sanada making a killing on the indies and potentially overseas. It'll also be a much-needed resurrection that the indies needs after losing the majority of their talents since 2006.

I know that Spike is ending the contract at the end of the year anyway, but what's the point if TNA can't even film a show? We've seen WWE bullshit a show just to have it out, but that's a new low for wrestling.

On the positive side it could be that TNA would have to just go dark for a few months then could relaunch on a new network.
No need to detail the negative side, it's pretty clear about that. Not a good situation either which way.

Eric Young finds out that TNA is dying. EY: HUUUUAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! No this isn't happening! There's no reason for me to go on! What- what am I fighting FOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR? ?!!!!!!! Bobby Roode got the same message. Roooooo.....: I should have saved you. I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIIIGGGHHHHTTTTTT!!!!!!!! Four years ago, there was a "war". Between Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and the other... World Wrestling Entertainment. But somebody from WWE woke up to justice, and stood up against this legion, alone. His name was Russo. Later, he quietly reigned TNA, and continued to preserve harmony, until its death. He became a legend, The Legendary Booker, Russo.
