we have tommy dreamer living off from ECW's memory, who's gonna be the guy that in 10 years is gonna be exploiting tna? I'm voting for the cowboy Tommy Dreamer will be wearing twitter pants and urging 16 people in a jr high gymnasium to start chanting TNA Tommy Dreamer "TNA Original" I can actually see that happening, its depressing that Tommy's mentor, Paul Heyman, has a simple formula for his genius and success, the only rule to be succesfull "NEVER LOOK INTO THE PAST, MOVE FORWARD".
Paul used that idea to make ECW what it was, stop using the WWF rejects and built towards the future, always built the new guys. I think he taught that to his pupil Dreamer, that ECW is long dead, that the style of wrestling is dead. I think Bryan Alvarez said this after seeing the short program Dreamer had with AJ Styles, "Dreamer's style is a bankrupt style". Hardcore is dead, as TNA will be soon.

Damn that just doesn't sound good does it? I guess it's going to happen, I hope they go out in a random swerve of glory like TNA should and deserve to do after all these years...because...well...it's TNA

What's weird is that Jeremy Borash is filming a new show called TNA Legends, LOLTNA being LOLTNA they're probably gonna show clips of Kevin Nash and Booker, and if they're dying soon its irresponsible to do the Gutcheck show too, but its tna we're talking about.
Damn I've been joking since AJ left that TNA is in terminal condition, I just didn't think this day would happen.

What about their UK Tour? Should I even risk getting tickets for it? It might be their farewell tour or it might just be cancelled. If you get tickets, they'd be refunded anyway. Main problem is I live outside England so hotel and the flight to London can't be refunded.

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. Squid from the movie Holes said it best for this kind of reply. "Yeah, and maybe my dad will stop drinking and my mom will finally come back home"

I was thinking about the possibility that they might be trying to link footage of modern-day Impact Wrestling and then cut to an Xplosion promo cut in a grimy bathroom done by a handheld camera.

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. They could hire the college kids who worked in the production truck for the old Continental territory that Mick Foley mentions in "Have A Nice Day!" Yep, believe it or not, 25+ years later and they still haven't graduated yet! Well, that just says Bound for Glory is the last real show it seems unless they really get a new US TV deal else where which looks like its not happening. What was the point of signing at TV deal for several years in Africa when you had no future six months from signing. I just love the idea of TNA continuing to film TV shows for their foreign TV rights holders at shows held in America, while they do not have an American television outlet.
