I've been loving Brittany lately I will miss her and Shaw's humping in the ring the most.

Heard the latest was Spike was the front runner but no matter what TNA was taking a big cut because even if they got the same deal as before (not happening) that company they hired to get them a deal is entitled to a percentage of the deal. To recap, they've been linked to WGN, Velocity, Spike and FX. Also, Nov. 19 is the last date they have first run material taped for. They are preempted Thanksgiving week and every show after that (the month of Dec. really) is Best Ofs. So likely Best of X, Best of World Title level, Best of Tags and then Year in Review. Finally, Dixie is pushing to get a second show. But FX already has a show called "American Horror Story." They don't need TNA too!

TNA should do "Best of Gunner", new boom period. I don't know that people going all Elvis Presley on a TV would count as a new boom period, no matter the caliber they use.

Also pretty safe to assume that they will be taken a highly reduced payment for their show (or shows if the rumors are to be believed). That along with UTA getting their cut, means that we're going to be getting an even more slimmed down show in terms of recognizable talent then we get now. I wouldn't call it this now, but if the above happens will TNA even be recognizable?

Be serious. There were a ton of classic matches in TNA and they could always pride themselves in quality workrate. To be fair, Lewie was in the middle of shitting his trunks, it's hard to throw a good elbow while that's going on. Trust me.

Ok I'm past the grieving stage, I want to pull the f***ing plug, can't this company just die already? It isn't even funny anymore.

TNA really would be completely unrecognizable if it became wrestling-related.

I was just looking at random title histories on Cagematch and was on the TNA Tag Team history and realized something. Having no idea where to post this I'll just throw it here.
Final Episode of IMPACT match
Hernandez, Homicide, Chavo Jr, Anarquia, and Matt Morgan vs James Storm, Abyss, Robert Roode, Gunner, and Chris Harris.
For the record in case you don't catch it initially, Hernandez won the titles with all of his team at least once, as did James Storm with his team. Funny stat imo.

Sadly, the budget would be so small, they couldn't afford tables, so Dixie would insist on being put through a window. Further proof that, through all of her experiences with TNA and how Impact was handled/presented, she will not have learned a damn thing.

What really worries me about TNA is that even if they do get another network to pick them up, they'll likely lose a good chunk of their audience.
They lost people when they switched the day of the week or moved it an hour and it took them a while to recover from that.
Imagine moving the day/time/network? I can't imagine it'll end up well for them. Especially if the network they move to is even more obscure and hard to get than Spike TV.
At this point its more important they stay on Spike than they keep Angle or the Hardy Boys.
