Yeah, I just want to see TNA on the WWE Network, and maybe some key contracts to be absorbed.. I don't think anyone else has a use for the rest of the company, especially GFW. As someone said, they should be avoiding any association with the toxic TNA brand.

Any company except WWE. I don't want to watch TNA on the WWE Network and I don't feel like watching Vince or Triple H do their Petty "TNA ruins everything" BS.
I don't really care what happens to the footage. I just want TNA's championships to be unified with another promotion's titles. It's something I feel should be done anytime a wrestling promotion closes up shop.

What's with everyone already nut-riding GFW? I mean, I'll check it out and see what's up too, but at this point for all we know it might even be worse than TNA.
And to answer the op, I think ROH would be more poetic, but WWE would probably do more with the content and do an awesome documentary tearing the company apart.

ROH because that would be hilarious. Considering that Ring Of Honor is actually 3 months older than TNA, it would be funny!

Here's the thing, for all of TNA's many many many... many faults (should I add another "many"?), there are things they've done right over the years that they have something of a legacy for. For a long time the X-Division gave us some of the best high-flying action in the US, at times their Knockouts Division gave us some of the best womens action in the US, and they gave exposure to a lot of rising stars when they were still new. Yes all that stuff usually went to crap pretty quick, but I would trust guys like Jarrett and Cornette to highlight those accomplishments (and of course play down their inevitable epic failures) and build off of them. Basically GFW would try to portray themselves as a TNA that's actually reached its potential. If they had to put together a "Best of TNA" list I fully believe the Unbreakable Three-Way Match would be higher on the list then "#It Happens". What would the WWE do with TNA? A tape library so they'd have a few more Blu-Ray extras and maybe a set that buries TNA in an epic fashion. I can't even fathom what ROH would do with the company if they bought them out. It's not an ideal choice but it's better then thirteen years being all for nothing.

Maybe a fed from Japan? Nigeria? UK?
I wonder how the lawsuits would work if that happens...

Yeah I for one am sick of the WWE insulting the awa ecw wccw and all the other dead companies they have the rights to. Cause that's a thing that happens. Also TNA does ruin everything. That's pretty much the one constant theme the company has.

It's not an ideal choice but it's better then thirteen years being all for nothing. I'm not disagreeing with any of that. In fact, I hope that GFW actually does become what TNA always should have been. I'm just trying to point out the fact that until it actually puts out a couple months of shows, we don't really know. So saying that GFW should buy it is ridiculous, at least at this point, because right now for all we know it might be just like TNA or worse.

They f*** up EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. Every single thing that could have some kind of importance or prestige, they killed. If WWE buries TNA, they are just doing what the general wrestling populace has been doing for roughly 13 years. Their entire legacy is being the biggest waste this business has ever seen. Yes, even more so than WCW because that at least made a lot of money at one point.

Anyone but wwe. We don't need another reason for trips and vince to tell us how great they are, and how everybody else sucks. I second this. And I hope TNA goes to Global Force Wrestling.

What exactly would they be buying? The video library and the trademarks? Would they want to continue running TNA as a separate company? I just don't think it would be a smart option for ROH to buy them. I could see WWE buying the library at some point, just so they have even more footage of people of some of the big stars from TNA who were also WWE wrestlers.

When have they done that outside of WCW? That was Platypus Mod's point. Because, they seem to do a pretty great job respecting the legacy ECW left behind with all the DVD's and shit they've done over the years.

Personally, I'm hoping for the WWE to buy them out. The get their complete tape library, including some good roster options.
- NXT gets Eric Young, Low Ki, the Dollhouse and HAVOK - Awesome Kong and Mickie James go to the main roster to improve the divas - EC3, Bobby Roode and MVP go to the main roster - Kurt Angle and Mike Tenay both get to retire and get spots in the WWE Hall of Fame after a couple years - Robbie E (teaming with Ryder) and the Wolves help to beef up the tag team division - Abyss feuds with Kane - Don West replaces JBL on commentary
- The rest get thrown to the wind
Edit: Shark Boy would also get a run on NXT then be brought to the main roster as the comedy relief who can actually put on a good match. An angle with Sandow would be hilarious, in my opinion.

There's no reason for WWE to pat themselves on the back over TNA, they were never in the same game. I would be very surprised if WWE managed to put out a mock piece on TNA that is in any way hyperbolic.

I would be very surprised if WWE managed to put out a mock piece on TNA that is in any way hyperbolic. I don't want a mock piece on TNA at all, hyperbolic or otherwise. It doesn't matter how bad TNA was. It's that WWE would likely constantly remind everyone how bad TNA was at the detriment of their own product. Everyone says that "the shambling corpse" of TNA deserves a "mercy killing". WWE purchasing TNA would not be that. That would be the equivalent of taking the corpse, putting a dress on it and drawing penises on its face. I don't want to watch TNA on the WWE Network. I don't want a "The Rise and Fall of TNA" DVD/Blu-Ray, none of that. I just want it to be purchased by a promotion who would properly lay it to rest.

I would rather have RoH, GFW, and whatever other dream promotion that isn't WWE spend the money on paying good talent well, paying for promotion, upgrading production, expanding touring. You know the shit that TNA couldn't/wouldn't do, then have them waste budget space on trying to recreate dead promotions past their prime, the one thing TNA always turned to when they started turning a corner to put themselves back in the dumpster.
Yes WWE is the big evil, but it's also the only company that can afford to waste money on vanity pickups. If any small company wasted money on TNA it would be like that one friend everyone has who brags about the cool vintage toy they bought and bitches about not being able to afford rent.

WWE - best distribution channels of anyone in the world regarding wrestling.
GFW needs to stay as far as possible from TNA, they do not need that stink on them.

The wwf had a good relationship with ECW and worked them often exchanging talent. Not exactly the same interactions they had with TNA. Plus the fact that TNA was a company that rose up and tried to compete with wwe pretty much gives trips and vince an excuse to say "this is what happens when you try to create wrestling outside of us". Tna deserves all the flack they get, but most likely wwe will make this entirely about themselves. Probably on a much smaller scale than what they did to wcw, but it will continue even further the company's already established attitude that no one should dare rise up or even that wrestling exists outside of them.
