The sad thing they have been around longer then WCW. At least WCW had two good years before going downhill

The bad news is that I just watched ROH's Best in The World, and the promos look better than anything TNA has put in the last five years.

Also if not for Panda TNA would have died off in 03/04 So don't put too much faith into Jeff here You say that like it's a good thing. I personally feel TNA's refusal to die made it impossibly hard for another company to break into the number 2 spot. Even if TNA died a few years ago, it doesn't mean another company will magically end up on a channel like Spike TV getting 1.5 or so million viewers. Just like how no company filled the void left by WCW. Promotions dying only convinces tv networks that only WWE knows what they're doing.

TNA figured out that it can afford to give the roster a subscription to the WWE Network.
not for each guy, just one that they have to share

Are we going to find out that TNA was just the imagination of an autistic kid playing with a snow globe?

What if it's something anticlimactic like Josh Mathew's fashion podcast has been cancelled or something?

If it is really GFW taking over TNA it would be a good start as they have needed a name change since day one.
With that said, if true, they need to totally disassociate themselves from anything TNA. No X-division, no Impact, No Impact Zone, no six sided ring. Nothing that even closely resembles TNA as if they even remotely resemble TNA it is doomed as the stain of TNA is that negative.

Apparently many talents are afraid the tapings next month are going to be the last. Many when told about it had to hastily cancel bookings with other promotions they were planning on doing that week before it was announced and it could be over a month before they get paid for doing the tapings in July.

They resigned Bram to another long term contract. If it is really GFW taking over TNA it would be a good start as they have needed a name change since day one. With that said, if true, they need to totally disassociate themselves from anything TNA. No X-division, no Impact, No Impact Zone, no six sided ring. Nothing that even closely resembles TNA as if they even remotely resemble TNA it is doomed as the stain of TNA is that negative. Well then there already screwed because GFW already using the Six Sided Ring. Not a big deal really neither is an X-Divison when done right see TNA earlier days. Really outside of Dixie no longer in charge what left in TNA worth a damn to merge with that. Your better off being your own thing and not be linked to TNA at this point.

Jarret wasn't entirely responsible for the initial financial troubles; he was getting lied to by the company he hired to handle PPV shit and being told buyrates were like four times what they actually were, and then shortly thereafter one of their main investors got investigated for fraud and lost a shitton of money. If he can learn from those mistakes, it's hardly spelling doom. Dude's not Heyman or anything.

But TNA would be merging with nothing... Nothing plus nothing makes nothing. For a merger to happen, you gotta have SOMETHING. Official Theme song of GWFTNA

I wonder, if it is the Merger... does that mean Panda dropped the Dixie must remain condition, or Jeff Jarrett is going to keep Dixie. WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND KEEP DIXIE AROUND? SHE IS LITERALLY DRIVING A SHIP INTO AN ICEBERG, BACKING IT UP, AND THEN CRASHING INTO THE SAME ICEBERG OVER AND OVER AGAIN. She is "literally" doing that, huh?
