They've turned their woes into a storyline?
Now I really, really hope both companies go under. Seriously. I am so tired of this buffoonery.

I didn't think anything could be more annoying than Kurt Angle on top in 2015 but JEFF JARRETT getting another f***ing mega-push? Nah, I'm straight brah. In the TNA Universe Jeff Jarrett is more powerful than Brock Lesnar

Well I hate invasions but it makes sort of sense in the context. -Jarrett needs the help to start his project. -TNA are in trouble of being cancelled. -JJ is seen by DA to be more sane than Dixie to deal with. -So they make an alliance.
From an invasion standpoint, JJ just wants to takeover to want his company back. Sort like what he supposed to do if he joined Aces & 8s.

Except the person who technically represents the company, Dixie Carter, is the one who has sanctioned this idiocy. He gets a title to start his company with and a HOF induction, if he turns on her, the cycle will be complete. I think Dixie has come to terms that whenever she's used on TV, she's going to look like a complete dunce, and she's going along with it in her desperation.

Maybe it will be like The Flood and GFW will start killing TNA wrestlers.

I don't watch TNA, this section is how I keep up with it. So I need a little help understanding this. Wrestlers from TNA are "quitting" to go to GFW? And this is so they can invade and takeover TNA, the company they were originally in? I don't understand how that works. Like, why leave anyway? You're already there. You can takeover the company from the inside, it's been done before. It's like working for a 99¢ Store and planning to rob it, but first you quit, get hired by the dollar store across the food court, and then come back and rob the 99¢ store in your new uniform.
I don't even... It doesn't... Yeah.

So a company with no roster, no identity, no history, and no TV deal invades a company that has no budget to speak of and is losing its TV deal in September. The point? Presumably to satisfy their big heel faction fetish and give Jarrett a bunch of titles in the process. The cool heels will win and the faces will be dunces.

Seriously, at least Angle used to be a legitimate main event talent... Jarrett on his best day has never been anything more than a solid upper mid carder

Dixie: "And all you unpaid workers? IT WAS A SWEVRE SUGA!"
Wrestler: "Ok so when do i get paid?"
Dixie: "Hmm no no I can't do that, it would ruin the whole angle dear but um..I know you can have a big feud with Abyss"

Oh no, a bunch of guys who have worked for TNA for years, and probably a bunch of guys who worked for TNA in the past, including the founder of the company, no less, are coming to beat the dead hors-I mean, destroy TNA!

Jeff Jarrett might as well grab a Global Force flag, march to the nearest garbage dump and plant his flag on the biggest pile of junk.

Yea, you def wouldn't be doing that "we have released "X" wrestler from his/her contract if they had shareholders to answer to. Isn't this the sort of thing the network is supposed to intervene on? I mean, if they can force TNA to keep the title on a worn out, broken man barely held together with duct tape and gorilla testosterone, isn't the company giving all appearances of bleeding out cause for intervention?

Destination America probably doesn't care about TNA one way or the other, especially if they're not happy with the ratings. I imagine they only cared about Kurt Angle being champion because they liked his character.

Ok, this all only works if the eventual outcome is that Jarrett takes over and TNA is rebranded as GFW, thus allowing them to keep a timeslot, keep a bunch of the talent on TV, and provide some level of stability by taking Dixie out of the picture.
Yet now we're hearing that DA representatives are not in the loop on everything, that the rep at the last taping had no clue at all about Jarrett showing up (especially showing up in a GFW shirt). If DA is out of the loop, and TNA is screwed come September, anyway...then what's the point?

You would think so.Looking at it from an outside perspective, it would seem DA has had their fill with them and just letting them do what they want. I guess there is a reason why people don't want to deal with TNA and advertise with them because this is carny in itself. WWE does fired angles but they know their limits. I would assume some of these are officially gone and the rest will come for a pay per appearance.

If DA is out of the loop, and TNA is screwed come September, anyway...then what's the point? This is taking wrestling full on back to it's carny roots. If true that DA didn't know i'm pretty sure if they weren't pulling the plug than they are ready to now. You have the co-founder show up and then he's advertising his own brand. This reeks of desperation and I swear I don't want to sit through Planet Jarret again.
