I really hope this turns out to be Double J working Dixie Carter by getting her to agree to sign away all of her remaining talent to him in the guise of a big storyline, and then just disappearing with them all into the night leaving her with nothing but an empty ring, no network, and Bob Ryder. And Abyss. She'll always have Abyss. Even when TNA folds and she goes back to the ranch, Abyss will be runn....meandering freely across their prairie. They say if you listen carefully on a half moon night you can hear him fall into thumbtacks.

The Briscoes, Mike Bennett, Adam Cole, ACH, etc invading TNA would be an invasion, not guys like James Storm and Magnus who haven't been gone for very long. That's the biggest problem with this entire scenario, in that the guys supposedly lining up with Jarrett to invade are, to the casual/regular fan, already still part of TNA. Sure, Storm said something on Twitter, but have they actually done anything on the shows that display the idea these guys are gone? And with the way TNA - even before their current woes - could have regular workers drop off for weeks and months at a time then show back up out of nowhere with no real explanation, no ones going to notice anyone missing for a while until they show back up.

The WCW/ECW Invasion featuring Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Rhyno, The Dudleys, Christian, Raven, Ivory, etc. sure is repeating itself fast.

At least there Rhyno, Spike, and Raven hadn't been around all that long and Bubba Ray and Devon had plenty of history in ECW. GFW has no history - what the hell would people even be fighting for? Why would they be trying to bring down TNA? What's in it for them? Why do they like GFW more than TNA? With how many times TNA's been conquered from the inside, why would they now think they needed to leave to do it?

I have a feeling the implied motive is also going to be the same as it was for GFW as it was for the Alliance. One promotion has TV and the other doesn't, so they'll fight each other on TNA's turf until one of them wins. The only difference is that this time, the invaders will probably take all. (also, Spike wasn't on the Alliance's side)

I suppose it's proper, in a way, that TNA fade away due to a large, possibly heel stable taking over.

I don't know if they know this or not, but in order to have an invasion, the people doing the invading need to be outsiders. The Briscoes, Mike Bennett, Adam Cole, ACH, etc invading TNA would be an invasion, not guys like James Storm and Magnus who haven't been gone for very long. It would certianly be better than what we're (rumored) to be getting, but I'm not even sure *that* would really be overly successful

I can see his invasion being similar to 2001 one, and a bit of the Aces and 8s(first months). Watch the leader of the Invasion being EC3 and turns on TNA ala Stone Cold.

Seriously, if they used that for GFW's motive, I'd buy it like it was on sale.

GFW is getting name talent, that like Jeff to fill out their cards (and Roode is going to Vegas which is a TV taping so there is something big going down I'd wager), while TNA is getting talent work so they don't all quit and hope for an NXT tryout.

What reason do they have to invade? To get the coveted TNA time slot they are rumored to lose.
