"Overseas Television Money" - the only international deals that I know of are the one for Africa (through 2019) and presumably whatever deal they have with Challenge in the UK, unless I missed something. We know they lost Australia, probably have a deal in India (hence Khoya), but outside of that...what else do they have?

Anyways, yeah, they're completely f***ed. This is about the stage like when the Titanic was sinking, but forcing the ship upwards.

It just feels like like delusion, and more just denial. Everyone else is telling them of their eventual end, and in their eyes "it's all going to be just fine". NOTHING IS OVER!! YOU JUST DON'T TURN IT OFF!!!

Following TNA over the years feels a lot like this clip:
Someday the plot armor will wear off and our favorite little promotion-that-couldn't will put on it's red shirt and meet it's fate.

What is it about these corporate types that they can never bring themselves to admit when they *foul* up?

They where too ahead of their time, the unwashed masses didn't understand their heightened concepts, signed talents didn't live up to expectations,the damn lazy millennials ruin everything or the planets alignment was against them.

I'm sure everyone who's left still buys that the company will be fine when they've been barely afloat as it is with DA's money and haven't been "able" to play people on time.
I'm not being sarcastic here, everyone who hasn't jumped ship or is waiting for their contract to expire probably has severe Stockholm Syndromeby this point.

LMAO. "Everything's fine because we are cutting a ton of people." Well, that kinda sounds like the exact opposite of being fine. Not just that, they basically said, "we cut the people fans want to see because they cost too much". They shit on everyone still there to put over what smart business people they are.

The company has been a walking zombie ever since they started the bulk TV tapings near the end on Spike.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, TNA has privately informed some of the talent that the Destination America deal will be ending. The report notes that it is a read between the lines” situation, where talent has been informed that, “overseas television money will keep the company afloat while they shop around for a new U.S. television deal”. They have also told talent that the company will be fine because they have cut most of the big contracts and higher paid wrestlers, due to their business model changing. 411mania.com/wrestling/is-tna-telling-talent-that-they-are-done-on-destination-america/To quote the Nostalgia Critic: "Wow, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Plain and simple."

TNA is so pathetic that PWG is gonna end up buying it. And on the simultaneous telecast, Super Dragon is just gonna flip her off.

If I had to guess early September. As the 7th is the 6 month mark.
