I'd rather TNA just die completely than end up in WWE's hands. The company itself will die. Only the video tape library will be purchased. I don't want to see that happen either. Anyone but you WWE. Anyone...but you.

Does anyone know exactly when DA can cut TNA in September? Early or later in the month? I'm hoping its September 30. What better birthday present than to see this dumpster fire of a company finally sink and be here to riff on it in what is sure to be a legendary thread?

Because who wants what actual good TNA did to ever see the light of day again. f*** anyone that ever worked there and getting them some exposure, salt the earth and act like it never happened.

But I guarantee that WWE could do a better job marketing TNA's good matches on the network or home release better than TNA itself ever could.

I was under the impression that no one believed TNA ever did anything good. Anyone that worked there will hopefully find work elsewhere. And you and I both know that everyone will spend more time riffing and MST-ing the bad stuff than actually acknowledging the good. The "actual good TNA did" will be forgotten anyway while people only watch the shitty stuff for laughs while high fiving each other and making jokes about how the wrestlers were "paid with an empty McDonalds apple pie box".

Just like WCW... everyone loves talking about Vince Russo and WCW 2000 and no one mentions the NWO... or Sting.... or Ric Flair... or any other number of classic matches. Furthermore, why does it matter to you what people do with content they want to watch? Also you know maybe they wouldn't make fun of TNA not paying people if they actually paid their damn workers.

I think TNA will probably tape through the end of the year at the next batch of tapings, most of these episodes will proceed to go completely unseen in the US and probably a number of them not even internationally. Most of the roster will leave following that, they'll try one more set of tapings in January, then that'll be the end of that and they'll spend about a year insisting news on more shows will come very soon and something big is in the works, then TNA will finally take its rightful place on one of WWE's shelves.

Thing is, I can buy the "new business model" thing, but the talent involved is going to be pretty damn bare bones. Can't begin to guess how long they could last like that.

A Wrestling company with known shitty business practices, and have openly thrown temper tantrums on social media (oh and insulting their network too), that has been thrown off 2 channels in a year, all while it's audience withers away... They should have no problems getting back on tv! Hey, if they believe this, I got some oceanfront property in New Mexico they should be interested in. WWE will own TNA by Christmas. I'd rather TNA just die completely than end up in WWE's hands. But how else will we finally get that Stupor and Stagnation of TNA DVD?

LMAO. "Everything's fine because we are cutting a ton of people." Well, that kinda sounds like the exact opposite of being fine. It's beautiful corporate doublespeak, is what it is.

On the wwe DVD burial Heyman is gonna make fun of Dixie, saying that at least he lied to the talent and gave them bounced checks to make them happy, whereas Dixie wasn't even smart enough to lie.

Meh, people can shit on WWE all they want, and there's a lot to shit on, but....at least the checks arrive on time. TNA deserves what it's gonna get.

Its gonna be on Jarretts hands, why would Vince pick it up? Its not worth it.

TNA has hours upon hours of material they could dump on the Network and probably pick up some subscribers with, regardless of the actual quality putting "Kurt Angle vs. Sting!" on a match listing for a DVD is going to sell, TNA's video library is probably of a higher picture quality and better run and organized than any of the companies WWE's already bought them from, and it's been said for years that WWE has someone whose job it is to watch TNA and document what goes on in every segment.

Poor bastard lol. Also how did Vince reacted after that intern told him about the reverse battle royal and the red bird cage?

Wait, WWE has a designated "TNA Watcher" position? Wonder what the suicide rate is in that job field.
