DA went after TNA expecting TNA to do what for them what WWE does for USA, raise them up in the overalls and allow them to sell ads on their better received shows at a higher price. TNA showed they could bring in 500k (hitting just short of that twice in the last 3 months) but have stayed no where close to that. TNA HAS FAILED TO DO AS THEY PROMISED DISCOVERY. DA gave them time, DA gave them money, DISCOVERY advertised them across every station they owned (and they own the most out of any company in the World) and more while Dixie derped an email calling the head of the network a moron and sent it to him, Dixie failed to inform her talent company that they should get an exclusive deal which allowed ROH to get on the Network then didn't bother to inform anyone in the company and Dixie then invested heavily in a returning talent without checking his contractual status and lost hours worth of content and another talent as well.
DA is a business that had a business partner prove itself to be one of the most poorly run, ass backward, pieces of shit in this history of televised wrestling. That DA has been kind enough to not drop TNA with just cause is more than enough proof they have far more heart and compassion than Dixie Carter deserves at this point.

Even when TNA was going relatively high ratings for them, and if they still are, it doesn't change the problem that they are difficult to secure advertisers for, making them less lucrative than they would be otherwise. WWE has a similar problem to a much lesser extent, probably in part due to shit like former PTC harassment, but they are also many times more popular than TNA so they can get by with that.

I have some bad news and good news.
The bad news is that TNA may get cancelled for the second time in a year. The good news is that I just played Metal Gear Solid 5 and it is awesome, man that horse and puppy are f***ing awesome.

So, is it true that those Genesis matches in the spoilers were fake and TNA was trolling everyone?

It hasn't been confirmed, but Dick, er I mean Bob Ryder and Rockstar Spud were implying that they were just trolling the fans. Regardless, I don't get why TNA wasted money and a night of tapings just to work the internet.

For a company that is bleeding money, this is a gigantic waste of time and money maybe by any wrestling company ever.

My understanding is that they taped the matches for a One Night Only event, but will be presenting them in a more boring context. I hope we still get to see the Reverse Elimination Match though.

I have a feeling this Winner Take All TNA vs. GFW angle will be the way to kill off TNA and bring everything back to Jarrett under the GFW banner. Whether GFW gets their timeslot is up in the air, but I'm hoping they get a chance.

Yeah Gaburick and Jarrett couldn't agree on the angle so it finished quickly

And on top of all that, TNA gave them a script for a show for them to approve of, then went ahead and put on a segment with Jarrett advertising GFW without informing them of it entirely to catch people by surprise on a show that was being pretaped anyway. TNA's really given them no reason at all not to cancel them the first chance they get.

Lol FN Gunner went to PWS and buried TNA, he said he was happy to be in a place where there were no politics and his checks didn't bounce.
I'm not surprised that they're probably gonna die in October, I'm just surprised they lasted this long.
Edit: I f***ed up, he didn't say that the checks bounced just that they arrived late.
Here's the promo: "I don't have to worry about paychecks being late, I don't have to worry about any of that politic crap, I'm here to make an impact. No pun intended"
