Well I guess I was wrong about being dead by the end of the year but the start of next year. basically they are in the morgue being prepared to be put 6 feet under. I guess they will tape these house shows and what a train wreck they are going to be.

I actually won't be surprised if they did get another network deal. Just with somewhere even smaller and less important.
All those jokes over the past year along the lines of "Coming to you LIVE from the Hardy's backyard, on KXGN-TV!" were very much rooted in truth. If Dixie has any chance, at all, to cling to her little piece of driftwood she is very much more than willing to accept diminishing return after diminishing return.

Aaaahhahahahahahahaahahaha! "We think pro wrestling caters to low income viewers, so please don't put our ads on during those shows. But please keep them on ALL the shows where rednecks hunt imaginary monsters." The rednecks being TNA's roster. The imaginary monster is as always their paycheck

*Spike TV cancels Impact*
Dixie: "It's just a little dirty. It's still good, it's still good!"
*Destination America cancels Impact*
Dixie: "It's just a little slimy. It's still good, it's still good!"

The bright spot? At least 3 more months of the lamest wrestling show on the planet!
Can you just imagine how more lame it can get with Kurt and possibly Jeff leaving? I'm so looking forward to a run in from the BBQ pit masters.

I always thought the name TNA drove advertisers away. I never understood why they dropped the idea to re band the company as Impact Wrestling.

You'll know when it is the end. Dixie will rehire Daniels then release him outta nowhere. She always does this when she is over stressed

I'm so looking forward to a run in from the BBQ pit masters. BBQ Brisket on a Pole Match between Tommy Dreamer and Matt Hardy I picture this being done in slow motion on a soundstage made up to look like Tokyo. Add in "roars" and energy blasts and it'd be perfect.

Ok how can Dixie still not admit defeat at this point? It's over sweetheart have some dignity. DA won't resign you in January. They just released a memo where they pretty much said that tna is advertisement poison. This is it. No other country, except Japan and Puerto Rico, is gonna support a wrestling company. Ring Ka King did big ratings but they never got a second season. Pro wrestling is advertisement poison for reasons that have nothing to do with any one promotion. Oh absolutely, the mainstream media hates wrestling, Sean Waltman admitted that wrestling is the redheaded stepchild of entertainment. I was just saying that Dixie is delusional to think that DA is gonna renew them in 2016 after that memo.

Ring Ka King did big ratings but they never got a second season. Because Ditzy is a delusional f***wit who thinks her becoming the next reality TV star is just around the corner. If she had any dignity, she would have walked away after Spike told them to go away. TNA's creditors will eat TNA alive by April 2016. Without TV, there is no reason for TNA's debt holders to keep giving loans to Ditzy's "Cash-flow Positive" company. I don't think TNA has creditors; all the operating money they need is coming straight from Panda. With the track record the company has and its utter inability to turn profits, if they were taking out loans, they would have lost those when ratings on Spike started to sink. If you think we have been grim about the future of TNA then imagine how someone who has the prospect of investment their own fortune into the company would be about the whole thing. That said, they will owe a shitton of money by the time this is all done, but I imagine it'll be mostly to cast, crew, and any equipment they have bought on some kind of payment plan/rental contract deal.

Panda turned the spigot off long ago and well before Dixie called the company "Cashflow Positive". She's almost certainly has been getting loans from outside the family, probably trading heavily on her dad's business and their TV deal. According to Heyman, TNA was already somewhere around $70 to $90 million in the red and bleeding at a rate of $7 to $8 million a month back in 2010 and before Hogan.

Deja Vu.
This time next year, TNA will be cancelled by the POP Network and claim they have decided that the only way for TNA to grow is going on METV between Mayberry RFD and The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Sunday nights.
