This just reminds me of the thread in the TNA section about how TNA has no history becoming even more literally true when this goes through.
edit: also I too originally opened this thread to post "LOUD NOISES!"

How TNA would it be if they couldn't even access their own video library since they couldn't afford to license it from WWE? Then again, might wait for more sources on this one. TNA might have to use hand puppets. Can TNA afford hand puppets? I DON'T KNOW!!!!

I wonder if they would cut a deal to eventually air it on the Network, I've been wondering if WWE would eventually branch out and add other promotions but I don't think Vince likes the idea of anything he cant take credit for, and they would probably have to run things creatively by him before doing so. So it sounds a bit of an awkward one.

You know how we rag on WWE for their revisionist treatment of WCW? It's gonna be kinda weird when they pull a 180 and make TNA, by virtue of promoting it and those that came through it, seem 10 times the deal than it ever was.

WWE: "We're sending you a cease and desist order for that match footage you replayed." TNA: "We just had that match two weeks ago!" WWE: "You mean you had OUR match two weeks ago." TNA: "Aw man..."

If this true: "We at World Wrestling Entertainment would like to state that views of Scott Steiner are the views of him and him alone. Also we like to apologize for the following Vince Russo led insanity. Thank You."

I can't friggen wait to watch the first episode over and over on the Network in high quality. I've been wanting to make some higher quality GIFs for Cheex and the garbage-can-masturbating-midget for a long time. I read that as you wanted to make some high quality Cheex gifs for masturbating. I need to stop skimreading.

I listened to this, JR just said he's aware of the rumors going around.

This shows WWE is making a huge investment in AJ Styles, as the main advantage they would have in old TNA footage is old AJ matches. Stuff for others too, bit I am sure they mainly want the AJ stuff. I feel like him and WWE turned out to be an unexpected match made in heaven, he will probably work there forever, and they want the footage of his career.

Maybe that loosens things up for Corgan to take it over. WWE gets the tape library, Corgan has already said he plans on changing the name and doing pretty much a full reset of the company. Losing the tape library makes the rebrand a lot cleaner, and makes things easier on his pocket.

I have a hard time believing WWE would buy the tape library for TNA while the promotion's still going. TNA is competition for WWE in any respect, but you don't hand out free promotion for another company with nothing in return.

I bet one of the conditions for buying the library is that Dixie becomes on an screen character on Total Bellas, and WWE is trying to negotiate around that.

I don't trust JR to know shit about wrestling that is new and even then I'm unsure he pays enough attention to have it right.
