Toronto, Canada (November 3, 2016) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. and Impact Ventures, parent company of TNA Impact Wrestling, today announced that Anthem has provided a credit facility to TNA to fund operations.

Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. is a global sports media company that operates Fight Network, Impact Wrestling’s exclusive broadcaster in Canada, as well as the exclusive worldwide digital streaming partner for all TNA programming. It is also an equity stakeholder of Impact Ventures.

The agreement includes the appointment of Anthem Executive Vice President Ed Nordholm to the Impact Ventures Board of Managers. The company will be managed by the Board with Mr. Nordholm representing the Board on all major operating and restructuring decisions. Dixie Carter will continue as Chair of the Company, as well as her position on the Board of Managers. Billy Corgan is no longer with the company.

“We have had a successful, long-term partnership with Fight Network as our Canadian broadcaster, and more recently as our global digital partner,” said Dixie Carter. “Anthem’s team has extensive media experience, and I am excited to have that available to us as we plan for the future.”

“We have consistently maintained that investing in content as we grow our distribution is important as a strategic necessity, and working more closely with a strong brand like TNA is in line with that. This financing is an extension of the support we have been providing since the beginning of the year,” said Leonard Asper, CEO of Anthem. “There are tremendous opportunities to support the company’s growth on all platforms and in all media along side Dixie and the incredible talent and staff at TNA.”

We now go live to Anthem's office right now

Dixie is either the brightest most stupid woman in the planet or the luckiest

It would have been more prudent to take all that money, go to a casino and wager it all on Red or Black. At least that way there was almost a 50% chance of them seeing 1 cent of that money ever again.

This whole thing has taught me that Anthem is run by very stupid supervillains.

Are we that surprised Anthem is evil?

There's a Good Charlotte song written about them!

Who the hell would seriously give these complete idiots more money. I really don't get it.

I believe that song was also about TNA... as they are announcing "another loser, Anthem."

I do really wonder if Anthem is just ridiculously unaware or what. At what juncture did, "Let's invest in this company by helping it screw over this guy who invested in it!" seem like a good plan?

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

There really is no other way to put it. This company is run by assholes.

This has got to be the 1st time in pro wrestling that someone did a press release about securing a payday loan. TNA, being the shady and incompetent company they are, did not bother paying off Corgan to get rid of him and now will occur a big wrath of him because they and Anthem tried to write him out without through shady methods. Once again, someone honestly explain why this "promotion" is good for the wrestling industry? There are Mexican drug cartels with more morals.

So what happens now? Is WWE definitely out of the picture for good now? I thought Dixie was flirting with selling the library to WWE when Corgan was gone, which he is...

I just don't get it.

WWE wanted both her and Corgan out of the wrestling biz as part of buying TNA. Anthem is willing to keep the charmed idiot, Dixie, in the same spot as before and still give money to TNA to remain open. So she is going to work with her newest suckers/partners. Her ego won't let her walk away or do what is right for people.
