If they can't get the Impact Zone back....yes.
If they get cancelled by Spike.....definitely yes.

I think for TNA to really work out it will need a new owner who also perhaps owns a network or two. A modern day Ted Turner really. Mark Cuban would be ideal. I just don't think someone like Cuban wants to stay in for the long road.

Sadly, it might be. Thanks a lot Hogan. I shook Dixie Carter's hand in early 2010 when they had their first show in London and told her Hogan would ruin her company. A year later I again shook her hand and told her I was right.

If they've got no regular venue to shoot their television, then yes. If they can secure a building at a reasonable price -- and most importantly, WWE or another company doesn't want to head to Spike TV, then they'll survive. I'm getting Jeff Jarrett WCW 2000 vibes from Magnus, though. Too little, too late...

I just don't think someone like Cuban wants to stay in for the long road. Reading this i just imagined TNA being filmed before a live studio audience. If they did that maybe they could finally get the reactions they want.

Now that I read the thread about them not having use of Universal Studios, I think they're done this year. Their current model is unsustainable. They can't make any money, other than TV rights fees. They can't find a cheap enough venue to put on their TV show. Their roster is depleted to the point where filling 2 hours is tough to do. All their best talent is being phased out.

It does seem that way. The Jeff Hardy deal was a UK tour since he can't work it. So they gave us a reason why he won't be there.

If Spike drop them then not only do TNA lose a huge revenue stream in the loss of TV right fees, they also lose a big chunk of Sting (and maybe Angles) wages that Spike are apparently paying.

A year later I again shook her hand and told her I was right. I shook her hand in the first (and only) show they did in Cardiff and told her Vince Mcmahon would never be walking round the crowd during a house show. (I meant it as a compliment but looking back it kind of sounds like an insult)

Hogschoff left them in critical condition but it doesn't feel over yet. If they need to cut all their "star" talent then do it, find a new hub and then take the money saved and put it into time machine development so they can go back to 2009 and stop the assassination.

They'll continue to limp along as long as they have Spike.

If the Smackdown thing happens...then TNA is done.
Other than that, no TNA is fine. They haven't lost anyone that was important or that would lower their ratings. As I have said in other threads, this is just the rebuild.

Your probably correct about the Hardy deal, but why take him off of TV before the UK tour actually starts. It seems that advertising him for Genesis in a couple of weeks would be a good idea.

If that happens, the WWE would probably insist that TNA gets the boot.

is there anything solid on that, or just wild speculation?

You think so but it's TNA. Advertising isn't there strong suite.
