Four months to find a new home, Dixie.
I doubt it'll happen but the clock is a-ticking.

Soooooooo, what happens to this board? Just a guess, but I think we might lock new posts & archive the board in its entirety. ... ...or sell it to Panda Energy. The end of an era. |

When you're cancelled by the Bigfoot network, there's an issue.
They were never a good fit for DA, just look at the rest of their programming and you could see why they didn't fit in. They were also likely conned by Dixie into thinking TNA offered them more than they have.
This is just embarrassing all around.

Dixie,
I hope bringing Russo back was worth it, you frigging idiot.

The last scene will be Bobby Roode, Eric Young, Magnus, and Abyss doing this

At this point, TNA is too damaged to be picked up by another network willing to give them money. They can probably pay a network for air time, but that's not a business model that can last long.
I don't see how TNA survives this.

TNA is out of business rumor part 2,000,000. This time it is for real.

This is so sad and pathetic. I was never a person who thought TNA was on the verge of death, but after this, not even lasting half a year on their new network I think its game over. Even if they can find a new network it may be time to shut up shop due to embarrassment. Let the wrestlers go anywhere else.

Even if they can find a new network it may be time to shut up shop due to embarrassment. Let the wrestlers go anywhere else. It's especially astounding because they got offers for better, higher-paying networks than DA, but Dixie stupidly thought it was the best for them because of all the extra shows they gave them then immediately cancelled. She's getting what she deserves. |

In the longrun, TNA and Dixie did this to themselves. They put themselves in a position to rely on Destination America to survive with bad business decisions going back years and years. They got every holy grail they wanted and couldn't make it work. I don't have any sympathy for the company. The wrestlers, of course. It's not their fault management failed them.

Sad, I got into TNA in 2006 when I went to college and had them on my tv. I rarely missed an episode and had faith that they could bring things around and a true alternative and freshen up and revitalize the landscape in wrestling. But as the years went on and they opted instead to make more blunders and foolish actions I began to lose hope. From hiring Ex WWE guys who were only there for a paycheck and vacation, to turning their once touted divisions that received praise from everyone into a joke and punchline and treating their fanbase with contempt and much more, I sadly realized that they weren't going to ever move past what they were.
The treatment of Styles after all he had done for them was the last straw for me, carrying the company on his back sometimes literally for twelve years and they go and do him and others like that.
This company will be remembered of all the potential it could've had and what ifs. But will be mostly remembered as for how not to run a wrestling company. I have no sympathy for Dixie given all she's done.
