Eh, I'm going to wait for Meltzer or an official announcement before I believe anything, either way it goes.

The only thing the Observer said before the show was: 

1. They are not going out of business
2. WWE is not buying them

[Mister Pigwell]

Yeah Corgan just probably fronted it again.

Emptiness is loneliness
And loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness
And God is empty
Just like my pockets after fronting TNA money too many times

Most disappointing end for a storyline this year

Man, the one time I want wrestling gods to give me shenanigans...

On Twitter, EC3 and Josh Matthews posted tweets that vaguely came across to me as good - bye messages to the fans.

EC3: I'm so sorry I let you all down

Josh: you f**ing right you did, you EC3 loser.

EC3: Josh, don't make me come for your soul.

...We all got worked, didn't we?

F***.

Well, that depends; did anyone here buy Bound for Glory solely to find out if the company would announce its fate on live PPV? If everyone who did buy it was buying it anyway--like for Hardy shenanigans--or just decided they'd watch a stream/keep an eye on twitter and the board to find out, then they've just spent a lot of effort making their company look like absolute garbage to us, to the wrestling news media, and given Corgan's interviews even to just normal mainstream sports media, all for pretty much no financial gain. I really don't doubt that TNA would be f***ing stupid enough to tank public perception just in a desperate hope of landing some attention because the entire company is just the vanity project of an attention-starved bumbling idiot. But in 2016, working people just for the sake of working them is f***ing dumb, if you're not getting any gains then what's even the point, and at some point Meltzer is going to find out anyway and you'll have just made a ass of yourself for doing it anyway.

The video stops working after two seconds (for me anyway) and says 'Media can't be played' .. What does he say?

[ayumidah]

It was glitching up for me too, but a refresh usually fixed it. He started off saying that he had beat Lashley in the past, but it wasn't his night tonight, that tonight belonged to the crowd, to the roster in the back, and stuff about how he'd go to war with everyone in the back, would die for them, because they love it (wrestling I guess) as much as he loves it, and the crowd loves it. The crowd started chanting TNA and he encouraged them on to remember that chant, saying that they live for that, and thanks to them, they keep this going, they keep doing for them eff the haters, eff everybody who doubts this. Then urged them to chant TNA once more before he heads to the back.

Yeah eff the haters, the same people who want tna to die because of what they do to the wrestlers and production crew, ec3 clearly belongs in tna. Have fun working at the flea markets next year.

The real loser, for now is Maffew.

I'm sure he has a TNA IN MEMERIOM montage video ready to go.. and I really want to see it

In fairness I think the notion that a guy who works at TNA doesn't want TNA to fold is not completely useless. I really think this whole deal is more complicated than some of us are willing to admit, the company blows and deserve what they get but doesn't discount the fact that TNA's collapse might be bad news for some.

How can the collapse of a place that lies to them and owes them money is a bad thing?

TNA will never pay them what they're worth and will never take care of them. Even when his company was in the shithole, Vince didn't hid the reality from the roster, he actually admitted that what he was doing wasn't working anymore. He also told the truth about not being able to pay as much when the company was hurting.

Dixie Carter lies to her roster, pays them late and in some cases just neglects to pay the production people.

IF it does go out of business they most assuredely wouldn't get what they are owed... but there's a good chance of that not happening anyway so that's a toss up.

I also think EC3 knows that WWE won't take him, especially not with whatever he's on.

I noticed Meltzer tweeting that EC3 should have his back acne checked out. For Dave to publicly call him out on it, it's because his steroid use is getting out of control.
