I highly highly doubt this. TNA has survived a thousand deaths, didn't I hear that schmuck Bill Simmons threw money their way to continue tapings or was that an urban legend I heard? I'll believe it when I see it. This is the third or fourth TNA for sale story I've heard, that company is being tossed around like Sunny in the 90s if these talks are legit.

There's been rumors for weeks now about one thing or another, why do Bob and Dixie choose now to both address this current one?
They've ignored the hoopla until this point.

It's funny.
I think TNA want to break the news themselves, but the shit keeps leaking online. So they go on social media saying "Oh it's all BS" wait until the rumors to die down, and just when they think they are in the clear.. the news rumors break out again.

It makes no sense. The more I hear a variation of the story, the more I'm wondering if any of this is true. We know Dixie's incompetent and Bob is a paid stooge. But none of the stories I've been hearing really tie together. I believe that they found a money mark who is willing to pay for future tapings giving them a little more life before they're in the red again. I don't think a sale is imminent, but that's just me.

The back of Vince's head is a well-done steak. Somehow that makes all the sense in the world. |

I just thought of something: What if Billy Corgan's rebranding for TNA is it becoming Global Force Wrestling? Double J already got everything but an actual roster and tv. If things go as planned, Billy would have a majority of the roster's contract and TV contracts. I sense the TNA brand and Impact Wrestling brand will be part of the WWE deal so no one be using those names for shows or company. Double J did tweet about big news coming soon. So either this is the plan or the latest shipment of Karen Jarrett 8x12s came in. A secret Jeff Jarret infiltration of TNA through the proxy of an eccentric rock star would be exactly the kind of nonsense that would keep this story interesting and never ceasing to be. The story of TNA has pretty much been the most pro wrestling thing ever and the fun just owuldn't stop if that was the case. |

In one hand selling the library helps TNA depth-wise, it's a clean slate. On other hand, as a company you have no history from now on. You can't use any of it in the future.

Josh Mathews: We're closing in on them in the ratings war, sir. In less than a year, the WWE will be ours.
Bob Ryder: Good! Prepare to attack!
Josh Mathews: Prepare to attack!
Bob Ryder: On the count of 3. 1...2... [the WWE buys the TNA Library] Wait! What happened? Where are they?!
Josh Mathews: I don't know, sir! They must have money or something?!
Bob Ryder: And what have we got on this thing, a Cuisinart?!
Josh Mathews: No, sir!
Bob Ryder: Well, find them, catch them!
Josh Mathews: Yes, sir! [turns on microphone] Prepare TNA for High Morale!
Bob Ryder: No-no-no, High Morale is too low!
Josh Mathews: High Morale is too low?
Bob Ryder: Yes, we're gonna have to go right to... Ludicrous Morale!
[The entire crew gasps in horror]
Josh Mathews: Ludicrous Morale?! Sir, we've never gone that high before! I don't know if the company can take it!
Bob Ryder: What's the matter, douchebag Josh? Chicken?
Josh Mathews: [stuttering, sounding much like a chicken] Prepare TNA-- [more clearly and loudly] Prepare TNA for ludicrous morale! Fasten all seat belts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall! Cancel the three ring circus! Secure all animals in the zoo--
Bob Ryder: Give me that, you petty excuse for an announcer! [Takes the microphone] Now hear this! Ludicrous morale--
Josh Mathews: Sir, hadn't you better buckle up?
Bob Ryder: Ah, buckle this! Ludicrous Morale, GO!
[Bob Ryder is screaming as he sees various warp trails on the monitor. Meanwhile, there are signs lighting up indicating "HIGH MORALE", "RIDICULOUS MORALE", and a flashing "LUDICROUS MORALE" sign]
Bob Ryder: What have I done?! My brains are going into my fat ass!
[TNA passes WWE Headquarters, leaving a trail of plaid light behind them]
Ambrose: [he and AJ Styles quickly duck] WOW!! What the Hell was that?
AJ Styles: TNA!
Ambrose: They've gone Full-Dixie!
Bob Ryder: We passed 'em! Stop this thing!
Josh Mathews: We can't stop, it's too dangerous; we've got to lower the morale first!
Bob Ryder: Bullshit! Just stop this thing! I order you: STO-O-O-O-P!
[Josh Mathews reaches out and uses the emergency brake, which has a "Never use" warning on it. Ryder goes flying forward, while screaming, into a pile of plastic Eric Young Beards.]
Josh Mathews: Are you all right, sir?
Bob Ryder: [slightly dazed] Fine. How have you been?
Josh Mathews: Very good, sir. It's a good thing you landed in those beards.
Bob Ryder: Yeah.
Josh Mathews: What should we do now, sir?
Bob Ryder: Well, are we stopped?
Josh Mathews: We're stopped, sir.
Bob Ryder: Good. Why don't we take a 5-minute break?
Josh Mathews: Very good, sir.
Bob Ryder: Smoke, if you got 'em. [Falls over]

So in "Stupid Wastes of a Rock Star's Fortune" where does TNA slot in? Gotta be somewhere in between Elvis buying everyone he knew a Caddy and Paul marrying Heather Mills.

So, he's literally selling off the company's history and starting 100% fresh but with the same roster of guys? ...TBH, that's about the best way to handle it. TNA is a tainted brand. Might as well scorch the earth and try again. Although, based on what I've seen of Corgan's booking, I'm not particularly thrilled by the idea of what his company will bring. That's the thing, most of the past is better than what they have now. It would probably be more exciting to watch other TNA eras than what they do in present time on Pop. |

To be fair not like that's stopped TNA before. There've been countless times they've had a feud entirely rooted in something that happened in WCW or ECW or whatever. |

I'm guessing this confirms Nathan Havel's Kickstarter Campaign to buy TNA didn't take off.
