TNA Deathwatch: Die Another Day

[Final Countdown Jones]

I can't wait to find out what Dixie's secret personal debt to Corgan involves because I'm sure it's going to be amazing and as deeply carny as a debt can possibly be.

To quote Kanye West "Now this be a beautiful death".

All of the years TNA kept surviving certain doom, scumbag tactics, and crippling financial issues; the levee finally breaks and about to wash it all away. Like another ongoing story involving another egomaniac, this getting worst and worst the more people are digging. When TNA is finally dead & buried 6 feet under in a steel coffin covered with concrete, I want Werner Herzog to commentate the 7 hour documentary about TNA.

Also to paraphrase Kanye West "I ain't saying she's a gold digger. But I hear she owes 8 figures."

Waiting for the denial tweet by Dixie saying the court papers are fakes.

So, if AO1 have liens out on the fixtures and fittings, is this why the last episode to be filmed is using the Hardy's stuff. Surely AO1 could take all the IMPACT Zone set and sell it to pay their debts of if I've understood it correctly.

This is essentially TNA's situation in a nutshell



Time will tell if this is truly the end, but in the meantime, FAN's gonna have fun, again!

Dixie right now:



True story: As I was typing this, "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins was playing on SiriusXM's 90s channel. How fitting.

Might be further trouble brewing for TNA. I posted this in the Impact thread already, but it's relevant over here too.

A few readers reached out and asked why there were theme songs for TNA talents - Miracle Mike Bennett and DJ Z - that were removed from tonight's broadcast of Impact Wrestling.

One rumor that has made the rounds is that the music was pulled due to Billy Corgan's lawsuit against the company. We are told that is not correct and in fact, music composed by Corgan for Impact Wrestling aired on tonight's episode.

Based on Youtube postings of each song that was pulled, they were composed and performed by Dale Oliver, who has been working on TNA music themes as far back as 2002. If the music was pulled due to a rights issue (and I can't imagine any other reason that would see the music used at the TV tapings, which we have confirmed they were, and then pulled from the TV broadcast a week later), that issue would be with the songwriter, who in this case would be Oliver.

One would assume TNA contractually had the rights for the themes in question, especially since they were specifically written for talents in the company, but if TNA did, it would make no sense the music was pulled - so it's likely a rights issue of some sort with Oliver.

More as we get it, but the music being pulled was not a by-product of the Corgan lawsuit that was filed on 10/12 in Nashville Chancery Court.

This is like some kind of grand cosmic apology for TNA's apocalypse week not having a grand conclusion to it. Everything is falling apart and this is the death that TNA deserves.

There's only one thing to do at times like this. GET THE POPCORN!

Meanwhile Yuyuko has a bushel basket of popcorn all to herself.

Just think about it for a second. TNA clung to life, long enough to have Bobby Lashley drop the belt in a meaningless match with Eddie Edwards, the one thing TNA had built up in Lashley and somehow didn't ruin, it was like their last act before it all came crashing down, to ruin him.

It's like that last big middle finger they can give before they fade away into nothingness... they're like f***ing Jan from Hellsing Ultimate.

Holy f***, JB's suing them? It must be f***ing bad, dude's like, THE company guy.

With the three known suits, we might be at Blackwatch Plaid.

Burning while not giving one f***. Time for yearly rewatch

When we hit Threat Level Rush's Moving Pictures, it is all over with.
