TNA is like those zombie Koopas, you can jump on them, but they always get up eventually

This lawsuit might be Mario in the spinning feather cape that finally ends the zombie koopa.

I'm fairly positive that I am the only person in the world Dixie Carter doesn't owe some money to.

Dixie Carter owes Ric "Have you got any spare change, Hunter?" Flair money, so I'm sure she has some unpaid debt even to you.

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.

Hot damn, the chickens are coming home to roost and it seems like they're packing nuclear warheads.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Next week Impact with consist of nothing but backstage segments, as it is discovered Jeff Jarrett owns the rights to the six-sided ring.

I'm only half joking. This is TNA, you know it could happen.

[Joe Neglia]

Hmm...seems a lot of old skeletons coming back all at once. Wonder if they started smelling blood after the last deathwatch, or if somebody possibly started tipping them off that now would be a good time to start getting things filed.

[Gawk Rivers]

You know things have gone to shit when even Dale Oliver thinks his theme songs that he recorded in the men's room are too good for the company.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

So we have Corgan suing, AO1 suing with legal proof that TNA isn't paying some people, and now Dale Oliver's music is being pulled?

My goodness, will TNA even make it to the end of November?

[aka Cthulhu]

TNA has been on death's door so many times that death himself went and installed a revolving door for them, but seems like this may be the one series of events that'll end them.

[jimmyjames]

For some reason I had the theme from People's Court in my head while reading this entire thread.

[Deleted]

For an extra bit of TNA despite the song thing they still have the MP3 of DJZ's theme for sale on their site.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Wow is all I can say. I guess Dixie really thought these loans was free money. These law suits really does make Dixie look like a stupid idiot as someone already posted. I don't see how she will escape from this and TNA still be running. I know in the past the end watch been there and it has but this is way different. Someone said she has money but yet she asking for loans. Well she had money is the term now if that even true because she now has to pay everyone.

Thursday was my birthday. So many gifts from the professional idiots at TNA! And the biggest one yet to come, though I doubt Dixie's going to drag this mess out to Christmas.

[Mozenrath]

I think Dixie could have a behelit, and she still couldn't get out of this one.
