Anthem and TNA deserve each other, both are insane.

Much like Drake Mavericks marriage the deal wasn't consumated

Meltzer's just hashing over what Oracle has gotten wrong in his Observer.
PWInsider still reporting the AXS buyout is still on the cards. Leonard Asper has over $37billion dollars worth of assets to his name. He has the connections to make something happen as well, Ed Nordholm is his assistant.

Is Impact really worth buying out another company though to put them on

So the only way that Impact gets a better TV deal if the owners BUY a network? Ok than. This really is one of the more Impact things I've ever heard from this company.

I just wanna know why they think that Mark Cuban will sell his vanity channel just because AXS didn't want to pick up Impact?

I’m guessing that the much more relevant reason for letting Scarlett go is that Anthem likely doesn’t grant Impact THAT much of a budget, hence they’re not going to hang on to everyone or pay at a rate competitive with the bigger players on the scene right now, no matter how much money their chief owners might have.

Yea, let's not forget just because ownership is worth billions, that doesn't mean they are pouring that into the product. Impact probably has a modest budget and can probably increase depending on certain circumstances but yeah they don't have much wiggle room

Impact is the wrestling product associated with Anthem. Like, people probably should let go of the concept that they're this joke of a promotion thats going to die. Its not. Billions of dollars of assets behind it, and part of a collection of IP. Yeah the channel they are on is the worst, but its temporary.
Let the death of TNA thing go. Its not happening. In fact, if you download Pluto on Roku or another streaming service, there is an Impact channel playing old and new content. Why would something that creates good content, with 15 years of IP, for a well funded media conglomorate, die?

In any case, TNA died in name, and with no Jarrett or Dixie, no Abyss or Eric Young, etc, there's no TNA left in Impact, really.

So Impact will not die, is not close to dying, and talking about Impact dying because their parent company didn't close a multi billion dollar deal to aquire a station... just seems silly to me.

Why would something that creates good content, with 15 years of IP, for a well funded media conglomorate, die? To my mind, any day that parent company may wake up and realize they’ve been funding a venture they do not care about and that has never turned a profit for going on 20 years now. That the content is comparatively cheap seems pretty irrelevant when it is losing in the ratings to reruns of shows from 50 years ago. At a certain point they have to wonder if that money is not better spent on another venture that may or may not yield better returns but can hardly do worse. Cody worked for them for a bit. The idea for AEW had to be percolating already. He surely approached someone with ideas at some point. The company already had significant backers who could invest in a bold new vision if they chose to. Yet here we are.

They may have a lot of money behind it in the parent company, but so does ROH and look at them.

ROH was always going to be filler content for the media conglomerate’s range of channels. Anthem have at least tried to right the ship with Impact somewhat after a few stumbles and they don’t seem to have that same ability to just stick them on a range of channels and call it a day.

Anthem have at least tried to right the ship with Impact somewhat after a few stumbles and they don’t seem to have that same ability to just stick them on a range of channels and call it a day. That's the thing that I like more about Impact and what I hate about ROH. Both products were on their ass a couple years ago. Anthem played the smarter game and tried to build a better company after the wreckage left in the wake of the returning Jarretts and the abortion that was El Cokehead Del Knife Fight and his run. After that, Anthem put people in charge that know what they are doing in Don Callis and Scott D'amore. Ever since the Joint Venture with Lucha Underground where cokehead no-showed, Impact has put on solid TV and good to great PPVs as a result. I have faith that the AXS move will happen, but maybe in September or by the first of 2020. Sinclair on the other hand decided to do absolutely nothing to fix their issues internally. Instead, they banked on massive star power in Bully Ray, The Young Bucks, Cody, NJPW's big names among others. After botching the Dalton Castle run and putting Bully Ray in charge, things have gone massively downhill. The Women Of Honor has been nothing short of a disaster when they can't even get on TV. Then you have the massive MSG show, which proved that New Japan doesn't need ROH to draw in America. Everything ROH has done since the AEW announcement and the exodus of talent to either AEW, New Japan, MLW or WWE, has been either middling or poorly executed.
