I watch for the wrestling, not the business side of it. The weekly show is  ing great and arguably the best product out there right now. I don't understand why a company likeECW is praised despite having no money, but TNA gets bashed on for it 24/7. Indy fans make fun of TNA for financial issues, but their favorite Indy company probably has MAYBE 10% of the money TNA does. The TNA hate in 2016 baffles me, watch the ing product and I'm sure your opinion will change. Aren't we wrestling fans who watch for the product? Not sure why everyone gets SO caught up in the stuff that goes on behind the scenes This is the problem I have. Why are these people still here? TNA's product is really ing good right now. Listen, I can laugh too. A ton of the comments in this thread are hilarious, but that doesn't change the fact that TNA is arguably putting out the best weekly wrestling show on TV right now. They have young fresh stars at the top like EC3/Bennet/Galloway and largely everything they do on their show has a purpose. I love WWE. Nothing is ever going to change that but nobody else can be WWE. TNA is doing so much good work right now from an on-air standpoint that it's pretty infuriating to see people who don't watch drop by just to bury them for no reason. I've gone through highs and lows with TNA too. They've earned it. I'm the last person who is going to blindly defend it. ESPECIALLY, when my favorite TNA stars are now in WWE, and my favorite TNA tag team of all time is currently in ROH. That's how good TNA has been in recent weeks. They've made me like the show and invest in new characters and care about who their world champion is or is going to be all despite losing my favorite wrestlers. |

People rag on TNA because they are piss poorly managed and they dont pay and keep there talent. You don't ask aj styles to take a 50-60% pay cut and expect to be around for long. How many different champions have they had in the last 2-3 years ?? Close to a dozen ?? TNA hotshots everuthing making people lose interest and people come in and are gone 6-9 months later. TNA has no long term business plan, they are clearly the #3 promotion now and spirialing down the drain. Ohh and they got evicted from there offices, by the way.

TNA has been an excellent on-air product since January when they made their POP debut. That's all that matters to me as a fan of pro wrestling. |

Kurt Angle must be skint if he is wrestling indies. Makes no sense when you consider the money he must of made and his injuries. I definitely don't think he's skint. He's done pretty well for himself financially. Since leaving TNA he worked that match with Mysterio last month and that's about it. He says he's taking a break from wrestling. |

That is really embarrassing for them. Too bad. Remember when Hogan and friends all first came to TNA and they though thet were gonna be the next big thing?
It sucks to see a company die over time like this. I seen someone comment they're number 3 in the wrestling world now. Who's number two? NJPW? ROH?
I'd think Lucha Underground is even doing better than TNA is now.

Dixie and her team have no idea what they're doing. Also, I have kept up with the product, and it's appalling. |

This seemingly continued downward spiral of TNA is somewhat depressing looking back at all the potential the company had just less than 10 years ago. I laughed... But seriously.. I WAS A HUGE supporter of TNA since day one... even before they ever aired and it was just news that Jeff and Jerry Jarrett where starting a new promotion..... ... and it;s just getting sad... what happened TNA... what happened...................... |

The TNA hate in 2016 baffles me, watch the ing product and I'm sure your opinion will change. Aren't we wrestling fans who watch for the product? Not sure why everyone gets SO caught up in the stuff that goes on behind the scenes I can agree that TNA as a product has been getting a little better than it has been years ago. So far my favorite things to watch is the Decay and Jade/Mia Yim (just cause I'm a huge mark for her). However, it's hard not to pay attention to the behind the scene stuff. Them moving to a warehouse as their headquarters doesn't bother me as much as it does others. Does it look bad for their public image? It does cause it makes them look like they're failing. When a lot of times they're late in paying their talent, it makes them look bad, so how can fans not pay attention to that? Sure we don't have to pay attention to the behind the scene stuff and maybe that would make more people enjoy the product more, but when the past two years they've had to move from channel to channel to channel and their viewership keep getting lower and lower, how can you expect fans not to pay attention? Now I totally disagree with those fans that come on here and say, "Oh, I wish TNA would just die already". Even though I understand their reasoning why they say, and I bet it's not because they want to see wrestlers and the crew out of a job, but mostly because they don't want Dixie Carter in the wrestling business anymore and they're tired of reading news about TNA. Even though I could understand the "haters", I don't agree with that statement because like I just mentioned, wrestlers whose main paycheck comes from TNA would lost that pay that they need to feed their families. I gotta give Dixie a lot of credit for holding on to TNA as long as she has and for always getting lucky at getting these deals to air Impact. Sometimes I wish Dixie would have just sold the company when she had the chance. This company went from having so much potential and getting 1.4 million viewers to only getting 300,000 viewers where news reports can't even post a rating and instead posts how many viewers just to make it sound better. They're basically another indy company with television. |

All the guys on the "roster" and are making more than table scraps will be fine on the indies when TNA closes. The others will just have to fend for themselves.
The production crew that almost walked out on TNA for not being paid for several weeks ? I think those people can find new jobs somewhere and that actually pay on time.

The problem is, no investor is going to buy into TNA unless they have majority ownership. And till Dixie gives them that, TNA will continue to suffer. JR just confirmed that is why Tobey Keith backed out. Which is a real shame, because TNA has the talent, just not the management.

I remember hearing Anthony Thomas of Wrestling Soup last night saying on the Don Tony and Kevin Castle Show that the Harris Brothers might even become majority owners of TNA because of their company fronting money to TNA. If Dixie really wants TNA to survive, she should just give majority owners to anyone who has a legit reason to want to run a wrestling company.

They are just the only ones in that company with experience in the wrestling business and both working in TNA in the past makes them more qualified to handle the negotiating and whatever else is going on between the two parties. |

If there keeping TNA afloat, them they should pull funding. Then they can buy tna for pennies on the dollar and won't have to deal with dixie. I dont know how a company that has probably never made any money would have multiple companies trying to buy it. Or Dixie could just get out of the way and save TNA.
