The end has to be coming soon. I hope wwe just buys the video library and maybe bring over a handful of talents. I would like to know how much money the company has lost over the years. Paul heyman mentioned once it was 6 million dollars on stone cold podcast. I am not sure if that was over a full year or quarter or a month. Was tna ever making money ? What where the ppv buys like ? Why where they always hot shotting everything. I would wwe to make a 20 piece documentary like they did with wcw.
A lot of former tna guys are in wwe now so if and when it goes belly up they could actually shed some light on what was going down.

I hope it doesn't die. I'll take TNA over RAW most of the time.

They never really did big PPV business, most of them were in the 20,000-30,000 buy range.

We think they made money at some point and had 20k+ ppv buys but we really don't know for sure. Tna for some reason has had no one ever leak hard data about the company. They must have non-disclosures in talents and employees contracts...

There's no one in TNA of value anymore besides maybe Jeff Hardy. And only a portion of their library would even be worth owning. It could be useful for dvds about Styles, Joe, Aries, Roode, etc... but other than that, it's a useless library.

Eli Drake, EC3, Bennett, Gail Kim, Wolves, Decay, Matt Hardy, Trevor Lee, Andrew Everett, Galloway. All strong talents.

EC3 is the only one I'd like to see get another shot in WWE if something happened to TNA.

I guess they could pick off a few talents they want,throw all the content on WWE Network and call it a day.

TNA was doing fine business wise until they brought Hogan and Bischoff in. After that it all went downhill quick.

TNA has lost money almost every year they've been in business and sadly the company won't die until "Southern Belle" Dixie Carter let's go and she stupidly hasn't.

TNA + Hulk Hogan + Eric Bischoff = Financial disaster.
Dixie's not blameless either.

I'm not sure if TNA will ever 'die' - especially when Dixie's involved.

I used to prefer TNA over WWE at one point. I remember when Hogan and Bischoff joined I was so excited, I thought they were gonna make the product so much better, man was i wrong. It's sad to see what TNA has become. I don't want TNA to die I just wish they could turn things around and stay in business cause it's nice to have an alternative.

I hope it doesn't die. I'll take TNA over RAW most of the time. I agree with this wholeheartedly. For one, TNA Impact is only 2 hours long, so it doesn't seem to drag on. Secondly, since TNA doesn't have monthly PPV shows or two shows a week like Raw and Smackdown, things actually seem new and some what fresh on Impact at times. Where as you see Ambrose vs. Jericho on Raw, then Smackdown and then the PPV?? No thanks.

Yes, five minutes into the documentary they hype TNA up to be this beacon of light into the wrestling world in the beginning, this great new wrestling company that was fresh, exciting & the answer people were waiting for with their future looking so bright, they could do no wrong in the fans eyes only for the documentary to take a dark turn.. thus making way for the self destruction of TNA DVD..
WWE wouldn't put it past me if they made former TNA stars eg. AJ Styles, Bobo Roode, Eric Young, Joe & Aries all forced to talk trash about the company, talking smack about Dixie Carter & her idiotic leadership, the money they've lost over the years, the lawsuits with injured wrestlers, the Hogan/Bischoff era, Vince Russo behind the scenes and the biggest one of all..
One last opportunity for Vince to belittle Jeff Jarrett & once again having the last laugh..
Oh and they've got to have Gerald Briscoe in the closing five seconds of the dvd with the immortal quote.. "the lesson of the day kids, never cross MISTER MUC-MAN" *wink wink, smirk smirk, hint hint* ;]

I wonder what will happen to the haters? What will they have to hate? ROH? Lucha Underground? Will they turn their eyes to NXT? Where will all that hate go?
