Eli Drake, EC3, Bennett, Gail Kim, Wolves, Decay, Matt Hardy, Trevor Lee, Andrew Everett, Galloway. All strong talents. Strong talents, but not valuable assets. EC3 is the only one I'd like to see get another shot in WWE if something happened to TNA. I think Drake is most valuable of all of them. If WWE is willing to take NXT....they will take anything.

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. Plus, everything on the show has a purpose. There's not one segment on the show that is just filler. Is everything great? No. But it's better than some Randy Orton vs. Sheamus for the 50th time... that month.

I'm sure WWE will eventually get TNA's library. I don't want TNA to die, I want to see it do a hell of a lot better. They need to completely reset and I don't mean change the logo and theme song. A complete reset. Replace IMPACT with a new show, four sided ring as the six sided did not change a damn thing like everyone thought it would, new commentary team that is actually ringside, run venues they know work - Manhattan Center, Sands Bethlehem Event Center, maybe some venues Bellator runs as they look perfect for a company like TNA, maybe not a two hour show? One of my issues with IMPACT is they feel they need to use everyone every week. NXT and now sometimes RAW/SmackDown we aren't seeing the same people each week, it feels refreshing to me. Since they love to have special episodes every three weeks with no build they'd actually build live special episodes for the last show of the month when there is no PPV scheduled, I'm not a fan of every title being defended every two weeks I feel a title match should be important, not another six minute match on a crowded show.
But yeah excusing my rant I want TNA to do better so WWE will have to wait a while before purchasing their library.

I hope that TNA doesn't go belly up but if it does WWE would be smart to buy the video library and to sign a few of current crop of wrestlers.But on the positive side maybe if TNA goes down old Double J could finally get GFW off the ground and onto a network while also signing a few of the former TNA guys to help out his very shallow roster.

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.

I think for content, it would be good, but i doubt they'll buy it even if TNA closes its doors

If potential buyers let it die or just wait until tna gets more desperate they can buy the company for pennies on the dollar. Then they can fire all the morons in management including dixie, then problem solved. The only thing i can think of is maybe dixie put some kind of poison pill language into these money deals.

I want to say the content, which IMO has been good for the past year. I would also agree that anyone putting money into TNA or even agreeing to any form of minority ownership is dumb because of TNA's track record of business

Good is subjective... I cant even watch a full show.. I tune in for the people I like and check out after..and believe me, there arent many people I like in that company.
If TNA were to shut down I would like to see EC3 Eddie Edwards and Mike Bennett get a chance in NXT or WWE..
But I dont think we are supposed to talk about the demise of TNA... the 6 people that watch the show on a regular basis will come yell at us and act as if we just slapped their mother.
That company will fail because Dixie is Dixie... it's not like there is anyone's lively hood's getting ruined by her being the way she is or anything.

Eli Drake, EC3, Bennett, Gail Kim, Wolves, Decay, Matt Hardy, Trevor Lee, Andrew Everett, Galloway. All strong talents. I could see EC3, Eli Drake and Mike Bennett doing great things on NXT and WWE. Everyone else you mentioned, eh I'm not speaking of whether they could succeed or not in NXT. We've already seen both EC3 and Drake in NXT and both got the boot and I dont think it was because of a lack of talent. Jeff and Matt could EASILY have success in WWE. WWE wants to do a Hardy's DVD for next year. Lee and Everett probably would have the best chances to succeed though. My list was just the pieces that I feel are the best talents in TNA that could, if given the chance, be assets to WWE or NXT.

Matt the wackjob barber of suckstreet should have retired years ago. He is not a strong talent, and no he and jeff could not have easy success in WWE right now. Jeff couldnt pass the 30 drug tests while he was there originally, and matt....well matt just sucks.
dont try to defend them because you think you know jeff hardy either lol.

My personal opinion? TNA should have let ROH buy them. Form as one company and rebrand.
That was when TNA was at its best. Back in the mid 2000s when they were exchanging talent with NJPW/ ROH on a regular basis.

Here is my opinion....
TNA clearly always has valuable talent. AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Eric Young, Austin Aries, Sabin ect. At one point they had a very strong roster with a clear definition of who was Top Card. But they had absolutely no idea how to utilize their talent. You can only groom someone so far until they have no farther to go. Plus it didn't help that they were messing around with their pay. They had loyal talent. I think AJ was so loyal and they really hurt him.
Honestly I just started watching again. They have some good guys. Drew Galloway, EC3, Bennett, Lashley (albeit he is boring as f haha), Gail Kim...but sometimes I find myself confused as to who is top talent. I think they need to clean up the story lines, fixate themselves on a few top guys for the moment and focus on getting things not so messy.
Why I stopped watching a year ago was because of the mess. They started passing the title around so quick and without reason. Like one week it was Sabin, then Aries, then Eric Young and Magnus. It wa seeing passed around more than me at a frat party! Seriously though they seemed to have cleaned it up a bit. I LOVE TNA and I don't wanna see them fail. Honestly I don't think Vince does either. I wouldn't be surprised if he has supported them financially a few times. Competition, even if it's small, is good. WWE knows TNA will never be on their level. They aren't a threat. But to let them go under would be a shame.

Since WWE is a publicly traded company, they have to reveal everything, including if they had gave money to TNA.

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? To whoever has a TV deal and is not either wwe or any cool/hip/trendy indy company. With this being said i would go with GFW.

I hope it doesn't die. I'll take TNA over RAW most of the time. Same here. But if they do go under I hope Sinclair buys them out so ROH can get their spot on POP, sign some of their talent and (maybe) bring the X Division over.

With this being said i would go with GFW. well if you're not a cool/hip/trendy production in 2016, then yes, you're going to get criticized for being irrelevant. i've been watching tna since it's inception - i think i bought the fourth weekly ppv they had and bought nearly all of them after that until they got their tv deal. they deserve the hate that they get 100%, the product has gotten worse not better throughout the years while the wrestling around them has learned to evolve with the times. the majority of people on this board claim that they just wish to see tna return to what it was pre hogan/bischoff...you can't just write them off as haters just because they're not smiling while they eat crap.

As a matter of fact, they have some really good talent. The problem is the usual. They have the talent, but their writing kills it. There is another thread going on about it, so I won't rewrite the list. But, EC3, The Miracle, Galloway etc. All very talented guys man. Jeff and Matt are winding down.
