lol had no clue tna was on fox sports TNA is in the same boat as ECW. They havent been good since they were put on Spike/TNN and the people that think the garbage that is on now is good, most likely werent around when TNA was on Fox Sports or running monthly PPVs. Monty Brown, MCM, Johnny divine petey williams those where the days When tna was on spike in 2006-2008 it had like an mma vibe. It just felt cool to watch with advertisements on the barricades the entrance ramp was really cool. I'm not going to say hogan changed tna cause something happened before him joining that changed tna for me. It happened in 2008 and I can't put my head around it.

They were a viable thread when spike first picked them up, and Piss poor management and bad decisions ruined it.

Lot of clickbait on that website. On topic though, if WWE can get the video library it'll be enough to coax me back! Impact 2005 baby!

Something about rvd, every ecw star you could think of, and heel Jeff hardy just made me stop tuning in. I can't image the complaints they received after victory road 2011.

Only if WWE takes the talent and actually uses them! Maybe keep Impact running as another brand? They'd be stupid to throw away Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero. They're one of the hottest acts in the industry!

I gave up on them because of Hogan.

If TNA had a management that had a single clue on how to run a wrestling promotion, They would have been massive right now. They were too concerned about trying to directly compete with WWE instead of staying in their own lane and it bit them in the ass hard. Hogan and friends came in and stripped away everything that made TNA unique, brought it a bunch of WWE hasbeens and pushed aside all their homegrown stars and tried to replicate the monday night wars by moving to monday to compete with WWE FAR before they were ready. TNA just crashed and burned after that and they haven't even come close recovering.

His is amazing if true.
Won't be watching any TNA during the time of the square ring though, that's when it got kinda bad imo.

I'm going to miss TNA, I loved watching it from 05-09 but once Hogan came and ed up everything from the 6-Sided Ring, X-Division gone, and the stupid ramp to the ring that only benefited him cuz of his messed up back it killed the vibe completely.

Damn, I thought TNA was on solid ground? Or is this when they were "selling the company" or what not. Sorry I can't click on that link.

The Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero characters would never make it onto WWE television regardless, so no I don't care whether WWE buys them or not.

TNA was like, never a thing to me as a product anyway. Yes it gave a TV platform to AJ Styles, Austin Aries and Samoa Joe, but I don't recall a time I ever preffered TNA over WWE or NJPW. Sorry not sorry fanboys.

I don't understand why they would bother buying their video library, purely because it means they will be continuously advertising TNA and especially for that price.
Theres no benefit in buying TNA either, once it's under the WWE umbrella it has to be PG and would be watered down.

They buy the whole company (including its tapes) and then shut it down. Same thing they did with wcw and ecw

I'm pretty sure they're not going to be sold to WWE any time soon, that this was when there might've been a deal made, but it wasn't.
It's sad that people want TNA to die just because they don't like it. I've never been able to get into ROH or PWG but you don't see me saying "I HOPE THAT COMPANY DIES, JUST PUT THEM OUT OF THEIR MISERY". That's a horrible mindset. There are people who watch TNA and enjoy it. If you don't like it, don't watch it, but if you wanna give it a try, do it. If you like it keep watching. I'd much rather watch an episode of Impact than RAW.

TNA at one point was amazing.
I honestly don't know what happened.. But it became the exact opposite of what it use to be.
