Honestly, the Carters must be idiots in my opinion in running a wrestling business for not removing their bigger idiot of a daughter of authority to TNA and when they had a chance to sell TNA to someone who wants to run the business or even try to run it correctly, they wanted their daughter to have some sort of power in the company. Honestly, this should not be news cause this has been very obvious this past year or even last year when guys like AJ Styles started leaving and the multiple releases. By now, we all know what a moron Dixie is in running a business because she listens to the wrong people. I still hope Spike TV can make a deal with TNA, cause if not, we can say bye bye to TNA cause I've said many, many times before, Spike TV is the reason TNA is even around today. Even though I am bashing TNA management to pieces, the reason I hope Spike and TNA can make a deal is for the wrestlers who need a place to wrestle at a national stage.

Sigh...long live GFW. It is sad to know a company I once loved is dying.

If they lose Spike, they're as good as dead.

Honestly...
I think they need to revisit the idea of selling to Jarrett & Kieth. Take Dixie off the table. Kill the name TNA, and re-brand it GFW. Between the TNA roster & a few of the guys he was interested in bringing into GFW, they could have a legit well rounded roster.
Not to mention, no more Dixie!!

TNA is better off dead at this point. It's really past the point of no return.

I refused to yield and be pessimistic like the majority, and believe TNA was dying. I think I was trying to keep it going in my head. But there's no doubt about it. Things are dire, and I can see it now. Shame because I've been a TNA fan since 2003

It appears that TNA might be on life support, with Spike TV being the plug. This whole situation seems quite familiar; I'd liken it to the final days of World Champion Wrestling. WCW started to finally put some focus on younger talent like Scott Steiner, Booker T, Lance Storm, Shane Helms, the Filthy Animals, and the Natural Born Thrillers among other younger stars in the company. The product started to become better, but the AOL/Time Warner merger put an end to WCW. If I recall, in 2000 alone, WCW was $60 million dollars down the hole With TNA, a lot of their more prominent stars started to leave, they splurge a ton of money into bringing Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, and attempted to branch their company to new markets by taking their "Impact Wrestling" live in the road. TNA also had Vince Russo, a man known and recognized for his crash-TV style writing that involved ridiculous storylines and the twists in those storylines, on their creative team. When prominent talent/personalities like Hogan, AJ Styles, and Sting started to leave because of contractual differences, TNA started to push younger stars like Magnus, EC3, Gunner, Spud, and the BroMans in order to make them credible stars in their company. I can only wonder what might be the reason that Spike TV and TNA don't have a TV deal finalized. As a fan, their product hasn't been good for quite some time and decisions like suddenly giving Eric Young the TNA World Heavyweight Championship on Impact with little to no build-up at all makes me think about what is going on with the company. Those who don't learn from history's past mistakes are doomed to repeat it. In the case of TNA, they didn't learn quick enough. Apparently, Vince Russo might be back on TNA's payroll as a creative consultant. It's quite sad to see the closest thing to an alternative wrestling product since the demise of WCW might die a slow death. It couldn't have happened to a more appropriate person

It's ironic TNA also has a connection to a "power plant".

You never ever get "non wrestling people" to run a wrestling company. It never works. Just ask Jim Herd.

I lost the majority of interest when I realized AJ Styles was 100% gone. Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and Bad Influence were the only reason to watch, but it wasn't enough.

With Sabin, Daniels and most likely Kazarian gone... The Wolves and Aries aren't enough for me to care about this company.

At this point, it's time to pull the plug, and put TNA out of it's misery.
This isn't even TNA anymore, not really. Dixie took this company, ran it into the garbage heap, and made it into a a shelf of it's former self. I really, really, really hope SpikeTV doesn't come to terms on a new deal with Dixie, because I just want to see it end, and GFW rise up.
