TNA is just a mess, just put it out of their misery hopefully somebody takes them over and knows what they are doing. Dixie Carter is just as bad as Edgar Bronfman Jr. when it comes to running a business. They both nearly ran the companies they were in charge of into the ground. Bronfman Jr. Nearly ruined Warner Music Group over the YouTube muting

Pretty sure the reason that Spike hasn't re-signed with TNA is because they're trying to get WWE back...

i feel there was always massive issues with the tna product, and this is from a guy that's been watching since the weekly ppvs. whenever they did something right they took two steps back. initially you had to give them a break as they were building, but by 2005/2006 despite their joe/angle series etc, it was clear the company itself had massive massive issues.
hopefully jarrett does it right this time.

GFW isn't getting a TV deal before even having a show.

Yeah, I'm sure WWE is dying to get that Consequences Creed footage. Or CM Punk... Or R-Truth.. Or Hulk Hogan.. Or Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Christian, Rob Van Dam.. Or What if Sting has signed? They might like to have his old TNA footage for the many DVDs they'll make of him.. And I'm sure once Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy inevitably come back to WWE they'd like to have footage for their future DVDs aswell. Hell maybe Bully Ray comes back. Or DVon. Or Matt Hardy. Or Ken Anderson. Maybe Scott Steiner signs a Legends deal. Maybe Raven signs a Legends deal.. But yeah.. It's more than likely that Consequences Creed footage WWE wants. GFW isn't getting a TV deal before even having a show. You're so wise.

Every single talent you named, besides Angle... the WWE already own the footage of the peak of their career.

And Angle peaked in WWE. Don't believe me? Look at the decline of his health in TNA. Every single person I named had runs in TNA that were a part of their career. You just named Consequences Creed for what?

GFW isn't getting a TV deal before even having a show. I only said that cause I thought I remember reading that Jarrett has strong connections with Spike Executives. I could be way wrong though.

Shane McMahon is the president of panda energy. What if he wants to buy it?

So am I the only one that wants Dixie to beat EY for the title?
It'd get them some publicity.

I haven't really watched TNA in six/seven years now... I'm shocked it isn't dead yet. Reading this makes me think it is right on the edge, though.

I would imagine that a similar situation would arise as Shane 'buying' WCW out from under Vince's nose, except this time Vince could scoff at it. Imagine all the burying that would go on with another Invasion storyline.

Or Ken Anderson. Maybe Scott Steiner signs a Legends deal. Maybe Raven signs a Legends deal.. The only person that the TNA footage would be worthwhile for is Bully Ray, if he ever goes back to WWE and is a big player. They could show the TNA stuff as him finding his way as a singles wrestler. For Sting, Road Dogg, Nash, Booker, Hardy, Angle, Flair, Foley etc, TNA is just an embarrassing place where they slummed it while not under WWE contract. Essentially, the only time TNA footage would be productive to WWE would be when they're doing a Self-Destruction of DVD on someone. "Jeff was so strung out on meth, he was reduced to this" with a few clips of TNA shows. WWE already has hundreds of thousands of hours of footage, and they produce about seven or eight hours more every week, so they're not desperately in need of network content. If they can ever pick up the TNA library in the five figures range, it'd be worth it. But any more than that, and it just would be a bad investment.
