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. Bischoff, Hogan and Russo say hi |

WWE for the video library. Sinclair so ROH can bring in the X-Division Title, with ROH's partnership with NJPW and CMLL it would be a great addition for the lighter guys.

I don't know how I feel about this. I want TNA to stay in business, just for the competition aspect (if you can even call it that). But the more wrestling companies are around the more jobs wrestlers can have. Eliminate of the companies and it's pretty much WWE and NJPW. You got ROH and Evolve also, but TNA helps get some of these guys exposure.

As many have already said I hope WWE do to get network content. The period with Aj/Daniels/Joe was incredible. Also Abyss was a monster back then. I would often look forward to TNA more than WWE.
The aces and 8s stuff was then end for me. I have seen a few broken Matt clips on YouTube and it does look funny. I have to try and capture it.
Hopefully somebody gets it and runs it right and we get a good alternative to WWE.
While I am here what happened to Jeff Jerretts new company? Did it ever get off the ground?

Just Google Global Force Gold, and you'll see some weird stuff. |

This is horrible news. TNA is great right now. I legitametly think they've been the best wrestling show on tv at various points over the last several months. I'd rather see Billy all-in as owner than have them absolved into WWE, who just wants them to add to the Network library, or ROH, who doesn't really understand how to tell stories on a weekly basis through their tv show. Yeah,  this news. |

EC3, American Wolves, and Broken Hardys are all I'd be interested to see on the main roster.

TNA has been crap for years (the last year I enjoyed was 2012 from them). They'll never be competition for the WWE so if Vince can get the library I'll enjoy watching the goods years on the Network (2004-2008, late 2011-2012).

Not sure how I would feel about the entire company being bought.
But I do know that NXT needs the American Wolves more right now then they EVER have.

I haven't really watched TNA in like the last 2 years, is it really good now? If so it would be a shame if wwe bought them just as they are getting good. IMO wcw was getting a little better in early 2001 before wwe bought them. But like wcw, tna is in the situation they're in because of past sins and like wcw they are getting good when it's too late.

I really liked some of the stuff TNA did in some years. Some of it was painfully bad, other stuff was way better than what the WWE did.
Adding the library to the WWE archive could be good thing for AJ Styles releases and similar stuff, but for the rest I would prefer for the WWE to have at least a small competition. Also Broken Hardys is gold.

Broken Matt wouldn't be in WWE so no. We don't know that. Yeah, they probably wouldn't have passed it origianlly, but after seeing the draw it has had, they would be totally on board. |

There is zero chance that they wouldn't water it down to the point that it's just pointless. I mean, do you really think WWE is going to allow Señor Benjamin preparing the battlefield for massacre, Brother Nero fighting a kangaroo, or Matt running around shooting fireworks at people? |

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. These are some of the big names that WWE could capitalize on who had stints or had a few runs in TNA Sting Macho Man Randy Savage Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Booker T Roddy Piper Dusty Rhodes Mick Foley Kurt Angle Bob Backlund Joey Matthews Ricky Steamboat CM Punk Jim Cornette Hacksaw Jim Duggan Scott Hall Kevin Nash Jimmy Hart Mr. Perfect Road Dogg The Dudleyz Brian Kendrick Chyna Paul Bearer Harley Race |

That too was pretty much the beginning and end of watching TNA for me. They were on fire in late 2004-2005 with the X-Division being at its peak with Styles, Joe, Daniels, Strong, Aries, Sabin, Williams, Skipper, Dutt, etc... I actually thought they were at a strong point too in late 2009 with Styles as champion, but then Hogan came in and we got Nasty Boys, Nash, Hall, Waltman, Bubba the Love Sponge, Abyssmania, and more terrible acts. |

All those other talents were only there for a cup or coffee and are more known for their work in other companies (including WWE itself). |
