I wonder what Jeff Jarrett thinks of all this?

Well this seems like a win/win. The name TNA has to go. It's awful. It was a double entendre that only Russo & Jarrett found funny. Re-branding the name is the best thing for them. Now if they can officially get Dixie out, they may have a punchers chance. And now WWE can use footage for talents like Sting, AJ, Roode, & Joe. It will make career retrospective DVDs even better than before. And adds more content to the Network. Like I said... win/win. I wonder how they explain Sting's time there since they wanted everyone to believe that he went into hibernation after WCW folded?

I can't wait to see Samoa Joe being kidnapped by ninjas for $9.99 No, I'm not being sarcastic. I really want it. There. You owe me 10 bucks. I'll PM you my Paypal addy. Fattest ninjas ever. And where did that last one run off too? He just took of in the opposite direction.

For what it's worth, Bob Ryder is refuting this claim.. It's spelled ZACK.... But seriously no idea who that is. He works for TNA. He's also notoriously full of crap when it comes to denying things related to TNA, so...

Honestly, if WWE buys the TNA library then TNA is essentially dead. Imagine WCW without ties to JCP or WWECW without ties to ECW. Might as well just scrap everything and start all over.

Billy Corgan should completely rebrand TNA to Impact Wrestling Championship, or IWC for short. I think everything related to TNA needs to go. If they call it Impact, which they already do, everyone will still think of TNA. Every single thing needs to change. The only exception to this might be the six sided ring. Maybe. Nah, the six sided ring wiukd still scream TNA Impact. A regular 4 sided ring is good enough IMO

If it's true, I'll be back as a network subscriber for TNA 2005-2009.

I really wish WWE would comment on all of this already. So many different stories floating around. I hope wwe clarifies things soon.

Maybe they could bring it back one a year or something for a special nostalgia PPV. I'm a fan of the six sided ring and I hate to see it go but you're right, everything "TNA" needs to die.

If they wanna start fresh, it would not be a good idea to use the six sided ring. I like the six sided ring, but I'm sure the wrestlers wont miss it since its harder on their bodies.

Good. the promotion/name "TNA" needs to die. It's already a promotion that is tainted with negativity. Not to mention when you actually think about it "Total Nonstop Action" is one of the lamest names for a wrestling promotion ever. Hell, even Impact wrestling is silly. Corgan NEEDS to re-brand. You have a boatload of talented, popular wrestlers. You can start FRESH with new titles, new styles, new presentation. Streamline the company, get it to where it needs to be. WWE can now make money off half the guys they've signed who were in TNA. It's all for DVD/Network stuff anyway...and it's wrestling, so it holds value to them. Now TNA can finally disappear, and I trust that Billy Corgan will actually do something with the new brand. But this, to me, is a potential win-win for everyone involved. It's time to move on from TNA/Impact Wrestling. God yes they need to change the presentation, TNA's way of putting on a television show is so bad. Commentators not at ringside in a booth somewhere else? That was awful. Instead of building up special episodes for the end of the month they'll have one every few weeks with ZERO build. Get away from Universal for the love of god. Billy had Resistance Pro in Chicago, maybe go there? Philly, New York, just not in front of ing tourists who don't know the product. No Impact as a show or as a title name, that name is hell to a lot of wrestling fans. And whatever the new name is, actually know what the name is. Dixie can't make her mind up whether they're TNA or Impact Wrestling. But she won't be there and that is very, very, very, very, very good. If this is true, perfect. The guys and girls in TNA will have Billy leading them in a fresh new direction, unlike previous new TNA directions which just meant a new logo or going back to Universal, Vince gets what he wants, the tape library and yeah. Good deal.

I've never understood that. How is it harder on their bodies? The ropes are incredibly tighter due to the ring posts being much closer together, and I'd imagine due to the canvas shape there is a lot more wood and metal underneath holding it up.

This, a few former TNA wrestlers have passed comment on how much harder it is go work in it.

I always wondered what an American $3.50 looked like.
