Sigma posted:Companies potentially facing bankruptcy are in tough positions. As soon as the idea comes out, all creditors start filing for owed debts and it spirals from there. It will be interesting to find out who is funding the latest set of taping? MCC, presumably? would guess it's the Fite Network or whoever bought part of the tape library

Speaking of comics, I got an early preview of an upcoming TNA comic in which EC3's doctor tries to cure him of his now out-of-control bacne... but at what cost?

http://fightnetwork.com/news/6576040:anthem-statement-on-investment-in-tna-impact-wrestling/quote:Toronto – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. (“Anthem”), the parent company of Fight Network, today confirmed that it recently made a working capital loan to fund the operations of TNA Impact Wrestling. Fight Network is a licensee of TNA programming for broadcast in the U.S., Canada and other international markets, and is also the exclusive licensee of TNA for streaming Internet-delivered TV. I got nothing I'm dumbfounded

What kind of ratings does TNA get in Canada They should just move to Canada edit: holy poo poo wait - wasn't Canada where Dixie was sending tapes of Impact every week for free, or was that another country? EugeneJ fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Oct 20, 2016 |

For the purposes of Fight Network it's a good tape library. God bless them if they think they are running a real company and keep funding this poo poo show.

I honestly don't know why as a worker you'd stick around after this. It's not like you're getting paid, unless you're an ex-WWE or WCW star. If ROH got their poo poo together a little better, they could raid all the worthwhile talent in one fell swoop.

All I can think of is that maybe Anthem got the library as collateral and loaned Dixie less than it'd cost to just buy it outright? That's the only way it makes any sense at all to me; wait for it all to collapse and get dibs on the only part of TNA that has any value at all for cheap.

EugeneJ posted:What kind of ratings does TNA get in Canada yeah it was a french canadian station that was translating the show for them.

RZApublican posted:They would totally use action figures if they were taped to Jeremy Borash's drones flying over the Hardy compound. Just drones bumping into each other in a crude approximation of holds and flying overhead for suplexes. She'd be dumb not to. This is the one thing that the Broken saga hasn't done yet. - Possessed wrestling dolls fighting each other. Don't tell me you wouldn't watch Matt Hardy and Abyss fighting with dolls and selling each move the doll gets hit with.

How is it 2016 and TNA....TNA of all drat places gets a billion second chances with countless investors willing to knowingly burn their money in a firepit when we had to live in a world when pro wrestling was still hot in 2001 and ECW and WCW died.

I feel like I should just start phoning American companies to sell my own wrestling company. I have no assets, contracted performers, taped history, or reputation, but hey, if TNA can do it, I'm fairly sure I could poo poo out a logo and get a cool mill. Really, it's a feel good story.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:For the purposes of Fight Network it's a good tape library. It makes sense to me. The WWE can't afford to put up all the hours of content that they own, and while TNA surely would be a nice thing to have on the service, when they could get it up (which won't be free for them either, they're going to have to pay someone to .. . oh god I'm imagining some poor WWE intern having to carefully watch TNA, sorry Deadliest Catch but TNA tape editor is actually the most dangerous job in America). Fight Network doesn't list what MMA or boxing brands they have deals with, so I can't imagine they aren't that big time. TNA might legitimately be the most important brand they license. Considering they have a global cable network (with a whole one cable network clearance in the US but hey, better than nothing) to program on top of a streaming service, TNA existing is almost a necessity to them. Woof. E: I guess when it reaches the point that the juice is no longer worth the squeeze for them, they can always be the ones to sell the tape library to WWE, whenever they decide they need an extra $500K.
