I feel bad for Gail Kim. Last time she was in WWE they didn't give a poo poo, TNA doesn't give a poo poo. There's nowhere for her to go from here that's even remotely a positive

It's amazing how much stock Dixie puts into ex-WWE guys. It doesn't matter that Josh Matthews is loving tanking negotiations with investors, he used to work for Vince!

She's used to it. They won't reach a deal no matter what because Dixie wants majority stock and to still be a big part in the company, and no investor with a brain would sign an agreement to either

Also sounding like Pop didn't tell TNA about the replay being taken away until yesterday. So yeah. This is getting fun again.

So if they can't afford to book that sound stage at Universal... sorry, THE IMPACT ZONE anymore or airfare for talent, they're hosed, right?

It can't be any cheaper to run that casino in PA. I doubt their deal with POP lets them just run out the second half of the year with clip shows (featuring people who don't wrestle there anymore :lol:) so maybe they breach that contract and owe POP money on top of everything else?

God, is it finally happening? Are they finally going to just die this time?

They don't even have taped shows beyond the end of this month I think. So we'll find out soon!

Dave's much more optimistic that Dixie will cave and either step aside or take a minority stake. That's the one thing she hasn't ever budged on in this decade plus of misery, I fully believe it's the hill she and TNA die on

The Death of TNA is going to be boring for the last few chapters. There is only so much I can read about a dying company. Something explosive needs to happen for a proper finish.

It's going to be like Dave's book memorial of Vince: 2000 pages of humor and horror (sometimes at the same time), and with an ending that was inevitable for years

I mean, it has been established for a while that TNA didn't really cost much. The only sticking point was Dixie wanted to stay and have majority stock, which is why no sane person stayed pursuing it

Emphasis on sane

I figured it was someone stupid when he outright said they were in wrestling but weren't Russo or Jarrett

*Please note I am not doing the scoops withholding thing*

I was given the company name. I don't want to leak it as I feel bad for the talent. They might be big in their trade but there isn't much of an online or media presence. Someone who I talked to is very pessimistic about it.

Honest question: it's looking like they're getting kicked off their 3rd TV station in 3 years, y/n?

I want to laugh at this really hard, but I want to save hard laughs if this is just the beginning of a bigger fall

This is how you know this stuff isn't a joke. Nobody could come up with stuff like this. It's too actively ridiculous on every level.

Someone someday will read the Death of TNA encyclopedia and not believe a word of it. If this were a movie, I don't think any of us would believe it. Their biggest fan forum doesn't believe it. Hell, after each new development we get a dozen posts here of people not believing it.
