PWInsider saying TNA's moving their company HQ next month from the Cummins Station office to the warehouse they use for ShopTNA.com

From early February in the Observer:

quote:

- TNA has done a cost cutting move with their office. They used to have the staff on the third floor and a TV studio in the basement, now they've just moved their staff into the basement with the TV studio.

Meltzer said today TNA is strapped for cash and they got evicted from their old offices.

A lot of the looking for new investors activity is being primarily done out of trying to make the booking fee for the IMPACT zone and airfare for the talent for the next TV taping.

They're done this time. They have no additional revenue streams, and even getting investment to keep them going for another taping or two is just putting off the inevitable now.

There were several news stories about BUSINESS PLANS and BUSINESS MEETINGS about potential advertising, licensing, merchandising deals with TNA utilizing agencies and Josh Matthews. Obviously those have come to nothing. Sean Ross Sapp of WrestlingInc keeps bring up a story he heard from a third party about their meeting with TNA and just how bad a negotiator Josh was. Which isn't a surprise as he comes across as a total douche on TV, social media and how he dresses.

Sounds familiar:

quote:

PWTorch obtained the following ad sales information capturing Pop’s business position.

The March 29 TNA Impact generated $18,414 in ad revenue, which was less than half of its “Days of Our Lives” lead-in. Impact also generated less money for a 30-second ad than an acquired movie.

TNA Impact First-Run Airing Revenue: $18,414
Avg. unit cost for a 30-second ad: $335
Days of Our Lives lead-in Revenue: $44,135
Avg. unit cost for 30-second ad: $1,100-1,250
“You’ve Got Mail” acquired movie 30-second ad: $406

Isn't TNA's deal mostly based on ad revenue sharing?

There's always debate about that. But most people operate under the belief there's a 50/50 split.

Meltzer said this morning that the identity of the new crop of TNA investors should come out in the next few days. There's no deal currently finalized.

Even though they haven't signed a deal yet, these people are bank rolling the next set of tapings.

The source of the Harris news was the same person as the Dixie DA email gaff story.

So I am taking Harris Bros/TNA as true. It isn't darts on a dartboard speculation.

So I'm at work right now and Twitter is blocked, meaning I couldn't read your earlier post. Before this post, all I could do was read the responses and think, "What is everyone reacting to...? What could it possibly-- oh no. You can't be serious. No. Of course it's for real."

This company. Just when you think there's no more blood in the stone.

If you listen to the start of Wrestling Observer Live and Melter's segment on Live Audio Wrestling the hints given point to the Harris Bros.

I am amazed and bemused by it all too.

*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.

In the 1980s the Harris were bodyguards/roadies of Country music act Sawyer Brown.

Sawyer Brown played on WWE PPV with Jeff Jarrett in 1998 too.

Had a funny few hours last month on March 17th trying to confirm a wild rumour that Sinclair Broadcasting Group was interested in TNA. I asked around and couldn't get any confirmation. Meltzer on the LAW hinted at something similar last Sunday:

https://twitter.com/SoDuTw/status/725090962607882241

Following up with person who originally told me apparently the first time around TNA offered a very low percentage of ownership but the second time around (now) they made a real offer.

Treat this as hearsay and hold off the fantasy booking until Meltzer or Mike Johnson say more. But the international contracts TNA have might be worth it for Sinclair.
