Sometimes the spookiest thing isn't death...it's life. And that's the case here

Yep, October 1st, BFG just about here, and this company will see at least one more day. Against all odds

Bound for Glory card:

Lashley defends the world title against EC3!
Decay defend the tag titles against the Broken Hardys in the Great War!
Aron Rex fights Drew GallowayEddie Edwards for the KOTMLegendsTVGlobalGrand championship! (Galloway's hurt)
Moose vs Bennett!
Maria defends the Knockouts title against Gail Kim!
BFG Gauntlet! Tyrus, Robbie E, Godderz, Dax, Grado, Shera, Spud, Sutter, Drake, Baraka! Winner gets a title match of their choice any time they want!
Also Gail Kim inducted in the Hall!
And Cody R!

Will this company ever die? Doubtful! Will people ever be paid on time while the company "survives"? Definitely not!

Some things just can't be deleted

Probably not Eric because he hates tna, might well still be suing them and is talking about suing Matt Hardy.

Not Hulka because spending his own money on something isn't his style, brother.

If we're doing predictions, I'm going with nobody, and the company's continued operation is some kind of bizarre legal and economic oversight.

Matt did a shoot with RF video recently, where the trailer revealed he said some not nice things about Bischoff and Hogan and how they hosed over TNA. Eric took particular offense to Matt saying he had "raped [and pillaged] TNA" and went straight to his lawyer. The trailer got taken down and Eric made some comments about his lawyer being involved on twitter which led to Reby ripping into him by quoting bits of "controversy creates cash" at him and calling him a hypocrite.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Hogan was basically broke before the Gawker lawsuit and I think that's still under appeal so he probably doesn't have the cash on hand to help TNA.

Hogan's net worth is estimated at around 8 million but I suspect he hasn't been paid anything yet from the Gawker lawsuit, so him being the mystery investor is doubtful.

It's more likely it was Dixie's parents.

He'd probably get bored with the product after realizing there were fewer wrestlers to out than he would have thought.

Let's also reflect on the fact that Okada and now Sanada were humbled by TNA jobberdom before their big pushes.

With TNA dead, NJPW's well of future aces of run dry and it's living on borrowed time

My favorite part of that whole saga is that (at least with Okada) New Japan knew what they had and knew TNA would treat him like poo poo so they let him go to give him some humility. And TNA somehow had no idea Okada was good.
