Do we have confirmation that there is indeed a third party propping BFG up?

Amazing that there won't even be that many people to savor this final death because most have forgotten TNA's existence

Until last week I literally thought they were dead

If Dixie's deal with WWE would stop them from being able to run as a wrestling company then Corgan would have grounds to sue since he can argue that they're not serving the best interests of him as a major stockholder. It doesn't matter that he's not the majority.

Given TNA has very little of value left it'd be pretty funny if the state of TN ends up seizing the tape library and rings.

Only part of the tape library though since some of it got sold already

Speaking of that, who was it that bought part of TNA's tape library? They can't possibly plan to do anything with it other than sell to WWE.

Fight Network, which airs TNA in canada and also has a streaming app for old matches and stuff, so they basically wanted it for the same reason the wwe would want it.

It is pretty much established that the TNA name is tarnished as all gently caress, but is there a chance that a Dixie-less TNA run by non-morons could claw it's way back to a semblance of respectability?

Admittedly, the people clamouring to take over from Dixie don't seem to be too much better than her, but seriously, taking Dixies provably toxic presence and stupidity with her, (and other peoples), money away from TNA, could it survive?

Can someone break down the Corgan lawsuit for me because I can't seem to wrap my head around it. I'm guessing it's you agreed to pay me x amount of dollars by so and so date and you didn't.

According to his claims, he made her, Dixie Carter, a loan to prop up the business and pay for tapings, with the collateral for the loan being all of her shares and control over the company. So if he can prove that in court then he can take everything away immediately, and I don't know what his plan after that would be since the company still owes a lot of people money (including him). This is a separate issue from the debts of the company, as I said, because he loaned this directly to Dixie and the company going bankrupt would not void that debt; she'd still have to give him her shares. He's also trying to put a hold on any sales or whatever by Dixie to WWE or anyone else, because he argues that he already de facto owns the company due to this agreement and she legally can't sell anything from TNA. So there's several things at stake here.

Like I said, this is all predicated on her actually having agreed to this in writing. If so, he has a good case.
