TNA Asylum upon receiving the news.quote:If this happened last week? Dixie sure doesn't seem to worried as she's still in character on twitter. You would think if this is true she'd come out of character and say something. People need to chill. If she ain't worried I'm not worried. quote:This is such bullshit. I hope TNA finds a better network, one that will actually loving promote them instead of using them as lead ins for worse shows. People like Cornette who have no future with wrestling are celebrating... like seriously? Wtf... How classless can you be? The dirt sheets and the IWC will pounce and spin this in a negative light because thats what WWE has programmed them to do. Hate TNA for trying new things, Hate TNA for being passionate about PRO WRESTLING, not Entertainment, hate TNA for their uncontested fan interaction, hate TNA because they actually care. Its the most backasswards poo poo Ive ever seen. quote:URGH! I DON'T WANT THE IWC TO WIN. gently caress THEM FOR CELEBRATING THIS NEWS. IF TNA GOES DOWN, THEN I HOPE WWE GOES DOWN WITH THEM. I BE drat TO SIT HERE AND WATCH A BUNCH OF FUCKS ON THE INTERNET MASTURBATING TO THIS NEWS. Then fantasy begins: quote:Lot of people talking about the possibility of TNA being on Netflix. quote:More people would know about it. Netflix has a larger audience and would gain them greater exposure and more casual interests. quote:It feels like WCW in 2001 all over again. quote:I still think they already have an idea of their options if they didn't I think they would of already renewed with spike awhile ago. What be the point of sign wrestlers to new deals if they had now idea about their tv contract.

TNA should go on @WWENetwork TNA has 1.4 million viewers. That would give WWE network over 2 million subscribers at the very least.

quote:Lot of people talking about the possibility of TNA being on Netflix. Arrested Development. House of Cards. Orange is the New Black. Impact Wrestling. Sure, that's not at all a crazy series of dots for "lots of people" to connect. I'm generally a pretty chill and optimistic kind of guy about my entertainment but holy poo poo, these guys are out of their goddamned minds. Does Stockholm syndrome apply to this situation?

Crossposting from the TNA thread, this is one of my favorite comments from last night, on the Wresting Inc. article about Impact's cancellation:quote:If TNA doesn't get a TV deal at all, then I personally blame WWE for paying Spike not to get them a deal because We know, Spike knows, and WWE knows that TNA was on a roll. Now, if TNA gets a deal then the best deal for TNA now is if they got a deal with Fox Sports because well, they had a deal before when they had six sides and now it's 2014, they have the six sides. Hopefully, you guys who wanted TNA out of business will finally realize that WWE will probably be just as bad as TNA was in 2010 - 2013...

The dissonance required to think that WWE gives enough of a poo poo about TNA to pay another network real cash money to not renew TNA's contract is incredible.

Dixie Carter claims negotiations with Spike are ongoing, no really, no really really, no really really really. TNAsyslum rejoices. Sort of: quote:In what freaking world is some "report" from TMZ and some crappy "Wrestling news sites" that was more than likely copy and pasted from TMZ more reliable than Dixie Carter herself? Not just Dixie though, Bob Ryder who has the respect of A LOT of people who do not like Dixie! quote:GOD drat IT TMZ!!!! FACT CHECK YOU TWATS! I'm inclined to believe Bob Ryder, Dixie Carter and the others in TNA now saying that its not true... For the love of gently caress I know you hire "journalists" just outta mc.donalds but christ sakes its not a hard thing to double or triple check your sources

Skinty McEdger posted:There was one I nearly copy pasted but it was so long and boring but for the line "Why would someone like Dixie lie? It would only hurt her in the end" I'll say this for TNA and Dixie -- they know their core audience like these people here. They'll believe anything she says and presume that TNA is a rational actor in this whole thing, despite their decade of bad decision-making that any company without a river of oil money would've died on years ago.

More Mecca: quote:IT is really sad that people put more faith in garbage made up by TMZ to get hits than what the President of a company is telling them. When was the last time Vince McMahon acknowledged anything on twitter concerning WWE TV deals? Never. Some people are just assholes and I believe part of this goes to Dave Meltzer and I will tell you why. He constantly feeds this anti-TNA hate and he never call his fans out on this garbage. A REAL reporter can and does admit to when they are wrong. Meltzer is not a reporter, he is a gossip columnist and it is really sad that people blindly follow him.

Speaking of delusional fans, back at TNAMecca.quote:I dont even want to be on the internet anymore. There cant possibly be this many people who are so narrow minded and ignorant... its just baffling how people can celebrate the fall of a international company that broadcasts to millions around the world. This is more about TNA vs WWE, this is about people losing their jobs, its about taking food off the table of many familes, its about the dedication, blood, sweat, and tears of guys like Jeremy Borash, kids who admire certain stars, who wish to grow up to be them not having the chance to watch their favs anymore or have that dream of being a TNA star, its about the fans like most of us who have stuck with TNA through the years, the ups (1.7 million viewers stretch) and the downs (Hogan era), So many people turned to TNA because of how lovely wrestling had become with a monopoly and if TNA is truely gone I hope the dirt sheets, who will lose hits and revenue due to not having that BS Morale story anymore, get hit hard with the realization that TNA was GOOD for wrestling, that TNA WAS an alternative, and that TNA actually gave a poo poo about making wrestling what it once was instead of running it to the ground like the other company. I hope it hits every single negative piece of poo poo hard and when WWE finally reaches below 2 mill like theyve been teetering for a while now, they will have nobody to blame but themselves for being loving morons instead of giving a superior product a chance quote:Do you honestly think Dixie Carter and co have not explored where to take the company going forward? No businessperson worth their salt doesn't have a strategy to sustain and grow their business. quote:It's true that TNA does need to do some damage control and stand up for itself today. Like Brett, I think they will tonight during RAW. It's all about timing. The trolls and anti-group will talk and talk and talk today and then by morning they'll have to eat crow like a motherfucker. Troll on trolls, you pathetic fucks. quote:A quiet Dixie Carter is a sneaky Dixie Carter and I am wondering what she has up her sleeve? quote:These "HOORAY TNA IS DEAD!" people are really getting on my nerves. Such immaturity. I stand by my statement that TNA leaving Spike is the best thing for them. 10 years stuck on a network that wouldn't promote them and TNA gave them a show with over a million viewers each week. Spike kept TNA in purgatory. Also the mod name dropped Rovert earlier as a known anti-TNA troll. Then deleted his statement.
