 TNA might be dying. It's being reported that Spike TV is cancelling TNA and it is expected that will kill the company. For the past 12 years TNA has been a horrible company and its President Dixie Carter has been a horrible, horrible person. Dixie Carter: Told Jesse Sorensen he would have a job for life and told his mother he was "our son" at his hospital bed. He was fired last year. TNA did not pay his medical bills despite promises they would and his mother went into bankruptcy because of it. When Kurt Angle signed she said he would never have to wrestle injured and his health was their #1 concern. In January 2007 he suffered a concussion and then wrestled the next day. Put up an actual $1,000,000 because she thought DX would accept VKM's challenge. Only took action on Matt Hardy's substance abuse issues because the news broke in front of her parents and it was embarrassing. Described her fanbase the following way to Congress: quote:Well, collectibles are a much older demographic. I mean, they are probably -- I mean, they are more grown men. I mean, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even. Have you seen the 40-Year-Old Virgin with that man that has all the toys? I 16 mean, that is kind of -- that's our audience. Decided to give the TNA roster this speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn13PwaRQ6s Reportedly kept the tags on her clothing around the TNA Knockouts so they would see how rich she is. Was personally responsible for keeping Vince Russo employed for years, and likely is the reason he was brought back. Reportedly said she'd fire other people if she heard more "Fire Russo" chants. Hired Pacman Jones and tried to promote he was a great athlete, team player and reformed individual after his "Make it Rain" stunt left a former wrestler paralyzed. Got suspended from twitter for using a fake verified checkmark. Dixie's testimony to Congress which contains some blatant lies: http://oversight-archive.waxman.house.gov/documents/20081231140812.pdf TNA as a company: Had to settle out of court because of racial discrimination claims by Konnan. Had to settle out of court due to refusing to pay Daffney's medical bills despite their promise to pay. Would pay white male wrestlers medical bills, which got them into trouble in the Konnan suit because of similar issues not paying Ron Killing's medical bills. Would sometimes pay medical bills but take the cost out of wrestlers salaries. Drug tested once in 2007. Here are the results: http://oversight-archive.waxman.house.gov/documents/20081231141013.pdf They never tested again. Began prominently featuring chairshots to the head in 2010. Did not punish Jeff Hardy for showing up to a December 2010 PPV in no condition to perform, then this happened at Victory Road 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V6ulxTRSDc Paid the Knockouts so little that Taylor Wilde had to work at Sunglasses Hut while champion. Multiple wrestlers needed odd jobs to make ends meet. They told Jessie Neal to relocate on his own dime to OVW, he refused, now works at Walmart and makes more than he did in TNA. Allowed a Harris brother on PPV with a white supremacist t-shirt. Promoted the most homophobic, racist, misogynistic garbage for years and years. This for example was a mildly homophobic thing that happened on their PPVs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAOPhWzfiN0 Not Scummy but Funny: #August10WarningRevealed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRAdWcfpM_Y Midget masturbating in trashcan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6waZuFo5wo Abyss kills Ric Flair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIDkZ_iLxL8 Horrible striptease segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg0ZacjA5yY Hogan quits TNA as Dixie begs him to stay thanks to his creative control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWrtGa6bFz0 How did I forget SLAVERY? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lggf4uBYLsg and of course another good example of how Russo-centric this promotion always was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaTAIgMl0MI Here's a history video of the first six months of TNA history I posted just before this news broke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhE1d1J4xhc Now post your own favorite TNA videos/pictures/stories!

HulkaMatt posted:Don't forget they didn't punish any of those people in that drug test! It would actually be super scummy to punish drug failures on a baseline test. In theory you are testing people to see who is on what, then test again to see if people are getting off, that's when you start punishing. TNA just tested to find out if people were on drugs and said "Sure, keep doing that."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5GPmeVVAAg Did TNA ever air footage of the time Abyss and some others showed up on the set of a WWE production and brought balloons and cookies? I know they taped it and IIRC Konnan says they got footage of Rey without his mask.

Samoa Joe was kidnapped in a ninja van. He returned without explanation because Russo needed another babyface for the pivotal TV match Team Hogan (Abyss, Jeff Jarrett and Rob Terry) vs. Team Flair (Sting, Desmond Wolfe, Robert Roode and James Storm). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMk0JmlGr6c

TNA had an episode with only 5 minutes of wrestling or something, so I made a price is right type game out of predicting the amount of wrestling will be on certain episodes. I just like that Red posted the thread having not watched wrestling ever.

This wasn't the first time TNA was shamed into lying about Russo. The Jarretts lied to Wade Keller and others when the company was starting up. Vince Russo is treated like a drug addiction.

Not only are a bunch of people gonna lose their jobs, but Dixie will learn absolutely nothing from all this. She's a 50-year-old princess who's never been told 'no' at any stage of her life. The only person more upset than the wrestlers right now is Daddy Warbucks Carter because now he has to find a new money pit toy for her to gently caress up.

I wonder if Bob Carter regrets not selling TNA last year with all the money he's lost since then and it only kept Dixie busy/happy for that period of time.
