TNA wouldn't be in half as bad shape as it is right now if they had spent the last 15+ years developing viable tour loops.
I've heard some interesting stories about TNA's house show promotion. Tons of waste like always insisting on bringing in their own rings from Nashville when it would have cost much less to use a local ring with TNA aprons/turnbuckle pads (this when they weren't using the 6-sided ring).

On the other hand Jeff Jarrett screwing around with Kurt Angle's wife was probably beyond their control.
Kurt and Karen had already long since split up. Dixie was angry that Jeff lied to her when she asked, or something.

Meanwhile, this is 100% true, though the formatting was just me loving around:

I think everything was. Full control, right to hire and fire, etc.
My understanding was that the full control might have been the bigger deal breaker than the equity. Meltzer referred to it as Heyman wanting "the Dana White deal." IIRC he didn't ask for a huge percentage either, probably 10% like White.

we live in an era where Twitch broadcasting exists and Anthem is still using the excuse that internet content distribution is hard.
I guess the internet version of The Fight Network (the one that has little to none of their big name content) is doing swimmingly, then...

In fairness, maybe that was his point: They need to be able to have content that they can take everywhere, not just certain countries and certain means of distribution.

She really didn't like the idea of him being able to fire people.
Yeah, with everything we've learned lately, I think it's pretty obvious that the "autonomous executive" part was a bigger issue than the "minority owner" part.

Did I miss why the thread name was changed?

But anyway: Looking at Billy's tweets this week sure makes you wonder about some of the timing, doesn't it?

Why are wrestling promotions so bad at naming characters
Reminder: WWE once had Montel Vontavius Porter and Marcus Cor Von AT THE SAME TIME.

I HAVE SOME TNA NEWS!

That "don't file a change of address so creditors can't find us" thing sure is working out well: http://www.sescoops.com/american-express-moves-for-judge-to-rule-against-tna-by-default-in-debt-case/

Actually, that's the current & correct address of Impact Ventures, which is what the company goes by now. The debt was taken out by TNA Entertainment, which became inactive in June.


The principal office address was their old office address before they moved.

If Bix is still around, maybe he could tell us why TNA Entertainment LLC is different from Impact Ventures LLC & why they're both different from Aroluxe Media LLC, which took the assumed name of "TNA" in May, then cancelled it in August?
TNA Entertainment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Impact Ventures. So it's the same thing.
