I guess they used some ovw stuff for the punk DVD

TNA to keep going, but as a combination sports bar/youth hostel.

Just reading some spoilers for a future episode and this sounds particularly interesting....

The Hardys retained the TNA Tag Team Titles over The Decay in a Six Sides of Steel match. Chainsaws and machetes were among the weapons used

Chainsaws and machetes!? Sounds fucking bonkers!!

WWE to buy the company and keep the name TNA but change it to The Network Alternative. A network exclusive show, a bit like what they did with the Cruiserweight Classic.

The twitter rumour currently is that Dixie is selling the library to WWE (and probably the TNA name since they might need that for the copyright reasons of showing the footage) and selling the company (i.e. the Challenge deal, the India deal, Pop TV and the wrestlers contracts etc) to Corgan. So there may not be a TNA anymore, but there will still be a company. Which for me is the best deal possible, because Corgan can start up hopefully without the TNA stink and WWE gets what they want.

 

Dont know how true it is, but enough people are buying it to think there's something to it.

[The Gaffer]

I can't tell if it's fitting or not anymore that the most ill fated company to ever have a shot at making it big could get a perfectly logical, satisfying death. A mental shell of a company still exists and we get the weird wrestlingeyness of TNA stuff on WWE platforms. Cool.

[WyattSheepMask]

It's the best possible scenario all things considered.

This all comes from tweet by Justin LaBar.

He's usually legit, but it just sounds too perfect. Be very shocked if WWE are agreeing to this.

It's mostly the video library, but ... who know?

[Benno]

That story litterally just quotes the LaBar tweet and offers nothing else.

It's move for move The Michael Scott Paper Company.

So according to PWInsider, Dixie had a meeting with the talent on Monday.

She admitted they have been late paying the talent, that's down to TNA being owed money. Seriously.

 

She was shocked the talent was worried about the state of the company (what good business pay the talent late?)

 

Corgan didn't attend the meeting.

 

The meme that started memes. Never forget this guy superimposed in front of Ibrox with the caption "Paul Le Guen values Barry Ferguson and there has not been a falling out."

 

Also that actual press conference with the Iraqi foreign minister I was watching live as the building collapsed around him from bombs.

 

"There is no problem, Baghdad is not under threat."

Bob Ryder says no.

Now I really hope it's true.
