State of TNA + Impact + PPV + Other Guff!

It was reported a couple of months back, TNA had moved their offices into the buildings basement to save money. They've now cut deeper and moved their offices into the merchandise warehouse. Supposedly they didn't pay the rent.

Also the Impact replay which use to air later after Impact has now been cancelled.

I saw on tv that Impact replay was being moved to saturday night? i'm not even sure i heard that right either.

Should all band together and get a 4W advert put on during Impact   😆

Funny though, they really need someone in charge who knows what they're doing. Or someone in charge who will employ people who know what they're doing.

Yeah! we could maybe get the other 3 people who watch TNA here. 🙂

According to reports, TNA are out of money - as in their bank account is empty. They're looking at new ways of getting some funds in, from sponsorships to someone buying them out. Best thing would be someone buying them out, Dixie has to go.

Oh, and that's actually not a bad idea Sen. Wonder how much it'd cost.

They should just give up. Flogging a dead horse at this point.

The crazy story I've heard on PWInsider is that there is a marketing company called Aroluxe that have been funding the Impact tapings since January. Ron & Don Harris are a part of this Aroluxe company.

TNA should be paying back all the funding to Aroluxe but if they don't, Aroluxe become the majority shareholders of TNA. A pair of Neo-Nazi skinheads running the company, that's the image overhaul TNA needs!

Quote from Dave Meltzer on the Observer Radio show yesterday: "They clearly need to make a deal to get some money in, because they don't have any money. That's been obvious for a while ... Financially, it's really bad. You wouldn't believe how bad it is. When I say they're out of money - they're out of money."

TNA put up an in memoriam screen graphic for Chyna at the start of this weeks Impact. Of course, it wouldn't be TNA if they didn't fuck something up. They got her birth year wrong.

Rumors going around that Sinclair broadcasting  wants to buy TNA, they also own ROH

The vag part was hilarious. Didn't think I'd ever hear something like that during a wrestling match. And that finish was just awful - there's no other way to describe it.

I saw a report this morning where it was talking about the potential buy out of TNA, where the sticking point on anything is that Dixie is demanding to remain in charge of TNA. Doubt they'll be brought out any time soon then... she's one of the main problems. You'd be stupid to put your money into the company and keep her in charge.

On Saturday it was announced that TNA will be holding more TV tapings in June, and that their Saturday morning replay has been cancelled by Pop TV. The news comes amid reports that TNA is having trouble paying their staff. PWTorch.com reports that TNA is currently behind on pay with their production crew, with some workers being owed money from as far back as March and January.

There were several reports of late pay in the last year, including the company reportedly owing Bobby Roode and Eric Young over six-figures. There's belief within the company that Aroluxe Marketing has been loaning TNA money so they could continue taping Impact Wrestling. PWTorch.com claims some TNA production staff have been told they will be replaced at next month's taping.

Dixie Carter is still currently looking for an investor so she can remain in control of the company. As reported earlier this month there are three possible investors who would all want to take control of the company from Dixie. TNA moving their offices into the ShopTNA warehouse in a cost-cutting move may look good in an investor presentation, but workers leaving without being paid would not.

TNA's recent contract re-signings are believed to have been done to impress potential investors. As noted earlier this month Dave Meltzer reported that TNA had asked their talent to tweet about how backstage morale is fine, in order to combat stories online. Meltzer says one TNA talent told him morale is "the worst ever" for people who've been with the company a long time.

Decided to just bold the important parts. They really need to sell fast. No more investors, just a sell and restructure the business with new owners. I mean seriously, how can one person hang on to the company for so long, and continue to want to hold onto it, when they are clearly running it into the ground? They've had so many chances and investors giving them money and they always seem to end up in the same spot - which points to a problem in management. Stop looking for investors and just look to sell completely. Would be nice to see them do well and actually give WWE some serious competition. Even RoH have far surpassed TNA in being a rival to WWE.

I see a floundering company with a floundering creative team who have no direction what so ever. And no one in a position within the company to really do anything about it as those that potentially could are stuck trying to sort out money issues....
