dude quit being a mark and look at facts. most them indy companies have problems paying teh guest stars i heard so many shoot interviews of wrestlers saying how some these indy promoters sisnt even pay them what they owe them and etc. fact is tna will go down without spike most them wrestlers gonna wanna walk once tv is gone best believe that.
Plenty of other Indy companies have been around forever with no huge backers...
I'm sure they will be fine
I'm sure they will be fine
you cant compare them.
those companies dont have big names on active roster, they have shows inside of gyms, no type of tv time, and they been at the same level financially since they started. reason why tna is different is bc they being backed by millions and major cable network. so when thats all taken away thats folding.
just like if you get rich and dont invest right lose all your money be on some broke shit now back to where you started thats folding.
just watch i give it five years (maximum) or less and you will be saying me and infamous was right. they on their last straw tahts why spike even loaning them mma fighters to try and bring in ratings.

You do realize Panda Energy owns the company, the name TNA, the name Impact Wrestling, and the tape library right?
Without SpikeTV Panda Energy will fold the company, plain and simple. No two bit Indy promoter is going to pay Panda Energy to purchase the TNA name just to run it as an Indy show.
Why do you act like the current ownership group is just gonna up and keep putting on shows in high school gymnasiums in front of 100 people?
TNA exists right now for one single current reason, the 1.2 cable rating it pulls for SpikeTV on Thursday night, plain and simple. Panda Energy don't give a fuck about wrestling and won't run a two bit Indy promotion in front of 100 people, nobody will pay the seven figures or more it will cost to buy the name to run it as a two bit Indy promotion and at this point I doubt even the WWE would buy the shit just for the tape library.
It's only purpose of existence right now is for SpikeTV because TNA is cheaper for Spike than original programming or the expensive licensing fees it costs to run a popular syndicated show.

I doubt it. Nothing really worth it to pay that much money for. Only thing I think he would be interested in is a few contracts and he can pick those up after they fold anyway.
He would probably love to have the library if TNA was an actual competitor or a ratings success, but TNA never really blew up. I could only see him wanting the library if he signs some of the guys like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and some of the vets like Kurt Angle and Sting and just wants footage for future WWE related products of those guys.
I doubt WWE would buy it for the time slot on Spike either, because WWE had a terrible relationship with Viacom for those few years RAW was on Spike. I know they want a TV slot for NXT right now, but I think Universal holds the cable broadcasting rights for WWE anyway.

With all the roster moves with TNA lately it should be noted that Devon is still with TNA just workin backstage as a road agent. As a long time Dudleys fan it sucks seein Devon retire but its for the best since he was barely wrestling anyways. Will probaly be told otherwise as far as storylines go but you could tell when the MEM guys were kneelin down talkin to Devon after the match they were congratulatin him on a great career. Thank You Devon for all the great memories.
TNA only did a 0.85 rating this week lol SpikeTV is probably not gonna be happy.
Rating For This Week's Impact Down Over 10 Percent, Released Knockout Promotes Live Impact

What rise?
They've never risen above a small niche market for people to see old WWE or WCW guys. Those shitty 1.0 and below ratings only exist for guys like Sting and Kurt Angle. As much talent as AJ Styles and Samoa Joe have they never drew by themselves.
TNA has basically had a steady pulse of mediocrity since it was born, from Jeff Jarrett dominating and being like a damn 8 time champion within just a few years, to Sting always being the biggest storyline they had from 2005 till now. Most people outside of hardcore fans don't watch.
Everything they attempted to do outside of wrestling was mediocre as hell to. That video game they made was one of the worst selling video games in history, it was in bargain bins almost immediately.
They do 15,000 buys for Pay Per View lol that's with Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Sting, Jeff Hardy, Rob Van dam, and all the other people they've had over the years.
The sole purpose of TNA having value to the WWE for something like DVD sales would be for brand recognition, unfortunately TNA doesn't have that brand recognition. TNA's DVD's now don't sell on their own, why would they sell after they die?
I think the only reason Vince would want the library is for footage of his former wrestlers and new wrestlers he might sign like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries etc.
