The jury's out, the result is in.
So is Corgan going to step away from TNA now or is he going to stick around? It might be too early to say at this point I guess.
TNA just lost their UK TV deal.
Maybe they negotiate a deal with QVC.
So TNA issued a statement essentially blaming spoilers due to the fact that it airs on a Sunday here and they will have a new broadcaster that will air it closer to to the US air date. I'm calling bollocks on that for a couple of reasons. 1)Given hos far in advance they tape tv anyone can get the spoilers anyway if they want. 2)Other than TNA Challenge airs re-runs of 80's/90's quiz and game shows, I really think they wouldn't have minded moving the night of Impact if that's what TNA wanted.
It's really fucking depressing that every time there's a glimmer of hope, another big wrench gets thrown at TNA. Been going on for a couple months now and it's really depressing. Nobody wants that many guys to lose their jobs. And TNA is really turning a corner quality-wise lately too.
If Dixie truly gave a fuck about the company, she would relinquish control to Billy Corgan.
I wonder what goes on in that vapid melon of hers... no one can be that oblivious.
They have to spin any news into good news, but you're right. People don't post spoilers when the show airs in the US, they post them when they tape it.Originally Posted by Peter Griffin
Toronto, Canada (November 3, 2016) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. and Impact Ventures, parent company of TNA Impact Wrestling, today announced that Anthem has provided a credit facility to TNA to fund operations.
Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. is a global sports media company that operates Fight Network, Impact Wrestling’s exclusive broadcaster in Canada, as well as the exclusive worldwide digital streaming partner for all TNA programming. It is also an equity stakeholder of Impact Ventures.
The agreement includes the appointment of Anthem Executive Vice President Ed Nordholm to the Impact Ventures Board of Managers. The company will be managed by the Board with Mr. Nordholm representing the Board on all major operating and restructuring decisions. Dixie Carter will continue as Chair of the Company, as well as her position on the Board of Managers. Billy Corgan is no longer with the company.
“We have had a successful, long-term partnership with Fight Network as our Canadian broadcaster, and more recently as our global digital partner,” said Dixie Carter. “Anthem’s team has extensive media experience, and I am excited to have that available to us as we plan for the future.”
“We have consistently maintained that investing in content as we grow our distribution is important as a strategic necessity, and working more closely with a strong brand like TNA is in line with that. This financing is an extension of the support we have been providing since the beginning of the year,” said Leonard Asper, CEO of Anthem. “There are tremendous opportunities to support the company’s growth on all platforms and in all media along side Dixie and the incredible talent and staff at TNA.”
As per Corgan tweets:
FACT: TNA was supposed to pay me 2 days ago, which they swore to in front of a judge. Yesterday they asked for a day to 'get $ together'
Upon which, (yesterday or today) they'd 'reach out directly' to settle ALL claims. So they lied again and have used the time as a weapon
FACT: I have still not been paid, and I'm exploring all remedies including new filings with court and converting to 36 pct. equity
I think I was reading that John Bennett and Maria were upset that Corgan was ousted.
From the sound of other wrestlers I'm sure more will be upset as he was said to be very well liked, creative, just a good dude to be around. But again, you go to TNA, in the situation they've been in for the last fuck I don't know, 4-5 years and this shit happens and you act surprised? Then you're either a mark or just stupid. Or both.
Is it wrong of me to say TNA deserves to go down in flames now? Especially since Corgan didn't get the Company and the Wrestlers continue to put up with Dixie.
I'd rather it be deleted.
I see what you did there.
I just can't take someone serious who calls TNA a "strong" brand.
The off-air TNA stuff is more interesting than what happens on TV lately. I'm disappointed Corgan's involvement is being derailed, the last few months have been noticeably better. I feel like we're heading to a murder-suicide story in the near future.
just waiting on the first big name to walk out now......................... do they have any big names left
TNA are dying the slowest death. I guess fair play to them, cause theyve been on the cusp of extinction for about 4 years now but surely they can't have much left in the tank at this point.
Feel so bad for the roster. Corgan sounds like someone who legit wants to help them.
Bennett and Maria are probably gonna be quick to head out. Cody is not exclusive to them. I wonder if Aron Rex has a deal that allows him an easy out.
If I had to guess I would say Jeff Hardy would be on his way out at the beginning of next year. He's said he has wanted a return to WWE.

Corgan wants to sell his stake to WWE!
TNA seriously fucked with the wrong guy.
I seem to think both the Hardy's deals are up next year and I'd assume Reby's deal ties in with Matt. I cannot see how TNA could really afford to keep both guys unless they get an cash injection. The Hardys could fairly much name their terms for Indy dates and would be in demand for conventions as well as their out of ring interests. I could see them possibly going to the WWE on a short term deal but I don't think either would want to work a full time WWE schedule. Matt seems to have a good family life and has said he's fairly well set and a full time WWE deal would be a risk for Jeff given his style of wrestling and the addiction issues he's had in the past. Jeff seems to be in a good place at the moment and like Matt has a young family so working a full WWE schedule wouldn't be on his list of priorities.
I'm sure the WWE would look to do a deal as Jeff in particular sells a load of merchandise and if Matt has copyrighted the Broken Matt Hardy brand then that would be something the WWE could have fun with.
I would love to see the Hardyz back in the WWE. Not only as a tag team, but singles guys as well.
I think it would be cool to see them invade the WWE and be able to keep doing that gimmick. They don't have to do all that weird shit from the compound all the time or anything but do some kind of invasion angle. Do the Sabu/Undertaker where the lights go out and when they come back on, there's Matt standing in the middle of the ring and he cuts a Broken promo. Then have Jeff show up to save Matt from a beatdown and watch the place erupt.
The Hardys working against Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper would be fun , the promos would be great especially if Matt was given some sort of freedom on his promos. Jeff vs AJ would be an obvious feud too.
Random post....
I forgot about RVD's X Division title reign.
More random posting....
I miss the stage of time where this thread was discussing the women of TNA.
I was trying to keep it that way but of course we had to have people derail it with legal jibber jabber.
I always wondered how I'd do in the bedroom against her:
I'd gladly take her from behind and drain one on her back. She's got a good, thick body (like a really skanky Natalya Neidhart) but she's a total butterface, bag job.I was trying to keep it that way but of course we had to have people derail it with legal jibber jabber.
I always wondered how I'd do in the bedroom against her:
Fucking hell
The only way you'll see Matt back in WWE is to do the jobsolete.........
I'm a big fan of Sienna aka Allysin Kay:
Me too Nash. I've actually met her a few times at Shine Wrestling in Tampa, and she's cool as hell in real life too. Makes me like her more.
Josh Matthews: Al Snow is trending worldwide on Twitter right now
This is a weird show
#JoshMatthewsIsAMassiveCunt should be trending worldwide.Josh Matthews: Al Snow is trending worldwide on Twitter right now
What the fuck is a Trevor Lee
I thought you were all about TNA SOF?
Thoughts on TNA's Roxxi?
*She looks like Nate Diaz in this one above*
I was never really a fan of her work but I know a lot of people liked her especially when she was all about being hardcore.
cewshcast made him famous
I havent watched it in a good while hence me not posting in here for a while. I worked on the basis of not posting about it if I wasn't watching it....unlike a few in this thread
Hey now, I already said I watch it occasionally, no need to be salty, besides most of it is about their questionable business practice now days.
I have watched it in full these past three weeks, but I couldn't tell you the last time that happened. The behind the scenes stuff has driven most of the conversation about TNA lately and has not helped their image (which wasn't good anyway). Honestly the show these past three weeks hasn't been half bad, I just think it is all a bit too little, too late.
The first change that I would make would be to change the announce team, but it is not like that would bring in thousands of viewers and change TNA's luck.
For those who don't follow ROH, Broken Matt appeared in a video at Final battle last night, challenging the Bucks of Youth. According to Meltzer, the match will happen Wrestlemania weekend.
Fucking yeaaah. I hope both sets of tag belts are on the line.

video of hardy on ROH
The hardy stuff is still fun.
In a way the factions and teams and stuff feel proper cheesey wrestling. Decay etc are interesting the new storm stuff is good. They do keep letting themselves down a little with finishing touches or seemingly planning or building to things
Really looking forward to this. They did a match earlier this year when Matt was just getting in the Broken Hardy gimmick and Jeff wasn't broken yet. It took place in Chile. Unfortunately the video that was shot is not the best quality so I'm glad they're going at it again in ROH.
Broken Matt's return to impact after losing his memory
Total Nonstop Deletion announcement segment. Awesome.

What's this tag team thing Borash is talking about.
So Hyped for this.
EXCITED FOR DELETION
I'm only five minutes in and it's insane already.
Caziest thing I've ever seen
I cant wait to watch this on sunday!
TAPS AFF!
I won't spoil anything but Josh Matthews says they're going to a break during a title match and the break is literally 10+ minutes of Matt insanity then they just return to the match without mentioning it
i dont know exactly what this thing is they're doing tonight but it sounds like its worth watching
What on earth did I just watch. Very entertaining whatever it was.
King Maxel is the best
ricky and Robert! Yeah baby!
I want to comment, but I don't want to spoil anything.
KICK HER ASS VANGUARD ONE
I have no idea what I'm watching
Itchweed puts a Sleeper hold on his opponent, but puts himself to sleep
Thats itchweeed with 3 e's!!
My bad
This title match has been good
It really picked up after the first commercial break.

Are the Decay just destroying Jobbers?
This is seriously incredible
WTF, Lashley and Edwards are still fighting?!
Fucking ANIMAL!!
Lmao HHH dig literally
Greatest pregnancy announcement ever
Great as usual. Is there anyone out there who can dethrone House Hardy?
Crazy how all of wrestling has come to be centered around tag teams and factions in 2016. House Hardy, Young Bucks/Elite/Bullet Club, and New Day.
JeriKO, Bray and Randall...
That was all great fun, like all of you, I'm kinda overwhelmed, speechless...lol...
except for OBD.
I ODB'd on her slutty party girl act years ago. You'd think she would get a new 'dress' or shirt, whatever that top is, which could cover her bottom. It's rather hilarious watching her. My wife was in stiches as we watched while my daughter just shook her head....
So, I saw the first one of these. And I plan on catching this on Sunday.
Do I need to catch any of what's happened in-between?
Yes. What was the last thing you saw? Just Final Deletion?
The whole playlist is here with the weekly stuff as well as the big stuff. I can do a write-up too.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...K4gbWV8fKkOoVj
Loved this.
Thank you. I've only seen Final Deletion, yes. I've got nothing on tonight, so this be it.
So 30 seconds in were you guys also convinced that this was better than any WrestleMania in the last 15 years like Josh Matthews said?
No. Not even the bad ones
I was pretty fucking disappointed with the list of teams.
I was on/off watching this thing. As chaotic and ridiculous as it was I liked the previous "delete" matches/events better than this.
Was everything at the Hardy's place including the Lashley, ODB matches etc? And besides RnR Express, was there anyone recognizable involved?
It was all done down there to my knowledge.
So far really the only GREAT thing I'm hearing about is Matt Hardy's line toward Triple H about burying young talent. I just hope Triple H gets the joke.
Animal and Hornswaggle
Honestly this was the most ludicrous thing I have ever seen, arguing with a remote control vehicle thing? Maxel beating Rockstar Spud? Even if Benjamin used a taser it's still stupid.....the whole thing came off as a bad BAD tv show.
That was the best Impact ever.
And thensome lol
While WWE consistently churns out just bad wrestling on a weekly basis.
You complain, complain, complain, yet you watch.
You should follow Raw threads every Monday
I laughed....it's literally bad comedy and I cant get enough of it. Lashley/Eddie kept on going and going and going.
The ref arguing with the drone was fantastic! So was the drone's hologram count.
How could someone not love Vanguard 1?
This was my only disappointment. I was hoping for a couple more teams from Time and Space.
If there's one criticism I can make, it has to do with the length. I thought it was just a tad too long and dragged a little bit in some places. Had they cut maybe 5 - 10 min. out and tightened it up, I think it would have been even better than it already was.
