Christ knows what this could possibly be or whether they are related. TNA 'surprises' and 'announcements' are notoriously shit though. Remember Tito Otiz? I guess this will be business related rather than a debut though.

I suspect that they may just be announcing the end and are trying to get it out there before the Observer goes online.

How will they spin "TNA Is Dead" as a good thing?

Not sure but lots of rumour mongers and even sources I trust are saying that this is massive. That's the line being fed by TNA management anyway.

Spoiler
One tweet claims that a TNA wrestler has told him that Jarrett is backstage at the show.

Well
Spoiler
The way GWF works is a lot of promotions under the GWF banner maybe this will be a way to at least keep it alive.

The whole thing is a bit nuts, maybe

Spoiler
JJ believes he can get Spike to give TNA/GFW/whatever the timeslot back if it's seen to be under new management.

Spoiler


Maybe a takeover/merger.

Last time Dixie refused to sell uless she was given a legit role as presedent and a onscreen role to.

With any luck she has accepted that if she wants TNA to live she may have to let it go better it live without her than die with her

Spoiler
Jeff will be in King Of The Mountain at Slammiversary

Spoiler from Bryan Alvarez

Spoiler
Jeff said he is in King of the Mountain on Sunday. He's going to leave on his own terms, unlike last time where he was fired in a backstage pretape. Says it'll be the last time he'll ever walk a TNA aisle, but he's going to win and go out on top.

Jarrett has been Tweeting all day
Quote:
“ Well, stranger things have happened... Not a "done deal", but huge turnaround this morning... Definitely headed in the right direction...”

Quote:
“Well, we've had a pretty interesting morning around the @GFWWrestling office... #StayTuned”



Quote:
“ Things are really coming together for this "deal"... Almost in legal's hands... #StayTuned”


Quote:
“
The deal is in legal's hands... Pretty, no, very excited about this... Here we go... @GFWWrestling #StayTuned”


Quote:
“ Not the 1st time... Certainly will not be the last-- Legalities can/will kill a deal quicker than anything... #NotForLackOfEffort”

It does make me wounder if a merger of some kind was planned but it fell through

Pretty much but I do think it was going to be part of much bigger news what fell through.

I can't see lawlers and a legal team needed for the news we got.

I have also read Jarrett is going into the TNA HOF.

But again he wouldn't need a legal team for that

This mightn't be the end of the announcement. Look at the new X-Division Title.

Yes from what I read it's live in every country that gets TNA.

Pity the event looks crap even for TNA.

They have even cancelled the title matches and moved them to Impact.

TNA is massively more significant than RoH because of its viewership. It's that simple.

Smark anti-TNA attitudes are laughably blinkered. The promotion will be remembered very fondly by its fans. Those fans by and large aren't internet message board crusaders, although they are smarks of a sort. Go to a TNA show in the UK; the atmosphere is great, much more nerdy / alternative and less kiddie than WWE shows. These are the people who will remember TNA. I'm not going to speak for the US because I've never been there - but clearly there are hardcore TNA fans there too.

I maintain that WWE acknowledging wrestlers' TNA runs would make WWE seem more like a proper wrestling promotion and less like a sanitised, controlling corporate brand. Of course, they are a sanitised, controlling corporate brand! So I understand why they behave as they do. But I don't have to like it!

I agree completely on Magnus. I can't put my finger on why he's so dull working solo, but his teaming with Joe was a revelation. I'd love to see them reunite in NXT.
