Your impression of Dixie is perfect

It's funny how any time people lay out the failures of TNA they are accused of being part of some shady cabal who are trying to talk them down and yet it's clear to everyone that the story of TNA for the last 5 years has been one of dwindling decline. Even if they manage to limp on with Destination America (with even less money in all likelihood) they'll be in such a shambolic state that there's really no other reason outside of Dixie's pride for it to continue. They're a husk of a company.

It just further facilitates their piss poor management. People just expect the crap that happens to them now so they get away with it. Always someone else's fault. Maybe it's pity?

The only reason to pity Dixie Carter is if you believe that she just can't help herself. But she's no innocent bystander and I think all the stuff about how nice and lovely she is is naive.

At least we've given them another reason to point out people who want to see TNA fail. Well, fail more than they already are.

Isn't it bad that TNA's current position isn't actually as low as it can go. I mean, the bar is set pretty low anyway.

I don't actually know how it's feasible for them to limp on even with a lesser TV deal. Who can they even afford to employ?

Is this thread failing in its at least 3 year effort to get rid of TNA yet again?
I think it's more to do with the fact that the wrestling business is in the shitter right now. You have a kiddy show with the WWE and their brand of fake fighting, TNA isn't doing much to light the world on fire with theirs. Just not an exciting time to be a wrestling fan just now and I don't think there is any real bad feeling from anyone on here.


You could take a look at the people posting here at the start of this thread and see how many are left. You could do the same with the WWE, the number of posters that still post in other parts of the forum but avoid the WWE one like the plague. What's left is what's left and i think in this thread it's just giving them another way to talk about wrestling until they decide it's not worth the time anymore and move on and stop worrying about wrestling like many others on this forum have and just kept away from the threads.

MuSt be international deals. They must have some sort of deal, it goes against all history and better judgement but I really don't want to believe they are without a TV deal and haven't told their talent yet (which Angle basically confirmed he hasn't been told of any deal).

It's being reported now the Hardys are potential WWE returnees and Angle is confirmed to be gone, two big names potentially gone, and a third we know to be happening for sure, in the next six months. So that should free up some money at least.

Whats so great about EC3? He seems a mid mediocre in the ring and wasent entertained by his matches at all. TNA must be really scrapping at the barrel if hes Champion.
he is brilliant. if he was in NXT more people would be loving him is my guess

great look,great mannerisms,promo skills top notch and good in ring. i hope wwe pick him up one day.

it was ok...
it had 2 jobs to fill... build to next weeks "all or nothing show" and to tread water with those not in that storyline.

the lack of "tv filming" shows but listing episodes in october on DA is a great way of trying not to "give the result away"

the other important thing to note is they are also building to a proper ppv show... so i really doubt all or nothing will be a "full result" show.... unless the ppv will be their wcw greed with no "big bang" to follow.

it is looking like a shoe string show though... they cant even be bothered to film a bit of MH following EC3 in a 7-11 somewhere as a match filler video....

I'm not arguing whether or not TNA isn't as good as it used to be (it isn't) I just don't see the need for the endless negative posts about it, like its some posters personal ambition and obsession to see the end of TNA, I mean like I said in my earlier post people have claimed TNA is doomed and then disappointed its not for at least the 3 years I've been reading this thread. Until its too awful to watch I will stay for the bitter end, Incidentally this will be the 2nd time running since I was watching WCW on Channel 5 when that suddenly ended as well heh.

As the looking at people who were here at the start of the surely that happens with every thread over time, not to mention maybe some were driven away by the negativity I mean some people find it depressing seeing bad things about things they like, its possibly only because I'm so stubborn that I'm still here.

I hope GFW does well and Jarrett has learned from his mistakes.

Without Dippy Dixie in charge it should be good.

Hell if she sold TNA it could be enough to save it as she is 90% of the problem.

Earl Hebner has been announced as the next inductee into the TNA Hall Of Fame. Will be inducted next month.

Give me something to be positive about and I'll be positive lol. That Dixie has an obsession will ballsing up is her issue.

Dunno how significant this is? But a step in the right direction nevertheless.

It's not overly good news, they've basically just got a production company now which is surely going to cost more than in house production, but it's a step in the right direction.

Now they need to get somebody to actually air the television programme they have already started filming

I hope that Challenge gets the rights, as more wrestling on the TV the better I say.

If TNA does die and Jarrett buys it back the TV deals may go with it so GFW can take it's place

An ad for the York, PA Fair, this Thursday- http://yorkfair.org/files/2015/08/Dailies-17.jpg

Sadly TNA could only get billed after the "Racing Pigs & Dogs"!

Hopefully something can be sorted out, if that happens.

It would be great if Challenge got ROH as well, and it became a sort of mini wrestling channel.
