FIRST OFF, WHY THE HELL HASN'T TNA REBRANDED THEMSELVES YET!? DON'T THEY KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THEY HAVE A HARD TIME SELLING ADS, AND FINDING SPONSORS? WHEN PEOPLE SEE TNA, THEY THINK OF THE ACRONYM FOR ASS N' TITTIES, NOT TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION. THE INITIAL IDEA WAS GENIUS IN ORDER TO RETAIN ATTITUDE ERA FANS WITH VINCE RUSSO AT THE CREATIVE HELM, BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND TNA NEED TO EVOLVE WITH IT... MOVING ON...

IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED BY TNA, PANDA ENERGY, AND DIXIE CARTER, THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. ECW SURVIVED AND GOT ON PPV BECAUSE OF THEIR FANS BACK IN THE 90'S AND THIS WAS THE ERA BEFORE SMARTPHONES and WIDELY AVAILABLE HIGH SPEED INTERNET. IMAGINE WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY? IF #CANCELWWENETWORK TRENDED, THEN SO CAN #SAVEIMPACTWRESTLING .

NOW, I HATE TNA!!! I LOATHE THEM SO MUCH, NOT BECAUSE OF THE ROSTER, BECAUSE DESPITE ALL THE TALENT THEY HAVE ACQUIRED OVER THE YEARS, THEY NEVER KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM OVER THE LONG TERM. REGARDLESS OF ALL THIS, I LOVE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. AND NOT TO BE A CORNY FUCK, BUT I LOVE PEOPLE EVEN MORE. THE LAST THING I WANT IS TO SEE PEOPLE'S FAMILIES STRUGGLE, LOSE THEIR HOUSES, AND OTHER KINDS OF STRIFE BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASONABLE INCOME OR ALTERNATIVE FOR A PROFESSION OF THIS NATURE, MUCH LESS ASPIRATIONAL INCENTIVES. KILLING TNA, MEANS KILLING THE WRESTLING BUSINESS AND MAKING IT HARDER NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT MADE IT LIKE ANGLE AND HARDY, BUT ALSO THE UP AND COMING YOUNG TALENT IN THE INDY SCENE. SO I AM AGAINST TNA(PLEASE REBRAND) GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

I have not watched Carter and company for years since their AJ Styles debacle and pretty much boycotted them for spitting in the face of the best wrestling talent walking God's green earth today. Yet, I know the trends. They're good again right? You know why I have this feeling, because of the online raving over Galloway, The Wolves, MVP and Kenny King. Also, WWE is beginning to get good again ever since Wrestlemania and allowing Rollins to carry the title. Whenever TNA gets good, Vince always seems to improve his product. TNA signs Hogan, Vince brings back Bret Hart, AJ Styles has the run of his life, Vince gives us Jeff Hardy as champion and the Straight Edge Society, TNA television gets good, WWE starts the summer of Punk and the pipebomb. I will watch one day, to see what they have of value, and as much as I would like to see TNA's best talents in WWE, oversaturation is no good for any business. We learned this from WCW going out of business.

If this company is worth that much to you then do something about it! Start petitions, hashtags, apps and spread the word, or... just let it die. I ain't gonna do any of this, ROH is still around, and TNA has had every opportunity in the world to make things better. The fact its 2015 and they still haven't rebranded shows their complete ineptitude in the wrestling business and emphasizes everything that is wrong with that company. Hell...if you're gonna keep the letters TNA then you might as well should sell sex. I mean, no bra and panties match, porn stars, or stripteases? Mc Mahon did it, but TNA can't even use their acronym... i mean "brand" to their advantage. Best of luck to your future endeavors. In the end, the great talent will be fine. Expect to see Austin Aries in NXT if they're done.

Legitimately, Dixie should probably step down as President and Panda should name a new President. Let TNA themselves decide who should run the company. Maybe someone who actually has knowledge on how to run a pro wrestling company. And this is coming from someone who has continued to stand by TNA for years. There's only so much crap an organization can do before it just needs to restart from the ground up.

Either that, or GFW just needs to take over.

As much as I hate to admit it, Russo was right. People don't watch wrestling on prime time TV for "good products".

His fuckery would probably have kept TNA in spike for a couple more years. Pro Wrestling in general lacks identity because the community is divided on what they perceive as a good TV wrestling show. So it's really hard to build a brand alternative to the WWE when they have such a vast monopoly on the industry.

Companies like NJPW and AAA manage to be in business by adjusting to a certain location and making shows for them. TNA should do the same in UK, if they want to stay alive.

I don't think anybody should wish TNA to die just for spite. I think there are a lot of people that just think TNA going out of business is logically the next step if things don't improve and are of the opinion that if TNA were ran better this wouldn't happen. More than likely if TNA DOES go, talents will go somewhere else and quite a few of them will probably enjoy themselves more, TBH :shrug

Look at AJ and any other talents TNA have let go as of late.

The TNA is going to die
I know that.
The TNA has cancer, because of Dixie Carter.
Dixies gonna kill it. And the kind of cancer, Dixie gave the TNA , is the slow eating kind of cancer.
It's not quick
I'm not gonna let Dixie Carter kill, what I've created. ME
the TNA is mine. It's mine. I created it.
I'M NOT GONNA LET DIXIE CARTER KILL, what I created.
because
I'm going to KILL, WHAT I'VE CREATED!
I'M GONNA KILL IT
I'M GONNA KILL MY CREATION!
I'm going to inject the TNA with a lethal dose of poison.
IF ANYBODY'S GONNA KILL MY CREATION, I'M GONNA DO IT!
Me and the G...F...W!

Anybody ever think that in a capitalist economy a company actually should be sustainable on its own and not have to get extra help from poorly saps? Once a company actually needs help from the public it might as well not be a private company anymore. If they need money then sell the damn thing! Letting the same people who killed the company business-wise (best product in years right now), in Dixie Carter, stay in control while begging to save TNA is counterproductive. Ask the bitch to step down so the company can be more sustainable!
