It wouldn't surprise me if it happens, TNA already feels like a WWE brand, you got an NXT guy appearing on Raw with their belt now, one of their guys getting a Wrestlemania moment

 

It makes sense. I’ve thought for the last year that TNA would make an excellent fit in the WWE farm system. It would basically slot in at:

Single A Developmental: Evolve
Double A Developmental: TNA
Triple A Developmental: NXT

It also gives WWE options if they want to abandon NXT as a developmental brand and make it a true main roster brand.

 

Yeah I think it's a done deal.
TNA lost their World and KO titles to NXT talent already. Wouldn't be surprised to see it announced around BFG.

 

Turn TNA into a women's show

The name is already there

 

This would be a sad day in wrestling. TNA's legendary resilience going out with a whimper

 

I feel like it's inevitable.

To say however that I'd be disappointed and somewhat fumed at this is beyond an understatement, it's a bad look on the industry too when smaller companies are being bought up by the largest one.

 

The day that AEW and New Japan are gone will be a dark day for the industry and the wrestlers. Wrestler salaries and benefits going forward in contract renewals will likely be slashed to the bare minimum, just as in WCW in 1992.

 

Should of bought them when TNA actually was worth watching lol

 

You should add a question mark to the thread title, rather than stating this as a clickbait fact.

 

I will fit it.

 

WWE buying TNA would be so awful for the wrestling business. We need promotions with different identities for fans to follow. AEW being around is more important than ever right now. OG TNA fans are gonna go scorched Earth if this happens, they've been flipping out over what happened at Slammiversary.

 

WWE are technically not buying TNA though, it's TKO that would be buying TNA. And since they are already collaberating now I really don't see any change other than who pays the wages.

 

I hope they don't tbh, because look how awful Tony Khan is running ROH since buying it. It's basically a dead brand now that he just uses to give his talent some pointless belts. I rather WWE and TNA just continue to work together.

 

ROH was already dead before he bought it, let's not rewrite history. TNA is not dead and is actually a destination hotspot for the lower tier indy wrestlers trying to make their way up like Santana.

 

Ahhh yes, the American way of conglomerates. Swallowing others because why have competition or your own creativity when we can just buy it?

Wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

 

Jesus sickos relax. Just was a observation lmao

You can't defend your own silly statements and now its "relax" lol, no one is attacking you, just making a correction. I even agree with you that ROH is not ran well right now, its just matches galore, but its still progress from when they were literally on their deathbed, and he's still actively trying to get a TV deal for it.

I mean I honestly don't see much changing other than a higher quality production value and possible move to Netflix which is a benfit to TNA.

Would there be talent moves?? Yes likely but I see it happening in both directions

I think the bigger issue though is that it strengthens their monopolistic push when you dissolve promotions that still have some life such as AAA or TNA. The benefits in regards to higher production value and a possible streaming deal in the future are definitely positives though, but all under the WWE banner.

You always take shit so deep on here and spin your own narrative of bs thinking you’re always right and everyone else is just wrong. So whatever you say dawg lmao

Congrats ROH is still a dead brand that is now just being funded by a wrestling mark billionaire with endless money <3

Absolutely, I think though at this point they’re already been bought out well it feels that way through the booking and roster members. I don’t even think TNA allows any of its talent to do outside bookings at all anymore. I rather they just combine TNA and NXT to save the men’s division and strengthen everything else. A division with Trick, Hendry, Santana, Moose, Fema, Starks, Jake Something etc. is much stronger than a split. But then again I can see them keeping the two companies.

Do you have anything to say that is worth a shit? Or just more memes?

I don't have to watch TNA to understand that having an array of different promotions that are all independent is healthy for the business kid. I don't have to watch TNA to understand that its giving Mustafa Ali and Santana a place to go after things didn't work out for them in AEW and WWE.

I'm done with this. You can have the last word.

It seems like all the anti AEW guys feel like disagreeing with them in anyway shape or form is you being hurt about an opinion. Like you’re suppose to just be like your right. Then even when you express your point in a logical way they try to downplay it with a condescending “Relax Sicko” lol.

And it seems if anyone doesn't glaze the AEW product 100%. They're "Anti AEW". And the fact the word sicko offends you guys. A term in which Tony himself made a thing is also hilarious. I've seen all the hardcore fans in my day. WCW,ECW,TNA. and shit even NJPW fans etc, but none have come close as being as soft as AEW fans are. Always crying when people dislike the shit they love and just have the biggest victim complex.

A merged roster would be cool and would certainly help NXT's division on the men's side, it just comes at a cost. Less destinations for up and coming talent to decide between. So if WWE and AEW say no to them, then there are less viable places to go with actual brand value. Without TNA the likes of Santana, Mustafa, Masha, Indi Hartwell, Peyton Royce, Joe Hendry, Tessa Blanchard, Kazarian, Hardyz, etc would all be out of work in all likelihood. TKO/WWE and AEW can't sign everyone, and whenever TKO is looking to cost cut they're gonna get rid of the contracted talents first. Dissolving TNA just means they have more control over the market.

Exactly, they can't defend their points so they want to take these passive aggressive shots at you because you don't blindly agree with their low IQ statements lol. The word "sicko" just means "hardcore fan" but this guy is using it like sickos are less than lol. He was proven wrong and instead of just admitting he didn't know about the ROH situation, he proceeded to make his condescending remarks. He posts to talk shit, not to gain understanding or have an actual discussion on anything which is why all you see from the guy is exclamation marks, emojis, memes and "I wanna lick Liv Morgan's butt" posts.

 

Edit I am just moving on...No point and plus Hulk Hogan as passed

 

No shit

 

They already own them and didn't even have to pay.

 

We really need to look at this from the point of view that its freaking TKO looking to buy TNA not WWE.

TNA will likely still be a separate entity under TKO umbrella just like WWE is with UFC so the talent having somewhere to go should not be the issue here (unless it's someone black balled)

There are way more benefits than negatives for TNA here.

 

I think TNA being independent is good for NXT talent.

These guys/girls need to experience more than the PC, and they've already cut back the main roster house shows significantly. Let them go and work outside talent. See different things. Trick Williams feels like a much bigger deal now than he did this time last year.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if it happens, but I don't see the value, other than owning their video library.

 

This would be bad for the wrestling industry. Just another monopoly eating up a smaller promotion. For the sake of the business I hope it doesn't happen

 

Yes WWE will buy TNA that’s why they are doing the invasion storyline where TNA show up on NXT and NXT wrestlers show up on TNA.

 

There's been no invasion storyline...there's lots of crossover but you can't call it an invasion...NXT guys are welcome on TNA within kayfabe and vice versa. Trick William has teamed with First Class, Joe Hendry teamed with Hank & Tank...An invasion would be straight up war between NXT and TNA, this has not been that.

 

I hope this happens and I hope TKO puts TNA on a major cable network and airs HEAD TO HEAD against Dynamite

I have a feeling TNA would do well on Wednesday nights

 

Eventually probably due to how this is pretty much the same thing as when WWE bought ECW 😂



It just better be on tv so people can see it! Its bad enough they need to bring RAW back to tv ASAP.

 

It's probably gonna happen

 

This would be terrible.

 

Why would WWE buy TNA if they already have everything they want out of this partnership?

 

Despite their ups and downs over the years, TNA has become a key part of pro-wrestling history....maybe WWE just want them for that, their video library, hell maybe WWE even want their own X-Division.....how do you know WWE is getting everything they want out of this, did Triple H, Nick Khan and Ari Emanuel tell you this personally?

 

I think buying TNA would end up strengthening NXT but they might want TNA to be kind of like how ECW was back in the day, an unofficial talent pool to pick they guys that end up catching back on. I mean no way they make Joe Hendry as successful as he is now if he never went to TNA and just went straight to NXT
