If Vince buys it I hope he learned his lesson about WCW and doesn't kill it. Leave it as it's own brand like NXT. If he wants to change the name ok if POP wants to keep it on their network fine if not Vince has his own network. Keep the shows at the Impact Zone.

Put Shane in charge of it if Shane can/wants to do it.
:whoa:

Don't blame Vince for how WCW met it's end, no tv deal plus losing $62mil in a year it was dead before the purchase. It was a toxic brand, nothing Vince could do about it

Also, having another wrestling brand under the WWE umbrella will complicate things

Will it be a competing brand?
who runs it?
NXT can take a financial loss since its part of their developmental, could Impact?
NXT is their developmental and Indie-like brand, whats TNA going to be?

Every time one of these things come out I just think Corgan should say fukk it & start from scratch :yeshrug:

TNA seems like a financial sink hole anybody (but WWE) buying would just be throwing money into with no real shot of digging out of. You have to buy the majority from Dixie, the stakes from everybody else that owns a piece, & get stuck with whatever debts they owe.

If you're going to throw money away like that you may as well start over & not be running in mud from the start. Only issue would be TV but honestly Corgan could maybe pull off getting on somewhere better if Pop didn't want them.

Wow... this feels like those last two weeks of WCW.

It was already announced they were approaching the last Nitro, but nobody knew that by the time it aired, the company was gonna be bought by Vince and he was gonna be on that shyt burying Lex and Jarrett :mjlol:

It's kinda fukked, but if we get another hilarious Vince promo next Monday... :dj2:

They would probably job Lashley to Stroman now.


It would never be realistic cause stroman has no pedigree and lashley ahs top pedigree for a Gen as a grappler.
Only person seeing lashley is Brock and I would put money on lash verses Brock on lash anyway.

TNA doesnt have one distinct fan that would spend money to see it
