TMZ report that TNA Wrestling is cancelled.


Recommended Posts

 

Earlier today TNA President Dixie Carter held a  meeting at company headquarters in Nashville, but until now it was unclear what the meeting was about. Wrestlezone has learned Dixie did in fact meet with SpikeTV representatives last week – most likely on Thursday afternoon – and that she met with her inner circle on Friday to discuss the results of that meeting, in addition to today’s gathering with company officials.

While the following rumor remains unconfirmed, multiple sources close to both TNA and the network have informed WZ that SpikeTV does not want to renew its contract with TNA Wrestling, and when the current TNA/Spike deal expires, Impact Wrestling will be cancelled if the show cannot find a new home in a very short amount of time. It is possible the two sides are still trying to come to some sort of agreement, but at this point that’s what we know.

Wrestlezone has reached out to SpikeTV for comment, and will update the situation as we learn more.

 

Killam's sticking by the story on his twitter and is saying at least 5 different people in management are telling him they're cancelled.

 

Hilarious if it was lying about to Spike about Russo being back that was the final straw (apparently they weren't happy when they found out). Like, Mike Johnson may have killed TNA.

Seriously, though, Dixie lying to Spike executives about Russo when she knew they were in the final months of TV negotiations (and Spike were on the fence about a renewal anyway) is dumb, even by her standards.

 

It's like, come on.

 

-the fans don't want him back

-the wrestlers don't want him back

-The Japanese promotion you work with sometimes doesn't want him back

-the TV company that is literally the only thing keeping you afloat doesn't want him back.

 

Why would you risk it? Even if he was a half decent booker, it still wouldn't be worth lying to your wrestlers and business partners over.

Building a new boat using scrap pieces from the Titanic. Shocked it didn't work. I'm not sure if I would prefer them just dying or getting a new deal. Guess it would depend on if the WWE would bring in some of them. Since the mid card is so redundant at the moment.

TNA's last episode:

 

-Eric Young has it with these fools are drives off to Alaska to start a new life

-Magnus fakes his death and becomes a lumberjack

-Jeff Jarrett dies in his meth lab

-Dixie takes off her mask to reveal...Stephanie McMahon. TNA was a McMahon joke on wrestling fans all along.

-Russo sits alone at a diner, makes eye contact with a suspicious man while Don't Stop Believing plays in the background then...CUT TO BLACK.

From Da Meltz:

 

 

There were reports that Carter positioned to her staff at a meeting on Friday that they were leaving Spike on their own volition due to a lack of promotion, but others have confirmed Spike had told Carter they were not going to offer a new deal.

 

Dixie still bullshitting until the very end.

And Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, MVP, and Gail Kim sitting in a jail cell, when Angle says to MVP, "Did you see that midget jerking off in a trash can when we came in?"

MVP: "Yeah ... but you know, I keep thinking I've seen something like that before."

Angle: (pause) "You know, you may be right."

fade out

The ending should be a young Vince Russo holding a Impact Zone snow globe.
