Craig H Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Oh my God, if TNA signed Alex Jones to be a conspiratorial figurehead, I would flip my shit. I'd torrent it just for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTTW Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 How low will the WWE buy the library? 100k? 10k? Who else would even be interested in the footage? Seriously fuck Dixie. Ever single problem with TNA leads directly back at her. From listening to people who helped sink WCW to the multiple email fiascos, it all goes back to her. The faster she's out of wrestling the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hmm wonder if you could flip the library to WWE for a good amount of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The library is a strange case because while the brand and the company is totally worthless, the tapes have probably increased in value in the last year with all of the WWE talent acquisitions.

How so? They have tons of footage of WCW talent. The indy guys they could just buy indy footage from any number of other companies. Unless they're going to do something like "Unstrung: The Multiple Failings of Jeff Jarrett" what exactly do they have that WWE doesn't already have or can get elsewhere?

zev Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The Best of Samoa Joe could have his feud with Kurt Angle. That's got to be worth buying out TNA's library for at least 5 bucks. 10 if Angle's going in the WWE HOF someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having almost all of Sting's complete career (ditto for almost all of the Hall of Famers that were there for a cup of coffee.) They'd get 10 years of AJ and Joe's careers. They'd have plenty of fodder for specials pissing on the angles and gimmick matches. It doesn't matter how much of it is garbage; it's content.

Is anyone really longing for that footage given people didn't watch it the first time it aired? Tons of other footage of AJ and Joe from companies they already have relationships with. Not like they want to offer up money to guys to put out material with them if they aren't under contract or anything. Yeah, I assume they'll pick it up eventually, but it's going to be for pennies. They are the only people with a platform for it. Maybe NJPW if it gets it's network off the ground, but I doubt they'd want it. WWE can probably offer $50 and it's not like TNA would have much choice but to take it since no one else probably wants it. I can't wait to find out how low it goes for. It's going to be hilarious.

mattdangerously Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Vince would buy it just to keep someone else from buying it. Then he would probably let it collect dust somewhere in the WWE archives, forever unused, next to the Max Moon costume and Wade Barrett's push. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Of course WWE would buy the library if the price were right. I think they could spare some time on the network to show old TNA stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfish69 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Looking for investors? Doesn't there need to be actually something to invest in? I think Dixie's idea of an investor is just someone dumb enough to come in and pay salaries until they run out of money too. In all seriousness though, is TNA even salvageable at this point? To me the TNA name is so damaged that it seems like anyone who would take it over would have to just rebrand it and start at the bottom. It is not like they have a rich history at stake. A history most would want to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 From the WON update today Quote Things at TNA are coming to the 11th hour regarding a deal. Obviously Dixie Carter is attempting to make a deal that will allow her to maintain a majority ownership but one way or the other much of the company will be sold. There is one group that is the favorite to end up with the company but there is one more long shot play that is apparently still alive. The favorite group does have two people with wrestling experience with TNA among its key people. With TV starting Thursday, there is a feeling in the office that whatever goes down will be happening soon and that there will be changes made.

Some of the X-Division stuff is certainly worth having. While the company itself has largely been terrible, there are some moments in there that WWE could do something with. The Sting stuff has been mentioned but Christian's TNA run was also pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The X Division is replaced by an SS Division of course. Fucking shitbums. I found it cute that the WON blurb mentioned TNA's "office" when Dave meant to say storage unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
