Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 This is my favorite thing ever. Thank goodness for the guy live tweeting. Parham said cash flow is a small part of the story. He says people want to buy TNA bc it is valuable. Parham said tax lien is an accounting mistake. A non issue he says. Sorry...ill stop now.
RIPPA Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 Nate Rau is the one tweeting it http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2016/10/26/corgan-makes-case-take-over-tna/92720672/ That is the link to the first half of his story so make sure you give him some clicks 1

Raziel Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 That's OK, a week ago Bob Ryder was only addressing them as "Rumors". The rest of TNA's cheerleading crew is unusually silent. Also following that I know if (ie, it pops up on my Followers you know): Ross, both of Dutch's accounts, and Alverez.

DTTW Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 We should all send Corgan a thank you card. This has all been way more entertaining than anything TNA ever broadcast. 6

Raziel Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Can we get DVDVR Legal to look these tweets over, cause I'm having a REAL hard time wrapping my head around exactly what in the name of Rhylor TNA's attorney is trying to argue here that actually HELPS TNA's position.
BrianS81177 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Reading through these, I can't imagine anyone with the slightest bit of common sense ever doing business with TNA again. On the off chance Corgan loses, I bet he starts up his own competing company just to kill off TNA. I'm sure he could get on Spike easily enough.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Maybe Billy can do a reality show in exchange for a time slot with Spike.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 OMG. How stupid is this company... Anthem atty says company is willing to pay off Corgan loan minus transaction premium he says he is due.

The agreement was usury in the first place. TNA was desperate for cash and Corgan made them an offer where if TNA defaulted it would result in a windfall for him as TNA is actually this very valuable asset worth millions. TNA is now willing to make Corgan whole so everyone should just move on with their lives. 1
Raziel Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 That makes sense. However, I'm not sure how TNA survives this with the strategy of "the contract was illegal", depending on who did the contract. Someone defrauded someone there? Was it Corgan knowingly presenting a bad contract and Dixie taking it? I imagine that Parham goes over everything that Dixie signs, so did he green light her signing a contract that he knew was illegal, of everyone else didn't? Someone's rightly fucked.
Raziel Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Is the actual ruling, or is the the ruling for the injunction pending the actual trial?

Parham said the contract between Corgan and Carter is illegal under TN law. So Carter cant transfer her mgr rights even if TNA is insolvent. 57 minutes ago, Raziel403 said: Can we get DVDVR Legal to look these tweets over, cause I'm having a REAL hard time wrapping my head around exactly what in the name of Rhylor TNA's attorney is trying to argue here that actually HELPS TNA's position. Very quickly skimming the TN statutes, all of the members of Impact Ventures, LLC would need to approve Dixie transferring her rights as manager to Corgan. It seems like there's potential for fraud IF they represented that had been done and it wasn't. Off the top of my head, there's nothing that would make her transfer illegal. That unanimous consent is not required for Corgan to be appointed as Dixie's proxy to vote or otherwise act for her. 42 minutes ago, JohnnyJ said: The agreement was usury in the first place.

TNA is now willing to make Corgan whole so everyone should just move on with their lives. That part struck me as odd. "This is an usurious deal, but we're completely willing to pay it!" seems like an argument you make when you know it isn't really usurious. Otherwise, you'd just try to get out of paying it. 1
jstout Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 My question is: Is it criminal fraud to mislead Corgan, an investor in the company, about the true nature and severity of TNA's debt?
BEN! Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Billy Corgan's lawyer is super casual in the court documents. Everybody addressed by first name only. Corgan's goal is getting TNA for what he's already paid without having to inherit any of the debt. He knew what kind of financial situation the company was in. Anybody with any knowledge of TNA knows that their cash flow has basically been around $0 for the past 3-4 years. Also, acting like being TNA President meant he could do actual business stuff is like if Jack Tunney marched into Titan Tower and started firing people. I have no idea why he wants a jury trial. He should really just take Anthem's payoff and maybe the Grand Championship belt and go hit the podcast circuit. It's hilarious how some people act like Dixie Carter's some evil mastermind. She's way less hands on than people think. She just sticks her fingers in her ears when she gets bad news and tells her incompetent executives to handle it. That's how you get a CFO juggling debts and playing shell games and bikers strong-arming production workers. I want to say the period when TNA was overpaying Bruce Prichard was when Panda management was in the process of transitioning from Dixie's father to Dixie's brother and any TNA business Panda was handling including payroll was being transitioned over to TNA to handle in-house. So at that time, the payroll issues were Panda's fault. After that though, it's all TNA. Russo didn't have anything to do with Spike dropping Impact. Dixie Carter gave him a consulting job because he cried poverty and she took pity on him but Spike wouldn't have given two shits if he was back with TNA or not. Hogan/Bischoff raising production costs through the roof while dropping ratings through the floor already had Impact as good as done when their deal came up. I think what really sealed their fate was Scott Coker coming into the picture with Bellator. After Spike cancelled Impact, Bellator got Impact's old production equipment. All this said though, I thought TNA was like $20 million in the hole so they're doing way better than I ever would've thought. Morale up, everybody!
