    It all depends on them.

    I mean they'll pick up the slack eventually, hopefully, and stop signing these old talents that people really don't care for. Maybe they'll be around for about 5 years or 10.

    The thing is, WWE is a monster. When highlights are shown on different, respectable networks, and brought up in topics there, that shows a solid relevance. I don't see many TNA highlights anywhere.

    Hogan, Bischoff and Russo are about to run ANOTHER promotion into the ground.

    I get the feeling sometimes that Dixie Carter never watched WCW from 1998-2001.

    I think as long as Dixie cares about TNA it will be around. The problem with WCW is that the guy who had the money ( Turner) didn’t really care about the project. It was all black and white numbers for him. I think TNA will be second as the wrestlers will like a place to go other than WWE and it’s still good for ratings. I hope that there are not to many changes but they did need some.

    Aj Styles move is a big mistake especially the gimmick they choose for him. It’s ridiculous. It would have been better to give Flair to Daniels or Eric Young

    This is complete heresay. The only real fact is that they haven't renewed a TV deal that expires in the fall with Spike TV. There's no news about Spike not being willing to renegotiate the contract so how are they about to "lose their deal"?

    As wack as management has been no other US promotion that started when they did has lasted 12 years or even half that time. On top of that something that IS a fact is that they are now in bed with one of the largest and most reputable talent agencies in LA (UTA) which represents people like Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp and who's umbrella also represents brands like Starbucks, Nestle and AT&T.

    This is the first time they took a wrestling promotion as a client. UTA will be handling their licensing and TV contract deals from here on out so chances are they'll remain on Spike. Even if they don't UTA will have no problem finding them another network since that is what they were hired for in the first place. So with that said I see that 2015 will come and they'll still likely be here.

    Yet the most money they made and the most ppv buys they received were when Hogan wasn't even there. The real reasons this company is still around

    1) They bring Spike an average of one million viewers every single week
    2) Bob Carter's pockets

    Vince McMahon will never buy TNA. It's not even on his radar.

    If they don't get a new deal with Spike it's over. That said I think their average audience is over a million so they will still be around a little while longer at least.

    Without TV they don't have funds to do anything and they have a hard enough time while still being on TV.

    I disagree Vince might dislike/not care about Tna but just the fact he owns most of the promotions that have gone up against him in the past i dont see him no saying ? it any buying out their weak library
