I could see Nash coming back to the 'E but if TNA did go under, I wouldn't be too surprised to see Bischoff and Hogan capitalize on the situation, like the rumors that were floating about earlier this year, and NOT another CCW *shudders*.

If TNA kicked the bucket, I would not expect Kurt Angle to return to the WWE. He could and would find TV hosting duties instead IMO. That's as unbiased as I could get!

Most of the X-Division seem fitting for ROH - I don't know why exactly, but it just feels right.

WWE candidates include LAX, Abyss, Robert Roode, Daivari and let's not forget the Knockouts: Roxxi, Taylor Wilde, Sojourner Bolt.

It would make no difference. TNA are nowhere near a threat now and won't be when they're dead.

Tna if folded will i bet you somehow come about under a new name. Not everyone will go to wwe, japan or Roh. Mind you saying that id love aj styles abyss and angle in wwe. Japan would get sabin and the x division guys i think. Sting would retire, booker would prob go bk the wwe for one last run and the rest will go to roh.

Vince would look at Joe and AJ first. They've been with the TNA since PPV days. But I don't know if they'd sell out to Vince. But would it be selling out if you ain't got no job and someone is waving a check in your face?

LAX could give little air to the tag division, Abyss and Lethal are the only ones I see that might do something if they were in the E. Throw Lethal in ECW and Abyss maybe in SD.

Now for the big boys looking at time shares. I think Sting would retire. I don't see him ever in the WWE. Kurt would get signed (still don't see the big deal about him) he's always been loyal and he's dying to say it's true, it's true again. If they signed Nash, I'd just shake my head because the should know by now Nash isn't that healthy and is known for "cramping up" when PPV's come round. Steiner? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Booker? Just put the chicken wings and the protein sandwiches on opposite sides so him and Tista don't bump into each other.

I don't know if we'll see TNA go under as early as June...but there's no doubt in my mind that we won't see them around in the long run. I'm not sure how extensive an interest Vince would have in their roster...

WWE

Abyss: Vince has a hard on for big guys. And I know for a fact he's had offers from them already.

AJ Styles: Not trying to get this guy would just be ridiculous. Although he's got strong TNA loyalty I'm sure a fat paycheck would catch his interest.

Robert Roode: potential..
James Storm: AT LEAST HE'S NOT BRADEN WALKER!
...and possibly The Dudleyz.

I think a lot of the "knockout" division would catch his eye as well.

I think guys like Sabin, Shelley, and most of the rest of the X Division would just drown in the mid card and really not be much of an interest to Vince. Unless of course Vince decides that a guy like Evan Bourne catches his liking.

If TNA were to close down, I think that ROH would see a bigger impact than WWE. Guys like Styles, Daniels, Shelley, Sabin, Joe, and Homicide would all be pumped back into Ring of Honor and really revitalize it.

WWE may re-sign Angle to a part-time contract, but that's about it. I could maybe see Nash taking some sort of backstage role, or else maybe even an on-screen authority role. Sting would pass on the WWE, and the WWE would pass on Steiner. Booker T would likely go back to Houston to run his wrestling school.

The interesting one would be Jeff Jarrett. I don't THINK he would come on in a wrestling role, but crazier things have happened. Vince would be smart to bring in Jeff as some sort of road agent to use him in trying to bring over at least some TNA talent. After that, though, I suspect that he too would return home. However, when TNA closes, that's when guys like Nash, Steiner, Sting, and even Jarrett will find themselves with DVDs and Hall of Fame spots for some of them right away, and all of them eventually.
