If TNA went under...

What do you see happening? How would TNA go out? Amazing buy out? Or just loss of business drives it into bankruptcy? Or do you see it being around permanatly as a write off to Spike and Panda?

I don't see them going bankrupt but if they do end up stopping TNA from being a company than I bet it would be from bankruptcy.

Well, what do you see happening?

I just posted it....

I don't see them going bankrupt but if the industry was to go out of business then it would be from bankruptcy.

I don't see it being from bankruptcy..they're being fueled by Panda Energy which is a huge corporation.

I can see Spike TV not renewing their deal in 2013 and them struggling to find a network home--the loss of television would be a lethal blow since Panda wouldn't support the company entirely. Even at that point, it's not wanting to pick up the financial commitments, not bankruptcy.

The loss of TV is what would do it in, much like WCW.

Thats what it seems like to me too, losing TV or losing star power.

Would have to all come down to them losing a bunch of money and not making it worth the investment. Would make them lose their backing and T.V deal so would be the domino effect type deal to make them go out of business.

I wouldn't say star power has much if any to do with it. When they made their debut on Spike they had Rhino, Jarrett and Christian. They were still around the same rating.

I think it would be losing their Spike TV deal. Not many networks would pick them up, outside of maybe MyTV or WGN America. They cant be on any Universal/NBC owned channel since they and WWE have a cable exclusivity pact.

They would have to ask Vince to put them on his network lol

That would be some awkward shit esp given how they like to jab at WWE, lol.

I think they'd find another network but would probably be hard and wouldn't be one that fit as well as Spike does for them.

Who though?

USA, G4, SyFy, Oxygen, Chiller, Bravo, Ion, NBC, and A&E are all owned by Universal who WWE has an exclusivity deal with.

TNT won't carry wrestling again as long as AOL Time Warner has a say, neither will TBS.

The CW gave up SD when it was the highest rated show they had outside of Smallville and on a bad night, and they have cut every program that doesn't generate a women's audience (shockingly Supernatural and Smallville have/had large ones). Heck they didn't even keep Gilmore Girls, The Game, Girlfriends, All of Us, or 7th Heaven because their female viewership had dipped too far to their male counterparts, despite averaging more viewers than TNA.

I mean the options are limited to WGN which has limited availability, FSN who they bad mouthed, Speed who has never aired that related pilot, MTV which is also Viacom owned like Spike and put LLUSA on at 10AM, and FX which is going to be UFC central.

I just don't see many options if Spike ever got pissed off with them and cut their financial losses with the program

 

[PHX]

Versus came to mind but I don't know if that is owned by something they wouldn't be able to be on.

Versus becomes NBC Sports when the year starts

As long as Panda owns them they will probably stick around because the company can use TNA as a tax write-off. If Panda were to sell for some reason then Spike may buy them just like they did with Bellator. I think that TNA will survive for a few more years simply becaue Dixie's mum and dad have plenty of money.
