BREAKING NEWS: TNA up for Sale?!

Dave Meltzer is reporting that the Carter family wants to throw the towel in on TNA and sell the company to the highest bidder. Rumored parties range from Eric Bischoff, Jeff Jarrett, Viacom and even the WWE.

Dave Meltzer revealed the news on his radio show today that they've been wanting to get out of the wrestling business for several months now, after they've thrown everything at the company without any financial success.

WWE wins again if this is true.

I'd have to check the validity of this source before I believed it. That being said I so hope Eric Bischoff buys TNA if it's true.

At long last we might be able to see what would have happened if his purchase of WCW had gone through.

Barring that Jeff Jarrett should reacquire his company. It was his blood, sweat and tears that brought the company to life in the first place.

Spot on. I totally agree with everything you just said.

I've been monitoring the traffic at Wrestling News Source.

WNS Admin just confirmed the validity of the rumor.

btw this IS being reported elsewhere. Keep in mind that we do post rumours and they are not a confirmed fact until they are indeed, confirmed. If Dave is wrong, he's wrong. We will follow up this claim as soon as we know more. We did not fabricate nor spin the facts of the podcast in any favour. That is not what WNS does, nor will do. I'd shit can any writer who tried to distort the claims of rumours, facts or otherwise. I don't give a flying shit who it is.

I will update as I see it.

Good maybe someone who isn't a petite woman with no wrestling knowledge will take it over

 

[Postman Dave]

well this is an interesting start to the day.

Bischoff would appease Spike since he's the one who's worked closely with them.

I can't see WWE having too much interest in TNA like they did with WCW, WCW was a bargain all things considered. Thanks to the lack of TV slot, WCW was practically worthless when Vince swooped in, as far as I'm aware TNA's deal with Spike will role on regardless of ownership(?)

 

[Wang Chung]

Holy hell. I hope it is Bischoff that buys it like he wanted to do with WCW. Not only that but he is able to do the things he wants without idiots telling him no.

If it fails it fails but at least we know someone with a real wrestling mind is trying even a small joint venture with Jarrett and Bischoff wouldn't be bad.

I can see them having some interest in acquiring TNA... not for the company itself, but for the video library they have. Since WWE wants to have as much footage for the "Network" as they can.

Oh I can see it from that point of view, but as I said earlier, WCW was dirt cheap, and they got a far more extensive library out of it too.

 

[TeamPoser101]

Wow. If Bischoff or Jarrett can't buy this, it's going to be an extremely sad day in professional wrestling. Honestly, TNA is the only glimmer of hope that the wrestling world has to prevent a real monopoly.

 

[Drew]

So people think Bischoff and/or Jarrett can make a real difference with TNA? Things been scuffling along from what I can tell.

UPDATE!!

Exclusive: A Major Update On TNA Potentially Being Sold, Clarification On The Situation
Posted By: Lee on Oct 28, 2013

We've had an exclusive update surrounding the TNA situation that was broken yesterday on the Dave Meltzer/Brian Alvarez show from F4WOnline


Brian Elliott, editor of the Fighting Spirit Magazine in the UK, has spoken to us about TNA being sold by the Carter family. He explained the following to us about the situation:

"The Carter family has been open to receiving offers for TNA for several months. There are a select number of business people on the inside to whom this has been made clear. You have to understand that it's not like the company is going to be listed on eBay; keeping the fact that they are open to selling TNA to a small number of potentially interested parties keeps the price that the Carters can get for it at a much higher level than if they went public that the company was for sale.

If someone does make a bid, that information will then be leaked in certain quarters, in the hope of starting a bidding war that would raise the price further. Like with Fusient Media's attempted purchase of WCW, if someone comes in with a bid, we'll soon know about it."

 

[Wang Chung]

I still want someone inside to buy it and would he ecstatic if Turner bought it and said alright here we go again, but that is a huge long shot.

Ted Turner was just a business man, he never had anything to do with the running of WCW. I'd rather Bischoff said here we go again after he bought out the Carters.

He should let Jarrett keep his minority shareholdings. That way they'd be partners. That would be a great day. Let's see what happens then.
