Dixie responds:
Dixie Carter has appeared to respond to rumors regarding her family being interested in selling the company. Here is what she wrote on her Twitter account earlier today:

While no one from the company has stated that the company is for sale, parties who believe the company is for sale are positioning themselves for a potential purchase. One would think that The Carters would at least listen to serious buyers.

On a side note, Dixie Carter reminds me of Derpy Hooves.

Hello everyone, welcome to this third installment of “In This Very Ring.” For the first time since its introduction, this column will focus on the little promotion that can give the boys in Connecticut a run for their money: TNA Impact Wrestling. Specifically, we’re going to pay attention to the recent development that the company may be sold by the Carter family. Now, to many in the IWC, this may seem like the saving grace for TNA, freeing itself of the ownership that has made countless mistakes and poor decisions over the past few years. But who would be better suited to run the company? Let’s find out together, narrowing down who are rumored to be the potential suitors for the ownership of TNA.

Viacom

Viacom is the parent company of Spike TV, the network that airs Impact Wrestlingevery Thursday night. If Viacom were to purchase TNA, we could possibly see a repeat of the leap Turner Broadcasting made when they purchased WCW from Jim Crockett. What this could mean is that Viacom would hire someone with knowledge of the business, like Turner did with Eric Bischoff. If this did play out, we could see names like Jeff Jarrett or any other veteran performer looking to fit in the executive role.

Jeff Jarrett

Speaking of the King of the Mountain, the former world champion is another favorite to buy his old company back. Let’s not forget that during his tenure in TNA ownership, we were introduced to the six-sided ring and had the opportunity to see young stars emerge, such as current world champion AJ Styles. It is speculated that when Jarrett was ousted from TNA by the Carters, there was a lot of animosity and the two parties split on bad terms. Since then, Jarrett has returned to TNA as a road agent and is possibly in a good position to take his company back. Not to mention, as a performer, Jarrett knows what it takes to elevate the company, given that he would have more resources than when he started off 11 years ago.

Eric Bischoff

In this writer’s humble opinion, this is the worst possible option. Eric Bischoff would be buying the company simply to accomplish what he couldn’t with WCW when it was purchased by WWE in 2001. Bischoff has been documented as saying that he was on the verge of buying WCW until Vince McMahon swooped in and made the purchase. This move would just be Bischoff’s way of redeeming himself and possibly even re-living his glory days. We’ve already seen what he’s done as head of creative. Do we really want to see him as the boss?

WWE

Of course, there is always the obvious frontrunner. It’s no secret that WWE considers TNA to be competition, seemingly one-upping the promotion by copying storylines and angles. It would be a simple move for WWE to buyout the company and re-use the invasion storyline, and maybe even locking in a potential Sting-Undertaker showdown for WrestleMania. Not to mention we would see all the typical DVD merchandise: “The Rise and Fall of TNA,” “TNA: Best of Bound for Glory,” and maybe even “The Very Best of Impact Wrestling,” starring Samoa Joe.

However, the potential twist in all this is how the purchase would go down. At this point, the purchase could possibly executed by a high-level executive not named McMahon. Need a hint? It may soon be “Game Over” for TNA.

By this point, I shouldn’t have to spell it out for you. With Vince McMahon on the outs, Paul “Triple H” Levesque will be looking for that one moment that establishes his legacy as the heir apparent to the biggest wrestling company in the world. Should WWE buy TNA, expect the 13-time world champion to make all the moves and possibly overseeing operations for the company until a merger can be set. The question is, would this be “best for business?” Only time will tell.

There you have it, the pros and cons of seeing TNA change owners. All that’s left to do now is to sit back and watch this soap opera play out.

Fighting Spirit Magazine editor Brian Elliott has reported that TNA "isn't necessarily for sale" but the Carters have "received offers from a few parties over the past few months and are open to it if the money is right."

Viacom please.

And yeah: Fighting Spirit Magazine editor Brian Elliott has reported that TNA "isn't necessarily for sale" but the Carters have "received offers from a few parties over the past few months and are open to it if the money is right."
