They won't buy them now, and will not when they get bigger. Only if at some point they're at the verge of bankruptcy, then it may very well happen.

Some sort of stock holders meeting in 2011, I think. Didn't know they videotaped these things.

To answer the whole question of the topic, TNA will only be bought out if they want to be. You can't just buy something that isn't for sell. And nothing against TNA, but there's really nothing about them at the moment that would make WWE desire to buy them out. Just some extra stuff on their 24/7 channel, maybe enough material (matches only, no documentary) to put out a DVD of. So they're not being bought out anytime soon, unless Bob carter gets sick of funding them.

The only viable way of WWE purchasing TNA is for Vince to use TNA as TNA, not for it to become some sort of 'second WWE' rather like they did with ECW/WCW. That could lead to some interesting angles and some quality 'rivalries' between the companies however.

Maybe but first I think WWE is going to buy TNA the same way they did WCW. They do a WWE vs TNA era. WWE is higher in the ratings and eventually buy out TNA. Then they will assign TNA superstars to Smackdown, Raw, or NXT.

They'll keep TNA but with different people running it. So you'll have Smackdown on Friday, Raw on monday and TNA on Thursday.

Personally, WWE buying out TNA is like if they were to buy out ROH or something. TNA does not compare to WWE in the way it attracts viewers, so techincally it's too small and doesn't have the right strategy for WWE to call it a big enemy.
