Viacom wants to buy TNA

[CM_Burns]

TNA in 2013 is as bad as it's ever been, damn shame after the good run they had for a while last year. Still some good fukkery though.

Viacom did buy Bellator for $50 million, and they at least have a fighting chance with secondary MMA pending novembers ppv, say they offer 20 mil for TNA, Vince would offer more than that to kill it

link?

Even with a bigger budget these dudes gotta focus on being different from WWE, not the same. WWE-Lite is the wrong way to go and always will be.

I was on that train too but all those years of adhd wrestling didnt amount to anything.Now that they've gone a lil wwe-lite there a a lil more awareness.And they can atleast go on the road which they couldnt before.

[AquaCityBoy]

All TNA is lacking is creative direction

And money, and an audience, and decent attendance, and good buyrates...

I'll wait and see how the ppv does. That's the end game

Seems pretty unlikely to me. Dixie is a huge mark. If she worried about making money with this she would've sold it a long time ago.

if they do tna number will u call that a success?

15-20k? Hell no. TNA heights was 65k for angle-joe in a cage and that wouldn't be a success. With Rampage & Tito, below 100k territory is a failure

According to Meltzer, TNA has been profitable 3 years of its existence.

Your math is very off (for example Steiner never made close to that, especially his last runs, he was getting nothing, Sting makes the 500,000 but Angle does not), and you are not accounting for that TNA makes money through merchandise, house shows and PPVs. It's not very much money, but they do make money, there is no possible way they have lost 100 million dollars, there entire operating costs for a year are like 12 million dollars, so by doing your math they are making zero money for 8 years and then losing another 12 million on top of that?


and LMAO @ this. You think Vince McMahon would pay $20 MILLION DOLLARS for TNA? Are you fukking crazy?

he paid NOTHING for WCW and that was WCW, a company that had beat them in ratings, stole all his major starts and made it personal.

TNA has done nothing of relevancy to WWE. WWE doesn't really look at them as competition. Vince does watch them, and wants to one up them, but he isn't competing with them.

vince would buy tna, for the video library alone.

stop it,..breh!

vince owns damn near any and all domestic wrasslin footage.
