Yeah, that would've been the sole reason they ditched Corgan. He may've been an idiot (Vince Russo fan) but he knew enough to know that Dixie's an absolute moron.
Zombie promotion keeps on shuffling, I suppose. At least for a few more months until Anthem gets sick of Dixie's shit too.

Nowhere near as good as Hogan's films brother. He just banked 30M for the last one and he doesn't even remember being cast

Faaaaaaahhhk. I wanted WWE to get the video library.
If it is John Pollock or Wai, tell them to get a Neogaf account and come hang out with us. I know Wai checks r/squaredcircle regularly.

No way, I couldn't stand the smug history rewriting "Monday Night Wars 2" features vince would no doubt make
Not that you need to rewrite much history for TNA of course, it's been a disaster since day one and only kept alive by Dixie's rich father.

Tape Library + Contracts.
This is assuming they have an idea to turn the company around, otherwise the contracts are obviously not worth the $10M+ they're going to be shelling out to settle all the wages and debt. They could just let the company go bankrupt and grab the tape library there.
I guess if the Aspers are serious about getting into wrestling and willing to use their clout, maybe TNA will go back on the road. They might even be able to get some new TV deals now dixie is no longer in charge. Her still being in the company in ANY position would mean Spike TV is off the table though

Man. TNA has missed the ax again.
Outliving WCW too.

Anything less than 51% would be worthless and he seemingly knows it. He wants to keep fighting for the 92% he was promised and them not being able to pay him on due date probably keeps him in the fight.

Great news. Shame on those that want the company to go out of business so wrestlers lose out on a (delayed) paycheck.
I doubt many (or all) will have any trouble finding a job on the Indy Wrestling scene or overseas. Hell, they'll probably make more money there.

I can't imagine they'd care enough to bury TNA like they do with WCW. And WWE is the only place the library makes any sense, except for TNA itself but even then: what are they doing with it?

I can't hate TNA because it gives us real-life storylines that easily trump anything the WWE has done in the past 10 years.
Back in the day who would have thought that in 2016 the front man to the Smashing Pumpkins would be having an all-out war with a wrestling promotion that seemingly crafted a deal with the devil to delay its execution multiple times.
