It's going to be awesome when Vince purchases them then does the invasion angle again. Hell, he already has a few key stars but this time it won't be as hars to get the others considering most are wrestling for nickles and dimes

TNA invading NXT is going to be a fun storyline.
I mean hell. The Takeover special marketing practically makes itself

I was watching ROH Death before Dishonor from the other month and I really didn't know what to think of the Briscoes. On one hand I felt like they were the embodiment of CZW / backyard wrestling BS, on the other they were giving it their all. The finish to the Page / Jay match had me seriously cringing.

99% of the time I agree about indies dying
TNA is the 1%. We've seen its death coming for this whole decade, it's come closer with every year, and it hasn't been considered competition in a full 10 years (and that's being polite assuming it was ever considered competition, considering the fact it never once made a profit)

considering joe, roode and young are there it is already happining
I know I know, but it's still competition by definition
It's not as bad as if WWE bought ROH and PWG tomorrow morning, but it's still not a positive to me

That TNA tape library is 100% worth buying for compilations, 100's of hours of new network content, plugging gaps in career retrospectives, hyping guys, no question.

Fight network should buy TNA and let pollock and Wai book
Job to new day while Xavier promotes that he watched the X-Men animated series.
Lmfao, please no.
Broken Matt under WWE creative is the only bad thing about the buyout.

To be fair, nothing is a positive to you.
Hey Beef, did you hear Nintendo has a job position open as chief snitch?
if you ignore the times i'm positive? sure
We currently have the best champions trio we could hope for and wrestling is actually fun again, lighten up beefy head

Friggin Big Vito.
I wonder how many guys got shots in 98-03 because of the attitude era/wars that should have never gotten called up
I would only want that if they continue to let Matt, Jeff, and Reby do what they want.
Which they probably won't. So I'm not so sure I'd want that.

Is that the one with a dozen people at ringside and Stephanie is wearing an "SMH" shirt?
Forget the diva's revolution, Stephanie was a trend-setter in internet acronyms.
The internet wants to keep Stephanie down, that's why. Afraid of her position of power. Much easier to see Trish as just some pin up fitness model who happened to know a few holds.

Lita/Trish was I think the only women's title Raw main event. There was that match (non title) and there was Paige/Charlotte contract signing, but title match wise that was it.
Is the 25,000 tier: Gain ownership of CHIKARA?

Hear me out: #Broken Matt doing Snickers adverts
"Hey guys what's up it's me Matt Hardy from the Hardy Boyz, V1 am I right?"
*eats a Snickers*
"DELIGHTFUL!"
"Brother Nero, have a snickers."
*Jeff is on a ladder* "Why?"
"Because you become a spot monkey when you're hungry."
*Jeff eats*
"Better?"
"OBSOLETE!"
"DELETE!"
"OBSOLETE!"
"DELETE!"
Lita/Stephanie was a women's title RAW main event.

Hey guys, I've been basically absent from Wrasslin GAF for a while, need to get my ass in here more often.
Anyway, what's this I hear about WWE making a bid to buy TNA?
Can understand why, but I just really hope that at the very least they will selectively hire TNA's best talents and put them in NXT.
Sad reality is if Vince buys them out, he'll just leave the talent out in the cold and add the video library to the network.

Vince should buy it and have the invasion just be 3 hour PPV of Brock Lesnar entering the TNA arena ripping everything down and killing everyone.It's going to be awesome when Vince purchases them then does the invasion angle again.

TNA would have to be competition though.
Even as far as "its nice for other places for guys to work" TNA cant even afford to pay people full time. TNA has had every chance a wrestling company could have and botched all of them. Its time to let them go.
The rise of the indies and the internet as a way to expose more people to them and continued growth is more then good enough of a replacement

If WWE get TNA, we get the best gimmick back if they bring in Bischoff too.

There's that plus the video library which could let them easily make their money back on DVD documentary sales. Unless the asking price is in the tens of millions, it'd probably be a sound financial decision.
The Summerslam crowd chanted "DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!" at the universal title.

True but other TNA stars worth hiring are IMO.
EC3
Galloway
Lashley
Moose
Mike Bennett & Maria
Eli Drake
Most of the X-Division (they can join the new Cruiserweights)
Much as I'd like to see the Hardy's go to WWE, I am certain Vince would force them to drop the Broken Matt and Brother Nero gimmicks, if anything purely out of spite for the fact that that it wasn't his idea. Then there is also the very high probability of Jeff failing a drug test.
That's what you told me about Hogan and Austin back in the '80 and '90s, Sibersk Esto.
