The Rise And Fall Of TNA Wrestling (Extended Cut)

[Music] what started as a small regional promotion companies soared you're amazing - jocularity it was crazy how they begun our wrestling but it's extraordinary success - spiraled out of control so stated a tale to make no sense at all there's so many guys working there's so much money being thrown out of things really fell through the cracks like the large ATM machine I ever saw now I know that a lot of you are not happy with some of the decisions I've made lately we welcome you to the impact zone we welcome you to Orlando Florida for what promises to be a very historic a very exciting and a very monumental announcement so today I'm very happy to announce to you that starting March 8 TNA Impact is moving to Monday night at 9 o'clock Eastern and specific and just needed that little bit of rocket fuel as he said and today I'm here to tell you I think Hulk Hogan has definitely been that rocket fuel the TNA needed oh yeah DNA has everything we need to go somewhere no sports entertainment company has ever gone before [Applause] that's the window come on my level in the dressing room that old barbaric rustling mentality is gone ena when I guess PNA everyone was a family and PNA had a beating heart that day that I got on the said everything had changed around occluding including the sense and we're just different and much more abrasive no you come to me we had you set all up to come here today you pushed out like a big fake black picture Oh slavery still alive and kicking rose me feel sorry for me I'm doing independence now for 50 bucks a night selling Polaroid for $5.00 you dumb [ __ ] so to be here I actually feel young again I feel you know spring in my step please I need to help and it's not a whole Cogan thing I thank you very much for the little extra you know gasoline type cliche but it's not me it really is it but to me it's not a competition anywhere this company has a better product everything I've seen here for being around you know almost a couple months now this company is bettered everything they do moments ago Hardy was the victim of a fireball thrown in his face by James Storm you at home did not see it I've been saying lately you know how come it's you know okay I'll admit I'm a wrestling fan why do we have to admit it you know we want to give a hug that will make them proud to be a fan again yeah no you must do this you signed the deal you agree to this and I've been informed by TNA management if this doesn't happen you will be fired on the spot you must now go to the ring and perform a striptease [Applause] really has a heart in a dozen we get to music that's what I want how long do you foresee this happening I think we see this happening for ever and ladies and gentlemen huge news right off the top earlier today unit president Dixie Carter made the following announcement DNA has listened to the band and is moving impact back home that Thursday night I quit [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] it was a report this week that AJ Styles status with TNA is in great question right now his contract is going to be expiring sometime next month and they as usual are coming down to the wire with discussions as far as a new contract it really just boiled down to money I'm not sure if Stiles is asking for an unreasonable amount of money or if it's just a situation where the problems in TNA financially are so bad they just can't afford to pay him what he's probably worth now Stiles has been working for that company since day one he's one of the TNA original he's been there since 2002 he is to TNA what sting was to WCW is costing the icon right well that's what Stiles essentially is to TNA and now we have the very real possibility that Stiles could leave if they can't reach a deal that both of them are happy with and I will say this if they let a j-style slip away which would be it's almost unfathomable to me for everything I just mentioned not only is he is he you know he's been there since day one he's been a top guy in there world champion he is in a position now where in I mean I've predicted from the beginning that he would win the Bound for Glory series and go on to be fully ready become the champion pay-per-view in October that was my prediction I figured that was the plan all along remember he lost the match last year that said he could not get a world title shot for an entire year and that's why he sunk into this depression he went all emo you know he was you know the modern-day version of stingily he wasn't coming down from the rafters he had the black trench coat he was an island all unto himself nobody knew whose side he was on that's the character he's been portraying that essentially flopped which is why he's now back to being you know the phenomenal AJ style he'll get to that in a little bit but that to me has always been the plan maybe I'm wrong even if it's not the plan he's prominently featured just like he was this week on TV all of these different things and the notion that they could very well let this guy slip away you know if that happens as far as I'm concerned it's lights out for TNA I mean you just can't let somebody like that go he's their guy he's been there since day one how much financial trouble must this company be in if they can't sign AJ freaking Styles to a new deal so you hear all these stories and you see these dominoes falling in these guys leaving and then you hear about AJ's I mean it's one thing for it to be D Vaughn it's one thing for it to be mr. Anderson AJ Styles that's a completely different story and my gut tells me he's not going anywhere I just I cannot imagine they will let him go you are not happy with some of the decisions I've made lately Craddock he must have been just a little bit off in AJ I have a contract for you I want you in DNA I want you to sign your contract you didn't believe in me money can't fix your problem you don't respect me you don't respect the OMA I'm leaving [Applause] [Music] [Applause] get in that poor [Applause] I know that a lot of you are not happy with some of the decisions I've made lately Billy Corgan has to both TNA and Dixie Carter he's not just suing TNA but he's suing Dixie Carter herself as well Corgan was under the impression that he was funding the TV tapings for TNA because it would ultimately lead to him buying the company and now we have learned that Dixie will not sell the corgin and he wants his money back with TNA not having the money to pay him back that's ultimately why he sued as far as running Corgan filed an injunction that is going to freeze Dixie's from doing anything with the company now we're freezing the company would be in his favor TNA is due to pay talent this weekend and if they don't get paid their contracts are Nolan bored their contracts is pretty much TNA broke their deal of we're going to pay you at this time and they're ultimately all going to be free agents now if the company is frozen they can't make those payments and the contracts won't be broken because it is out of their jurisdiction it's something they it's not just that they didn't pay they weren't allowed to pay and how this can help Corrigan is if they don't pay they don't lose the talent if he gets the company that talent is still there essentially because if Gordon gets TNA he really wants it for having the talent some of the production equipment and the TV deals so if say they don't pay and the contracts are broken and all these guys can leave it's like Billy Corgan is going to get a company that has no wrestlers now Corgan's also filed some sort of a restraining order against both Dixie and her husband Serge and they're supposed to go to court with a six-man jury next Thursday October 20th I know that a lot of you are not happy with some of the decisions I've made lately now as far as who funded the TNA tapings this past week and Bound for Glory parent company of the fight Network and if you remember I've told you as before the fight Network does only a stake in TNA and they've actually even spoken with Dixie about taking over and buying the company now according to the Tennessee Secretary of State website a filing was made on 9:30 the Friday before Bound for Glory that anthem sports actually sent money to TNA is a fight network and arrow Luck's are secured creditors to TNA what that means is in layman's terms if they do go bankrupt those two companies will then will get paid out before anybody else because they're secured creditors now you're going to think okay well shouldn't really Corgan be on that list apparently the other Corgan is not on that list and in Tennessee he is a personal creditor of Dixie Carter and like I said he thought all the money he was putting in was going towards TNA and maybe they'll reach a settlement or some sort of agreement before next week but it's just he had to take these measures because Dixie was given him the runaround he when he finally realized you know what that's not going to happen he pulled the trigger he said give me my money back when they said we don't have it he said legal action and if you're asking well who are they going to sell the company to now as of right now Dixie has stopped all sale talks I know that a lot of you are not happy with some of the decisions I've made lately every week though it's something new with this company every single week it's like playing whack-a-mole I just I can't keep up and it's all bad it's not like it mixed in there's some good news and bad news yeah you have that in movies oh I got good news I got bad news which do you want first [ __ ] that it's all bad which piece of bad news d1 for James we'll start at the beginning here PW insider broke the story that Billy Corgan the president of TNA Wrestling filed a lawsuit this week against TNA as well as Dixie Carter her husband Serge and their CFO Dean broadhead is this guy's name filed a lawsuit in the Chancery Court of Nashville Tennessee that's now being broadhead that's the same Dean broadhead if that name sounds somewhat familiar who posted on his Facebook page back in June that he had 12 hours she talked about the harrowing experience over the weekend that he had where I only had 12 hours to secure interim financing for the company that sounds familiar and then he said well maybe it's time to retire he was so stressed out by the whole ordeal that went down in those 12 hours he contemplated retirement all documents are currently under steel so you can you can bring up the case on the website for the Chancery Court but I guess a normally where you would find hyperlinks to different parts of the case there are no hyperlinks because there's no details at this point that have been made available it's under steel temporary restraining order was also issued for what we don't know but the belief is that Corrigan filed is to prevent Dixie from selling in the meantime to anybody you know selling the company out from under his nose just doing anything making any major moves until all of this is settled Dixie Carter personally owes money to Billy Corgan and in fact the lawsuit I think there was something that he had published on the site and then like the day after his when he filed the suit so she apparently owes money directly to Corrigan TNA owes money to era Lux I'm sure you've heard that name before that company era Lux has a minority stake in TNA they also owe money to Anthem Sports & Entertainment one of the parent companies of the fight networks which also owns a minority stake in TNA and the latest rumor by the way is that Dixie may have already sold part of the tape library to anthem I guess to make up for some of the money that she owes I don't know if that's confirmed or not but that supposedly is what has happened at least part of the tape library may have already been sold to them and they also owe money to a third company called MCC acquisition Corporation which is listed at the same addresses and some sports in the fight Network so they're all connected somehow I don't want to say they're all the same company but they're all I guess based out of the same office and the last that last debt to MCC is dated September 30th which was right before bound for bankruptcy in the last set of TV taping so it appears we may now know who helped fund those shows at the last minute and TNA owes them money as well so Corrigan's lawsuit was not the only lawsuit filed against TNA in the last few weeks came out that they were also sued back in late September by their former production company audience of one production two hundred and twenty three thousand dollars what interest is what they've been sued for for breach of contract among other things this was now this was to produce last year's Bound for Glory and TNA here we are over a year later now still has yet to pay up now also remember Eric Bischoff still has pending litigation against TNA I don't recall exactly what the reasoning was behind the suit but he sued TNA that's been going on for a while so that's still pending and if the horse wasn't dead enough why not beat it some more we found out this week that the state of Tennessee issued a tax lien against TNA last month so yes the state of Tennessee now has the right to seize TNA property over thousands of dollars I guess and back taxes that have yet to be paid I read somewhere it's something like three or four hundred grand I don't know if it's that much I don't know the exact amount but I know it's in the many thousands of dollars in back taxes that apparently TNA OS which means they have Dixie were to sell the company either a good chunk of that money would go toward paying back to state or whoever is dumb enough to actually buy the company at this point they then would be liable for the money owed which begs the question who would even get in bed with these people who would want to buy TNA at this point this is quite the business that Dixie Carter's been running here I wouldn't hire this woman to run a [ __ ] lemonade stand one thing one thing that is very clear about all of this is that Dixie must really not like Billy Corgan and as a result it's killing this company of course she's killing this company she's holding it hostage I mean she's like one of these crazy mothers who thinks that her child is possessed by the devil and and drowns them in the lake in their backyard only in this case the devil is Billy Corgan she would just as soon see this company die then let him get control of it now according to Meltzer their next pay period I guess you know the pay period for the for the talent TNA was October 15 so in October 30th so the next pay period for all the talent was due to come up this weekend apparently some of the wrestlers are ready to declare themselves free agents this week if they don't get paid he also claimed that you know to go back to the rumor about WWE being involved in wanting the tape library he mentioned that where they came into the picture and WWE appears to be out of this now and why the hell wouldn't they be I mean who the hell wants to get wrapped up in this mess but melter claims that it was john de boric who used to work for WWE who went to Kevin Dunn his old boss with the idea that they can make a deal he could help get them the TNA tape library and in return he would get a job out of it this [ __ ] guy likes like rats jumping off the ship but then wait it gets even better I'm not even done here you should see this list of bullets that I have here apparently on impact last week some of the wrestlers were missing their entrance music and the company had to scramble at the last minute to edit the theme music some of the theme music off the show apparently for Zema Ion and for mike bennett i don't know if it was anybody else at least those two guys they had to edit the music off the show at the last minute or else pop TV might have pulled the show all together impact might not have aired if they had not done that because there was some sort of rights issue I guess with the composer of the music right for all I know maybe that guy suing TNA also now if it's true that we don't know for sure but if it's true that Dixie has already sold or is selling parts or all of the tapes libraries of his anthem sports company to make up for whatever debt that may be owed to them that tape library was the last remaining asset of any real value so if they're unloading the tape library and if you have wrestlers that are not getting paid let's say and they end up declaring themselves free agents for breach of contract then this company eight worth [ __ ] and if I'm Billy Corgan I try to collect my money through the courts and I run for the hills I start my own Reckling company I don't need this [ __ ] I mean who in their right mind would want to inherit this mess why would he want to I can understand it for the name value of TNA man I want this brand this is such a powerful brand I just wanna I want to buy the bones and I want to make it great again as if it were ever great oh that's what I want to do because TNA is that no TNA the initials the name he's already said that he would change the name on day one so if you get to change the name as let's say there's no tape library and you got wrestlers jumping ship what are you buying it doesn't make any sense to me now it looks like they're going to be filming a couple of episodes of impact next month from Matt Hardy's compound in North Carolina well I guess that's one creative way to get around having to pay for TV tapings oh let's go to Matt Hardy's house and tape TV I guess that could be the new zone of impact for them apparently they're planning something called tag-team Apocalypto some kind of tag team tournament where they they actually do legit invite teams from outside TNA to come and be part of this thing it'll be a Falls Count Anywhere match I guess on the grounds of the compound which I admit actually does sound kind of fun broken matt has invited the Bucs of youth he's invited the Bulldogs who were British the Express to rock and roll's and the days of the new to take part in this in this match and Matt even tweeted that in Vince McMahon if meek man as he calls him allows the days of the new to appear he promises to make it appearance on McMahon's show hey if I'm Vince I say no well all Vince has to do is wait about two months if he can get Matt on his show anyway they're also planning the in-ring debut of max Sun King Maxell and a match I put that in air quotes here between Grado and smokin Joe Frazier this is how it ends this is how the story of TNA ends with a 16 month old making his in-ring debut and great o wrestling a kangaroo and yet it feels like a fitting end doesn't it it really does all the people that you've seen come and go during your time at TNA who's the one you most wish hasn't had to go atropos or hadn't left the door he was still here it's a hard question and one and it's a j-style you know there's so many that I miss I don't know anytime we get a chance to bring something back it's not just me that everybody gets really excited because you know what that even though they're not here we still feel like they're part of the family [Music] I don't need anybody to come in here and tell me [Applause] I've been here since day one in Nashville Tennessee and the asalaam busting my butt with a band of brothers just trying to make this and alternative for you to watch just trying to put this company on the map but boof Dixie Carter's daddy bought horror Rathlin company now there's been a sitting talk as there always is on the Internet of in the past of you know selling up if you like you trying to buy quick recap time which is just as much for me as any of you because I'm really confused - this is Billy Corgan is the frontman for alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins he also became the president of TNA earlier this year after loading the cash strapped promotion money to put on their shows this is Dixie Carter she's currently the owner of TNA holding ninety two point five percent of the company's stock she's not very good at running a wrestling promotion the latest persons have been deleted only the president of the company but first the context many Corgan don't pay any money multiple times have saved them from extinction he was convinced by Dixie Carter to loans and more money in exchange for becoming presidents of their company but in reality he was president only in name and Katherine TNA management continued to run the promotion behind his back even lines are talking about trying to sells as WWE which they're no longer doing because as the UK broadcaster of TNA showed on Tuesday by dropping Impact Wrestling anyone with any sense is getting the hell away from TNA well everyone apart from anthem entertainment the equity stake holders in TNA revealed in a press release the anthem has provided a credit facility to TNA to fund operations and for fixing carterville continuous chair of the company as well as her position on the board of managers Billy Corgan is no longer with the company it's official the loonatics have regained control of the asylum Grammy Award winner and multi-platinum musical artist Billy Corgan has joined Impact Wrestling out of all of this come together you know it's pretty crazy I was on tour with the pumpkins and Dixie had sent me a message DM on Twitter I came back and I got these little sad faces like why aren't you calling me back and next thing you know she was saying do you want to come down here talk to us about kind of joining our team which totally blew my mind so yeah we came down and Here I am that with everybody as I love it so much and I appreciate the great talents that are out in the world but to be you know basically invited in the major leagues is a dream come true most people would know Dixie and I've talked many many times for the years where she asked me you know seven years ago five years ago three years ago we sit at a table she thinks what do you think of the product not afraid to talk about my love of professional wrestling talk to everybody from The Wall Street Journal on down why I'm involved in professional wrestling because I believe in it I've had guys once told a story and got out in the press about arguing with Jerry Seinfeld about why he didn't like professional wrestling if it means I've got to be up at 3 in the morning going over roster reports and being involved in every level of teenage success I'm going to do that thank you everybody may I see see with your eyes not with your hands please we got all amigos here mr. pre-recorded I think we can trust the president of that wrestling now do you think you won by now there's been a fitting talk of as there always is on the Internet of in the past of you know setting up if you like you time the buyer I ever got the money okay I like by somebody else's company okay absolutely not I mean look I mean I'm a business woman first and foremost but this company is here to stay and if somebody were to come and be a part of making it bigger that may be something we'd consider thank God we don't have a lot of TNA to cover this week Billy Corgan reached a settlement with anthem sports and TNA good we went on Twitter he had this to say to just sign my settlement with TNA slash anthem I'll do a few interviews next week to spell out what is and is not in it but once again I appreciate those who have covered the story with balance the true story on TNA involves a lot of men and women I respect and appreciate both roster and crew and they deserve the best meanwhile Dixie Carter held a conference call with talent to brief them on what was going on I don't know why anybody would trust anything under this woman's mouth when she was asked about changes to the creative team she acknowledged that Dave LaDonna had quit the week before Billy Corgan was no longer with the company she said for now the team consists of John Gaborik Matt Conway has been there for a long time and Madison Rayne that's it that's all the TNA news for this week that's the shortest TNA segment in about a month and it feels so good Billy Corrigan's lawsuit against EA was thrown out and now TNA is back in business and there's no issues with the company but Mike Bennett actually was a Twitter when he found out about this and actually said back to bad business as usual obviously this means that Mike Bennett is not happy about the current stay at TNA and he's not the only one who's upset about it Mariya his wife who's also in TNA recently stated that she's retiring from wrestling soon he's actually going to go to college so now Mike Bennett and Maria are going to be quitting TNA soon and this is actually so much shocking to me with how much focus that has been on them over the past year someone needs to make sure that each and every week this is the best professional wrestling company on the planet it's not me Dixie Carter will be resigning from her position as chairman of Impact ventures although she will remain a minority stakeholder in the company she will no longer have any power at all whatsoever o influence over creative decisions or hiring decisions she's apparently not even welcomed backstage anymore so Dixie is done she's gone finally TNA is free to move on to the next Fresh Fit wait there's more the other big story which is that Jeff Jarrett one of the founding fathers of TNA and the Gold Rush of 2016 has returned to the company [Laughter] [Music] then we make impact rate bring some people back the music just created a very powerful provision and it all begins with an intruder who trespasses this is the story of how the Hardy Boys left TNA this week was meet or delete for the Hardee's and TNA Impact Wrestling both Matt and Jeff Hardy's contracts were up by the end of February and TNA are scheduled for their next batch of TV tapings from Thursday the 2nd of march through the sunday the broken once said as much himself tweeting yesterday it shall be an intriguing week for the professional wrestling industry where's the usual caption of him looking completely bonkers contract negotiations between the Hardy's and TNA have been going on for months with pro wrestling sheet reporting the two sides actually agreed to terms on a new one-year deal back in December bar a few minor changes the Hardy's have been waiting for the finalized offer ever since but this was around the time Impact Wrestling was undergoing a huge regime change backstage previous owners Dixie Carter was bought out by Anthem Sports & Entertainment who hired a TNA's original founder Jeff Jarrett as the promotion's executive producer all of a sudden impact head of creative John Gaborik the person along with former TNA president Billy Corgan who'd given the Hardy's free rein on their creative direction was replaced by Jeff Jarrett guys got some more and Dutchman's health the latter of whom was just named the new head of creative Matt and Jeff apparently kept checking in about their contract over the following weeks but were consistently given the runaround according to PW insiders TNA sources though the company tries to contact Jeff a week but did not have their communication returned then when the Hardy's lawyer told Impact Wrestling they now want the creative control caused and their new deals and that other companies were interested in them in stressing new president as northome respondents well tell them to go to WWE Jeff Hardy felt disrespected by TNA officials at this point and said he was no longer interested in resigning mats continue to negotiate but when they sent him a new contract it was now for two years and had a term snuck in where impact would get 10% of all his profits outside TNA a contract stipulation the company is reportedly making the norm although it was a big-money offer that would have seen the Hardys be one of the top paid if not being top paid act in the company the broken mat character makes a considerable amount of money from indie bookings and merchandise to give up 10% of that any lawyers opinion would make him a fool to sign both TNA in the Hardys reportedly wanted to work out a deal TNA wanted to keep their top act and the Hardys wanted to stay in the promotion but for whatever reason the two sides couldn't come to an agreement always once I have a clear and measured head max white Reby sky took to Twitter the shed like on those difficulties why try to do things the right way when you get booked and drama in return matt is a nice guy I'll keep this seeming tag team title belt hostage powder here now think what kind of negative changes and straight Curry would have to go down for us to leave she then threatened to meltdown impact tag team championship belts and turns them into gold hoop earring Matt himself then finally posted by fist with Impact Wrestling was delightful exceptional talent and no haru a great respectful team to work hard in tough time I wish Impact Wrestling all the best going forward especially the industrious talent I hope they're all treated with respect and fairness even when broken Matt leaves the company he's still in character and it all begins with intruder trespassing upon our property arresting Sheeta reporting that there's confusion over whether mat or TNA owned beginning mats I'd argue the contracting firm ownership over any names and characters he used in TNA PNA however cleaner gives them ownership over all intellectual property creation weirdly no one's arguing like their favorite Jeff Hardy's will own character the first tweet she sent out said lmao [ __ ] you guys at edy Nord homes at real Jeff Jarrett at Impact Wrestling more than happy to play this game and then an hour after that for at least 30 minutes or more she went on one unbelievable Twitter rant bashing Impact Wrestling she goes on to say can we just talk about how many times mats contract could have been broken due to numerous issues on TNA end and never made a fuss about but MF errs want to try and come at us now after the fact don't you have an ultra promote or some or I don't know a company to make great instead of acting like the petty little both of you are speaking of petty nice video package on TNA's history with no visual or mention of Jeff who gave his all for seven years or Kurt which y'all sure made sure to get those two ID shots of Jeff Jarrett in there lmao but it's just a business brother right petty everything those was have done for the company and you want to try and talk us for the sake of it literally no other reason except you mad lol and how about my husband leaving the eighth day after giving birth to make your TV tapings that's how dedicated this MFR was to the company how about how the three highest-rated TV segments of 2016 were financed by Hardee's solely to help the product and because they believed in TNA or all of the talking by JJ throughout contract negotiations and matt was still their professional and trying to make things work for 2017 oh and this the best part these M efforts trying to come after senior Benjamin lmao I can't senior Benjamin my dad's by the way was never paid a dime by the company and who was obviously never under contract not that those contract things mean anything to TNA until after they're over or until three days before they expire apparently funny thing is everyone who ever actually had anything to do with hashtag broken Matt Hardy has our backs on this what does that say to you damn near 20% of your roster leaving in the span of a week all citing the same reasons or none at all what does that tell you and then a fake just wish you well tweet from at Edie Nord home near hours before threatening to sue us such a fitting end man seriously you can't write this [ __ ] well TNA can't write this any writers worth it left - real cute how TNA can go radio silent for weeks with the exception of nonsensical drunk text from JJ but we get a two hour deadline to respond do you think this is taken lol I can't good luck explaining to your talent that their paychecks are late again because you're spending all your money suing the Hardee's and [ __ ] that out if you're wondering what we're going to do next hashtag watch ROH hashtag ROH 15th mark from Sheffield England with Dixie Carter grabbing Hulk Hogan's legs will be your go-to photo for the cover of the death of TNA book absolutely I stand by that 100% absolutely [Applause] [Music] quick answer are you impressed excited looking forward to with anticipation what's your emotion regarding Impact Wrestling no longer TNA I have not been as fascinated about watching a wrestling episode and as long as I can remember as much as I want to see this first show it seems like they you know it's a weird situation because the one thing that was never in doubt about that company was the size of the talent that was on the roster and in Jade and the Hardys Andrew Galloway and Bennett and Maria that six and six personalities who all were important pieces of that television show the last couple of years that are just calm and they brought in a lot of newer names some of whom have never gotten national television time like Kevin Matthews Ana RINO scum and guys like that and it seems like this weird amalgamation of independent wrestling and gfw with impact a lot of talents and storylines that were ongoing are going to be scuttled to the side a lot of new towns have to be tough to get over there's a lot of new personalities in and with all the things we're hearing about the shots that were taken at previous management and things like that it just seems so weird and unique I want to watch and kind of experience it for myself I'm not sure if we're looking at a dumpster fire or we're looking at like you know they're they're shooting a new direction right out of the cannon and it's going to be awesome I've heard great things about the TV from people who were there and I've heard things from people who were there that kind of shook their head and then hated it [Applause] [Music] - why are you going to buy that sweet little company that's based in Nashville Tennessee because they got the wrong people in charge of that company right and please save the business from Dixie Carter Stephanie's got more brains than Dixie Carter has know what I think if you buy it now there's a shot at fixing that company up because I know you will put the right people in charge of that company I don't know they're for sale so now but I'm sure if you offer them something I don't see 50 shot I mean they know you're loaded with money maybe [Laughter]

This video just does a lot to exaggerate the negatives and ignore the positives.

[u/Everhart2011]

January 2010 to Victory Road 2011 had very few positives. The Beer Money-Machine Gun Best of 5 was arguably the highlight, while Angle vs. Hardy from No Surrender is one of TNAs greatest matches. After the Hardy fiasco at Victory Road, things progressively got better and by the end of the year, TNA was a hot commodity. Forgetting the Claire Lynch garbage, 2012 was the best year of the Hogan era. 2013 started well, but kind of tanked in quality due to Aces and Eights not really having anyone of note aside from the legendary Bully Ray run. The fact that TNA survived 2014 is nothing short of a miracle. I'm not an active fan of Impact anymore, but good on them for turning the tide.

What was the rise exactly?

It ends on this oddly "I want to watch this new product they have to put out with all their stars leaving" comment... and that new product is the Impact we have today.
