Even if someone puts up enough money for BFG and maybe the tapings aren't they in so much debt that they'll still have to find a buyer immediately to avoid going under?

You'd think if someone put up the money for BfG they're just going to use that as a final show, but then again, TNA

Borash could probably do the whole PPV from the Hardy compound for like $500 so it won't take much for something to air on Sunday.

It would keep them going until the next tapings I guess.

They're obligated to tour India before the year is up as well.

Yeah, if it happens it doesn't mean they're off the hook by any means. It just means Sunday happens

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
TNA is agonizingly wheezing its last, but I believe it still has one last eruption of poo poo left before it finally dies.

My guess is they string everyone along until about 6pm Sunday before shutting it down.

Do wrestlers pay for their own flights? I would never throw down a few hundred to TNA unless they paid my check in advance at this point

If it wouldn't be a terrible thing for them, the talent flying in only to find out the show's been cancelled would be a fitting ending to TNA.

Congrats to Billy Corgan for funneling another large amount of money for probably an extra 5% stake in the company. Keep on living the dream, Billy.

I agree that TNA needs a massive overhaul with management, name, logo, etc. But, anyone who wants a viable place for wrestlers to work to cease to exist is an rear end in a top hat.

All the wrestlers I know and talk to regularly enjoy the company and love working there.

WCW was like a phoenix and TNA arose from its ashes as a pigeon. What rises from a loving pigeon's ashes because that's what TNA is, a pigeon.

Keyword there is 'viable.' Are wrestlers really better off having TNA as an option when TNA doesn't pay their wrestlers half the time?

This seems to be true of everyone currently employed and false for everyone previously employed.

I haven't heard anyone (wrestlers) not getting paid by TNA. Most of the late pay stuff I've read about was on the production side.

I am rooting for the backstage/production people to find better jobs that actually pay them

So are the Hardys going to go to the WWE when this is all over and done with? I can easily see them avoiding them entirely and migrating to Ring of Honor, especially if they keep their creative control intact.
