I just wonder, when you're that deeply entrenched, what excuses people like that are going to make when/if TNA inevitably folds. Is it THEN Dixie's fault? Or does the failure of her company only martyr her that much more?

If TNA goes under it's because people were too negative about the product and didn't give it a shot. Everyone bought into Slave Shitzer's dirtsheet lies and couldn't see the greatness that was TNA.

"The market" or some sort of non tangible "people won't do things because" concept will probably blamed, also the competiton was unfair and the monopoly of the WWE can't leave breath to smaller but trustful american companies, seriously can't the congress do something about large multinationals taking on our companies, gosh.

Oh, honey. No. "Hard decisions" is mediaspeak for damage control.

And yet the longer there's no news, the more he'll build himself up to think it's good news. He'll convince himself that HBO will be running Impact in an unopposed block with Game of Thrones, or that Dixie secured a deal with Comcast to beam Impact directly into people's skulls.

IN PRINT, btw. Therefore it is binding. It is law. It is legend.

that's the real kicker. it's clear that any of these guys never seem to poke their heads outside tnamecca or tnasylum otherwise they'd understand stuff like that all these pr buzzwords are bullshit, people in high ranking corporate positions lie constantly (even in print!), and businesses die slow lovely deaths all the time.

but the line between wrestling logic and real world logic is clearly blurred on those sites....

Honestly a mostly staged Honey Boo Boo style "broken people reality show" on TLC would be a thing that could legit save TNA. A well set up cheap reality show makes tons of cash and even if they ran Impact at 6 on a Friday it would probably be more popular than it is right now. Those TLC shows like "bear country meat delivery" or whatever make an ungodly amount of cash from marketing, I'm pretty sure at this point the Duck Dynasty people are millionaires just from T Shirt sales.

Definitely. As long as I dont have to watch two hours of the actual wrestling, just the slow descent into indy house show hell, like a weekly Beyond The Mat.
