TNA is in trouble. Big trouble. The company may not survive past October when their contract runs up with Spike TV. They have a few international deals still going for them, but the cash theyre bringing in from that isnt likely to help them stay afloat. They could be sunk. Its not clear whether Spike and TNA are still in honest negotiations, which means Dixie Carter's biggest income source could soon dump them for more reruns of C.O.P.S (or something else equally as cheap!). At the end of the day, Dixie has no one to blame but herself. She was given tens of millions of dollars from her billionaire parents to run a wrestling organization, and she slowly ran it into the ground. Far more competent companies like ROH would have killed for the chance to land on Spike TV and receive the type of promotion that TNA has. For every minor gain that Dixie made, she spent far too much on talent who was past their prime, and failed to assemble a competent creative team. There have been countless errors that TNA has made since its horrifying birth on Wednesday night pay-per-views. These days you could probably watch an episode of Impact and point out half-a-dozen glaring errors in the first segment alone. But here, we take a look back from the companys inception and find the 10 biggest mistakes that may soon end up putting the company on its death bed. So put on your best funeral clothes, and lets take a look at what may end up killing TNA for good!
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
