2. Money Issues

Over the last three years, no issue has been of greater concern to TNA than money. More specifically, the lack thereof. The well has gone dry countless times in that span of time but, somehow, the company has repeatedly secured enough financing to get them through.

Most recently, the lack of funding nearly prevented them from carrying out one of their signature pay-per-view offerings, Slammiversary.

According to a report by PWInsider.com, TNA Chief Financial Officer Dean Broadhead went public with the company's problems, posting to his private Facebook page out of frustration.

TNA Chief Financial officer and Chief Operating Officer Dean Broadhead posted on his personal Facebook page this weekend about how he had to secure "interim financing" with just 12 hours to spare for TNA's "production trucks to roll" for Sunday's Slammiversary pay-per-view, and presumably tonight's semi-live Impact Wrestling episode.

Various reports have suggested that new ownership is imminent but that Dixie Carter will remain a president of the company. Whether that ever actually comes to fruition or if the company simply folds remains to be seen.

What is painfully obvious is that the value of the company decreases more and more with every revelation of just how scattered, unstable and insecure things are behind the scenes.
