7. Soon?
https://twitter.com/TNADixie/status/532689775153905665 You gotta feel for all the men and women who currently work for TNA (and perhaps anyone who has ever worked for them). The companys contract with Spike TV is rapidly approaching its end date. Their run of fresh material is almost up. Were soon going to have to rely on best of episodes (so basically a half hour of Samoa Joe vs. Angle, a Motor City Machine Guns match, and some X-Division stuff from 2004) to fill out the rest of the year. There are no future house shows announced, which means their talent isnt making money. There are rumors claiming that management has been leaving the talent in the dark. Dixie Carter is probably trying to broker a deal and has to work some things out, but shes the leader and failing incredibly at her job to give her employees any confidence. Even Bully Ray seemed to take a shot at her on Twitter this week. For some reason, Dixie is instead responding to random people. When a Twitter user asked her when we would be hearing news of a new TV deal, she simply responded Soon. Even if there is a new deal signed, theres no hope that this is going to end up well. Whether they end up on Destination America, Spike TV, WGN, or at a parking lot behind KMart, it just feels like this company is inevitably doomed with Dixie at the helm.

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.
