TNA's potential sašÆle has a new wrinkle, as another company could beĀ interestš¦ed in buying Total Nonstop Action.
According to the , there is an unnamed companyź¦¦ that wants to get into the professional wrestling business, as ROH parent companyĀ Sinclair Broadcasting and WWE are also reportedly šinterested in buying the company.Ā
WWE's primary focus on acquiring TNA appears to be for their video library. WWE typically pays $500 per hour of footage. Severalš WWE stars have had long careers in TNA, including Samoa Joe, WWE World ChampionĀ AJ Styles and Austin Aries. Sinclair wants TNāA'sĀ international television deals in India and England.
As for the mystery company, according to the Observer, they want to work with several non-WWEĀ United States promotions,Ā āas well as international promotions in terms of talent usage and run live events.Ā This mystery company would be making more moves than simply just bušying TNA.
Arlouxe is still a potential buyer asĀ they are also the creditorĀ that TNA owes the most amount ofĀ money to. There are those involved with the company that feel with all the debt that TNA has acquired in theąµ² past several years, theyĀ may be forced into bankruptcy. Despite Dixie Carter still owning 70% of the company, she is not making decisions for the company as BillyĀ Corgan'sĀ new role as TNA President and head of day-to-day operations gives him that spot.Ā Carter is looking to sell her 70% stake in the company betweenĀ $4 million and $6 million.
Even with the possibility of the company being bought out, there anĀ issue with finding a new revenue stream. TNA has had issues with paying it's employees on and off for yearsĀ andĀ Corgan had to bail the company out of a big short term debt that would have preventeš d them from holding this year's Slammiversary show.Ā The average TNA televisionĀ taping costs $600,000 to $800,000.
