Here's some pics from their Bound For Glory PPV, which is basically their Wrestlemania. Been talk for a while now of them having financial issues and internal problems in the company. Is this a standard turnout for their events, cause it looks pretty bad to me.

Nick went to the show on a press pass. It we had. Aaron went to the tv tapings in Little Rock and said it was even worse. TNA is screwed on the road. Good thing they're going back to Orlando (I can't believe I just typed that).

How are they affording to pay the wrestlers? No wonder Hogan is trying to reach a deal with Vince.

They've been cutting a lot of guys, and there were reports that they were paying some people late. Latest rumors are the company is for sale.

Not surprising at all seeing these pics.

Billy Corrigan of Smashing Pumpkins fame seems to be the most likely to buy TNA in part, at least. Could be happening soon enough.

Whoever does buy it, first thing they need to do is change that horrible name. Nobody can take a company named TNA seriously.

I'd bring a new creative/booking group as well. Start fresh. There have to be some veteran guys out there that could take it over and do well with it, guys that were in hot angles during their primes.

I think TNA should permanently go by IMPACT Wrestling. Shame there are probably several Impact Pro and Impact Championship indie companies out there already. Wonder if they could recycle the Full Impact Pro name...

Impact sounds good. I'm sure if they wanted the Impact name they could pay whatever indie company for the name, or at least use a slightly modified title. That would be a great start. I'd distance myself from the TNA brand and company if I bought it.

Impact is a great name, but like you guys said, pretty sure a million companies have a similar sounding name.
There's a lot of guys they could do without, so a major roster overhaul is needed. A new creative team is an absolute MUST. They need to be a real alternative instead of Attitude Era WWE light.

I know there was FIP, but if TNA decided to go back to focusing on the X-Division as they should, making it about NO LIMITS~! again, they could adopts HIP Wrestling, High Impact Pro, and keep the show titles Impact, maybe modify it to Impact Pro.
Tenay welcoming everyone to IMPACT PRO would sound good...

You know what would sound even better? Not having Mike Tenay and Taz on commentary.
