It's just a matter of time in 2014. Care to take a guess?

I am sure I will get heat for this, but apparently I am the only person on the board who likes Impact. The only problem Imoact/TNA faces is that it lacks vision and is rehashing old WWE ideas, but look at what the wwe is offering-Batista, Brock Lesnar, yet ANOTHER John Cena title chase, Randy Orton is your champion and the New Age outlaws back on TV. At least TNA has a fresh face as their champion in Magnus. The HEEL Dixie Carter angle is stupid, but how many stupid wwe angles have we endured over the years?!

At least TNA has a fresh face as their champion in Magnus. I never thought I'd see the day someone would try to argue having Magnus as champion is a good thing because he's a fresh face. Nevermind the fact his in ring work is garbage, he sounds like he's in labor when he speaks and there is nothing about him that makes you think he's a star, at least he's new! Shit, I'll take every one of the old guys on WWE's programming as a top star over Magnus. TNA dropped the ball with so many people that this guy is their last hope. Pathetic. That said, TNA dies this year for sure if WWE leaves USA and the rumors of them negotiating to get back on Spike are true. Spike will gladly boot TNA off TV in favor of RAW and SmackDown because really, who wouldn't? And I think the bigger question is, if TNA gets booted off Spike, where are they going to go? Nowhere and from there, the company sinks into oblivion. The only difference between TNA and WCW is there's nobody in TNA that Vince would even want. Hell, Vince would have to buy the library in pieces. Spike owns Impact 05-present and TNA themselves own everything else and now that I think about it, I doubt Vince would go through the trouble.

He needs work, I grant, but its a HELL of a lot better than what WWE is offering. What do wehave that is even REOTELY worth watching over Mcmahon land? Bryan Danlielson feuding with Psycho hilibillies-CM pink, ne of their more talented wrestler, feuding with the shield, triple H and -joy of joys-the NEW age outlaws whose time was up over TEN YEARS ago. Then we have Big show feuding with Brock Lesnar and the RETURNNG Batista, someone who couldn't make it in MMA is back to do what?! TNA needs work, but WWE needs therapy!

so, you'd take AGAIN another Randy Orton, or *shudder* John Cena title reign vs Magnus?! Yes, I would. They're both beyond stale characters but they're both far better in the ring than Magnus. He's a ten year veteran, how much better is he really going to get? I'm so baffled when people try to argue that he can make progress. He's been wrestling since 2003 and he's been put with Doug Williams, Nigel McGuinness AND Samoa Joe. He's not improved considerably well in all of that time, where else can he go? but its a HELL of a lot better than what WWE is offering. I disagree. Brock Lesnar is one of the best acts in the business now, The Shield are awesome, Bryan Danielson is tremendous and WWE has tremendous match quality. What do wehave that is even REOTELY worth watching over Mcmahon land? Let's delve a bit further, shall we? Bryan Danlielson feuding with Psycho hilibillies Which while it was hot-shotted resulted in the most awesome RAW ending in a LONG time and got Bryan over like a motherfucker. CM pink, ne of their more talented wrestler, feuding with the shield, triple H and -joy of joys-the NEW age outlaws whose time was up over TEN YEARS ago. Are you trying to imply the Shield are bad? Because they are, other than maybe Tanahashi and Okada, the single best act in wrestling right now. I've never seen a bad Shield match, I can't count how many terrible Magnus matches I've seen. Triple H is fine in his role and I'm not bothered by the Outlaws. I've always liked them and frankly, Billy Gunn is more entertaining than the entire upper half of the card in TNA. Then we have Big show feuding with Brock Lesnar Which has a totally different dynamic to the feud than it did eleven years ago, plus it has Brock Lesnar so it's immediately watchable. and the RETURNNG Batista, someone who couldn't make it in MMA is back to do what?! Be better than Magnus. TNA needs work, but WWE needs therapy! WWE are fine right now, TNA are on their deathbed and have not one single redeeming quality. Their World Champion sucks, Dixie is a terrible on screen character (like 1999 Stephanie McMahon levels of horrible), the X-Division is a revolving door that involves Chris "still the same guy I was in 2003 because fuck progress" Sabin, their tag division is nonexistent and the match quality is at an all time low...I mean really, what's there to be optimistic about? At least WWE delivers good matches on TV (and even PPV occasionally) to offset the ridiculously stupid booking.

Quite simply TNA's future depends on what happens with the WWE's Television properties. If Spike is to pick up either Raw or Smackdown it will be the last nail in the coffin for TNA.
I can't think of any other network that will invest in TNA given the numbers they are producing for Spike. I guess we will all know TNA's future in the next couple of months.
On one hand I can see Dixie taking TNA over to England full time and trying to make a run over there before the company fully closes it's doors.
