Yep. Theyd end up with a ton of the talent for WWE and AEW anyways if both tanked. Could be pretty interesting.

It would depend. There would be a lot of talent available which could allow for another promotion to really benefit. Or it could be TNA or AEW 2.0. My interest would be piqued. WWE and AEW going out of business alone would be a story to follow. I don’t know how anyone else even survives.

Scott Da' More is the booker? Hell no.

I didn't watch them when they were on Spike TV.

TNA hasn't been good since the Asylum years. Even then Jeff Jarrett was clashing heads with Russo.

They would have to hire Vince Russo and give him full creative control or find some new writer. Sticking to these same old guys who only know wrestling is obviously not working for any promotion.

The question presumes that whatever caused WWE and AEW to go under didn't occur to an infinitely smaller promotion.

Nothing will ever kill Impact. It will survive until the end of time.

Its hard to really say. I answered "no" because I've no interest in Impact and haven't for years.


It would all depend on what talent goes where and what they do with them I guess. Definitely not brand loyal to any company, I'll watch what I find entertaining. Also, WWE's current camera work makes it nearly insufferable, beyond the already boring weekly stories or whatever.


Still find it best when watching only the PPV's

Not entirely because of Christian, but it certainly helped... I think TNA was consistently putting on a better show than WWE, and than what AEW does now, back around 2006-2008.... but it wasn't "cool" or "trendy" to like the WWE alternative at the time....

Ah I was just ribbing you over your Christian love. He does alright in the ring, but good god he's a star graduate of the Lance Storm school of Charisma. He was far better with Edge, as their dynamic played well off one another.


Honestly didn't watch TNA closely enough to understand their failures or the ins and outs of what led to their downfall.


Is it "cool" to hate on WWE now, or is everyone just done with their same ole crap because it would seem there is a viable alternative?


Personally, I don't have any hate for WWE at all, they just bore the everliving fook outta me. Also feel like comparisons will unfairly be made to any other competitor outside of WWE. People feel it to be "the standard" because they've been the only game in town for a while.


I've not watched either weekly show (AEW or WWE) for a couple months now as I am not paying for a service which carries them. I will continue to watch PPV's for my mother in law who loves it, but my interest is not there. By comparison, AEW's last PPV really had me interested to watch. Nothing more, nothing less.

And hopefully they'd be on a channel I get in this scenario.
