Speculation that WWE could buy TNA's tape library if they fail to find another network for their programming is certainly high.

 

F4WOnline.com is reporting that WWE would be looking at around $500 per hour of footage and with TNA having around 1,000 hours of footage for just Impact Wrestling that would amount to $500,000, money WWE doesn't have to spare at the moment with their on-going budget cuts.

 

TNA will reportedly find it a lot harder to find a network now they do not have Hulk Hogan on their roster, he had huge pulling power with the media.

Does WWE really have any need to buy their footage?  Is TNA footage a selling point for the WWE network?

 

I have never been a fan of TNA.  It may have had some great talent and the odd glimmer of greatness, but it's always felt like a poor-mans substitute.  However, going out of business will be bad for the industry.

If TNA go out of business I see WWE getting some of the talent with the rest going to Japan and ROH/Indies

I think it would be a bonus for when they do the documentary/superstar DVDs to have some TNA footage

What did you think of the Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak being broken?

 

It sucked! Honestly, I thought it sucked. I haven't really talked much about it but I think it was a bad decision, a horrible decision. I don't have any say in the matter but to me, watching as a fan, it made me sick. Brock Lesnar beating him didn't seem to work and it really wasn't good that Brock left the day after. I just don't see how that made sense at all. I don't think anyone wanted to see the streak broken and it just didn't make sense to me.

Bleeding girls will never work on TV. Also i don't understand why they push their bodies into such horrible treats; while chairs and garbage bins work because it's silly, nails and such can be incredible dangerous and provoke unnecessary damage.

Sports entertainment mogul Vince McMahon, after enjoying some adult beverages in his Connecticut mansion last night, impulsively decided to purchase Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, ?just for kicks.?

 

McMahon carried out the entire transaction through PayPal, transferring an undisclosed sum of money (presumed to be at least $5,000) to Panda Energy International, the parent company of TNA.

 

The purchase included TNA?s old six-sided ring, which McMahon intends to convert into a backyard hot tub.

While he was still ?feeling spendy,? McMahon also bought the first four seasons of Breaking Bad on Blu-Ray and a new set of gaudy blazers before passing out on the couch.

 

McMahon says he does not intend to fire any TNA wrestlers yet, because ?they might come in handy at WrestleMania as The Undertaker?s druids.?

 

McMahon later insisted that he wasn?t drunk due to alcohol at the time of the purchase, but merely ?drunk with power, as usual.?

Shame about RIcardo. Always thought he'd make an awesome in-ring performer for WWE if ever given the chance. And the crowds loved to get behind him. Not sure why WWE never went with that, but whatever.

 

As for Russo, after listening to him on the Wrestle Reaction show and a couple other interviews, I've come to respect him alot more personally, and as a wrestling guy. He knows his ######, that's for sure. And while he's obsessive about things (he has OCD) he is also a damn good booker imo. Some of the schtick he did write was bad, but that was when he didn't have someone checking him and countering him.

 

Hmmm, same thing could be said about Vince McMahon the past 10 years or so...interesting.

 

I'd really, really love to see Russo back in WWE again. If Bret Hart and Ultimate Warrior etc can all return, so can Russo. He'd be a great addition to creative, and he'd certainly bring a breath of fresh air in that small group. Then again, he'd probably just do a Money in the Bank Briefcase on a Pole match...or something.

The latest word on Sting and WWE is that they are hopeful to get a talent contract signed before SummerSlam. Sting is coming to Los Angeles for SummerSlam weekend but is not currently scheduled for the show itself.

Sting currently has deals with Mattel and 2K Sports but not a wrestling deal with WWE. Talk of Sting signing with WWE has become a running joke, among fans and wrestlers, because the two sides are basically in the same spot they were in when talks first started getting serious in January.

Sting has had talks with Vince McMahon before but never met him in person. Their first meeting will likely come during SummerSlam weekend.

i think Sting has some contracts that he must honor thus preventing him from signing to WWE...

 

hope someone films Sting meeting Vince and showing him the bat and a poker face...with Vince crapping his pants on.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
