Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer is reporting that the Carter family wants to throw the towel in on TNA and sell the company to the highest bidder. There are parties interested in purchasing it, but no word yet on who they might be. Obvious candidates are Eric Bischoff, Jeff Jarrett, Viacom, and the WWE.
Dave Meltzer revealed the news on his radio show today that they've been wanting to get out of the wrestling business for several months now, after they've thrown everything at the company without any results.

Carters looking to sell TNA?

I remember watching the feud at the time and I looked it up as I was just as confused

What other wrestling promotions are televised these days? I'm sure there others beyond WWE and TNA - ROH springs to mind but I've never seen it on television here in the UK. If the WWE bought TNA, then that would be only the only product available to us (unless I'm wrong about what else is on) - wouldn't that be something of a monopoly?

Hmm, does monopoly ruling even apply here? I have no idea what I'm doing.

A lot of promotions like CZW (where I first was made aware of the brilliance that is Dean Ambrose) and I think ROH were shown on the Wrestling Channel here on Sky before it shutdown for some reason. Really enjoyed watching that.

CZW? Isn't that just a bunch of hairy blokes literally ripping chunks out of each other? Hardly wrestling from what I've seen.

Kurt Angle IMO. Simply put this guy is the best character of all time IMO. The irony of a legit wrestling champ, all American broken neck in the olympics still wins gold, who wears red white and blue, being a heel was brilliant.

Some people like to point at Rock vs. HBK being 'the feud that got away'. To me that'll always be Kurt vs. Taker - those two had more chemistry in the ring together than anybody

The Cena v Sandow match on Monday night was actually pretty good, if still massively predictable.
