Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is set to become a minority owner of TNA Wrestling, according to PWInsider.com.
According to sources close to the situation, Corgan has agreed to invest significant funds to become a minority owner in the Nashville-based promotion – and the deal may already be a done deal.
Corgan joined TNA back in April of 2015 and currently serves as Senior Producer of Creative & Talent Development. The investment shows that he believes TNA will get through this rocky period. Corgan’s willingness to accept a minority stake allows Dixie Carter to retain controlling interest, a negotiating sticking point that led to a breakdown to negotiations with other buyers.
TNA’s twelfth annual Slammiversary pay-per-view takes place tonight from the Impact Zone in Orlando, FL.
– Jeremy Borash is in the ring and the entire TNA roster is on the stage for a moment of silence for the lives lost in this weekend’s attack in Orlando.

The Helms Dynasty members go to work on Edwards together until DJ Zema gets back in the game and lays them both out with a double flying back elbow. Everett and Lee start getting in each others’ faces, which leads to Edwards hitting a double dropkick on them and taking control.

– TNA World Champion Drew Galloway tweeted the following on tonight’s Slammiversary PPV from Orlando, where he will defend against Lashley in the main event:

Drew Galloway predicts that Roman Reigns will be one of the biggest stars ever in wrestling, but he’ll need some time. In an interview with Sports Illustrated to promote tonight’s Slammiversary pay-per-view, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion praised WWE’s World Heavyweight Champ, saying that Roman is “such a talented guy.”
“People can see that he’s been protected a lot, which is understandable. If I was in a position of power, I’d put him in the exact same spot,” Galloway said of how Reigns is being written on WWE TV. “But it takes years to truly get over and get the fans fully behind you.”
Galloway says the fans have to go on a journey with a wrestler’s character of time in order for the character to truly “get over.”
“I won the [WWE] IC title, they saw 3MB, and it really does take a long time for people to get to know you. Truly getting over is a lot different than just getting a reaction, and time is what it takes,” Galloway said. “I understand that now. A couple years from now, or after he comes back from an injury, Reigns is going to be one of the biggest stars ever.”
Galloway also talked about another big star in wrestling, one who he calls his “hero,” Bret Hart. Galloway says Hulk Hogan may have been the “larger than life character,” but Bret was his favorite because he “wasn’t phony.” Galloway says Hart told compelling stories inside of the ring, and that’s “the most genuine thing in this business.” He also listed William Regal and Fit Finlay as other talent he really respects.
TNA wrestler Jeff Hardy says he wants to end his career back in WWE. In an interview with Sports Illustrated to promote Sunday’s Slammiversary PPV, Hardy explained that his in-ring days are winding down and he would like to finish his career in his old stomping grounds for a WrestleMania.
“I know I’m getting close to the end. I can feel my body telling me something,” Hardy said of his wrestling career. “I don’t know how much longer I’ve got, and naturally I would love to end with a WrestleMania, and I would love to have a Hell in a Cell. That’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’ve always wanted to headline ‘Mania.”
The former TNA and WWE World Heavyweight Champion revealed that he was inspired by Shane McMahon’s big dive off the cage at WrestleMania 32, and he’s planning to top it “in his own way” as soon as this Sunday.
“Watching Shane, I knew I could top that. Every time I watched Shane, I was inspired to do something better,” he said. “I’m planning something big for Sunday. I’ll take my own path and do it my own way.”
TNA’s twelfth annual Slammiversary pay-per-view takes place this Sunday, June 12 at the Impact Zone in Orlando, FL.
Another layer has been added the reports of TNA’s financial turmoil and possible corporate takeover. The PWTorch Newsletter recently reported that Aroluxe Marketing has officially taken ownership of the name “TNA.” Dixie Carter’s company still owns the names “Impact Ventures,” “TNA Entertainment,” and “TNA Wrestling.”
Despite Aroluxe now doing business under the name “TNA,” Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports that as of Saturday morning Dixie Carter is still the majority owner of the wrestling promotion.
Aroluxe Marketing, and mainly their employees Ron & Don Harris, have been handling TNA’s production and the company has fronted money to TNA to fund their TV tapings. Aroluxe has also been assigned TNA’s payroll duties, and will continue working on the production for Impact Wrestling.
When the news broke of Aroluxe’s possible takeover back in April, fans began tweeting Pop TV executives with photos of the Harris brothers sporting Nazi-themed tattoos and t-shirts. This could lead to major public relations problems for TNA, as once photos like that hit the internet they never disappear.
Maria Kanellis announced on Thursday night that she will be unable to compete against Gail Kim this Sunday at TNA Slammiversary due to a broken hand.
ImpactWrestling.com reports, “We were informed that discussion were on-going and that TNA’s Billy Corgan will be running point on this developing situation.”

TNA is reportedly in the process of locking in several of their biggest stars to new contracts. According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newseletter, TNA is currently negotiating new deals with Matt and Jeff Hardy, Bobby Lashley, and Drew Galloway.
The company, which is reportedly in financial peril and possibly on the verge of new ownership, wants to lock those names in to exclusive deals that would allow them to control the talents’ outside bookings and earn commissions from them.
Back in May it was reported that TNA wanted to sign stars to exclusive deals in order to raise the company’s value in the event of a sale. Caleb Konley, Sienna, Crazzy Steve, Robbie E and Jessie Godderz all re-signed with the company early last month.
Meltzer previously reported that TNA was months behind on paying some of their behind-the-scenes staff, and was in negotiations with three possible buyers. Company president Dixie Carter reacted to the reports in an interview, saying “There’s so much incorrect information out there about the financial situation of TNA.”
TNA World Champion Drew Galloway spoke with Channel Guide Magazine this week to promote Sunday’s TNA Slamiverary PPV. Here are some highlights of what he said about:
Why fans should give TNA a chance:
“Everyone has really found their character and there are some exciting feuds going on. It’s not just one thing going on. There are a lot of unique characters and stuff going on creatively right now. I think this has been the strongest we have been in a while. I think for anyone who hasn’t given TNA a chance recently, I say for you to give it one shot. I guarantee it will change your mind because I genuinely believe in the product. I wouldn’t just say that.”
Sunday’s match against Bobby Lashley:
“I think we will be turning heads with this PPV. I love the chance to work with Bobby. I work a physical style myself. A lot of times, it’s me being the aggressor. Now I’m going against a guy who is bigger, faster, stronger this time. It’s really something to sink my teeth into and a chance to get everyone’s attention. I’m trying to create that believability in all my matches. But here you have the most believable guy. I never treated a match with him like a pro wrestler. I treat them like the beast he is. When you are against a guy like a Bobby Lashley, you have to be smart because he can snap a leg in one second. I treat him with that respect. I think it will increase the believability of it all because he is a legit as it gets.”
Recent WWE departures:
“For selfish reasons, I just want to be around all my friends. The reality is there are such talented guys out there right now. You have Cody [Rhodes], who is starting his plan. He is a smart guy and starting to plant the seeds. He is going to be just fine like I was. Damien Sandow is already getting himself out there. Whatever he decides to do, he will do well. Wade [Barrett] and I are very close friends. He is taking time out and enjoying the first bit of time off he has had in a while. You never know where he will turn up. So, selfishly, I would like to be around all my buddies. They would be massive assets to any company.”

TNA president Dixie Carter was recently interviewed by Renjith Ravindran for the Fan Garage during her trip to India. Carter spoke on the recent rumors of TNA’s financial problems, saying there’s a lot of incorrect information out there. Carter pointed to recent international partnerships as a sign that great things are happening in the company.
“You can’t react to the rumors about the financial situation. That’s the difficulty about being in my position. There’s so much incorrect information out there about the financial situation of TNA,” Carter said. “We are putting out some of the best television our company has ever put out and if you watch it you can tell, great things are happening to our company. We just announced some associations in the Middle East, we just announced Vietnam and a lot of similar announcements are rolling out.”
On the subject of signing former WWE stars, Carter says the company is still keeping an eye on what free agents are on the market. Carter put over TNA’s home-grown talent, saying her roster and their wrestling are the best in the business, and mentioned EC III, Rock Star Spud, Eli Drake and Bram.
“They’ve grown so much but I think we also did a fantastic job with people like Drew Galloway who was at the WWE and came in and completely relaunched himself,” Carter said. “There are definitely some incredibly talented wrestlers on the market right now and some will be available at some part of this year. And I do see ourselves talking to them. I think it would be exciting to bring a few into TNA.”
This week’s TNA IMPACT Wrestling episode, featuring a Ladder Match with Jeff Hardy vs. Tyrus and Spud, drew 359,000 viewers.
This is up from last week’s 311,000 viewers.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com landed an exclusive interview with POP TV President Bradley Schwartz, who spoke for 20 minutes about the network’s relationship with TNA, Impact Wrestling’s future on Pop TV and much more. The audio is available only to “Elite” subscribers of PWInsider – click here for more details.
Here are some quick highlights of what they covered:
– Schwartz said Pop TV’s relationship with TNA is “amazing.” He loves the show and has a great working relationship with Dixie Carter.
– He feels that the Impact is the best wrestling product on television. From the characters to the in-ring action – it’s an amazing thing to watch.
– The conversation shifted to TNA’s future on the network. Many wrestling news sites picked up on the fact that Pop TV did not mention TNA during their recent “upfronts” pitch to advertisers, leading to speculation that Impact was in jeopardy of being dropped. Schwartz said that Impact isn’t going anywhere. It’s the 2nd highest-rated show on the network and he doesn’t know of too many networks dumping their 2nd highest rated show. They have a longterm deal and Impact will stay where it is for the foreseeable future.
There’s a lot more to the interview, head over to PWInsider.com to check it out.
