This is where everything appears to stand right now for tonight’s TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view and this week’s subsequent TV tapings:
The New York Post reported that TNA had secured the funding from a third party (not Billy Corgan or WWE, and if it’s Aroluxe, they weren’t named) put up the money to fund this week’s shows, but Corgan and WWE will continue to be the ones negotiating with TNA. “A source familiar with the matter” told them that “No doors were closed,” while WWE had no comment on the situation and Corgan said that “It’s a go, as far as I’ve been told.” These tapings take TNA through December, so they’ve bought themselves quite a bit of time, hopefully enough to make a deal.
In Saturday’s Daily Update at Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline, Dave Meltzer reported that there will be an “internal meeting” before Bound For Glory about the status of the company. Historically, when TNA has had business issues in the past, the company has kept wrestlers in the dark and/or had various excuses for when there were problems, so just how upfront management is in the meeting is something to keep an eye on. That also goes for whoever’s running the meeting, especially since Corgan (who is the president of the company now) has been pretty open and Carter made a point of tweeting that she doesn’t respond to speculation.
