TNA Wrestling has been purchased by Kurt Angle on the 1st of July 2016 from Dixie Carter & Co. It's no shock to the wrestling world that the company has been sold, they've been in financial trouble for the last year and have been reviewing offers across the last 6 months, with, alleged, offers from WWE, Anthem and Jeff Jarrett but in todays breaking news Kurt Angle has returned with full ownership of the company.

 

Kurt had been out of the company since January for the first time in 10 years after his contract expired, he was apparently holding out for a return to WWE and had been touring the world wrestling Cody Rhodes at multiple independents promotions. Kurt has been vocal about enjoying his time in TNA throughout his interviews in the past but was not pleased with the current direction as of January when he parted ways. With full control over the company it is unsure if he will return as an in-ring competitor, be noted as the owner on-screen or if he will simply work in a backstage role.

 

TNA is currently coming off of Slammiversary, historically the companies 2nd most prestigious event of the year. The PPV was solid, if not mundane due to the lack of buzz around the company in recent months with many stars leaving such as Kurt Angle (now returned), Bobby Roode, Eric Young and a few are rumored to be in touch with WWE currently. The full results of Slammiversary can be viewed below:

With this news coming out we have tried to get word from Kurt on the acquisition but so far have not heard any response. It is interesting though the company have started advertising for Destination X as of yesterday on their Social Media platforms. It will definitely be interesting to see how the next few weeks play out as we expect a lot of news to be coming from the TNA camp and we aim to get an interview with Kurt Angle or somebody within the organisation for an update for you all.</p></div>

OOC: Shoutout to steesh07 for the RWC Redux 2016 mod he's recently released which will be the base for this Diary. I may be adding some wrestlers I've noticed weren't in at the time but honestly it's been great so far and the skin/graphics are tremendous.

 

I won't be stopping the Sam Keith Presents: Project EVE diary but I've been thinking about this diary for a while and thought I'd give it a shot + gives me a chance to try a different style!

 

As always thanks for reading and any suggestions/criticsms are welcome!
