This announcement is speculative, & is not coming from the WWE camp. It is from an ex-pro wrestler, & he says the purchase will be due to the extensive tape library that Impact Wrestling now possesses, & that Vince can market for website paid membership. Vince shut down WCW when he bought it out, so if he buys Impact, don't look for it to continue.Last edited by hifrommike65; 02-05-2018 at 09:38 AM.

The former TNA league has had so many ups and downs, as well as network changes, over the years. The six-sided ring was what made them unique and they went away from it for a few years when Hulk Hogan came on board and they started another Monday Night Wars-type fiasco. That didn't work, either, and they have been spinning their wheels ever since.
If Vince does buy it, I agree with the article that it would be for their library. He wouldn't run it as a separate league and just swallow up the talent, similar to what the UFC has done when purchasing PRIDE, Strike Force, etc.
With the WWE online network, the WWE has a great platform for archives and this would be a nice addition.
