5 Pros and Cons of WWE Potentially Buying TNA Wrestling

Since the WWE Network launched in February 2014, the content has grown. It took a while for this to happen, as they had to feel out how this would work, which began with a loss of money and releasing wrestlers from their contracts. However, it got to a point where you can watch pretty much every old episode of Raw and SmackDown. Old wrestling shows can be viewed too, including every episode of WCW’s Monday Nitro.

The thousands of hours of content have helped the streaming service grow, with no end in sight. Part of the never-ending expansion would include acquiring TNA, which dates back to 2002. All those weekly pay-per-views and hundreds of hours of Impact Wrestling would fill a chuck of the WWE Network. It would draw in the TNA fanbase that is only paying the fixed price of $9.99 to see every old show that got put on. Why wouldn’t WWE want to do this? As the network subscribers grow, so does their pockets.

Use of TNA content for DVDs and TV can’t be left out either. WWE would be able to add in anything from the company’s 14-year existence, referencing the show as well (which they can do, but choose not to). If WWE wanted to make a new DVD for Sting, instead of just highlighting his WCW career, they could use anything from and talking about his TNA stay.

Acquiring all this content would make Vince and Co. salivate, and provide more easily accessible wrestling for fans to watch, for a price.
