Are people always gonna be interested in McMahon and crew, or is pro-wrestling destined to end up a low common denominator product TNA proudly provides for the niche sperg market? Is the WWE on their way to do like IFC Studios and just eke out a living cranking out crappy horror movies straight to DVD & Blu-ray?
But on the other hand, could TNA finally firing Hulk Hogan also change this? If the competition is so pathetic, then the WWE obviously wouldn’t need a reason to go back to their former glory! Would outside influence change things rather than their own effort?

TNA World Hvt. champion Kurt Angle, 42, says he’s not completely ruling out a transition to MMA, and how he fares trying out for the 2012 Olympics could determine his future.
“That remains to be seen. Depending on how good I do, I can’t say no. Obviously, it’s going to raise Dana White’s eyebrows,” Angle said on the Yahoo-affiliated MMAWeekly radio show this week promoting the “Warrior” MMA-themed movie.
“My goal is to make the team…Let’s see what happens, and I’m not counting out Bellator either. They’re going to be on Spike soon and you never know what’s going to happen with that company.”
Angle also recalled being in contact with UFC president Dana White in 2009 when he was considering leaving TNA due to personal issues with Jeff Jarrett and his ex-wife, now Karen Jarrett. Angle claims his health wasn’t the issue. Rather, not being able to work out the schedule for Angle’s debut fight.
“I contacted Dana White again after the movie (in 2009), I was thinking about dropping out of Impact Wrestling, and there were some personal problems with my marriage and everything. I just wanted to get away and I contacted Dana White, I flew out, and he had me take the UFC physical. I passed it, thank God, and he gave me the offer. The terms weren’t good – not for me and not for him,” Angle said.
For the majority of the interview, Angle talked in-depth about his acting aspirations. He said he’s hopeful his recent roles in “Dylan Dog” and now in “Warrior” will open up the door for more important roles in future movies.
