They could buy TNA if they get enough money. Although TNA doesn't have to accept to a money offer. If they do, TNA will be owned by the WWE. They could either broadcast TNA with only WWE wrestlers, make a 4th separate brand called TNA, along with ECW, SD! and RAW, or they could just destroy it forever. If WWE has TNA owned, it is theirs to do whatever they like with it. Personally, that is what I like because too many former WWE fans are going to TNA nowadays and so many WWE wrestlers also.

I agree, I don't see this happening in the near future, if at all. TNA has a great following and is growing in popularity. While still a WWE fan, I very much enjoy the product TNA put out. Again, competition is what fueled the Monday Night Wars. Long live TNA!

Not anytime soon. TNA is no threat to Vince and won't be until TNA gets a 2nd hour and builds its audience enough to affect the WWEs ratings and PPV buyrates (and that won't happen unless Impact goes head to head with a WWE show). Even if it is a threat, TNA wouldn't sell because TNA would be successful at that level. Only reason to want to sell is financial trouble, and probably wouldn't be unless NWA couldn't continue operating without the tv deal, and they don't have to sellto/ take an offer from Vince if they don't want to.
Vince knows right now his main competition is the UFC. There is a lot of crossover in the fan demographic, and UFC is destroying them in PPV buy rates. Part of the reaction to that is Vince hiking up the WWE PPV rates across the board to compensate for the lower buy rate numbers.
The only radar that TNA shows up on is in the area of talent. Vince knows that if he can't sign his stars to new deals, they can potentially go to TNA.

i seriously hope not
wwe is getting lazy and predictable, seriously i can watch the first 10 minutes of smackdown and know whats gonna happen in the next hour and 50 minutes. and dont get me started on the main event, i mean honestly how many sd main events have been a tag match.
Now that TNA has been growing so much ( nearly beating wwe in ratings so much ) wwe is going to have to step up its game.
Its like when two similar shops open they get into a pricing war for customers as in the prices lower and lower and so on. Just like that, wwe and tna will have to put on a great show every night where as if wwe buys tna we can expect the same predictability that wwe has on tna( look what happened to ecw )
good question
HOO RAH

like the first guy said not in the near future but i dont think that going to happen there going to start this war then it going to go back to the 90's and wwe might come out the victor again but i'm not sure because all of these guys like RVD and Paul Heyman Subu and Tommy Dreamer dont like this new ECW and they might switch to TNA where it more exciting then wwe cause wwe is getting boring and nothing is different you can predict anything that WWE do right before they do it. Awesome Big Show is in talks that he might go to TNA. VKM is goingto start the war

no, not in the near future TNA are still trying to beat wwe in ratings and fans, unfortunatly for them, but good for us wwe fans they are fighting a loosing battle!
anything can happen though, just look how defiant WCW were standing against wwe then one morning we woke up and BAM wwe had purchased WCW.
I believe that in time WWE will branch out further and buy TNA,
remember anything can happen in the WWE, but honestly i don't see any negotiations taking place anytime soon!
i hope this helps

Absolutely not. Dixie Carter runs TNA & she's a solid business-woman. She's just negotiated a contract with Spike tv on prime-time that puts TNA on a firm footing.They regularly sell-out their ppv's & tv ratings are strong. Why would she feel the need to sell out to a competitor especially after the totally woeful ECW ppv Dec. to D'member?

Not while Dixie Carter is alive.
TNA have been more successful in 3 and a bit years than WWE.F were in their 1st 3 yrs, that's for darn sure.
TNA have good talent who work hard and are there as an alternate employer to those who no longer want to kiss Vince's ***.
