According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio (subscription required but recommended), the company’s financial picture isn’t as rosy.
Money is still needed to fund Bound for Glory, the pay-per-view (PPV) set to run this Sunday, Oct. 2, and the week of tapings for Impact that are planned to follow. Financing needs to be in place by this upcoming Friday, and while Meltzer confirms Billy Corgan is in the process of buying the company - providing that money and gaining a controlling interest in it - that deal has not gone down, and appears to be weeks away.
Dixie Carter still owns a majority of the company, and could sell to whoever she wants. That’s when Vince McMahon and WWE reportedly re-enter the picture. An offer from the Stamford, Connecticut-based company was previously characterized as a last option if other deals fell apart. Meltzer claims WWE’s offer is back on the table, which would indicate Carter is preparing for the scenario where her other options aren’t viable.
Will be interesting to see what will happen if this happens. With guys like Styles, Joe, Roode, and Aries more than likely lined up to have some nice-sized success in the company (it looks possible that Styles will main event WrestleMania), it makes sense that they would want their library.
I wonder, outside of Matt Hardy, who they would actually keep though.
