ROH COO Joe Koff on rumors of Sinclair Broadcasting purchasing TNA

Koff told the PWInsider website on Thursday,

“I think it’s natural when one company is in trouble and there are bigger companies available to look at them as a business. I will say this about our company Mike. We do so many corporate acquisitions over the course of the year in so many different spaces. We just bought a complete channel – The Tennis Channel. We’re buying digital assets. We look at deals because we are a company that is looking for deals. One of the things I asked personally is, really, I don’t want to have a direct involvement in that. If they [Sinclair] feel, from a business standpoint, it’s a worthwhile deal to look at, of course I’m going to get involved in it. I think the rumors are just escalating because it seems logical and I think there’s a lot of people that want it to happen and a lot of people who are worried about it happening, but you know what, until it actually happens, it’s nothing. We can talk about all the speculation and all the naysayers [from when Sinclair purchased ROH] and ‘what do they know about wrestling?’ and all that stuff, you know, you just have to go with the flow with all this and not second-guess and be that guy.”

I could see Sinclair doing it just for the TV deal that TNA has here. I wonder if they did if they would keep TNA going as a seperate entity? If anyone buys TNA, the first thing they should do is rename the company and brand right away and start over. The TNA brand has such a bad image at this point, its the logical thing to do. The only thing is has going is that is has a history behind it.
