– TNA’s Bob Ryder tweeted the following on the report of Destination America canceling Impact Wrestling:
For almost 13 years some people have predicted we were about to go out of business. It's no more true today than it was then. #StandUp

Furthermore, TNA’s Billy Corgan went on Twitter and said Dave Meltzer, who broke the story, is being worked by a “sloppy angle.” Corgan wrote:
@ldangeli It wouldn't be so bad if the whole truth was being reported and the person reporting wasn't being worked himself by a sloppy angle

AND let's remember that I speak from experience, having had things written about me by Meltzer that he never got a statement from me about

We noted earlier that TNA issued a statement on the reports and shot them down, indicating that they would pursue legal action. Meltzer replied to the statement on Twitter responding to a fan:
@KevinGedert2 Why haven't they threatened me is the question. Why haven't they addressed one thing written?

Meltzer also compared Corgan to Vince Russo and the incident that happened last year when Russo accidentally e-mailed Mike Johnson of PWInsider:
Sort of sad about Corgan, his words are almost identical to Russo about Mike Johnson when he did that story last year.

I'll be fine being the Mike Johnson, but quite sad he's the Vince Russo.
