Janice Carter Issues Memo to TNA Employees Regarding Sale Rumors

As we previously reported, the Carter family may be looking to sell TNA. These reports seemed to gain even more validity as there were more reports that Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan was interested in purchasing the company. Although, all of this is speculation and rumor for the time being as the Carter family was adamant that the company was not for sale.

The Carter family continued to make these claims as Janice Carter, the mother of Dixie Carter, recently sent a memo to TNA employees about these rumors that they are selling the company. Despite the previous reports from the likes of Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Observer, and other websites, Janice Carter maintained that the company was not for sale.

PWInsider has received the memo from Janice Carter in its entirety:

Dear Staff,

As we embark on our “Where Action Never Ends” 365 initiative, I wanted to take this time to thank you for your dedication and enthusiasm to your company’s renewed creative direction. I feel confident that, together, we are marching towards something great – a revolutionary way to experience professional wrestling.

With this said, I am aware of the false rumors currently circulating that The Carter Family and Panda Energy is attempting to sell their ownership stakes in TNA Wrestling. An unfortunate aspect of this business is that there are wrestling “reporters” who consistently post “news stories” without proper facts. I want to assure you that these are just rumors and I am committed to TNA and its future.

While I typically find that responding to such rumors is a waste of time, I wanted to use this as a moment to express my support and delight for the creative direction we are moving in. Our work has just begun and I look forward to a long and rewarding future with you and TNA.

Warm Regards,

Janice Carter
Chairman of the Board
