Rumors have been circulating that TNA Wrestling could soon be in the marketplace, with sports business analyst Blake Avignon reporting that, \u201cAnthem\u2019s Len Asper has set a $30M floor for a possible sale of TNA, along with his preferred price within the $40M \u2013 $50M range.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

During Thursday\u2019s AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door media call, AEW President Tony Khan was asked by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics whether he would have any interest in purchasing TNA if the promotion became available.<\/p>\n

Khan first asked Thurston what price he had in mind. When Thurston responded with $40 million, Khan immediately laughed before giving a blunt answer. He said,<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. It has value. It will should be the proper price. The video library has numerous great wrestlers through the years. Actually not the highest priority for me as an acquisition straight away. It\u2019s not something I\u2019ve had any serious conversations about. Like numerous things in life, it may very well be an interesting purchase if the value was right, but isn\u2019t that true of so many things in life? There are numerous excellent automobiles that I’d like to have in my garage, nevertheless it would rely on the value.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Khan then reiterated that a $40 million asking price can be a non-starter. He said,<\/p>\n

\u201cAt ($40 million), no, absolutely not!\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The premium reflects toxic debt on Anthem\u2019s books that any buyer can be expected to soak up. No deal is imminent, however the number is on the market.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/mKflPggRHt<\/a><\/p>\n
