Billy Corgan, who still remains President of TNA as of this writing, issued a series of tweets on Monday afternoon after news broke that a judge had denied his attempted injunction against TNA earlier today in Nashville. Corgan seemed pleased with the amount of facts the proceedings have brought to light publicly about the business practices of TNA Wrestling.
For those asking, I’m in no way disappointed in the judges ruling regarding TNA. Rather, I’m grateful the judge considered the case

It’s important to note is these proceedings have brought forth facts which illuminate business practices I have fought against for a reason

And I suggest that a careful reading on the judge’s ruling supports there can be no claim of victory by anyone in a position of authority

As reported on earlier, TNA has been ordered to pay back the loan Corgan provided to the company this year by tomorrow (November 1). Once the debt is paid, Corgan will forfeit any rights to power to convert his debt into a 35% ownership of TNA.
When things are officially settled with Corgan, Anthem Media (the parent company of Fight Network) is expected to step in and replace Dixie Carter as the majority owner of the company and Aroluxe Marketing’s Jason Brown being named the CEO of TNA. Carter is expected to stay on as a minority owner with the breakdown of ownership being 85% for Anthem, 10% for Aroluxe and 5% for Carter (these ownership figure breakdowns are based on documentation uncovered by Corgan’s legal team).
A report by PWInsider.com noted that Corgan can still move forward with his lawsuit against TNA and other executives, with his legal team hinting that more legal proceedings against Carter and others are expected for “additional wrongdoing” he believes may have taken place. Regarding Carter, she now faces a TNA locker room that remains behind on pay and was told at a recent television taping that conversations with WWE regarding a sale never took place when they actually did, including days before telling talent otherwise.
