I'll be honest, Not now but there was a stretch around 2004-2005 where TNA was putting out a better show than WWE.

two months to figure out who the heck wants to pick up that liability lol. I hope they go to a good home just for the performers' sake. as awful as the program is, there is still a pretty decent amount of talent left on that roster.

Latest from Meltzer:
A number of media sources have reported that Spike TV will not be renewing Impact Wrestling when the contract expires in just over two months.
There were reports that Carter positioned to her staff at a meeting on Friday that they were leaving Spike on their own volition due to a lack of promotion, but others have confirmed Spike had told Carter they were not going to offer a new deal.
The decision came days after Spike found out that Vince Russo was still working for TNA.
At this point direct sources at Spike did not respond to questions from just after the meeting and most within TNA, including talent, were not aware there was any issue until today when rumors started flying.
This puts the company in grave position. They have UTA representing them in an attempt to get a new television deal, but unless they could get a deal that pays similar to what they were earning on Spike, financially, the company that had been struggling financially with the Spike payments, would not be in good shape.
TNA was founded in 2002 by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett. The company was about to fold when the company's publicist, Dixie Carter, found out they were on the verge of closing and convinced her parents to purchase the company. The company lost tens of millions of dollars, but kept up a glimmer of hope. They were close to folding in 2005 when Spike and WWE had their split, and Spike brought them in for a late Saturday night one hour time slot.
Eventually the show was moved to Thursday, and expanded to two hours. Aside from a brief period when they moved to Monday and drew poor ratings, they did solid above station average numbers on Thursday.

TMZ reports that Spike TV has let TNA officials know that they will not be renewing their TV contract in October. No word yet on when Impact will stop airing.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the deal told TMZ that Spike TV executives contacted Dixie Carter this week to break the news. Dixie told members of her inner circle the following day.
TMZ reports there's no bad blood and Spike gave TNA such advance notice so it would have time to shop for a new TV deal. Spike and TNA did not return TMZ's request for comment.

Invasion wouldn't work. 90% of casual wrestling fans have NO clue that TNA even exists. 
I remember RVD saying something about how even though he was with TNA people were asking him when he's gonna wrestle again.

Who really had the chance to jump? I don't think WWE wanted anyone on TNA's roster.If you're a TNA guy who had the chance to jump to WWE and didn't in recent times...
Realistically, the only guys I can see maybe showing back up in WWE are the Dudleys, Jeff Hardy, and Lashley. And even those are long shots to me.
