Who Was the Celebrity Name Interested in Buying TNA?

When the possibility of TNA Wrestling being sold was reported awhile back, a celebrity name was rumored as one of the lead candidates in the deal. Billy Corgan, frontman for Smashing Pumpkins was one name that was discussed, but those rumors were shot down by both Corgan himself and Dixie Carter.

F4WOnline.com is now reporting that country music star Toby Keith was in fact the lead man in the group that expressed interest in buying TNA Wrestling. It was believed that Jeff Jarrett would have either remained with TNA or brokered the deal due to his close relationship with Keith.
