Spike TV

[Cloud]

Reports floating around that Spike tried to buy 10% in TNA recently but Dixie turned it down.

Also reports that Spike execs have been at the last few tapings.

Hope for TNA maybe.

Idk, my take on Spike buying some part of TNA is this:

if Spike had such a big say on the product and advertising on TNA Impact when they didn't own no part of TNA, imagine what we would be seeing when would be owning a part of TNA

Sure, TNA could use more money from Spike, but I think we would've been seeing, lets just say, a really bad product with probably some of these great guys getting fired and more Bellator/MMA ads, and more MMA fighters on shows etc etc, not to mention Spike always wanting ex-WWE guys in TNA

Just my take on situation, I hope they get renewed but without Spike getting 10% of TNA, please no.

The last time someone owned a wrestling company, it became a colossal mess.

*cue loud Ahem* WCW + Ted Warner's company. Ahem.

Unless you're going to re-create a nWo-like revolution, stay the fuck away from TNA. Okay? Good.

I just hope Spike renew the deal and just leave it like that, advertise the show more and expect for Dixie to turn around the company's fortunes like they have done recently with Impact. In fact, the show through out September (from spoilers I've briefly looked at) looks really good and I expect for over a million viewers regularly now, with the kind that they've gotten since they hit NYC. I guess the real test, though, is taping after October when they're presumably not going to be at NYC. Find a new home and occasionally tour, and then they have a nice UK tour to look forward to. In fact, if someone was going to get power in TNA, it should've been someone who has experience with promotions (I'd say Jarrett but didn't see TNA when he was around pulling the strings, but I assume the X-Division was great and basically the midcard was strong enough).

In fact, I'd think the creative team aren't doing too bad now and I'd like to know what Dixie's been doing there.

and I expect for over a million viewers regularly now

Impact has over 1 million viewers around 98% of the time, the hell you saying?

I already can't stand the corporate c*nts running WWE.

I should have said around 1.4 million.

Seems weird he'd head up the meeting considering how he's leaving.

Bully is a man that when he speaks, everybody listens.
