In an interview with Busted Open Radio, TNA Wrestler Eric Young claimed that TNA just recently signed a new five-year deal with Spike TV. Young stated:

"It’s (TNA) been around for ten years. They just signed a big deal with Spike television for another five years. It’s usually the highest rated show on Spike television every week..."

Good news then yeah? I thought Spike was unhappy at the numbers? or is that an IWC myth?

Spike TV? fuuuuuuck.........

I know TNA ratings aren't great but a long term deal renewal with Spike TV says nothing but mediocrity and shows a lack of ambition to move up in the World.

:annoyed:Why. Every show on Spike normally gets low ratings. Good move for Spike, at least TNA stays somewhere.

I don't live in America but as I know Spike TV isn't a good channel, so TNA should have not sign that but that's TNA just being TNA.

Why do you hate TNA so much? Your hero Christian had by far the best run of his career in TNA but all you ever do is shit on them.

Because every channel out there wants pro wrestling on their programming, right? Get real.

Spike isn't much, but at least they're good partners money wise, and they are still the national TV, regardless of their shittyness.

I don't hate TNA. I love TNA far more than WWE but I just don't like TNA board of directors. Some moves they make is just too stupid.

Meh. I don't think Spike is a great channel but as far as realistic options go it is an OK choice, and they have been good to TNA. Hopefully one day TNA will outgrow Spike, but he certainly hasn't happened yet.

Well as I said, I don't know much, actually nothing, about TV channels in USA but what Testify said is right. I get it now.
