Right between the American Heroes Channel and BBC America. Now I know what I'm watching between Star Trek TNG reruns and Hitler's Bodyguard. "Hitler's Bodyguard" being Samuel Shaw's new gimmick.

Will it really be living if they're on Destination America? With shows such as the United States of Bacon and Amish Haunting, you'd think it was a parody channel at first glance.

Well, if anything's come of this months long horror show, it's that I now know I get Velocity and Destination America channels... and I can continue not watching either of them until TNA knows what exactly it's doing.

U can believe what u want Yeah, let's just let him believe that everything is good. It's not like they didn't pay Jimmy Yang for a one off show for two months then bounced the check. That would be silly. Or refused to give Sunny Candido's last check and if memory serves got her a ham instead.

They will take a hit budget wise, I doubt Janice will put any extra money into the show as they have already lost more than most of us will ever earn.
But "At least we have something" is much better than "Totally screwed".

They're dead regardless. They haven't even be able to afford to function off of Spike's money, there's no way they'll be able to do it on a fraction of it, and even if their entire audience by some miracle has Destination America, a gap of a couple of months between episodes means a lot of them will probably end up finding something else to watch on Wednesdays instead in the interim. This might buy them an extra taping or two but I don't see them making it in any recognizable form to July or so TV deal or not.
Plus TNA is so hilariously, consistently terrible at advertising I'm sure they won't at all let anyone know in any way that the network change is coming or when it's happening.

Yeah, she's not at Rob Black levels, but based on what we've heard, Dixie is a scumbag.

Even with the TV deal as low grade it is. It is better this nothing but I wondering what talent can they keep? I know they are not going to get the money Spike was giving them and be interesting how they are going too big events they are normally PPVs. Maybe TNA can offer some other incentive to get talents to sign/re-sign. This network is still broadcast nationally. That may be enough incentive to get people to sign. I think what TNA needs is either A.) a name talent who genuinely wants to help TNA because he loves wrestling that much of B.) a name talent who has such a large ego that he Believes he'll elevate TNA with his presence; someone who has Hogan's ego but not his baggage. Imo TNA can't do "big" events anymore. At this point I'd say they should let Bound For Glory be its sole "big" card while other events are just "special episodes" of Impact.

Per Jeremy Botter at Bleacher Report, he had it confirmed from Spike TV executives whilst covering Bellator that they are leaving the wrestling business, and will not air TNA in 2015. Mike Johnson at PWInsider reports that TNA has the Manhattan Center on hold for January 6th-8th, and they intend to announce the new TV deal this week. He also says that this Wednesday's episode will be the last on Spike, and the "best of" episodes will not be airing.

At this point, does it really matter? They go from a second tier cable network to a fringe network that barely exists. If you think the budget was getting cut before, wait until they get their checks for Destination America. Screw Gunner vs Shaw for the TNA World title, TNA may not be able to afford even those dudes with the new deal. Plus every time you hear about TNA getting a new tv deal, the channels keep getting more and more downgraded. I'm waiting for them to announce they are negotiating with METV.

So can we all finally admit TMZ was correct when they reported SPIKE cancelled Impact? Guess Lashley is done in TNA since SPIKE owns Bellator and he got a Bellator contract.

Some reports that Destination America could be their new home. Never even heard of the channel I learned I got it when Luke Hawx was telling me about him being the cajun werewolf on some cryptid show Destination American airs.

Destination America has a Haunting marathon at one today, has a show about guys hunting "monsters" both in the Ozarks and Alaska, a show about Amish ghosts, a show about people trying to catch a ghost in a fish tank, and a show about guys finding a portal. I would say TNA fits perfect there

Would be a huge drop from Spike, but anything would. Again, if (Big if) TNA learned anything from the last year they can make this work and at least be serviceable. They can till get a decent roster together, the big issue is they have to advertise

Or refused to give Sunny Candido's last check and if memory serves got her a ham instead. It was a dick thing to do, but the issue was since Sunny was not married to Candido they couldn't give her his check. Dick thing to do, but according to Candido's brother, his parents got the check.

TNA might end up being the highest rated program on Destination America. But I remember Destination America being rebranded a couple of times, maybe that will affect TNA, maybe not. Anyway, I don't get the channel so I won't be watching. Not big deal, I haven't watched regularly since 2012.
