If no one would get TNA, all that's left on national television is WWE. I guess Vince McMahin had had surprise in his 69th birthday.

"TNA Impact Wrestling: Now the flagship program on RFD-TV! Just after the latest episode of I Love Toy Trains!" I came in here to make the same joke, only replacing toy trains with "Hee Haw", or that Dutch Oven cooking show.

BBC America presents The Spud and Friends Hour That would be amazing. Not a major network, maybe Pivot. But don't f*** with my Buffy and Veronica Mars repeats.

I wonder if Animal Planet would notice if Eric Young quietly submitted TNA episodes under the guise of his fishing show.

"TNA Impact Wrestling: Now the flagship program on RFD-TV! Just after the latest episode of I Love Toy Trains!" I don't know if I posted this story before, but I discovered that channel after a night of drinking. I came home and started channel surfing and was greeted with an auctioneer show where they were selling cattle in Montana. I watched it until I passed out and woke up and there was what looked like a public access country music talk show. It has become my go-to cable channel after a night of binge drinking and eating pretzels/saltines.

I only know the channel exists because of The Soup.

Just because a company is no longer in business it doesn't mean its automatically for sale. I can see Dixie (unless Panda attempt to overrule her) just keep hold of the TNA library and trademarks because she can.

Or Jeff Jarrett, he would use the video library for GFW if TNA closed. I'd rather settle for Vince because they want it for Sting's footage as well as Hardys, Dudleys, Angle, Booker T, etc. Id want anyone but Vince to buy TNA. I'd rather TNA die completely than become part of the WWE umbrella (unless it becomes a separate brand). If anything I want to see it rebuilt from the ground up than just stripped for footage. If Jarrett took it back, then he could simply rebrand TNA as GFW, especially since GFW is nothing more than a glorified game of TEW at this point, and the remains of TNA give him a good base to start from.

TNA being called a "lame-duck" is so fitting to me.

Good for spike, I always hated TNA interupting my 10 week long blocks of Cops followed by Bar Rescue.

The new Jeff Hardy DVD, now including chapters like:
"My Nuts Hurt": feud with Austin Aries Willow Victory Road 2011 "I didn't sell out, I sold in" heel turn
Yeah, I'm not seeing the big deal about owning TNA's library from WWE's perspective. WCW was the top promotion in the world for a few years. That had value. TNA couldn't draw an audience on its own.

What? I mean, that's a nice gesture and all, but it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense if Spike is aching to get rid of TNA.

FYI: TNA did approach the Freakin' Awesome Network about Impact Wrestling joining our Network, but we declined.

shit, just realized that for the first time since early 2000's Spike TV (back then TNN) is gonna stop broadcasting wrestling, it's ironic that the network had great moments from ecw, wwe, and 2006 TNA, to having 2010-present TNA, they showed the best and worst of pro wrestling.

If TNA has a network lined up they should just take this deal and run with it, and seriously consider an overhaul in how they do things.

SpikeTV seems like the friendliest network ever.
