Impact Wrestling Cancelled By Spike TV

 

 

TNA Wrestling's flagship show "Impact Wrestling" could soon be without a home -- Spike TV quietly let the league know it's not renewing their TV contract ? TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the deal ... tell us Spike execs contacted TNA President Dixie Carter late last week to break the news -- and the following day Carter informed members of her inner circle.

TNA's current deal with Spike reportedly runs through October. It's unclear at this point when "Impact Wrestling" will stop airing on Spike.

We're told there's no bad blood, and Spike gave TNA such advance notice so it would have time to shop for a new TV deal.

Without a major US TV contract TNA is as good as dead. It's a shame.

Sadly so; they've got three months to find one. :/

or the next WCW(well its dead,but purchased by VKM)  :rofl:

 

I could see Vince buying it just for the tape library, but he wouldn't want any contracts.

 

I can see a lesser network picking up Impact, but I'd see a really bad airtime, like 11pm or midnight or something.

Wow, that was a great video. First off, kudos to whoever brought Danny to their attention, and kudos to all the wrestlers (both male and female) who obviously feel it's important. Seeing Goldberg tear up, and Zeus tear up, made me tear up. (Though Zeus man, wow lay off the bible thumping a tad man)

 

If Danny is a wrestling fan, can you imagine how happy that video would make him? All those legends (and not so legends) and Lita etc all wishing him the bestest birthday EVAR. Pretty awesome. Sure hope Danny has more of those to come.

Who? And why is he in red?

The article on WWE.com puts it better than we could: http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-signs-fergal-devitt-26515616

 

Prior to signing with WWE, Devitt was widely considered one of the most highly touted free agents in sports-entertainment. Hailing from Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, his path to NXT and WWE has been circuitous: Initially trained in England, Devitt honed his craft in the U.K. and U.S. independent scenes before entering the notoriously disciplined dojos of New Japan Pro Wrestling. He also competed in Mexico, though it was in New Japan that he rose to greatest prominence, under the name Prince Devitt.
 
During his eight-year tenure there, Devitt captured the group?s prestigious IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship three times, and he won New Japan?s Best of the Super Juniors tournament ? the same tournament won by the likes of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero ? twice, in 2010 and 2013. Devitt went undefeated in last year?s edition of the round-robin tournament.
 
He's also known for his elaborate outfits. Here's a few...
 
 
 
 
 
And the obligatory "best moves" compilation...

With WWE signing Kenta and Devitt and openly talking about it, does this mean they plan on having them come up to the big show with their characters intact? As in not re-packaging them?
