That could be Spike trying to get back at WWE.
Wait, did WWE leave Spike, or does Spike want to drop WWE shows?

WWE was asking for a really high figure from Spike for them to renew. THey actually signed for WAY less to go back to USA.

I could see it, but I'm not sold on it

To save an argument, I'll believe it when I see it.

It's still pretty much a shot in the dark. Also, if they do....it won't be until late September.

It'd be interesting to see TNA on Spike though.

It would fit their demographic, but I don't know if it would fit their new programming direction

New programming direction?

Spike TV wanted to get away from having wrestling on their station, despite being the Network for MEN, and 90% of the wrestling audience in the world is MEN.

That's what I thought you meant, but you never know with TV stations.

From what I've read, they want to move more to "scripted dramas" and the like. Which means more CSI reruns. I do think TNA would be good if they wanted to keep up the "Slammin' Saturday Nights" idea

I was thinking the other day......"Man, we could use another channel that shows reruns of shows I already don't watch."
