This really stinks. Sure, TNA has had it's ups and downs, but this is gonna be a huge blow to the industry, I think.

I just started watching again, too.

GFW will probably replace them.

GFW to replace them in October? I think it's highly unlikely. Sure, GFW has a lot of "partners", but that's literally all I've heard of them in months.

Don't get me wrong, that would be interesting to see happen, but I highly doubt Jeff Jarrett will be on Spike anytime soon. If he can't even get a decent graphic design person to make his logo, I don't think he'll be in a position to negotiate a TV deal based on his speculative promotion.

Also:

I've heard that Spike did this because of TNA's continued involvement with Vince Russo. Could just be a rumor.

This sucks. First the well founded strikes. now this?

It also started to gain my interest again last time I saw it.
All I saw was 6 sides again in a ballroom, during the last few minutes of a "seriously?" Lashley vs Hardy match but the crowd was electric.
It had a bit of hope again.

I feel for the talent and staff. Dixie I could care less for. She dug this grave. She can now live with it and carry the burden.

As much as I dislike Russo's booking, why is he taking the blame for Spike cancelling TNA's TV deal?

Supposedly, Spike executives didn't want Russo to be employed in TNA. Russo let it slip last week he was still writing for them.
