| From what I understand, they'll show ROH at 8 and TNA at 9 on Wednesday nights, back to back. Great stuff here. |

| Huge news for the industry. The plan for DA seems to get the fans used to seeing ROH until September - the month where they will stop airing TNA. Very disappointing in terms of TNA, but I guess their management brought it upon themselves. Shame for the wrestlers/bookers who were doing well there for the past year. |

| This all started when Dixie Carter stole TNA from underneath Jarrett's nose. She brought in three known money thieves in Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. Not to mention, they have such a big roster, not as big as WWE, but still a decent size roster where they can give other guys a chance to get exposure. Instead they put the same people in the main event scene. I get it Bobby Roode, A Double, Eric Young and Ethan Carter are great talent. I think Sam Shaw and a few others should get the nod to step up into the main event side.
On the other side, this is a huge upgrade for ROH. I love the weekly TV. This now gives them a bigger viewing audience plus ROH won't ask for an arm and a leg to stay on the channel's roster. I already watch ROH on the DVR but hell this gives me more reason to watch ROH.
If TNA was smart, then they could try to get their old deal with Spike TV back. Then again, I think Spike TV was tired of dealing with Dixie Carter. The lady is stupid. |

| LOL Destination America is owning TNA so bad right now I can't even. Literally Samoa Joe debuts for NXT the same day it's announced TNA is getting cancelled and now DA is like LMAO fuck you TNA. This is good for the pro wrestling business as a whole tho. Fuck TNA. |

| TNA was the drizzling shits long before Hogan/Bischoff walked into the company. This is the same company that had Reverse Battle Royals, Reverse Ladder Matches, Electrified Cage matches, buried most of the home-grown wrestlers in favor of WWE/WCW guys and many times had people actively in the crowd chanting for the booker of the company to be fired. Weird how people forget this stuff or seem to think TNA was good before 2010, it had good periods but it was mostly a poorly booked company that had one good division before they ended up burying that by 2007.
Dixie deserves blame for the death of TNA, sure. She made dumb mistakes like keeping Russo around/constantly re-hiring him but Jarrett warrants a good chunk of the blame himself. He came up a horribly dumb business model of having weekly PPV's and almost caused the company to go bankrupt six months in until Dixie saved it. He's the same guy who originally brought Vince Russo in and kept himself on top for four years while refusing to put over guys like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Monty Brown, Abyss (when he was good), Chris Daniels and others. I mean, look at who he DID put over - Kurt Angle, Christian, Sting etc. How was any of that beneficial to the company? This is the same guy who was a career mid-carder until he got to main event in the dying days of WCW.
There's plenty of people to blame for the death of TNA, not just Dixie Carter or trying to pin-point it to Hogan/Bischoff coming in. TNA was never gonna be a major company even if those two didn't come in |
