Report on TNA's Relationship With Spike TV

[4 Gold Scorpio]

I could see TNA on MyNetworkTV. Smackdown got them their highest rating ever so I think they might be open to it.
And it seems WWE did the move to SciFi only to get more money.

WWE got them their highest rating because the other shows on the network weren't much appealing at all & ended up cancelled after the first year.

not true at all, my network decided not to renew wwe, wwe wanted to stay on basic cable but then had no choice to go to scify after there were no other options

Not entirely true either, yeah WWE went to Syfy (under the NBC/Universal banner that RAW currently is under) because they had no other options but WWE left MyNetwork after their second year because of the decision made by MyNetwork after their original programming flopped to just become a syndication network (have no original programming & only show reruns of other shows like Law & Order:SUV) with some of the stations dropping MyNetwork completely after the first year causing big ratings drops.

I Wikipedia'd it before I posted. It said they're making ten million more dollars on SciFi so I figured that's why they moved.

^^^ABC is owned by Disney (doubt they want anything to do with wrestling) & is designed to be a family based network so the direction of TNA would have to drastictly change to PG oriented meaning no blood, no foul language, tone down the sexual nature of the show, ect.

Nothing wrong with that, WWF proved in the 80s and WCW in the late 90s, despite being PG the product can still be good. If I was tNA i have no problem going from tv-14 to pg if can get on a major network like abc and pull in big ratings.

i think TNA should gear itself towards TV-14 or TV 18

TNA already is TV-14. And they're not going to go to 18 unless the knockouts start competing topless or something.
