I think it is a very good idea and I am sure we'll see a lot more of it in the future. Great way to push the network.

...err, technically speaking, they already have all their biggest matches exclusive to the network.

**Kang** · 2014-11-05 13:06

Just like the odd time you see title changes at house shows, this is meant to drum up buzz for the Network. As a one time thing I think it's alright. But if they do this all the time it won't work.

**Kalmado** · 2014-11-05 15:48

Looking at it from a business standpoint, as Noble pointed out, it's a great idea to push the network. I'm not mad at it.

**Kang** · 2014-11-05 21:00

So TNA's last TV taping will air in 2 weeks. They were going to air 'best of' episodes starting Nov. 26 til the end of the year but it looks like Spike is gonna air a movie on the first day of those episodes. So if you like them you only have 3 more episodes to go. Personally, I've been following them since they first launched by reading the reports online then started to watch them when they landed on Spike in 2005. I think they're done and won't be able to find a new network. Thoughts?

**Krandor** · 2014-11-05 21:13

I think they might net a deal, but probably on some backwater channel for not much money.

It's a shame because since the news broke about the Spike contract ending they've been putting out a really good product on TV, obviously for the goal of trying to convince a new network to sign them.

If they do fold, insert standard comments about WWE picking up some of their guys. If not, gimme some fucking English commentary dubs for NJPW since alot of those guys would probably end up over there or back in ROH.

**Xno Kappa** · 2014-11-05 21:13

Wasn't Dixie Carter supposed to make a major TV deal announcement within 10 days like 2-3 weeks ago?

**Vagrant** · 2014-11-05 21:31

Supposedly John Gaburick was finalizing the new deal today with the latest rumor being they will remain on Spike but receive much less money.

And english dubbed NJPW would be great. Guess we can look forward to January 4th for one episode of it at least courtesy of GFW.

Trigun · 2014-11-08 13:47

NJPW had their iPPV "Power Struggle" last night.
Looking forward to the English commentary. They deserve [more] global attention.

Spoiler: show

**Krandor** · 2014-11-08 13:59

The whole Bullet Club stable is cool, and AJ Styles has been incredible (might we even say Phenomenal?) over there.

**Krandor** · 2014-11-08 19:48

Wow just watching that Yoshitatsu fucked up on selling the Styles Clash so bad, lucky he didn't break his neck.

**Kang** · 2014-11-09 22:33

New Botchamania with highlights from Hell in a Cell. The part with Kane tripping over his own feet pretty much sums up where his career is going lol.

**Anoat** · 2014-11-10 03:23

LMAO at the MegaMan X ending and the Orange Is The New Black intro. And wow. They still have Percy Watson's intro video when he hasn't even been on the roster in 3 years?

**Kalmado** · 2014-11-10 09:09

Botchamania never disappoints.

**Vagrant** · 2014-11-10 14:21

So CM Punk's next move has been announced

Spoiler: show

**Krandor** · 2014-11-10 14:22

Ha was just about to post that.

**Krandor** · 2014-11-10 15:05

I get the feeling the crowd in Raw is going to be super edited today since it's not airing live. UK is pretty salty about the network and I'm sure they'll make it known.

**Melena** · 2014-11-10 19:26

Team Super Cena & Friends vs the Legion of Authority was finalized today in England. Spoilered so people don't cry.

Spoiler: show

**Anoat** · 2014-11-10 19:26

The guest host for RAW next week is...Grumpy Cat.

Turn out the lights, folks, show's over.

Team Authority does not compute on so many levels.
