Major Update on the Future of TNA Impact Wrestling on SpikeTV, Dixie Carter Issues Statement

August 20, 2014

impact wrestling on spiketv Following SpikeTV’s decision not to renew Impact Wrestling at the last meeting between Spike and TNA officials, it appears as if the two sides have worked out a deal which will keep Impact Wrestling on TV until the end of the year.

TNA President Dixie Carter has released the following statement:

“Impact Wrestling will remain a vital part of Spike TV’s programming on Wednesday nights, 9/8c, through the end of the year. Negotiations remain ongoing beyond this time frame.”

Paglino: It’s good to see Spike giving TNA ample time to test out the new move to Wednesday nights.

I don’t expect the Wednesday night move to make much of a ratings difference for now, but if/when Smackdown moves to Thursday nights and regular season football gets going, then the Wednesday change is definitely a smart, precautionary move on TNA’s part.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
