I guess the silver lining if you're a wrestling fan, it looks like Destination America will try to become a wrestling network.

HOLY BALLS!
This is awesome news for ROH fans who don't have access to any Sinclair affiliates. It probably more than confirms the cancellation of Impact Wrestling.

Destination America realized they made a huge mistake taking TNA on. Glad they are getting smarter.

ACQUIRING THE RIGHTS TO RING OF HONOR’S
WEEKLY TELEVISION PROGRAMMING
(Silver Spring, Md.) –Destination America announced today that it has signed a national broadcast deal with professional wrestling league RING OF HONOR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., bringing one of the most respected wrestling organizations to the only network dedicated to all-American entertainment. Destination America is now the one-two-punch to professional wrestling, adding RING OF HONOR (ROH) to its line-up after launching IMPACT WRESTLING in early 2015. RING OF HONOR has been delivering top wrestling matches for ten years with captivating hard-hitting stars such as Jay & Mark Briscoe, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, The Young Bucks, Maria Kanellis, Adam Cole and Jay Lethal.

ROH has a loyal fan base and is one of the fastest growing major wrestling franchises in the country. With this great partnership with Destination America, we can continue to expand our footprint and reach while producing entertaining, original content and continuing to provide wrestling fans some of the best wrestling content available.”
RING OF HONOR will premiere on Wednesday, June 3 leading into IMPACT WRESTLING, making Destination America the home for wrestling every Wednesday evening. The first match will feature the Briscoe Brothers, Mark and Jay, as they face off with the House of Truth in the main event.

Don't know why but this made me laugh out loud. After reading the statement, seems like they're still keeping TNA for now. Hopefully this means ROH step up their production, and get onto UK TV! Every ROH show I've watched looks so cheap + has some really corny, poor, performers in it.

I don't see why people complain about ROH's production value so much. It's not that bad.
Great news for ROH and TNA fans.
Being on UK TV wouldn't be too much of a jump for me, since I watch it on their website on my Xbox anyway, but it'd be easier I suppose.

I'm definitely gonna start following ROH starting next week, now that they're on a channel I can watch on. Now I won't watch live cause NXT's on at the same time, but I'll DVR it and watch the day after.

Remember when Wednesday didn't have wrestling, now we have 6 hours of it, 2 hrs of TNA, and 1 hour each for NXT,LU,and ROH.

I'm shocked and confused....
Destination America will be airing both feds for the time being?
What is going on? My head is going to explode....
I guess it won't really matter - once TNA goes out of business, all those wrestlers will just go to ROH anyway.... it'll end up being a very similar show....

This is gonna be quite interesting. I can't see two companies on the same channel back to back like that unless they're doing cross promotional
