This came out of nowhere, i'm happy to see that a good promotion is getting more exposure and that TNA is one step closer to death.

This reminds me of the whole ECW-WWF/TNN deal of 15 years ago. Deja vu.

Yes! I can finally watch ROH On a weekly basis! I could care less if they cancel TNA as long as I get to see some ROH!

I really hope Destination America doesn't try and force ROH and TNA to do team ups, I have zero interest in seeing ROH and TNA doing anything together.

So you're gonna air two wrestling companies, one of which has lost a TON of talent over the years and the other which is on life support head to head with arguably the hottest wrestling show since the Monday Night Wars?

I bet if ROH does the same amount of viewers as TNA does, that'll give Destination America more of a reason to cancel TNA. I'm not sure how much it costs to produce Ring of Honor, but if it's a lot less to produce ROH than TNA and they get the same amount of viewers as Impact does, Destination America would be smart to cancel TNA as they'll save some money and still have wrestling on their network. I still hope TNA and Destination America can resolve their issues, but then again, I said the same thing when TNA was cancelled from Spike. I can't wait to finally watch Ring of Honor weekly like I used to back in 2009-2010 before they got cancelled from HDNet.

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.... DA picked up ROH to be a lead-in show for TNA. The fact that they are willing to spend money to help Impact, even if it is in a round about way, is good news for TNA. I think they are safe for now. If ratings don't improve, I could see Impact still getting canceled. ROH TV doesn't cost as much Impact and they don't need DA to fund the company like TNA does. If thru do go under I doubt it will change the ROH product much. They could absorb the entire roster (just bare with me and pretend it were possible) and it wouldn't change too much. Ring of Honor has a different style and their creative team isn't clearly on meth. |

I wouldn't call Lucha Underground the hottest show...  There are no ratings numbers for NXT but given the fact that there are about a million Network subscribers and they apparently only watch an average of like 3 hours of scheduled programming a month (according to the latest conference call), I'd call it a hunch that NXT ain't that "hot" either. (As much as I love it). |

We dont know what their viewership is for NXT but you know what it is for Impact...which Im not sure is over a million either lol |

But to say it's the "hottest show since the attitude era," that to me would suggest it was getting the best ratings since the AE, which NXT literally could not possibly do even if every Network subscriber watched it weekly. Hell, they can't even match Raw's current ratings. |

Seems like the premiere will still be on sinclair. It airs on DA 3 days after that, which means the episode will be all over the internet by then. DA should have asked for at least airing it the same day...

Stupid thing to do, very few homes in America have destination America. Going from fox, which every house has, to dest America is a ballsy move.

I have been watching ROH on TV since last fall, when it finally started airing near me, so this really does nothing for me.  But it is pretty cool for anybody who doesn't have access to the show in their area. Now if Comcast would just have the AXS channel so I can watch New Japan, that would be some good news. |
