Or it could just be more dirt sheet rumours that aren't true.
Only time will tell!

I'll wait till someone like Dave Meltzer reports something about this. However, I did hear that POP did get rid of the Saturday morning replay, which the replay used to air after the live Impact. Did Sinclair really buy TNA? I don't remember ever hearing that the sale was official.

Eh, I'm gonna choose not to read too much into it... yet.
Would be a tragedy, though, since TNA is consistently entertaining me the most out of any of the weekly programs right now - yes, even LU.

TNA really does get a bad deal from the fans. They just refuse to give it another shot because at one time it wasn't the best. If that is the case, shouldn't we all have stopped watching WWE for the past year??

It's not a rumor. This is an official release from POP and Impact isn't on it. What that means is up for interpretation, but it is definitely real.

Whether they're dropping it or not, the fact that POP is not promoting it is a problem. It's Hulk Hogan on American Idol all over again.

Even though they own ROH, they are still primarily a broadcast syndication company.

If that is the case, shouldn't we all have stopped watching WWE for the past year?? I'd highly disagree, for a few reasons. While POP is more slightly more available than Destination America, I still don't have it with Comcast's second to top tier cable plan, which it doesn't have Destination America either, but does include El Rey Network. They tried promoting themselves as an alternative to WWE for their entire lifespan, which they haven't been since at least 2009, where they just copied pretty much everything WWE did. They lost their spot to Lucha Underground as that alternative, as LU is actually an alternative as well as it being vastly superior in production quality, wrestling, and entertainment. Every TNA original/mainstay aside from Abyss, James Storm, Gail Kim, Jeff Hardy, So Cal Val, and Jeremy Borash, have left. Some of those guys stayed there for the longest time due to loyalty. Bram is still a thing. Lashley is considered one of their draws, in 2016. Matt Hardy was their World Champion in 2015-2016. In the past 5 years (2011-2016) they have had 17 different people hold their World Championship, only 6 of them are still in the company.

I think TNA thinks its bigger than what it really is.

it's been literally like 10 years of talking about how tna is going to close on this board. at this point, until they have the nail drilled into that casket, i won't believe it.

It's always hilarious to me that this board is two entirely different boards in one. The people that actually watch TNA in 2016 and see that it's a formidable product vs the people who come on here to post every single negative tidbit (mostly false) and have for the past ten years predicted that TNA was going to shut it's doors in three months, six months, a year, whatever.

It's more hilarious to me to read certain fans here get butthurt over negative fans crapping on TNA. Look, I'm enjoying TNA now a days. It's not like it was in 2004-2006 when i started watching, but it's enjoyable. Personally, I'll believe TNA's demise when it happens cause they always find some form of luck to stay alive, but it is alarming when we see that they first move the replay from Tuesday after the first airing to Saturday mornings to just removing it. I'll believe the whole TNA going off the air from POP when someone like Meltzer, who broke TNA getting cancelled from Spike and Destination America , reports it. My point of the quote, just ignore the haters who just want to see TNA die and enjoy the product. Even though a lot of them have a point in crapping on TNA in my opinion, I'll criticize when warrant. Plus, the ones who get butthurt over the haters end up annoying me more lol

If, and big IF here, TNA gets dropped by Pop TV I feel sorry for Rosemary/Courtney Rush and Allie/Cherry Bomb. I've known both women for years and while I'm excited they've been signed by TNA I can't help but bad for them if TNA gets dropped.

I've really enjoyed TNA lately Everything they are doing with Decay is gold I'm glad they unmasked abyss to fit in with decay Mike Bennett, EC3 and Drew Galloway are definitely the future and TNA is proving that Having Bennett end EC3 win streak was a great idea and it better lead to a long rivalry Yes, there are some disappointments like Matt Hardy recently being world champ But on the other side of things. Roman reigns is WWE champ and we all hate him right??

Also, apparently my auto-correct is a Power Rangers fan, since it keeps trying to change 'Hulk' to 'Bulk'. Yeah a few years ago he had a quick segment with one of the contestants... Many fans were kind of annoyed he didn't at least mention them in some way. Would have been great free advertisement for a company that drastically needed it.
