Recently, the President of TNA Wrestling Dixie Carter spoke with Stephen Sonneveld about several topics including the possibility of producing a television show for other Viacom-owned channels outside of Spike TV. Carter’s discussion on the idea is noted below, though you can read the entire interview by clicking here. Enjoy!
On Whether iMPACT Wrestling Could Air Outside of Spike TV
Well, in the past, I was exclusive to Spike as it related to wrestling in the United States. But I really have been hounding them pretty hard because in other countries where we have multiple programs, we’re having tremendous success.
Arguably, the second largest television country in the world would be the United Kingdom, and we’re having so much success over there. “Impact” on any given night could have the same rating as “Raw” and “Smackdown” combined, so it’s something that we’re really, really proud of.
But I think [Viacom] recognizes we need to be out there more, and so we’re talking right now, and we’ll see if there’s some good stuff in our future; different networks, maybe not even Viacom.
