NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 20, 2014) – President Dixie Carter issued the following statement today:
“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.”
Tonight marks IMPACT WRESTLING’s official move to Wednesday nights. Tune in at 9/8c for the most anticipated night of hardcore wrestling on television. One of TNA’s most popular annual Pay-Per-Views “Hardcore Justice,” will be featured tonight, free on Spike TV.
My take on this is that Spike will likely come to terms on a longer contract extension with TNA. Let’s be honest – if they didn’t want the product on their channel any more, then they wouldn’t extend iMPACT Wrestling through the end of the year. My assumption is that this news makes it clearer that they’re arguing over money – not product quality.
But they are cancelled, I read it myself on every dirt sheet copy and paste site weeks ago!
