Dixie Carter Claims TNA Impact Negotiations w/ Spike TV are “Ongoing”

TNA President Dixie Carter came forward on Twitter today to state that negotiations with Spike TV are still “ongoing”, implying that just because a deal hasn’t been struck, does not mean there won’t be one made in the coming weeks. 

This comes after our report yesterday that Spike TV did not want to renew their deal with the wrestling organization, leaving Impact Wrestling potentially homeless if a deal could not be reached with a new network soon. While this is technically true, and TNA would obviously love to remain with their network, it’s still being said – and confirmed by dozens of sources at this point – that Spike has very little interest in pursuing their relationship further. 

Negotiations with @SpikeTV are ongoing. Stay tuned and be sure to tune in this Thursday night for Ultimate X on #ImpactOnSpike!!

KILLAM: It’s worth noting that TNA just changed their hashtag to #ImpactOnSpike out of the blue recently, presumably to better their relationship with the network and position themselves better. With my report yesterday, plus their Director of Creative Writing Dave Lagana in talks with Ring of Honor, plus the numerous confirmed reports and Spike not wanting to call us back, I don’t think it’s assuming too much to think TNA might want to start looking for a new deal immediately.
