NBC Universal has til Valentine's Day to accept WWE's offer

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

MTV or VH1 is exactly where Total Divas needs to be

Nah breh Total Divas should ONLY be on E! or Bravo so they can keep that women demographic theyre looking for. My girl probably wouldnt have watched the show at all if it wasnt on the same channel as them Housewives or Kardashian brats.

NBC Universal will probably pony up the cash that Vince wants. If not, and the E winds up back on Spike, then we can expect that Rise and Fall of TNA dvd/blu-ray sometime either in the fall of this year or early next year.

The "Rise" part of the TNA DVD is gonna be a blank disc

The only network that might take TNA would be FX. Honestly I think TNA needs to do a rebranding and they need to come up with a new name for the company. The brand is too tainted. If they had an excellent product the name might not be a problem but their product is still shyt.

their name is impact wrestling nikka, they been done what u said.

Let's add another caveat into this discussion let's look at RAW average rating since 2001:
2001:4.64
2002:4.01
2003:3.76
2004:3.67
2005:3.81
2006:3.90
2007:3.61
2008:3.27
2009:3.57
2010:3.28
2011:3.21
2012:3.0
2013:3.01

at that drop-off from 06 to now, I'm pretty that one of the big reason NBCU is mulling over hard over this new deal

I know a 3.01 is still pretty good in terms of cable ratings, but holy shyt at that plummet

 

[Redguard]

But they still have TNA listed as the official name plus the majority of the public still see the promotion as TNA. They need a new name that sounds professional and not something that sounds indy.

And you also gotta take into account the three hour shows now. I'm pretty sure the 9 pm hour is the most watched while people skip 8 pm or turn off at 10 pm.

 

[MercuryHayes]

WWE on FS1 with a Fox Special every 3 Months. I like.

WWE is obsessed w prehistoric rating systems though so Im sure Spike or NBCU/USA gonna eat.

Yea, but the ratings have gone on a downward spiral long before the three hour RAWs were permanent though,

think about it this way though, what TV show that has been on that long is pulling in better ratings than they were in 2001?

How many weekday prime time shows have been around that long

 

[RammerJammer]

Well it's V-Day

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

It's post V-day now.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Those ratings numbers are a bit misleading. First, there are more households now than in 2001. Second, the ratings drop over the last two years or so can be attributed to them expanding the show to 3 hours which was USA's idea and USA is happy with it.. That does not have an affect on these negotiations.

Finally, RAW is still one of the most consistent draws on cable television and networks are desperate for live programing because its the only thing that can withstand DVR and file sharing.

I don't think WWE will get that much of an increase on a new deal but I would be shocked if they don't make out good on it.
