    The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Spike TV and TNA are currently negotiating the terms for a new two-hour TV show.

    The day, start date, and airing time have not yet been decided. The only thing that is certain right now is that the show likely will not be airing on Mondays

    I like the sounds of this cos with competition comes forced creativity innovation and one-upsmanship like there was in the time of WCW and the Attitude days, Before Vinnie Mac bought and decided how wrestling should be done.

    Although not direct competition with Raw cos that would be silly

    I'd love if a UK or Irish TV station also picked this up. Sick of downloading.

    3 UK channels air TNA! Although only one is up to date. And I don't actually have any of them..

    I heard this a good while ago, apparently Spike hinted at it or somethin. I've been thinkin, if TNA hadn't had those 1 cent PPV's back a few years ago, they'd have no way of building up their characters now, and they'd really be ****ed. Those PPV's were very smart business

    And TNA with 2 hours, I can only see it gettin better. The main problem they seem to have is basically not having enough time to build for PPV's

    The main probelm TNA have that unless they get a UFC lead in their rating has remained pretty much the same since they have been on Spike. And of the people that do watch it, the percentage of tv viewers who buy their ppvs is really small.

    More time might help. The again, It might not. The UFC airs shows that are only an hour long and their percentage of viewers that buy ppvs blows the WWE and TNA out of the sky right now.
