TNA and Global Force Wrestling have been in talks with the same TV networks, because very few networks are interested in picking up pro wrestling.
TNA actually has the upper-hand over GFW as they are operational, have some history and have stars under contract. Spike TV not renewing TNA may have changed the landscape of the business by making it a lot harder for GFW to get a TV deal.
Another issue with TNA’s potential network talks is that most of the stations they are rumored to be talking with don’t air in Canada. Spike TV airs in most of Canada, which has always been strong for pro wrestling.
– There have been talks of having Triple H’s new “stooges” Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury wrestle a match.
– We noted before that indie wrestler Leva Bates worked the recent WWE NXT TV tapings, losing to Carmella. It’s expected that WWE will bring Bates back for another look.
– Below is the synopsis and a photo from Cameron and The Miz’s appearance on Family Game Night, which airs this Sunday at 7pm EST on The Hub Network:
“WWE Superstar The Miz and Diva Cameron will play life-sized games on a celebrity edition of the Hub Network’s “Family Game Night,” airing Sunday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. ET. Miz and Cameron vie for glory in the FGN arena as they team with opposing families to play giant versions of classic board games. Will it be an Awesome night for Miz or will Cameron say “Girl bye” to the competition? See what happens when WWE joins “Family Game Night,” Sunday at 7 p.m. on the Hub Network.”
