As of February 2015, Pop is available to approximately 75,255,000 pay television households (64.7% of households with at least one television set) in the United States, compared to 57,238,000 American households (49.2% of households with television) for Destination America.
So it's a positive.

If they don't get a clearance on AT&T in the Chicago area by January, my bi-monthly TNA reviews will come to an end.

This sucks, I get Pop, but don't get COMET.
So you all get ROH & I'm stuck with TNA.
Shit.

In January the weekly wrestling schedule will be:
Raw on Monday Impact on Tuesday NXT and ROH on Wednesday Smackdown on Thursday NJPW on Friday
That's a lot of content.

According to F4WOnline.com, TNA will be announcing very soon that its upcoming tour of India has been canceled.
About two hours ago TNA talents who were scheduled for the tour, which was to feature the semifinals of the TNA World Title Series, were informed that it has been canceled.
Talents have been told the tour has been postponed due to safety concerns, and will take place sometime in 2016. Talents are said to be scrambling at this point to find weekend bookings.

They have incredible staying power. It's really uncanny. I don't know a single person that watches it religiously. Or at least admits it.

But.....I thought Mahabali Shera, grandma Dixie & his dance were supposed to bring in the fans from India?
Seriously, it's a miracle this shit show is still chugging along.

I don't blame them for cancelling the tour.

I feel dirty even posting about these people.
- Regarding PJ Black (Justin Gabriel) dropping the Global Force Wrestling NEX*GEN Title to Sonjay Dutt last week, before the first episode of GFW Amped even airs, Black has signed with Lucha Underground and that’s why he had to drop the title.
Regarding a GFW TV deal, the promotion is currently being represented by Boulder Creek International for TV distribution and they were represented at MIPCOM (International Market of Communications Programmes) in France last month as well as SPORTEL, a sports content media convention in Monaco. They will also be represented at a TV broadcasters convention in Singapore this week. GFW currently has 16 hours worth of Amped TV episodes ready to go.
GFW is set to make announcements next week about upcoming live events in the United States and internationally. Jeff Jarrett has been invited to the winter meetings for Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball in Nashville next week and will be talking with different teams about bringing the GFW Grand Slam events to their ballparks.
In a new GFW rumor, officials are reportedly in the final rounds of talks with what is said to be a “major Hollywood player.” The talks reportedly began after the first set of GFW TV tapings in Las Vegas earlier this year. No word yet on exactly what they’re discussing but it’s not a cable network.

I hate seeing groups either unable to get a TV deal, or landing on Spunk TV. Jarrett is smart, but I wonder how much of his own money is gone from this venture?

Will Stefano DiMera show up on the premiere episode & take the TNA title back to Salem?
That's some solid Days of Our Lives talk right there. I'd honestly watch that over Impact.

This should tell you everything you need to know about TNA. - Nick ‘Magnus’ Aldis recently spoke with Mark Suleymanov of inquisitr.com about almost quitting TNA years ago and working for GFW. Here are the highlights. Almost quitting TNA years ago: “I remember Vince [Russo] specifically saying to me ‘What? You want to be World Champion or something?’ and me saying ‘Yeah’ and he’s like ‘That will never happen, you’re a Brit,’” Aldis recalls. “I remember I almost quit then and there because what’s the of the point of being there?” The James Storm/Mickie James Train Skit: “We hated it, we all hated it. When it was pitched to us, we all tried desperately to change it to something else but the guy in charge wasn’t having anything to do with it and was convinced it would be great. That’s just a perfect example of one of the reasons why I left, we all said that was a bad idea and we all gave what I thought were good alternatives and were basically told ‘do what we tell you.’” Working for GFW: “The structure of GFW is completely different, it’s very much to me how I always imagined a wrestling company should be. You know, it’s very much like everyone is on the same page, everyone is treated with respect and there’s no ego when it comes to the people in charge. There’s Jeff [Jarrett], there’s Scott D’Amore, Kevin Sullivan, and Keith Mitchell is at TV’s, Sonjay [Dutt] has a big role and wears a lot of hats in GFW. No one there is walking around like ‘I’m the big boss, everyone has to respect me and if you get on the wrong side of me, you’re gonna pay, I’m gonna bury you,’ there’s none of that.” Read more: www.pwmania.com/magnus-on-almost-quitting-tna-years-ago-working-for-gfw-mickie-james-more#ixzz3ui19BIkz

This seems like a really bad decision:
– PWInsider reports that both Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis are finished with Ring of Honor as of yesterday’s TV taping session. The two were unable to come to terms on a new deal with ROH and are done there, and likely in NJPW as a result.
The site reports that the duo’s departure was expected internally at ROH for a while, although Bennett’s tag team partner Matt Taven is still signed with the company through either March or April.
Bennett and Maria were telling people on their way out that they are set to start with TNA in January.

It's gotta be a swerve. I clicked on & responded to them leaving in the ROH thread never thinking to click here first.
You've got to be shitting me?
No way would people voluntarily go there. Why leave ROH for that?
Again i say, it's gotta be a swerve.

According to PWInsider.com, former TNA star James Storm, who briefly appeared in WWE NXT in 2015, will be returning to Impact Wrestling at this week’s TV tapings in Bethlehem, PA.

What a massive step backwards for Storm. I used to want to see TNA succeed, but enough is enough, just let the workers earn a loving elsewhere.

TNA roped me in last year around this time and I think I lasted for 3 weeks. Never doing it again.

Apparently POP TV isn't part of AT&T's offerings in Chicago. I will miss the great reboot of this amazing product. But they aren't on Final Destination, or whatever that other network was called. So here's the new thread.

I DVR'd it. Will watch it later on.
I get this dog shit, but I no longer get ROH and have to watch that online. Sometimes life isn't fair.

At least we have Wrestle Kingdom.
Also I saw Bennett posted a pic saying he was at a "date night" with Maria in Pennsylvania I think. He's trying to pull the Jericho post something to throw fans off, but that would require TNA having fans throw off.
