You hear it on the radio, local news, see it on Facebook, etc. When WWE comes to town, they make sure the fans know. That is the difference between WWE and TNA. When TNA went on the road, towns were lucky to know they were there. They have rarely, if ever, helped in that department. Panda Energy, who owns the majority stake in TNA, has plenty of money to help market the company, if nothing else. When you go nearly a decade and the show has yet to grow it's audience, there is a problem.

They expect it to, and they have given the TNA product numerous opportunities. Spike does not want a product on their network that cannot grow. They could be right, as TNA has yet to actually grow despite the names they've brought in. They do not have confidence that TNA's current leadership can grow the company. The Wrestling Observer claims that Spike did not trust the leadership of TNA. The reason Spike dropped TNA was simple in the end. There have been rumors of potential networks, but nothing has been concrete yet. This is why we have not heard about any set TV contract for TNA yet. So networks really wanted to know the negativity behind them. In fact, TNA was one of their highest rated shows. TNA's ratings, although not wonderful, were basic cable ratings for most of Spike's shows. Basically, networks wanted to know about the catch. Networks are a bit skeptical about bringing TNA on, as Spike TV was ready to drop them without issue. There was also speculation Spike was not happy about TNA continuing to lose stars. Why did Spike want to drop TNA? We have heard rumors that Spike felt TNA was not growing, and that was the main reason. In 2015, however, Spike and TNA end their near decade-long relationship.

Spike decided to be nice to TNA and let them finish out the year with them. TNA did not get any better in it's move to Wednesday, as ratings were immediately lower from the start. Since last year, they have had weeks with under a 1.0. Spike TV had nothing of note to currently take the place of TNA, but it seems they felt that they could draw the same ratings with another show that TNA was bringing in for them. The concept seemed nuts to fans, as TNA was seemingly a proven #2 wrestling company only behind WWE. The Pro-Wrestling world was taken back a bit when Spike TV decided to drop TNA's Impact Wrestling show from their line-up.
