    Default Is the Wrestling Channel on it's last legs?

    The second channel disappears, the original drops half it's programs for advertising and "bang babes". Is it dying on it's ass?

    Probably trying to preserve its content or more to point maybe trying to streamline and only show the better stuff?

    I had to admit i did not understand why it put bang babes in must be need cash or it will go subscribe route?

    Aren't they currently signing a deal with TNA? So we can see stuff that has been taped that week and not weeks behind like we currently are?

    They need to get rid of that Jap womens wrestling, memphis wrestling and half the other shite they put in there...

    Only watch it for tna and interviews....

    have to agree with Daz on this I watched some of the other stuff like roh and tried to watch the jap stuff but could not get it but love the interviews and TNA best thing about it. Be really good if they are tryin to deal with tna to get more up to date stuff!

    I think they're now 4 weeks behind rather than several months.

    It's fair that TNA and the shoot interviews are the only thing currently worth watching.

    TWC has been dying for a few months now. And i think they realised that TWC reloaded was a massive faliure. (programmes started at 3am and finished at 7am, with the rest of the air time taken up by advertising.)

    The TNA deal broke down when Eurosport bought the rights to show up to date Impact shows at 8pm on friday nights, but that is a complete waste of time coz they dub over Mike Tennay with some clueless british guy and have cut the show into a half hour timeslot.

    If that's the case, shouldn't TNA be shown what Eurosport are doing to their shows and realise what a mistake they've made?

    I like that crazy move that one of the (I think) x-division guy's does.

    He jumps off the turnbuckle, and does a sort of Zangief style spinning piledriver on the opponent. Cool move....mental....but cool

    Shooooooo-ryuken!

    Yeah, I played it in slomo at the time - he lands on both feet, then BOOM, the move is done. Mental move

    TWC is just getting good as well!

    The last 2 shoot interviews were awesome (Bret Hart & Vince Russo)

    Nwa-Tna is nearly upto date!

    Apparantly TNA are going after WWE time slot on SpikeTV as WWE have ended their contract with them and will be moving to another network...

    So it looks like another Monday Night War is coming..
