Apparently TNA will not be renewed by Spike TV. It is hard to blame Spike. The product stinks. The ratings stink. It drops viewers following COPS. Seriously COPS. I seriously doubt TNA will be able to find a new TV home in two months. They just don't have much to offer anyone.
While this may appear to be bad for the wrestling business, I don't think it is. TNA was bad wrestling propped up by TV money. They were not really a true second business to compete with WWE. They were bad wrestling imitating WWE pretending to be something worth while. A monopoly is bad, but TNA was even worse.
What will be interesting is to see if any of the TNA talent ends up in WWE. Does this open the door to a Samoa Joe or Austin Aries? Probably not. But a Team 3D return is possible. Bully Ray has been doing some good work, and did not seem to burn bridges as he left WWE. I would be that is really the only realistic shot of seeing TNA guys on WWE. Kurt Angle may make some non-wrestling appearances, but that is about all you can hope for right now.
