HOLY SHIT

This is real

Considering the top show on Destination America is called HILLBILLY BLOOD, you can bet your ass the Briscoes are going to get that John Cena push.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

HOLY SHIT

This is real

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit this is great.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

HOLY SHIT

This is real

And Jay Lethal is front and center.

Get Rekt, TNA!

 

[Ultratech]

I can't stop laughing at the ROH news.

That shit is gold.

ROH
LU
NXT

ALL ON THE SAME NIGHT. THE WAR IS ON

I welcome the new Wednesday Night Wars!

 

[Aiii]

nvm, beaten.

 

[FlammableD]

In other news, the GZRS are at it again...

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I have no words except LOLOL

 

[Fox318]

Couldn't that be a good thing for TNA?

Destination America is becoming the channel for wrestling?

 

[KissVibes]

So wait a second, is SAMOA JOE on TWO wrestling shows on the same day for different promotions? He must be commanding a high price from indies.

Also, what does this mean for channels owned by Sinclair broadcasting that ran RoH? Only on DA now? Will Sinclair finally make meaningful financial investments in ROH to make it look like not shit?

 

[Plywood]

HOLY SHIT

This is real

[bigkrev]

So is TNA now going to try and sue Destination America because they are saying it's dead?

 

[slightconfuse]

Joe is the new Rick Rude. Going TO be on ROH and NXT on the same night.

 

[Jamie OD]

Wrestling has been insane lately.

 

[Aiii]

This has got to be the single most carny death of a wrestling promotion ever.

 

[somedevil]

Couldn't that be a good thing for TNA?

Destination America is becoming the channel for wrestling?

No this is basically DA showing TNA they found there replacement because they can't get rid of them to Sept.

 

[dream]

HDNet, Sinclair channels, Discovery America...how many more networks will Ring of Honor bomb off of before the company is finally put out of its misery?

 

[kiguel182]

Well, if their complain was that TNA was to expensive ROH is a good replacement I guess. I doubt how this will be better to get advertisement.

And if ROH keeps that cheap ass production I'll continue to skip it.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

 

[Aiii]

I'm now imagining the DA exec reading that e-mail Dixie accidentally send them calling them "dummy's" and going, "WHAT?! GET ROH ON THE LINE! I WILL SHOW HER WHO'S A DUMMY!"

 

[KissVibes]

How long until Gobal Force Wrestling is on Fox Sports 1 or some shit?

Are these people actually real?

 

[Sephzilla]

The denial is real

 

[Mr. Luchador]

TNA v ROH for exclusive Destination America broadcasting deal.

 

[Aiii]

I'm good.

TNA Mecca is gonna be pissed!

I bet they spin it into thinking that Destination America loves wrestling so much they wanted to pair TNA and ROH and there's gonna be an invasion angle on TNA and cross-promotion matches too.

I'm DAMN good.

 

[The Elite]

Well, if their complain was that TNA was to expensive ROH is a good replacement I guess. I doubt how this will be better to get advertisement.

And if ROH keeps that cheap ass production I'll continue to skip it.

It's cheap ass from a production standpoint but maybe it operates within a safe budget. That could be more attractive to DA.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

HDNet, Sinclair channels, Discovery America...how many more networks will Ring of Honor bomb off of before the company is finally put out of its misery?

They're still on Sinclair, they're just also on Discovery now

 

[Fox318]

No this is basically DA showing TNA they found there replacement because they can't get rid of them to Sept.

and using them to promote their competition.

yikes

 

[Black Republican]

This has got to be the single most carny death of a wrestling promotion ever.

to be fair we said that when Spike was gonna drop them

 

[tm24]

What a marvelous day

 

[Sephzilla]

Seriously this just made my whole fucking day. It's really the one/two punch of TNA denying their own cancellation followed up by the ROH left hook that really makes this hilarious as fuck. Dixie Carter absolutely deserves this.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

TNA has contacted talent requesting they take place in a conference call at 3 PM today, so it appears Dixie Carter will be addressing the troops regarding the Destination America situation.

THEY JUST FOUND OUT ROH WAS TAKING THEIR SPOT AT THE SAME TIME AS US

 

[tm24]

I really wonder how much filler programming like ROH's show costs. The syndication costs must be super low

 

[dream]

They're still on Sinclair, they're just also on Discovery now

Didn't they used to broadcast shows as late night paid programming on cable too?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

 

[Jamie OD]

THEY JUST FOUND OUT ROH WAS TAKING THEIR SPOT AT THE SAME TIME AS US

I'm going to freak out if she says TNA was bought out by ROH. Obviously not going to happen but I just want to get that out there just in case.

 

[Sephzilla]

Meanwhile at TNA Headquarters

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

HOLY SHIT

This is real

This is like what happened to ECW back in 2000

 

[Data West]

ok i'm ready for june

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Awkward!

 

[BronsonLee]

LOL THAT ROH ON DESTINATION AMERICA NEWS

 

[Sephzilla]

THEY JUST FOUND OUT ROH WAS TAKING THEIR SPOT AT THE SAME TIME AS US

Oh my god.

Someone hold me up, I'm going to pass out from laughter

 

[slightconfuse]

Hope this goes well,for ROH and Sinclair pumps some,money into them

 

[Sephzilla]

Since others brought it up, I'm also curious what happens to Samoa Joe in this scenario

 

[Kornflayx]

HOLY SHIT

Oh my god.

Someone hold me up, I'm going to pass out from laughter

No mention of TNA

 

[Aiii]

The only thing that could possibly make this a better storyline is if we found out that Vince McMahon brokered this deal with DA and ROH personally.

 

[jmdajr]

So...

I'm not sure if Rusev is going to make it to the Elimination Chamber, guys.

Shiiit.
