I dont think they are in any danger right now, but ratings could take another nose dive at any time. And as Mr Kellner has shown, the right person in the wrong position, and wrestling could be gone in an instant (well after their contract anyway).
As for other networks, I dont think there is that much interest in wrestling in the TV biz, if there was there would be another show by now on TV. I know the WWE has a much stronger following, but still I dont think it would be a guarantee they'd get another deal.
As for touring, I think if they lost TV they'd out of business as a national product in no time. They do that well at house shows as it is with so much TV, imagine how bad it would be without that promotion.
