Way to build your biggest franchise, Spike. I mean, I get why why they're not showing it then (ratings will be shit), but what about the rest of the week? Or how about a special?

Seems wrong to me.
They're apparently "skipping" an episode to air a 4-hour, New Year's Eve 2010 edition of iMPACT! So basically, they're covering two episodes in 1 in what I can only assume is an attempt to steal away WWE's audience for the 12/31 edition of Superstars, and obviously so they have 4 hours to promote the shit out of the Monday, January 4th special edition of iMPACT!

I'm sure Spike and TNA both worked out some sort of mutual agreement, probably in the same terms as how WWE thinks of it's working relationship with USA and RAW: "Fuck ratings, as long as we pay the network execs enough, we'll make 10x what we paid by bringing in the big money with our video service, merchandise, etc.!" (see also the VKM YT clip of him re-iterating the most important thing to pro wrestling promotions these days, "It's all about the monaaaay!"
