**BREAKING** SpikeTV Cancels TNA Impact!

This blows. Hate the product, but it sucks for a lot of reasons.

Getting a crappy, lower-level channel to show the program isn't so much the issue as the money that came with the Spike deal. Without that, or a close equivalent, they're fucked, and because they got dropped, their leveraging power is absolutely zilch.

Saturday Morning Slam wasn't picked up by anyone when that deal expired. Ditto for Main Event. And that's WWE, the established market leader with a build-in fan base.

Jarrett doesn't have a TV deal at the moment, and that's telling.

Perhaps they can make a giant wrestling ring cake and do the show on the Food Network, since it's all about the ring.
