RAW leaving SpikeTV, back to USA?
From Wrestlezone...
Spike TV announced today in a press release that they have closed negotiations with WWE about renewing a deal. We are now under the assumption that RAW, Heat, Velocity and Experience will be moving to the USA network in September of this year. "After several months of negotiations, we have decided to end our discussions about extending our relationship with WWE beyond September 2005," wrote Spike TV in a press release. "Moving forward, Spike TV will expand its investments in original programming and new acquisitions for its core audience." USA appears to be the only major cable option for Raw, as TNT, TBS and FX have all confirmed no negotiations. As we noted the other day here on the site, Linda and Shane McMahon were spotted at NBC Universal offices in Rockefeller Center several days ago. We have been told that a deal is done and locked with the USA network. Everything has apparently been worked out and an announcement should be expected soon. More details as we get them. ------------------------------- So......yeah And shepherds we shall be, for thee my lord for thee. Power hath decended forth from thy hand so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. And we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. |

The 15-18 year old audience? or will it become Star Trek all day long? |

Also, does USA still have that tennis open every year? If so, that means Raw is fucked two weeks out of the year!

You people are forgetting Most Extreme Challenge. That was the only show besides Raw worth watching on Spike.

Dammitttt. I dunno about this. At first I hated the move to Spike because the picture seemed a little fuzzy. But now, with the move back to USA, just three words keep going through my mind...

Pfffffffffffffft. Even if they pick up some indy fed or even TNA for that matter, there is next to no chance that they'll do well at all. Unless they secure the rights to one of the Japanese wrestling company's (or companies') tape library and dub the commentary and subtitle or dub the promos over in English.
That would be pretty kick ass. But it's a wet dream that will never happen because there is no way that many casual fans will be 1. interested in anything outside of the WWE and 2. interested in totally different styles of wrestling (puroresu, hardcore on an ECW type level) |
