Well that settles it, ROH and NXT are going to have a feud on TNA's old timeslot and it'll have terrible ratings because everyone will have died of laughter.

Confirmation that it's a syndicated feed of the currently existing ROH TV program and that it's costing DA a LOT less than TNA. Nothing official has been said as far as what it means for TNA, and Bryan still said the it's possible that DA will change their minds and keep them in addition to TNA, but that it's obviously very unlikely.

No one in TNA had a loving clue this was coming. This announcement was planned for today and it's apparently a legit coincidence that this happened right after the plans to cancel TNA leaked. He doesn't know how this will affect Joe.

Dixie slowly reads her Twitter feed. She sees the DA announcement. Her lazy eye turns outwards just a little bit more. She twitches.

DA will have no creative input into ROH's product. So that's good.

USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I just checked in my channel guide and the RoH slot is still listed as "TBA", I wonder if that's what it said before the deal went public. There are no other programming gaps in the DA guide so TNA might have known something was up.

Of course that's assuming TNA is competent enough to check or care who their lead in is.

ROH will get all the money from the DA deal, it won't be split between them and the wider SBC pool, so they can just take that money and use it to improve production or pay guys better.

I want so bad for ROH to be super successful not just we might get some good competition in the market, but because the idea that TNA leaves due to poo poo rating and ROH comes in right after and does awesome is hysterical.

The channel that show BBQ Pitmasters may in fact be the only one where Jay Briscoe having access to twitter is a boon.

Do we know that for sure? I would think they would have to kick something up the chain to Sinclair.

It could be that ROH gets all the money from DA, but Sinclair gives ROH less money than they would have otherwise.

Not for sure, but they've been pretty clear that ROH is self-sufficient so hopefully that means entirely.

Based on something you've heard that's not public yet, or just speculation? Not trying to get anything out of you if the former, I was just wondering

Maybe I was mishearing the bit but it sounded like that's what they said about the deal on Observer Live.
