I spoke with TNA President Carlos Silva earlier today and during the interview I asked him about our report that the company had spoken with A&E and about the CW Network rumors.
Silva said, “I can’t really say anything about the rumors, because they are just rumors. I do enjoy reading all the rumors. We’re talking to everybody. There have been a lot of great discussions over the last 60 days, sort of leading up to Slammiversary. Slammiversary did exactly what you wanted to do, which is to create buzz and make and continue to elevate TNA. Not just for the fans, but for these potential partners that we’re all talking to. It’s helped us, it’s helped move things along. Traditionally, August is a bit of a slow month in the media space. A lot of people are taking time off and getting kids back to school and things of that nature. We’ll continue to push in August and as we get into September and drive to Bound For Glory, hopefully we’ll be able to get a handshake together and if we need to dot the "is" and cross the "ts" as we get through the year, we’ll do that. That’s what we’re working on. It’s tough. Every single day it’s what I worry about and I’m going to keep doing it until we get that right deal that continues to expand the audience for TNA. Having said that, with everything we’re doing right now with AXS TV, YouTube, TNA+, the numbers are all up and we continue to grow. That’s just part of what you have to do to show potential partners the power and the potential of TNA Wrestling.”
