According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Ring of Honor owners Sinclair Broadcasting might now be in play regarding TNA’s future.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer noted that Sinclair Broadcasting has shown an interest in acquiring TNA Wrestling, and two big reasons why Sinclair is interested is because of TNA’s large tape library and international deals which are already in place.
In related news, Sinclair Broadcasting is said to be looking into rebranding the Tennis Channel as The American Sports Network, which would entail the Network expanding its sports content, and might prove to be a good place for Ring of Honor Wrestling. The Tennis Channel has clearance in 40-50 million homes nationwide, and as noted Ring of Honor Joe Koff recently mentioned there’s a possibility ROH TV could expand to two hours of TV time per-week.

The two best brands in the biz effectively “merging” would be great for pro wrestling, and help fix the damage Vince McMahon has done to the industry over the past 30 years plus.
I agree Dixie should retain control, since it is her genius that has kept TNA alive through networks treating them like garbage, etc.
TNA’s tape library has some awesome stuff, the Ultimate X matches, MCMG vs Beer Money, etc etc.
Such an underrated company.
Instead of people crying about the backstage, they should focus on the great stuff TNA has put on in the ring……
IMPACT has been great lately too.
There is always something to whine and cry about, but if you are a wrestling fan and can’t appreciate people practicing the craft, um yeah, turn in your pro wrestling fan membership card at the door.
I am going to Global Wars.
It is amazing I will be seeing the IWGP champ in person – AND Okada.
I have always read in PWI about the IWGP champion, and I will see that in person.
It is surreal.
ROH…..
Along with TNA….. the best brands, and the best PRO WRESTLING fans in the biz.
I just saw Global Wars is sold out too.
Global Wars > Wrestlemania 32
Yeah.
TNA is so terrible that Levesque is going after any and all TNA people he could get his hands on.
And all these guys that the IWC Universe have bashed for years…..
are suddenly Gods because they are in the minor league pathetic vanilla no-ratings NXT.

I hate AND ABSOLUTELY DESPISE Pamela Rose Martinez.
She is so ugly and little.

They said she was hurt, but it was only a work.
