Just read the Destination X spoilers. Sounds like another fantastic edition.

No surprise that people are hailing a show built around wrestling and the X-Division that started it all as one of the best in a long while.

The follow up ECW style hardcore war sounds like it was pretty good too.

Impact Wrestling -- CANCELLED By Spike TV

http://www.tmz.com/2014/07/27/impact-wrestling-cancelled-spike-tv-tna/

TNA Wrestling's flagship show "Impact Wrestling" could soon be without a home -- Spike TV quietly let the league know it's not renewing their TV contract … TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the deal ... tell us Spike execs contacted TNA President Dixie Carter late last week to break the news -- and the following day Carter informed members of her inner circle.

TNA's current deal with Spike reportedly runs through October. It's unclear at this point when "Impact Wrestling" will stop airing on Spike.

We're told there's no bad blood, and Spike gave TNA such advance notice so it would have time to shop for a new TV deal.

TNA's show debuted on Spike TV in October 2005 -- and helped the league rise to #2 on the wrestling scene … behind the WWE.

We've called TNA and Spike for comment ... so far, no word back.

Damn :(

I'd take it with a grain of salt until it's confirmed by a source with a bit more credibility than TMZ, but the rumours are certainly out there.

Here's hoping they can find a new home. They've got a strong following in England, so that's always an option. Might be hard to convince their workers to head over there full-time, though.

What TNA needs to help it find a new TV deal is to bring a big name legend to draw in more interest, maybe someone like Hogan.

Observer is running with the same story too.

Isn't looking good for TNA but then again with so many different wrestlers leaving the company, it seemed obvious that this was the direction it was heading in.

The sad thing is, their product is the best it has been in a long time. Tragic that the thing they needed to do (stop relying on old, washed up workers) was what Spike wanted them to do.

Yeah it's hard to get a read on what Viacom want, it may be as JR suggests they are trying to buy a share again (please Bob) or pushing the price down......hopefully it's one of them rather than Viacom wanting out of professional wrestling period.

Looks like TNA are bringkng Jessicka Havoc into the Knovkouts Division. It will be interesting to see how they use her as she has a very unique look and is built like a tank!

Willow has gone back to being Jeff Hardy for the last 2-3 weeks. He fought for the TNA Title as Hardy, then was in a Tag Title match between The Wolves and The Hardy Boyz.

The last few weeks have been excellent. Return of Low Ki, Homicide, The Hardy Boyz, and The Dudley Boyz. Some very good X-Division matches and Tag Team matches. Bobby Lashley is doing a good job as a brutal World Title holder. And the Dixie Carter vs Bully Ray storyline is coming to a head (thank god for that, dragged out a bit too long). And Vince Russo got fired.

So yes, it is worth a look.
