True but it is a bit weird having to promotions what are in
competition with each other on the same night and channel ..

together..

I hope not. Most of the comments ive read on this story are very
negative towards TNA, with one page saying TNA has been
cancelled (with zero proof) & is now dead.
If it was 100% cancelled & done, why announce a huge UK tour for
2016?

UK tour

I as a wrestling fan am looking to June 3 to finally get to
watch ROH. It will be fun watching both ROH and TNA back to
back. Plus on our cable system there is a channel that show
repeat programming of WWE Raw so I will get the best of all
three shows on the same night. My DVR is going to be busy on
Wed. nights. I have to DVR because I'm busy on Wed. nights.
