Backstage News On TNA Making The Move To Monday Nights

According to F4WOnline.com, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Dixie Carter all met with Spike TV officials last week and were reportedly trying to convince the network to give them a weekly Monday night live show for iMPACT. If you recall, Hogan mentioned this during an interview with IGN.com a few days back. While there has yet to be an official announcement, the feeling is that it is eventually going to happen. When that will come remains to be seen as there are at least no plans to push for a weekly live Monday night show in the next few weeks. This is because the company will have the next four weeks of shows taped after tonight's tapings in Orlando.

If it were to happen, TNA management are still conflicted on whether the show would air from 8-10PM (an hour before RAW starts) or go head-to-head with WWE in the 9-11PM timeslot. Spike TV is said to be very behind TNA since they were reportedly the ones that brought in Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff to the promotion. This is not withstanding that they were ecstatic with the January 4th ratings a few weeks back which scored higher numbers than this past Thursday's taped show.
