I was just checking the channel guide for RAW and TNA. RAW runs from 8-10:05. TNA is running from 8-10:08. They are scrambling for those 3 extra minutes. Do they really think 3 minutes will help them steal a ratings war with RAW? Especially during Wrestlemania season.
What do you think the odds are that the Sunday that Wrestlemania is on that TNA has a special broadcast?

The cable companies won't go for that. If Spike tries to put free wrestling on Wrestlemania Sunday, it could take buys away from the PPV show, and cable companies make big money from PPV events. WCW felt the same wrath back in the 80s when they put free wrestling in competition with Wrestlemania.
