According to The Wrestling Observer, National Wrestling Alliance President and heel manager in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Bruce Tharpe, recently met with SpikeTV officials in New York City.

The meeting was to potentially get the NWA on SpikeTV, however Tharpe was told by Spike execs that while there might be interest in bringing wrestling back to the network, nothing is on the table right now for the NWA or any other wrestling promotion.

SpikeTV reportedly wants to air shows which draw more interest from women than wrestling does, so in addition to SpikeTV Bruce Tharpe is also looking at other TV possibilities.

Man I don't know about putting The NWA on national TV in its current state

Reminder that the entire reason TNN changed to Spike was to be "the channel for guys to watch".

Spike can't decided whether if it has tits or a penis

^they probably a tumblr account too

Spike should probably focus on getting actual viewers before they focus on getting actual female viewers. I distinctly recall literally everything other than TNA (and often including TNA) on their channel being crap for most of the time I watched it. lol

Why not go after a women's wrestling promotion? It doesn't honestly feel like much of a stretch for them.
