SpikeTV is said to be very happy with TNA Wrestling's performance in its first month of programming. The ratings have been so good that Spike has given TNA its first 2-hour primetime special this Thursday night.
Spike has been very supportive of the TNA product thus far, but has suggested that TNA sign more recognizable names to appear on television. Specifically, SpikeTV has told TNA they would like to see the company bring in several wrestlers from the late WCW era who didn't jump to WWE when WCW was bought out.
Many within TNA feel that bringing in wrestlers from the past purely for their name value is a major mistake. They feel that to be a true alternative product to WWE's "sports entertainment", TNA needs to concentrate on presenting innovative, competitive matches and developing compelling personalities.
