Impact Wrestling Not Negotiating With Spike TV Despite Rumors, Why Spike Executive Was At Impact Wrestling Tapings

Impact Wrestling Not Negotiating With Spike

Sporting News’ Brian Fritz is reporting that Impact Wrestling and Spike TV have not had discussions about the wrestling companies return. Fritz received a statement from Impact and explains why a Spike TV executive was at the recent Impact Wrestling tapings. You can read those below:

Fritz (@BrianFritz) tweeted this statement from Spike:

Spike statement: Spike TV officials confirm that Scott Fishman was there for personal reasons — and is not negotiating any deals. That statement from @Spike was issued by David Schwarz, Vice President of Communications
Jason Powell of @prowrestlingnet has reported for months that Fishman has been backstage at various @IMPACTWRESTLING tapings. However, each time he was there visiting friends and not working on any business deals. Fishman lives in the Central Florida area. Of course, @IMPACTWRESTLING tapes their shows at Universal Studios, also in central FL so it’s not far from where Fishman lives. Fishman has plenty of friends with @IMPACTWRESTLING considering that the promotion aired on @spike for over nine years.

So, despite making a deal with Spike in the UK, they are not negotiating a return in the US. Impact’s current television deal with @PopTV expires late in 2017.
