This year will be a “giant year” in the wrestling business with the negotiation of TV rights fees for both WWE and TNA.
Both need basic cable to survive, wrote Jim Ross on a blog today, but both come to the big year in TV rights deals from different positions of power.
Ross sees WWE getting a major bump in their rights fees from a cable network, “but I don’t hold the same optimism for TNA.”
“Trust me, I hope that both companies score big time, but it’s all about leverage in these types of negotiations (as in what have you done for me lately?), plus the ability to go LIVE on a weekly basis that most networks find very desirous.”
