There are going to be some unhappy people out there.

I’m curious as to how many viewers have lost not only Spike, but all those other channels. On my cable plan, you can choose what channels you want, and I don’t have Spike. I don’t really care for TNA, but when I do want to watch an episode, I just watch it online. I wonder what/if TNA would do because of this.
