Dixie is still saying that negotiations w/ SPIKE are ongoing, even after SPIKE announced they weren't. Rumors are floating that SPIKE made the decision shortly after they heard Russo was still working w/ TNA.

SPIKE just switched out the CEO of Bellator MMA, so I think they are wanting more out of their MMA and Pro Wrestling product than they are getting. They put Scott Coker, formerly of StrikeForce, In the spot. Strikeforce was the 2nd most successful US MMA company, w/ shows on Showtime and CBS while UFC was on SPIKE.
