Reports: Spike TV cancels TNA Reaction
TNA Reaction has been canceled by Spike TV, according to various Web reports. The final episode of the show will air Thursday night.
Personally, I liked the show because it was completely different than any other televised wrestling program. The documentary-style backstage footage gave the product a realistic feel, and by giving the talent an opportunity to talk in that setting, it helped them connect with the audience.
I did, however, think Reaction -- which was created by Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey's production company -- needed to be tweaked a bit. Because the show featured a lot of talking, it often felt like the program would have worked better running 30 minutes instead of an hour. The other thing that bothered me about the show was the frequent use of insider terms, which I thought was counterproductive as far as getting story lines over.

I also like this program and your suggested tweaks would have been welcomed by me. It is a good idea that Bischoff and Hervey took too far over the top. This seems to be the history of those two.

Any idea on how Spike feels about the ratings drop of Impact?

I too will miss this show. I thought it was one of the more innovative things to come out of wrestling in a long time.
