Sources have confirmed to Between The Ropes the following details on TNA Wrestling's television future.

This Tuesday's TNA Impact tapings on May 31 at Universal Orlando are cancelled. With the Fox Sports Net deal expiring this weekend, television will go dark temporarily.

As we've speculated all week, TNA will begin on Monday nights in prime time on WGN from 8:00pm - 10:00pm ET. The start date on WGN will be the day after Slammiversary - Monday, June 20.

The WGN show will air live every other week on Monday's from Universal Orlando. Shows will be taped on Tuesday's to then air the following week. The first live show will be Monday, June 20 with a taping on June 21 to air on Monday, June 27 on WGN.

TNA should make an official announcement imminently.

I, for one, am happy that it's going to be on WGN. Finally! An alternative to WWE. Although, from the way people speak of TNA, it doesn't seem like much of an alternative, but right now I'll take what I can get!

Hopefully this will give WWE some hunger to put on good shows again.

I Guess Tha Spike TV Deal Didnt Go Thru.

The New Monday Night Wars Begin. WWE Will Win The Ratings For A Little While, Until Matt Hardy Makes His TNA Appearance. Lookin Forward To It.

Hopefully someone over here will pick this up, but I dunno who. I suppose the Wrestling Channel could show it, since they show old TNA stuff at the minute.

Yeah, I'm excited about this also, but damn we've got to wait a few more weeks before we could see TNA on a Monday. Lately RAW has been good, but in a month or a year or so, TNA will probably be giving RAW a run for its money.

MONDAY NIGHT WARS ALL OVER AGAIN!! GRREEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!!
