i hope they get a tv deal and get in more markets and become a compeitor to wwe and tna needs to step it up too :)
 
Sinclair itself is in mostly smaller markets. If it is going to take off it needs affiliates in larger markets. It has been awhile since wrestling was a big deal in OTA syndication but it used to be the bread and butter of the sport. Heckbetween the WWF and NWA Saturday used to be wrestling day.
