I heard that WWE wants to move Monday Night Raw to a different network channel either by the end of this year or in 2014 because WWE is losing ratings, they're not getting enough viewers watching WWE and WWE is losing a lot of money on USA Network. For some reason, USA is causing WWE: Monday Night Raw to get really low ratings and they're losing money because there's not enough people watching Raw on USA.

So that's why I was thinking about WWE moving Raw to the TNT channel and how much it'll help WWE get much higher ratings and help make WWE more money because TNT is one of the biggest and richest sports networks on basic cable television and TNT makes really, really big money too! If WWE moves Raw to TNT, they'll get higher ratings and more people will watch Raw and Raw will be at the top again because more people will watch TNT than USA Network because TNT is a much bigger network promotion than USA is. So if WWE gets a bigger T.V. deal with TNT, they'll get all of they're viewers watching Raw again! TNT would be the perfect channel to move Raw to because everyone gets that channel.

I know WCW: Monday Nitro use to air on the TNT channel from 1995 to 2001 when Ted Turner owned TNT back then. But then AOL Mercer Time-Warner cancelled WCW and forced WCW to come to an end because they got tired of the problems of WCW losing millions of dollars and for other reasons back in 2001. And also, Jamie Kellner who was over TBS and TNT said he didn't want wrestling on their networks, but now that he's gone from TBS and TNT, maybe they'll accept airing wrestling on TNT. Raw could start at its normal time from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM on TNT on Monday nights because TNT doesn't air a whole lot of shows on Monday nights and TNT has a lot of extra airing time, so WWE could easily air Raw on TNT every Monday night with plenty of extra air time!

All I know is that WWE had better talk to TNT about airing Monday Night Raw on TNT soon because WWE is going to go out of business if they stay on USA Network. I'm sure if WWE talks to AOL Time-Warner and explains the situation to them, they'll let Raw air on TNT on Monday nights weekly. Because WWE is losing too much money and ratings on USA Network. They could let Raw air on TNT for one year and see how it works out and if it doesn't work out, Raw could move to another network channel. And if TNT says they don't really want wrestling on their network, then maybe everyone could take a vote to allow wrestling on TNT again, or they could send a petition for it.

TNT really needs to pick up wrestling again because WCW ruled when it was on TNT and WWE will kick @ss on TNT! So should WWE move Monday Night Raw to TNT?

I think they should move Raw to TNT, do you?

I haven't read any reports that Time Warner has any interest in showing Professional Wrestling on any of their Television Networks and that would include TNT? When I read reports in The Mainstream Media that Time Warner has interest in Professional Wrestling, then I will believe it. Time Watner also used ot own a Major League Baseball Team, an NBA Basketball Team and an National Hockey League Team, as well as World Championship Wrestling. Notice that Time Warner sold them all off.

Where the hell are you getting your information, they do well on USA Network, and they have done so well that is why USA expanded the show to 3 hours, TNT wants nothing to do with Wrestling otherwise WCW would still be around!

I fail to see how the channel Raw is on is affecting its ratings.

It doesn't matter what channel it is on because the ratings will still be the same.
