Personally, I've always felt like the Turner deal was inevitable. It's what Cody was clearly angling for ("Tuesday Night Dynamite?" Come on). It makes sense. They've got the widest entertainment distribution not ESPN (in bed with WWE) and USA Network (in bed with WWE). They've got a history with wrestling and therefore there's like this inherited poise about wrestling being featured on there. I seriously think that "Wrestling on TNT"/"Wresting on TBS" itself carries a nostalgia that is going to ring with people.

I've always thought that WGN America deals would be used to wriggle out CW Network, which would be used to wriggle out the bigger cable companies. Showtime carries panache, but honestly, I just think the Turner deals have more money and a larger potential for other revenue streams in them.
