ROH on COMET (and TNA on pop)

You know, I never gave my "theory" on the whole DA and TNA/ ROH thing so here it is.
I think someone at Discovery heard there's a wrestling company looking for a new network. Considering most network executives probably aren't fans of professional wrestling, they didn't know the difference between TNA and WWE. So they probably thought, if we put wrestling on DA, it will get ratings like RAW gets. The realist truth is, Impact has not and probably will never do a 3 or 4 in the ratings. So when DA realized they won't get that high of ratings, they figured, if he get a cheaper wrestling show (ROH is already syndicated) we can get the same ratings at a cheaper cost.... They brought in ROH and it only does half the ratings Impact does. So at the end of the year, when it came time to renew both companies contracts, DA said fuck it and decided to do more cheap reality shows than to pay to put wrestling on tv
