Santino Marella: TNA Is Missing A Stamp Of Approval From A Big TV Network, They're Working On It

Santino Marella is confident that TNA will land a major TV deal.

TNA Wrestling began a new era by reviving the TNA name and brand at TNA Hard To Kill. The company's weekly show, TNA iMPACT!, currently airs on AXS TV, and according to Santino Marella, TNA hopes to work with a major network in the future.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella responded to Dave LaGreca, who pointed out that there are plenty of ways to watch TNA.

"The way people consume the product is changing. People stream it, but there’s still that stamp of approval you need from a big television network. That’s the only missing piece, and they’re working on it. Once we get on a channel that everyone can see, that’s when we’re going to change gears and blow up to the next level, and it’s like everyone wants to be a part of it when that happens. It’s like buying the stock before the company blows up. You want to be there during that transition because it’s gonna be history, and it’s gonna happen. I’m very confident it’s gonna happen, everyone is confident it’s gonna happen. You want to be a part of it when it happens. Not a week later. You gotta be there during that moment," Marella said.
