– SpikeTV’s Senior vice president of sports and specials, Brian Diamond, told Alex Marvez of Scripps News his expectations for this Monday’s RAW vs. iMPACT! battle. Here is what he said: “I don’t think we’re necessarily going to win that night (ratings-wise), but I do feel we’re best equipped going into battle with the product as it is right now,” Diamond said. “We’re all feeling very excited and confident about taking a shot and throwing our hat in the ring.”
Diamond also spoke about the need for providing better storylines than WWE to gain an advantage: “Part of the discussion we have with TNA is what do we need to do to raise the bar and make things better,” he said. “Stronger talent and storylines are the key.” Visit ScrippsNews.com to read the full interview.
