Spike TV formally ends their relationship with the UFC:
"The Ultimate Fighter" season 14 in September will be our last. We are increasing our commitment to distinctive, original series that we own such as "Auction Hunters" and "Bar Rescue" which are delivering on our goal to reach a broader audience. Our 6-year partnership with the UFC has been incredibly beneficial in building both our brands, and we wish them all the best in the future."

I think we can all agree that FIght Night events just won’t be the same without Mike Goldberg endlessly plugging MANswers.

Spike TV: Because gosh darn it, there just isn’t enough programming aimed at the male lowest common denominator.

I'll miss
“Vampire Sexuality”
1. Anderson Silva is waiting for you to punch him.
2. That guy is Anderson Silva.
3. Don't fucking punch that guy.

I don't have it handy
but I heard it live on the broadcast and could not stop laughing. Somebody has to have that full interplay with Rogan on Vampire Sexuality

This was at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 5 right before the premiere of the TV show "Blade".
Mike Goldberg: "Don’t forget coming up next it’s Blade the series…plenty of action, violence, vampire sexuality!"
Rogan: "Vampire sexuality, what’s that?"
Goldberg: "I don’t know, it was on a card they put in front of me"
If Bellator really does go to Spike, I could see them doing UFC numbers just based off the channel.
Which in turn would be what every Pride Fan Boy wants right now…a competitor to Zuffa.

they won’t. TNA isn’t doing what WWE did on Spike. they’ll do better than they are on mtv2, but spike alone won’t make them a competitor to the UFC, especially if it happens while the UFC is making a major step forward.
Not sure what TNA did
But some people will just see a cage and MMA and think “hey its cagefighting again live tomorrow night”

And how long until Bellator gets purchased if they are able to be successful on Spike?
Thats what I want to know?
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

That was classy of Spike… on another note, SPIKE! YOU SUCK! I’ll be dropping your channel the minute the UFC doesn’t air anything on it, and save that $2 per month. Ha!
you have an a la carte programming package?

If you haven’t already, you should check out Storage Wars. It’s basically the same, except it follows four competing buyers instead of a two-man team. I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but it also seems more authentic when they show how much money is made/lost.

Obviously a lot of the stuff is staged, or played up for TV (Barry bringing psychics/midget on a stilt to help him, repeated storylines with Brandi/Jarrod, etc.), but I feel like they accurately show how much money is made or lost. On AH, they only show when they hit it big, but on SW they have both wins and losses. Also on AH, the guys will say, “I think this could go for…$1,500” and they just seem to use that optimistic guess as a fact, while the guys on SW will give their guess and then have a different number used when they actually tally it up. Again I’m not an expert so I could be wrong, but at least that part about the show seems genuine, even if other parts aren’t.
Auction Hunters
is a depiction of their stories. Ton and Allen have been doing it for years and they re-enact the stories for tv.

It seems too fake to me. I’ve only ever seen them make big scores, not lose money. Makes me think everything is planted.

I don’t like that either. That’s why I like Storage Wars, sometimes they lose money. To be fair though, it does give a disclaimer saying something like “this only represents the most extreme examples.” I do find the two guys they follow to be real annoying, whereas I actually like 3/4 of the bidders on SW.
Yeah I stopped watching as soon as I read the disclaimer
It’s almost as bad as operation repo with the recreations. Storage wars on the other hand is awesome. Got to love Barry.

Yeah like Jeff said, Storage Wars is much better. You have diverse characters and you only have one douche PLUS 5 other characters instead of one douche and another guy.

I have to confess I really dig Bar Rescue,
but I’m also a sucker for reality trash like that.
"No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true."
Hell Yea
That show is really good. I always have always wanted to own a bar, and this is a cool way to look at how bars/restaurants run.
Yiep. The statistics and "bar science" they explain is also awesome.

Auction Hunter seems like a pathetic grab at Pawn Stars or American Pickers.

No reason to tune into spike now!

I think it’s funny that “the man channel” wants to reach a broader audience. I don’t think it’s going to work out.
