Deadline.com reports that the crew of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge show walked off the job on Wednesday morning. Production was underway on season 3 of the popular competition reality show on CMT. The crew is demanding an IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) status, which would afford them health benefits, pension and other benefits of a union contract. The Motion Picture Editor’s Guild and IATSE are representing both production and post-production workers on the show and are putting up a picket line outside the offices of show producers 51 Minds Entertainment. No word yet on how close the matter is to being resolved, but we’ll post an update when it becomes…

WWE recently issued a survey to fans who signed up and attended recent WWE live events asking them about the product and what they did and didn’t like about the WWE Network, including one very interesting question. The most interesting question asked on the survey was what time fans would prefer WWE pay-per-views to start, giving 1pm, 5pm, 7pm and 8pm as options. Obviously 1pm and 5pm would be rough, as that would be 10am and 2pm on the west coast. With the WWE Network and the lower cost, start times for pay-per-views are far less important and it’s also part of the reason why WWE is able to do…

This week’s Impact Wrestling, featuring the blowoff to the TNA vs. Global Force invasion angle, took a major hit in viewership from the previous week. The first airing of Impact drew 258,000 viewers, down 20% from 323,000 last week. The replay did 62,000 viewers, down from 96,000 last week. Impact’s total viewership was 320,000, down a sharp 24% from last week’s 419,000. Definitely not a good sign for TNA’s “ongoing negotiations” with Destination America as they hope to extend their run on the network into 2016. ROH TV only drew 89,000 viewers, down 36% from 138,000 last week. Both shows went up against the Republican debate on CNN, which was…
