syxx2001 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2003 Apparently, the NWA-TNA tried to buy a national ad on Spike TV during Raw to help advertise their promotion. However, they were caught doing it and weren't allowed to place the ad. Credit: WObserver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syxx2001 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 Since they couldn't buy a national ad, they are gonna buy small ads like Houston, Seattle, Chicago, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
