Me neither. I haven’t had access (there’s a pun there) :lolbron:

To TNA in years now. Google Fiber never had any of their channels they been on.

I can’t remember the last ep I saw. Maybe the Broken Hardy’s stuff
Xfinity carried in the city but when I moved it wasn’t on the lineup anymore. And I’m only like 6 miles out.

Anthem is so fukking weird and directionless when it comes to how to promote/produce Impact, but good luck. It's a step up from Pursuit (their own channel :mjlol:), for sure.

This would be dope but honestly anything would be a step up from Pursuit at this point. We knew that was gonna be a whole hot mess when we googled Pursuit and the first thing we saw was a deer carcass giveaway.

I feel like they thought Pursuit was gonna be a short term solution and they've been there a lot longer than they planned to be. Hopefully this works out for them. Impact isn't perfect but they've improved a lot and have been mostly pretty solid for awhile now.

Report: Impact Wrestling And AXS Negotiating TV Deal | Fightful Wrestling

It looks like Impact Wrestling has found a new home in the form of AXS.

According to a new report by Voices of Wrestling, Impact Wrestling -- the former TNA -- is close to landing on AXS TV. This after years of instability that has seen them go from Spike TV to Destination America to Pop TV to Pursuit, as well as Twitch. It was noted that the deal isn't done and there have been hold ups in relation to it.

The move to Pursuit has been a tumultuous one. Both Impact and Pursuit are owned by Anthem, but Pursuit has made constant errors, including not returning from commercials, and playing the wrong episodes of IMPACT.

Fightful has reached out to AXS on the matter. At the time, AXS also hosts New Japan Pro Wrestling content, in addition to WOW Women of Wrestling. The latter actually features Impact stars Tessa Blanchard and Kiera Hoganheavily.

Even though AXS will be home to Impact, it doesn't look like a potential partnership with New Japan Pro Wrestling is on the horizon. Fightful spoke to three sources within NJPW who said that it's very unlikely unless AXS actually acquires the whole promotion, and one who said that Impact has tried to "repair the broken bridge" that exists between the two companies, and while the gesture was appreciated, didn't change much.

IMPACT Wrestling hosts their Slammiversary event this weekend at 8 PM EST on pay-per-view. Fightful will have full, live coverage of the show.


:ohhh:That would be a huge move from where they are now

:dead:
