Pretty cool. I've been a watcher of AMC for ages due to the Walking Dead so I'm happy for them getting this deal.

AMC even teased something. Seems the show will be starting January 15th.

It's actually happening. PWInsider said the premiere will air from Dallas, which is where Genesis is supposed to take place. Will they turn it into a TV special? Probably not, but you never know.

Also, you got the TV deal, so now you can stop booking like you want epic moments to stick in a documentary where you can show off your "record breaking crowds" ... and ideally tell WWE to f off, but that won't happen

Apparently this guy has some sort of cred. I can't believe it, if it's actually true. Sink or swim time.

Well the AMC deal is now official. They even made it to Hollywood Reporter, lol.


"Thursday Night Impact" with the premiere indeed from the Curtis Culwell Center, so I really do wonder if this ep will be promoted as "Genesis" or if they will just do the PPV later in January.

Will be interesting to see who re-signs in the run up to the premiere.

(Also dear god I wish we had Scott around to book these shows lol)

Multi year 30m is ... Not a lot of money? Hopefully it does give them some cash to pay more talent but operations and what I assume will have to be an updated stage and production costs might eat a lot of that? I'm curious to see how they pull this off.

More wrestling on TV is good though regardless of my personal feelings towards the product currently

I’m happy it’ll be on a network that I’m able to watch so I can start watching TNA regularly again.

Ah, PWInsider said the NXT deal isn't ending.

SRS is saying TNA told him that WWE actually *helped* them, and will have a bigger update later today. I find it so funny that TNA is openly like "yeah they helped us" :lol I thought Carlos Silva is a huge genius who turned the company around!!11
