Also, next week's Impact is bound to have poor audience, imo, as this was announced on such short notice and barely promoted last night. All the promoting of it has been going on TNA website, twitter, facebook, wrestlers promoting it online and similar. If there is 1 million viewers next week, Iit'll be awesome. This rating system is obviously flawed and the numbers aren't actually accurate, but what can you do. Gotta live with them.

I also think this pretty much gives away that they either renewed it already or are very close to doing so.

Huh, interesting. This will benefit me greatly, as watching both IW and NXT on Friday wasn't cutting it. Distributing stuff is always better.

They're probably going to move NXT.

while a big :yay: for this meaning a new TV deal, I wonder how relevant this move is since nobody watches both Impact and Smackdown.

Move NXT to Wednesdays? I'd dislike that

"Wednesday night debut episode of IMPACT Wrestling had an average audience of 852.000 viewers, the lowest viewership in years."

Obviously, expected news. People need to be aware of this move to Wednesday night to get back to regular 1+ million viewers. [HASHTAG]#PromoteIMPACT[/HASHTAG]

I honestly believe though, TNA will get back to that 1+ million in next two-three shows and moving forward will keep that number steady.

Kudos to the talent for not being butt-hurt over losing the faithful four (Jarrett, AJ, Daniels, Kazarian)
No Sting has been a good thing, as the show is now being booked to cater to the talents.
This all looks an awful lot like early WCW (pre Hogan) where none of the talent had been appearing had been hogging it the past 5 years.

I could only imagine what SpikeTV is expecting moving forward from a program that gives them more than what they might, otherwise, have.

They really did a poor job of promoting the move do Wednesday nights. Granted they only had one show to do so, but they should've re-edited the deal and put it there every 15 minutes, and re-do commentary to have Tenay talk about it more than he mentioned Rellik was killer spelled backwards.

Kenny King is a dou*** who will never achieve greatness.
Spud, Joe or Aries are better. WHy? Because I said so.
