Nah, that's a freebie for reaching 2 mil subscribers on YouTube. They've got another Twitch special coming up this Friday.

EDIT: Special happened (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/349245410), was a fun 2.5 hours of free wrestling - especially the scramble and the triple threat tag team match.

From my brief look at their Twitter it looks like pursuit channel is a network about deer hunting, so I imagine impact at 10pm on Friday nights will do gangbusters there

Yeah, I didn't know about this one. Just that they were really calm and near cocky about their 2019 TV situation going back a good while.

But yeah the station looks almost fictional.

They'll have to do the MLW "free to YouTube" thing with their weekly TV show or else they're going to lose a lot of whatever fanbase they still have

They should put the episodes on their Pluto channel for the hell of it - that has over 10 million users now

So they got put on a channel that barely exists, which is owned by the company that owns them (so they get no money), and they're in a death timeslot. I can see why they were so optimistic.

They were getting money from Pop but it was like 1% of their estimated operating costs. The bulk of their money comes from international markets, but as wrestling starts to catch more in those markets, that will likely diminish.

Yes, TNA will finally die when Bangladesh finally has its own wrestling promotion.

In a year's time, they'll be moving to the Livestock channel, with wrestling just happening in some ratty ring in the background while the fans all pay attention to the awesome cattle auctioneers instead.

i'll be honest, existing on a TV channel nobody gets, being watched by nobody, seems incredibly appropriate for TNA

So ROH is owned by CHUDS and now TNA is in bed with the NRA.

Peak TNA is that they seem to have a product that approaches decent now that they disappear into the aether.

Finally a watchable program, that can be watched by no one.
