    ... a nonce clown.

    Pogo the clown is a nonce? What's the story here, Ian?

     

    That was the gimmick. It was based on John Wayne Gacy, a nonce clown called "Pogo the Clown."

     

    Christ. I think I may have seen one of his matches, and remember seeing his picture quite a few times in Powerslam and other wrestling mags around the time (inc whatever one Apter had during that period- WOW, maybe?). Never realised that was what the gimmick was about.

  2. I saw a GIF of it. Looked pretty mad.

     

    I also saw that TNA have a new deal with Fight Network. Not sure how big of a deal this is, but it will be interesting to see what is meant by "new content":

    – Fight Network, the world’s premier 24/7 multi-platform channel dedicated to complete coverage of combat sports, and TNA Entertainment announced today they have entered into a comprehensive content partnership to seize a global digital audience for fight-based content.

     

    Fight Network’s over-the-top (OTT) app available on digital platforms will become the global home for TNA Wrestling content starting in the second quarter of this year. Fight Network and TNA Wrestling will collaborate to produce digital content and will also partner on cross-promotion and joint sales efforts in global markets, as well as in the U.S. and Canada.

     

    Fight Network’s OTT app is available on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Verizon Go90, Layer 3 and KlowdTV.

     

    Fight Network is currently the home of TNA Wrestling programming in Canada, including its two hour flagship weekly program IMPACT WRESTLING, TNA Wrestling’s Greatest Matches and TNA Xplosion. Fight Network will now also air select TNA Wrestling archive programming on its linear channels in select U.S. markets and in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East where Fight Network currently broadcasts.

     

    “As a TNA Wrestling broadcast partner, we see the quality of the content, the viewer reaction and the potential to bring great programming to the world,” said Leonard Asper, CEO of Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. “Our global OTT service now available on several platforms will be immeasurably strengthened by this partnership and we see this as just the first step in building global fight themed destination channel together.”

     

    “Our enhanced partnership with Fight Network to deliver new and archived content through linear and over-the-top platforms, as well as to bring TNA programming to new and emerging markets around the world, is a significant step in the execution of TNA’s strategic plan,” said TNA president Dixie Carter. “Fans are hungry for easily accessible content they can view on demand, and come this summer, the action of TNA IMPACT WRESTLING will be more available than ever.”

  3. Just watched this week's Impact on Challenge, and it was actually quite a good show. Usually when I watch, there are parts where I completely zone out/start doing something tedious like check social media, but this week I watched all the way through. Beer Money and the EC3/Hardy stuff was good, as was the Knockouts match. Eli Drake seems decent as well, confident on the mic and solid in ring.
