They own a TV channel specialising in Wrestling and combat sports, so not all that baffling is it? 

They're also in massive financial trouble, buying a dead brand that brings in no money is a hell of a risk.

After the Mecca debacle and about 2/3 of the posters moving over to Asylum, the place has settled and gone about it’s ‘it’s great, everything else is bad’ way, even in the face of evidence to the contrary. 

Well, the mood has changed and it took (and I kid you not) Ring Of Honor’s Final Battle 2017 being the good show it was (and being received as such) for many of the posters to realise that Impact isn’t as great as they think it is.

That’s in terms of presentation, operations, crowds, wrestling, etc.

OSW Review have their latest show up on TNA Bound For Glory 2017

Couple of things from that OSW episode which really hit home how much of a shitarse company TNA has become

if you're going to rebrand (again) by sticking a big Impact Wrestling sticker on the belt, put it on all the fucking logos. There's another part in which the Grand Championship has half of its sticker missing

TNA Axxess

That clip of Johnny Xplosion and Del Rio at the end looked like such a cheap Lucha Underground knock-off, the dive from behind the camera was pretty sweet though.

Reminds me of when Lance Storm won most of the titles in WCW and “re-branded” them by putting stickers of them.

how can you get every name wrong in a graphic for a pre-recorded show?

Because.. TNA. Or was that just rhetorical?!

Watching a show I recorded on Treasure TV that came up on my sky planner search for wrestling. It's flogging off outdated TNA merch at over the top prices.

 

Presenter has a guy called Martin Goldsmith on, who apparently used to organise the WWF UK tours in the 80s and at least early 90s, and used to handle WWF merch in the UK. He says he then later went on to do TNA's UK business dealings like tours, TV deals, and merch.

 

I'd be genuinely interested if anyone at all bought anything off this show. Any takers for a £47 signed Magnus picture?

They should try shifting those Ammunition Team tshirts they had made up from AJ Styles nearly came back with Anderson & Gallows

[Jon-Carr_92]

Those were £15 in the EuroStore. The only ones I ever got on there was a Dixie Carter one and Robbie E which was a random selection as part of a promotion they were doing with a shirt (your choice) I got the Gail Kim one, though I imagine it was a sneaky clearance sale while they were at it considering the limited range and an Impact cap. That was how much they sold them at the tours as well.

Great find... fucking horrendous. There’s some kind of points based quiz in there somewhere. In fact unless you watched it there’s bound to be some great answers to quiz questions.

Hang on, you bought a Dixie Carter signed photo? If so, erm, why?

[Weezenal]

Sounds like it came with a shirt he bought rather than buying it on its own. I hope that's the case anyway.
