Great news for Impact. I can't find any data online about how AXS compares to other US cable channels though.

Its got more households than Pursuit! (Like most public access channels do I suppose)

I must admit that I find it hilarious that even after 2-3 years of ignoring all of Impact's efforts to be friends, NJPW now find themselves having their US broadcast partner owned by the same company as Impact.

Fuck. Steve Harvey will join the broadcast table before the years out won’t he

There's no Killer Kross on that image.. Did I miss him coming to an agreement on his release or are they not just not booking him but ignoring the fact he's there even?!

He'd gone but not released as far as I can determine.
He was booked on the AAA shows this weekend but now Impact are involved, he's not.

Isn't he dating Scarlett Bordeaux? I know he was super critical of how the company was paying her. 

There was talk they were pissed he didn't blade during that match with Eddie Edwards as well and instead used a blood capsule because he didn't think they had adequate medical backstage on hand if anything went wrong and the company was cutting corners everywhere.

Any truth to the rumor that impact wrestling are in talks to buy ring of honor?

Yes, apparently Bordeaux as living with her mother her entire Impact run.
It seems odd they are refusing to release him as nobody else has had any problems whatsoever [as far as I know]

Impact would struggle to afford a Meal Deal, never mind a rival wrestling promotion

You’d think. But they just got into bed with AXS

2016 just called, it wants its banter back.

You can't call someone out on an outdated reference by doing the "<year> called" thing, surely?
