who's excited for the return of Xplosion?

I’m guessing this is replacing BTI (Before The Impact).

If anyone doubted the value of Nic Nemeth. 1 million views in 3 days.

Was there any indication from the AAA announcement the other day that we'd be less likely to see Vikingo in AEW going forward?

I don't think the announcement is any real difference to the previous working arrangement they had.

TNA Impact notes this week:

Spoiler

Jake Something beat Kushida, Vikingo, Trey Miguel, Speedball and Laredo Kid in a 6 way match.
GYV beat Eric Young and Kazarian. Then after the match Kazarian turned heel and attacked Eric Young, and said this is supposed to be his year.
Nic Nemeth cut a promo saying he's gonna earn his way to a TNA World Title shot, then Maclin showed up and said Nemeth is here to use TNA to get to somewhere else, Maclin said nobody will remember Nemeth, they'll just ask what happend to Dolph Ziggler, then Nemeth laid out Maclin with a ZigZag.
Josh Alexander beat Will Ospreay in a great main event.
Scott D'Amore cut a passionate in ring promo about TNA being back to end the show.

Next Week:

What a great episode of TV. Production was night and day compared to previous years and you could see how invested everyone from the talent and fans were.

 

[Cleavy]

They put it on YouTube

Spoiler: roster appearances from tapings, unsure if permanent

Simon Gotch and Big Damo (fka Killian Dain). the latter might be a once-off?

 

[Cleavy]

he's coming!

he's coming!

Hope TNA have Ali and Nemeth locked down. They're in for a big growth year.

PPV numbers for HTK look fantastic too. 8k on PPV and Meltzer reckons that's 1/3 of total buys factoring in digital. It's already their best buys since the Omega v Swann PPV but could (and probably should) be their best buys since the Spike era.

TNA Impact notes this week:

Spoiler

After Chris Bey beat Kevin Knight, GYV attacked Bey and Austin. They have an eye on the tag titles. Santino then made a best of 3 series for the tag titles between ABC and GYV starting next week.
Backstage Kazarian said he'll explain his actions next week.
Then Top Dolla said he wanted to be in Rich Swann's corner vs Hendry. Swann rejected the offer.
Jordynne Grace retained the Knockouts Title vs Trinity.
Backstage Alan Angels invited Josh Alexander to a new talk show called "The Sound Check".
Nic Nemeth beat Zachary Wentz. Maclin then jumped Nemeth post-match, but then Nemeth hit the Danger Zone (aka ZigZag) on Maclin.
Okada and The MCMG beat Moose, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers in a 6 man tag in the main event. Okada was announced as a Never Openweight 6 man tag champ due to it being taped before him vacating it.

Not only did Jordynne Grace have surprise Royal Rumble appearance, but it's currently the most viewed video on WWE's twitter - with over 2 million views.

Unbelievable, really.

Speculating alongside the above, just last week Santino teased TNA moving to a major network and which network made several tweets about Grace and her appearance, tagging TNA? USA Network. USA giving a show on another network a plug is so out of character, it's hard not to put one and one together.

Can't imagine TNA could have had a hotter start to 2024 than they have.

Loving TNA. Re-brand has been justified. Good to watch a company happy to do their thing where the fanbase just enjoy what they're watching.

 

[Cleavy]

wait a sec, how long has that "we're back" banner been there?!

I added it a couple of days ago.

I added it a couple of days ago.

Can any Tom, Dick or Harry add them or just mods?

 

[Nugett]

it feels like TNA are like my Hawks, set money aside for free agents and no takers.

We definitely know that pain, although I think we dodged a bullet with missing out on Mackay though!

 

[Nugett]

Makes 7 figures from Only Fans so can wrestle where she wants. TNA book women better than any other North American company and give her time to compete in weight lifting competitions. No brainer in that regard.



Would definitely give the title match a watch. It was one of the matches of the night. I didn't think Trinity had a good match like this in her, but it blew away my expectations.

TNA knock outs division has been going strong for years. Gail Kim, Mickey James, even the Beautiful People stable was entertaining in its time. Only down side was Dixie Carter! With me mentioning them names, it probably shows how long ago I actually watched TNA.
