Total Access TNA Wrestling to feature new weekly episodes of IMPACT Wrestling

Toronto, Canada (December 22, 2016) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. announced today the launch of a new TNA Impact Wrestling app in the U.K. and Ireland – Total Access TNA Wrestling – available online and on mobile platforms for £4.99 per month.

Starting on January 5, 2017, new weekly episodes of IMPACT Wrestling will be available to watch immediately on the app at the same time as they premiere on Fight Network and Pop across North America.

Fans in the U.K. can download the app at Apple’s App Store or Google Play or visit www.impactwrestling.com/ to sign up to watch online. Total Access TNA Wrestling will soon be available on more platforms, including streaming devices and gaming consoles such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Xbox.

In addition to premiere episodes of TNA’s flagship weekly show IMPACT Wrestling and Fight Network’s original weekly recap series Inside IMPACT, subscribers will have access to extensive TNA library content, including episodes of classic IMPACT Wrestling, TNA Xplosion, TNA Wrestling’s Greatest Matches, TNA British Boot Camp, TNA Epics, TNA Unfinished Business and TNA Legends, plus the latest live pay-per-view events, classic pay-per-view events, One Night Only specials and more.

“The IMPACT Wrestling brand has always maintained a strong presence across the U.K. and Ireland and the Total Access TNA Wrestling app will ensure our loyal fans there have the opportunity to watch premiere IMPACT Wrestling episodes and TNA pay-per-views in real time for the first time,” said Anthem Executive Vice President Ed Nordholm. “There are many exciting plans in the works for Impact Wrestling

in 2017 and the U.K. remains an important focus for us. As we continue our digital expansion, subscribers will have access to more content than ever before, including exclusive shows, series available on-demand, and more content to be rolled out on the app in the coming months.”

I thought it was going to be £1.99?

[xCompackx]

TNA's network price being about half of WWE's price is a pretty accurate description of TNA as a whole.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Yeah I can't wait to pay and see the reverse battle royal and Sharmell vs Jenna Morasca.

Like Eric the Midget in his meet and greet, this app will raise zero point zero buys.

I guarantee a Dixie Carter reality show becomes one of the exclusive shows.

Honestly, its about time. TNA utilized and embraced youtube and social media way before WWE did. Online content should be very important avenue for them, since most people cut cable and satellite a long time ago and haven't had access to destination america and now pop tv. I don't mind paying 4.99 a month instead of trying to hunt down the complete shows on YouTube.

They should ape that slogan WWE tried to push for a couple weeks, too. TNA Network: Just like Netflix, but worse.

[Chainsaw]

I hope this fails spectacularly. No one in their right mind should be paying money for this.

This being TNA, I see the slogan being something like this:

"The TNA Network: It's just like the service run by THAT COMPANY UP NORTH, but better!"

Considering how TNA's UK presence was waning before Challenge cancelling and the rise of UK based promotions, this is a very tough sell. Especially since those promotions also offer a streaming service and do regular, live shows. Why spend money to see Eddie Edwards vs EC3 when you can see ZSJ vs Matt Riddle? Plus how lax TNA is in protecting their intellectual rights on Youtube, a full version of Impact would be on there within a couple of hours and stay up for a long ass time.

[Reflecto]

It's a Christmas gift for all the fans in the UK and Ireland!

And a Christmas gift for this board as well, since all those UK and Ireland fans would much rather their family give them a box filled with scorpions instead!

[lizzurd]

Much like Aron Rex the TNA Network will prove to be too entertaining to be successful.

[Push R Truth]

98% of all TNA Network downloads will be from people thinking it's another porno app

[Gerard Gerard]

Does this mean the Asylum stuff and the premium purchases are gonna get taken off Youtube?

[Zone Was Wrong]

They would be better just doing it like £40 for a year.

No, probably blocked in the UK and Ireland.

But TNA had a premium YouTube channel they never advertised.

and an online streaming service where you could buy and watch any of their payperviews they rarely talked about.
