Impact now has a Twitch Channel

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Oh and POP TV will not allow Impact to show the Barb Wire Massacre 3 Match with OVE and LAX so we have to watch it on Twitch afterwards.

Already covered, but in fairness, the title of the original is a bit vague.

Isnt that a streaming channel? Then what was the point of the global network??

Guess it's about being able to choose what you want to watch for the price you pay (and the chance to have your credit card info stolen and/or sold by Anthem) vs just watching what they throw onto the Twitch channel. It also probably will be a more lucrative venue for them if they start selling subscriptions to the marks. It's definitely going to get more casual eyes on it through Twitch than they would with the GWN, especially if they advertise it right.

{Spoiler}AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Aw man, I almost made it. Goddamnit, okay, I tried.

So how long before Twitch sours on wrestling thanks to these morons pulling their usual crap?

Three months of TNA on their platform and the twitch people will ban wrestling from their website forever, because they'll somehow pull them into business, twitch will dip like one single toe in the water and say "Nope f*** this you're gone, all of you are gone, f***ing wrestling".

I can only imagine TNA having a live stream of Grand Theft Alberto: Perro City in the near future.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

I am laughing at the bit about house shows

I mean, it was a choice between going unambiguous or having a laugh at TNA. I'm only human.

[Alice Syndrome]

They're streaming Xplosion right now, not sure when that actually airs though.

[Final Countdown Jones]

I can't even imagine what a chat of people watching 24/7 Impact reruns must be like but it's going to take every ounce of willpower I possess to not go in there and create magic.

It's fairly calm, there seems to be averaging 600-800 viewers, and they're switching between recent episodes and classic matches (right now is the Sabin vs Shelley X Division title match) so it's a fairly relaxed audience appreciating the olden days mostly

So TNA doesn't even have diehard marks anymore. Incredible.

[Chainsaw]

If they really wanted to make money off of this, they'd show nothing but the Eye Spy/Papparazzi Production stuff chronologically on a constant loop.

[finallydeleted]

No diehard fans means no diehard anti-fans as well. Trolling TNA Marks has become a lot less fun because of the demise of certain fan sites. I can't even bring myself to hunt them down anymore. It's like trying to poach rhinos at this point.

[Deleted]

It makes sense, because thinking about TNA makes me twitch.

Bound for glory 2017 on right now.

Is it gonna be the live version, or the Uk version where they cut out the bit where Alberto El Cabrón cuts a coke promo claiming he didn't beat the shit out of Paige.

Edit: GUESS WHAT

Haha yeah. I was just coming to post about how crazy this deal rio promo is.

I've watched more TNA/Impact wrestling in the last 24 hours than I think I have in the last 10 years (non-Broken Universe or 10-second clips nonwithstanding). Damn is it good to see the Fox Sports Era matches again, reminds you of the huge potential the show used to have.

Hell, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt...should they lambaste and lose all of their television network presence, a move like this will ensure a worldwide presence for the time being. Once they've been able to establish some footing and garner Partnership status, they could also start raking in monthly subscribers that way to support their present-day business operations. For once, this was a smart move.
