So they're gonna go on WOW from talking about her every other second, to talking about her every millisecond. Let me know when she gets access to a time machine And apparently AXS has shut down the Dallas Office and the VP is exiting the company.
Not really shocked. Cutting redundancy is usually one of the first it’s of any acquisition.

Now, I’m not 100%, but I believe that’s just in reference to the US shows that air live? Because I’m positive NJPW decides the announcers for the tape delay show now. EDIT: Not that I expect Impact to mess with who NJPW wants doing commentary on the live shows. I expect them to let New Japan call what ever shots they want

The English commentators like Kevin Kelly work for NJPW outright, not AXS. Though I think Don Callis still calls shows for them every so often, so even if Anthem and Impact had any say in who commentates for the show, I don't think Callis would fire himself lol.
I guess the narrator recapping match results and angles on the AXS TV Show works for the network.

Also a new feature of NJPW is Steve Harvey reaction shots. I expect Hiroshi Tanahashi is going to be getting a lot more randy in his promos.

If they have Callis and Kelly do the commentary is fine because they are buddies. Doubt Matthews will be involved because he is already overworking, wouldnt be surprised if they hire Matt Striker.

Don't be surprised if eventually New Japan leaves AXS and tries their luck on another station. If there's one thing Impact has never done, is do well by other promotions.

I didn't realize the deal with AXS only goes through the end of the year.
Wouldn't be surprised if they go elsewhere now.

Possibility of TNA leverage or not, there's something to be said for possibly branching out to seek a better deal in this situation, New Japan has grown a lot and if AEW does well and other networks start to see a possibility of riding any potential boom, there's a chance to try their hand at a stronger deal on something more accessible.

It should really be mentioned again how dogshit Anthem’s logo is. Like you just spent all this money buying a TV network and you can’t be bothered to make your logo not look like an owl that skipped leg day?

RVD on the Behind the Lights Twitch show they do, jokingly suggested New Japan get a spot on Pursuit.
I really dont think Impact care anymore if they work with NJPW or not.

so is Impact slowly becoming relevant again? or at least a credible 3rd option for those who can't go to WWE or AEW?
