I will say TNA has been really quite solid throughout of all of January...so those episodes are worth watching.
TNA Wrestling on Challenge TV

Challenge will broadcast catch-up episodes of iMPACT! every day from midnight until new episodes are then broadcast weekly from Feb 8 at 10pm.
So basically we need to watch every night until the 8th then they are new.

Huge 3 weeks of TNA television for us from 3rd Feb then
I might start watching TNA properly again once it's re-established on Challenge. I do tend to think i've drifted away from wrestling - i'm loathe to say 'grown out of' - but I still keep up with all the news and happenings, so i certainly think i'll try again and see how i go.

It's probably safer on the basis it's the daughters toy.
Still, with Bischoff, Hogan and Flair all taking pay cuts you have to question the logic of bringing back more 'veteran names' on big pay days. That's one of the many mistakes WCW made

Nooooo.. I was looking forward to finally being able to watch some wrestling.
I was already annoyed at the lack of Channel 4 HD, due to Clirlun being there instead.

yep i wonder how much "fat" hardy is on?????
TNA needs major investment like you said so many people with big pay checks that dont even wrestle that often.
TNA is doing the same ratings they were doing 18 months ago, and worse house show business than they were doing 18 months ago, back when they weren't paying out money for Hogan, Bischoff, both Hardys, RVD, and Mr Anderson.
That's 6 guys, all on at the very least $250k a year, so that's an added expense of at least $1.5million, for no extra benefit and at a time when revenue has dropped.
That's bad business in absolutely anyone's book.

Exactly. Spike TV are paying some of the bigger name talent and are putting some money towards the road Impacts, but no idea how much.

They gambled on them bringing in higher ratings but they didnt. Just a business risk that didnt pay off, simple as that.

That was more fool them than anything else. TNA's main problem over the last number of years has been inconsistent booking by Russo and co. TNA has tried multiple gimmicks in order to boost ratings, rather than dealing with the biggest issue.
At this stage, the only way Hulk Hogan is worth anything to TNA is if the merchandise is selling by the truck load or is his name is attracting sponsors and increased as sales. The same can be said for all the big names they signed. The hope was that association with Hogan and Bischoff would increase awareness of TNA and lead to making contacts in the television business. Obviously they believed ratings and buyrates would rise too.
God only knows why they signed Tazz as announcer when they had the much more famous Mick Foley signed to another big money contract.
Hardy, RVD and Anderson do work live events... and Anderson has untapped potential due to his promo skills. All 3 have become TNA's biggest merchandise movers.

Please can someone remind me what happened on the last edition of TNA on Bravo as I have forgot. My brain troubles me
Then I can check it with any of the catch up episodes that air on Challenge TV.

Sorry if this can't be done, but what about using TVCatchup which shows all the freeview from a London base (Meaning Challenge will be there soon). Pretty sure IP addresses in Wales aren't blocked from the service. Worth checking out.

Thanks for this. I will look into it.

It gradually got better after the 2nd 'Monday Night Wars', but man was that a bad period for TNA. Nothing could go right. But they caused so much self harm by booking nonsesense like Hogan's HoF ring give Abyss power, and having Hogan and Flair wrestle each other in slow motion on the first show. Could have made money too by booking their return to the ring on PPV, in intelligently booked matches. Not hyping the debuts of Hardy and RVD was another wasted opportunity.
