Which bits may I ask did you enjoy?
It is a shame that the deal with Challenge is over, as it was nice to have it on the TV, at a decent time, and I doubt that we will see such a partnership once more over here like that. Very unconvincing.

I enjoyed pretty much all of it for what it was apart from the Spud/Maxel "fight" which I thought was not very well done at all, with shots of the kid edited in that were obviously shot in isolation, and some were very obviously "tweaked" to speed them up!
Very unconvincing. ![]() What was the point in the Rock and Roll Express being there, as they could not do anything?! If you enjoyed it, fair enough, but it was just one long ego trip for Matt Hardy in my mind. |

Perhaps Morton and Gibson live just down the road from the Hardys or something!
![]() I would be interested to know just how much of this angle was personally down to Matt Hardy, who has obviously been made the figurehead for it, and how much was just down to the work of the TNA scriptwriters and bookers.

Why so?
What is wrong with having issues with how it was put together? The show was bad though, you gotta have pride in yourself, jobbing to a kid is just embarrassing. |

FMKK hates criticism. He thinks everythings perfect in wrestling.

The app development is good, low enough price I would have thought for a fair few of the Challenge viewers to switch over, even if just for a look at how it is.
Final Deletion, not seen much praise for it (a lot of people I've seen saying they liked the original compound segment but not FD) and it's not my thing personally from what I've seen of it. Fair play for trying something different to try and hook some of the departed viewers. They've announced a new live PPV for the January tapings, still under the One Night Only name. I'd prefer the live PPV to have different branding so people can differentiate between live and those filmed 6-7 months ago. Shame they are sticking to the Impact Zone but i suppose it must work financially for them (how I don't know but it must be), just a shame that's at the expense of a decent crowd. All in all, they are trying fresh stuff so good luck |

Well he could have and should have said no.
How do you know what he can say yes or no too? |

Just looking back on some of my old recodings of impact, and the one major difference I see between now and then, is the lighting, before it was really bright, and you could see the audience, now it is dark and you can hardly see any of the audience, now possibly this could be to do with low attendances, and not wanting to shine a spotlight on that, but I must say, I did prefer it, when the lighting was brighter than what it is currently.

One thing not mentioned, Grado is not doing the next tapings, apparently because the panto at The Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow is paying him more than TNA are.

So the price of the app is actually £4.99 a month:

The lighting was super light in the old ones.

I don't see anything wrong with it to be honest. Most wrestling companies have some sort of on demand library so this happening isn't that much of a shock. I do think if it wasn't for not being able to get a th deal it probably wouldn't have happened just yet. If the likes of what culture who have been doing wrestling shows for only a couple of months can do an on demand library subscription I can't see why tna cant especially when tna is 15 years old in june
Also how will TNA hope to advertise this app is available, and the only way (that they want you to know about anyway) that people in the UK and Ireland can view the latest impacts? At least with WWE network they consistently mention it during their shoes, and get the word out via other mediums, I don't really see how TNA will hope to get the word out other than via their official channels (Facebook/Twitter etc), you need different ways to get hold of as many possible customers as possible. |

The reaction from what I have seen, has not exactly been the best towards this app, so let's see where we are in a few months time.

Its not going to be a easy sell at all. The pricing is about right but it just depends on how good the app is and if it has any issues |

The big prob is people's mentally to a big extent will be paying for something they have previously got for free.

Yeah, I did wonder what the streaming quality will be like. Cue Dixie sitting in Nashville saying "oh **** it just send them a link to xwt" if it's pish.
![]() I hope it works for them |

Are they doing any advertising away from official channels for this app, as I haven't seen anything.
