there were a bunch of elite 8 games yesterday, they announced the Thursday move and people may have hosed up on when it was happening, the weather's improving, it's TNA, hell there's probably at least a few reasons.

It's been written elsewhere that the number could be an error, and that's my gut feeling.

IMPACT WRESTLING AUDIENCE UPDATE - INITIAL AUDIENCE NUMBER WAS AN ERROR - Episode did 148K Viewers

Child Of The Revolution

Thursday's Impact averaged 168,000 viewers on AXS TV, up from the 149,000 viewers that the final Tuesday episode of the show averaged last week. This was Impact's best viewership number since February 23.

Thought they're going to get slaughtered by NXT and Bloodsport, but lmao can't kill the undead. The Bullet Club / Edwards, Mack & Swann main didn't hurt either.

Both voiced by Mauro. These are great.

It feels weird to type this but bringing Mauro on might actually be the thing that gets me to watch this PPV. I really liked him when I watched NXT and I miss the Mamma Mia :unsmith:

Kinda in the same boat. Swann can disappear forever for all I care, but I'm sure he and Kenny will have a good match and it'll be interesting to see the next chapter of Omega's run unfold. Mauro is the icing.

To be fair, reports said that Thea Trinidad had signed a short-term contract with an undisclosed promotion. She hasn’t show up anywhere else yet, so why not?

My guess is still that this contract Thea has signed is something to do with video games, not wrestling.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


So I can get Rebellion for $20 in the UK. I haven't watched an episode of Impact since December. Leaving the main event aside, would I be sports-entertained to the tune of $20 by this show?

The card looks decent but I think it depends on how much you think you'll like Omega vs Swann

It helps when one of the company VPs is long time good friends with one of the top stars and biggest draws outside of WWE. Even if this is just Kenny doing him a favor.

I've seen some people complaining about AEW not promoting it which is fair but also I'm sure they're just fine with getting the $40 from schmucks like myself who wouldn't have bought the PPV otherwise.

TNT showed commercials for it during Dynamite. Not promoting it on the show itself makes plenty of sense within AEW context since it's considered a rogue move from Kenny.
