It's probably marginally better than dodging WWE and UFC on Saturdays and AEW on Sundays. At this point anyone who is inclined to watch an Impact PPV is already prepared to skip something else to do it.
It does kind of make sense if they're piggybacking on Fridays being a big wrestling night. I'd say it's not a good idea to try to go head-to-head, but Anthem seems content just retaining the viewers they already have, rather than growing. Catering to your die-hards in a holding pattern isn't the worst thing for an indie.

AEW runs 3-4 Sundays per year and on fairly predictable dates. Friday is an awful night for PPVs and relying on people to watch them on DVR is just a bad idea.

TNA never stops being TNA

It sounds like it was a pretty good show otherwise but good lord

Also Raven's HOF speech ended with him hugging Dreamer, saying their feud was over... then immediately hitting him with the DDT

I do not care about Bully Ray in 2022, if this ends with anything else than Josh Alexander putting him away I'm loving out.

Still, an extremely fun show top to bottom with the Jordynne / Masha and Josh / Eddie matches both being outstanding.

Gosh, I have to imagine they're not going to strap up Bully in 2022. It's a former champion and "legend" who can put Alexander over. Then again, loltna, so who knows.

I have to think Anthem is smarter and better at this than Dixie or Russo, but they did have Dixie show up at Slammiversary so... :shrug:
