ANX reunion in ROH?

One Road. Two Friends. One Ass.
So I haven't actually ever watched tna/impact but I like Trinity and don't have time for more than one show a week. It's cheap and easy to stream at least but is it worth going back a few months to watch anything or can I just dive in with the most recent episodes?

If you like Trinity and want to jump into the weekly show, you can do so - she's on the next two full taping (which means it probably won't air tomorrow). HOWEVER, these upcoming shows have uncharacteristic production values that don't give a good impression of how they have looked visually (they're being helped by sister promotions as they upgrade their central command).

lol the look of relief on cm punk's face during his return to wwe is he could have been returning at the impact zone instead

impact has felt more like a vague idea of a promotion than an actual company for years now

It doesn't on its own, but since they're owned by the media company that owns the channel they're broadcast on, all they need is to make enough money in ad revenue to offset the small expenses that the show has to produce (and cost less to make than other shows would to put on 52 weeks a year).

Let me tell you: the quality of advertising during Impact on AXS TV is MILES better than what was on their Pop days. MILES.

this vague idea of a promotion is putting out consistently entertaining product, idk maybe that has something to do with it

they better stay away from Riddle tho, that's my main source of concern right now

PWInsider posted:

The fate of Will Ospreay could have been quite different, PWInsider.com has learned.

While Ospreay signed a multi-year deal with AEW, Impact Wrestling was very much in the running to land Ospreay and made what sources close to the situation have described as a "fantastic, massive offer" to the British star.

One Impact source conceded it was likely the largest offer to a single star since Anthem took over ownership of the company, admitting it was a "seven figure level offer." The same source noted that when Ospreay worked the recent Chicago weekend events, he seemed to be having such a great time, several talents assumed he was coming in full-time next year, especially when he cut a promo about wanting to compete in a TNA ring.

As it turned out, in the end, Ospreay opted to sign with AEW.

As PWInsider.com previously reported, Impact also made a hard run at CM Punk before WWE came into the picture and signed him.

She's considering all options. She enjoyed her time in AAA, she liked STARDOM, she didn't hate the coffee break in ROH/AEW, she hated her time in NXT but isn't against going back anymore, and this weekend Fightful said the door's open on both sides if she wants to stay here. She loves it and they love her, but she wants to explore. The scene's changed a lot, in terms of money, opportunities available, and demand, since the last time she was really a free agent (pre-COVID)
