[CWFAN]

On tonights ppv it is expected that the new tv deal with FOX sports will be announced the new show will be called Impact and will premeire on June 4 at 3pm

[Kenneth Coker]

This is a big piece of news if true. We're supposed to get TNA on our Charter Cable Sports network on Monday nights, but I forgot to check for it this past Monday.

I just found out about it last weekend, and I was pretty into Raw this week, so I didn't channel surf any.

Already we get NACW, USA Championship Wrestling, and Memphis Wrestling.

I'd love to see TNA as well. I just hope it's not a promo for their PPV. I'd like to see new matches on this show myself.

[CWFAN]

It's gonna be a fresh show and will be taped at Universal in Orlando.I assume Xplosion will continue as the review/preview show for the PPV.

[Kenneth Coker]

That rocks. I've been wanting to see NWA-TNA for quite some time. I'm really happy about this. Really happy. Now I'll get to see AMW.

I wish we had more wrestling around the louisville area.memphis wrestling was huge around here,years ago,an u could find 3-4 wrestling promotions on cable tv every week,now we get wwe,an ohio valley wrestling(danny davis promotion) which is barley watchable.i hope we get tna,i have fox sports,but i hope they play it on all fox sports channels.like to see another promotion on tv.wresting has gone downhill with the demise wcw.now wwe has no-one to try to steal ratings from.memphis style is old school,an like to always be able to sneak a peak at it.

cwildkats, you wouldn't happen to be a University of Kentucky fan would you? BTW I disagree with you about OVW, it is a fine wrestling program.

As far as TNA goes, I heard it was only going to be an informercial for their PPV's.

[Kenneth Coker]

Well, it is on right now. I'm watching it on Fox Sports South. It is not a informercial.

I know it's only the first show, but my opinion so far is very high on this. I'm impressed, I have (appearently) wrongly bashed TNA on the wrestling classics board.

[Kenneth Coker]

I think it was a pretty good debut show. Nothing groundbreaking, but nice nonetheless. I thought the 6-sided ring thing was gonna be horrible, but it looks like the guys adapted to the ring well. I hope they still do a traditional ring on their PPV's, but I'm cool with the new ring too.

TNA in a 6-sided ring is better than TNA in no ring at all.

It being a new show and all, I don't think they have room to be "groundbreaking". I really didn't see much to nitpick about. Id be interested to see the ratings that they get, because I wonder if they get decent numbers if they'll get a better time slot.
