Ed Nordholm Address The Future Of Impact Wrestling To The Locker Room

To say that Impact Wrestling has had its ups and downs over the past few years would be the biggest understatement of the year so far. With the company moving TV Networks again, as well as beginning to simulcast on Twitch, it would seem that the company continues to decline.

However, the boss doesn’t seem to think that is the case.

According to a report from PWInsider, Ed Nordholm, the President of Impact Wrestling’s parent company “Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions,” gave a speech to the  roster backstage before last night’s taping in Nashville.

A few excerpts from the report:

According to several sources we spoke to, it was very much a positive speech with Nordholm noting the company accomplished what they wanted to set out to do in 2018.   Nordholm told the roster 2017 was a “learning year” after Anthem took over the company and that 2018 was about getting them in position for the future.  He said that everyone is optimistic and enthusiastic for what is to come in 2019. 

Nordholm also addressed the company’s move to The Pursuit Channel, noting that one of the reasons Anthem took over the company was so that they could have it for their own assets and Pursuit is one of those assets.  With the deal at Pop ending, Impact now has the digital rights to the Impact Wrestling series again, which is why they can also simulcast it on Twitch on Fridays.

During the meeting, Nordholm took questions from the roster and specifically addressed that there were some rumblings last year that Anthem was looking to sell the company, assuring everyone that is not the case and that they shouldn’t be worried about anything along those lines.

The company’s recent pay-per-view event, Homecoming, featured the return of Rosemary, which you can see below:

Editor’s Opinion:

Heading into 2019, this was probably a good move by the boss. Impact seems to be the company that never goes away, despite its many issues, and if they can stabilize the leadership at the top of the company, they have the potential to have a great 2019.
