Destination America Pleased With "Impact Wrestling"

Last week, Wrestling Rumors noted Destination America was said to be unhappy with the prospect of TNA utilizing England for taping “Impact Wrestling” going forward. This was said to be a reason for a lack of announcement regarding any tapings later this year, and it is likely the company will stay domestic for the foreseeable future.

However, in a press release sent to PWInsider, Destination America touted the program’s success thus far. It can be found below:
