You might have heard (and seen) this one before. “Impact Wrestling” is in an interesting place at the moment as they have new owners who are trying to build the promotion back up. One of their primary ways of doing this has been restoring its international presence, which includes a new TV deal on SpikeTV UK. However, things aren’t quite going according to plan.
We apologise for any disappointment this will have caused Impact fans. 2/2

Opinion: The first thing that came to my head was “Of course they did.” I know this isn’t likely Impact Wrestling’s fault but it’s the kind of thing that always seems to be happening to them. Between this and the episode last year with the two hours of commercials, this seems to happen too often for the company. I don’t know what they can do about it, but they seem to have some kind of issue far too often, which isn’t going to help their reputation.
What do you think of “Impact Wrestling’s” new direction? Are issues like this one hurting them? Let us know in the comments below.
