TNA new look impact zone

coming soon to uk screens

So are they dropping the whole TNA thing, and rebranding? I do like how they're pushing the 'Wrestling Matters' tag, as Vince has decreed 'wrestling' a dirty word in WWE.

I believe Impact wrestling just applies to the show kinda like Raw & Smackdown, The company will still continue to go under the name TNA.

the show is called impact wrestling but the company is tna.

loved the 25 man brawl/battle royale, there should be of these same with royal rumbles/running the grunlets. less bullshit talk inbetween fights and more fights.

What happen to the Matt Morgan vs. Scott Steiner match it had the match on the freeview EPG but there did not show it

steiner no showed the ppv

TNA Wrestling on Challenge

The UK TV Ratings are in for the week ending 8th May 2011 and hot off the heels of last weeks record breaking viewership numbers and the announcement of another TNA UK fan party, you’d be forgiven for thinking this week couldn’t possibly bring any more good news…but it does!

According to the Broadcasters Audience Research Board – TNA iMPACT! scored a superb 244,000 viewers, for the Tuesday 3rd May “Queen Closeau” episode headlined by a Sting vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Bully Ray World Title Match Main Event.


The search for Kurt Angle's "Mistress": Intrigued even the casual viewers!

This ensures that TNA Wrestling on Challenge continues to be the top rated wrestling programming on UK television for the fifth consecutive week, 9th time overall this year and is once again a new all time record high in viewership outdrawing both WWE RAW and Smackdown COMBINED!

The show once again ranked 1st overall amongst all programming on Challenge for the week and was up a whopping 44,000 viewers from last week’s record breaking episode.

TNA Xplosion, featuring a British Invasion, Murphy & Gunner vs. Orlando Jordan, Eric Young, Devon and Tommy Dreamer 8-Man Tag Bout, ranked outside the top 10 highest rated programs on Challenge TV and thus i’m unable to confirm the exact viewing figures for the episode. However the lowest ranked of the top 10, Eggheads, drew 123,000 viewers and thus Xplosion falls somewhere below that figure.

Here is the Top 10 ranked programs on Challenge for the week:

Nice stats, Mr Anderson. I think I'm right in saying that even when WCW were winning the ratings war across the pond not once did they beat WWE in the UK viewing figures. Great news for TNA.

Also, according to the latest Impact spoilers we'll be seeing another Knockout returning to the company.

how good was it to see Chris Harris back in TNA at last, AMW was on of the best tag teams i have ever seen, i am glad we are going to see the fued with James Storm at last must be 4 years in the making

Agree great news that tna is beating wwe in the ratings especially with wwe on sky sports and tna on challenge. Think tna now to capitalise on this should do what was do and film episodes of impact in the uk

Enjoyed sacrifice last night. Thought chyna did well on her in ring return and chuckled when chyna did the pedigree on karen jarrett that the commentators called it a "DDT style move" lol and liked the stereo angle locks too.

Yep know who this returning knockout is and great to see her
