IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2019-01-15 08:50:00

For those who have asked, there has been zero confirmation on an overnight audience for the 1/11 debut edition of Impact Wrestling on The Pursuit Channel.  That would mean not only was it not in the top 150 broadcasts that night but many of the outlets that cover such things in the entertainment world don't have access to those numbers.  Within the company, if they have the numbers, they were not being openly shared.  This may be the new reality going forward, that the number is so low that access to getting it may be extremely hard.

Melissa Santos will debut with the episodes that were taped in Mexico City.

There were raves for the work of El Hijo del Vikingo, who worked the Mexico tapings last weekend.

The LAX vs. Fenix & Pentagon Jr. bout that closed the second night of taping was said to have been one of the best Impact matches in some time.  Fans were throwing coins and money at the ring after, which in Mexico is the ultimate sign of respect from fans.

Impact’s next live Twitch special will be Friday 1/25 in Brooklyn, NY, themed as Impact Wrestling vs. WrestlePro in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn NY.  Scheduled to appear are KM, Homicide, Scarlett Bordeaux, Fallah Bahh, Rich Swann, Moose, Kongo Kong and more.  For more, visit www.WrestleProOnline.com.

Impact will tape a new One Night Only PPV on Saturday 1/26 in Hazleton, PA.

The company will next tape TV from 2/15-2/17 in Las Vegas.

Scheduled for this Friday's episode of Impact:

*Allie vs. Jordynne Grace.

*Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions LAX vs. OVE.

*Eddie Edwards vs. Ethan Page.

*Scarlett Bordeaux picks her talent search winner.
