By Mike Johnson on 2008-01-15 14:04:56
The TNA Impact replay on Saturday scored a 0.6 rating

The final TNA live event during the New York loop should be announced anytime.

SpikeTV issued a following press release today regarding this week's TNA Global Impact special, which will follow Impact on Thursday.  I believe the Kurt Angle vs. Yuji Nagata bout will be the only complete match to air on the special.  The press release reads:

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Invades Japan for Groundbreaking 'Global Impact' Special on Spike TV

 
TNA Goes Worldwide as Part of a 3-Hour Event This Thursday, January 17 on Spike TV Starting at 9 PM ET/PT

NEW YORK, Jan. 15  -- Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling will defend its reputation as the best pro-wrestling action in the world when it travels halfway around the globe to invade the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan as TNA presents "Global iMPACT!," a one-hour television event this Thursday, January 17 at 11:00 PM, ET/PT, following "TNA iMPACT!" (9:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT) only on Spike TV.

"Global iMPACT!" promises professional wrestling fans unprecedented access to the in-ring action from Japan as well as a backstage pass to all the behind-the-scenes events as two distinct cultures collide in a one hour television event unlike any other in the history of professional wrestling. Fans will get a first-person perspective as cameras will follow the superstars of TNA before and after their matches, through press tours, airports and hotels and showcase life on the road.

"TNA is excited to bring our American audience a pro wrestling experience unlike anything previously seen on television," TNA President Dixie Carter said. 'Global iMPACT' is a chance for wrestling fans to witness the partnership between TNA and IWGP Japan and celebrate the best professional wrestling action in the entire world."

Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, the reigning TNA and IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, will defend his worldwide reputation as "the greatest athlete in pro wrestling" against challenger Yuji Nagata, who holds the third- longest world title reign in IWGP history. Nagata will attempt to once again become IWGP Champion in front of his home crowd in Tokyo.

Angle will be joined by TNA superstars "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage, "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles, Abyss, Team 3D, Tomko, Petey Williams and the Steiner Brothers, as they take on the best professional wrestlers Japan can offer.
