Between Impact, the Impact replay, Unlocked and now this there's going to be at least 7 hours of TNA every week on the new channel. That's a whole lot of TNA...

Normally saying there's too much TNA isn't a bad thing.  But this one is.  It's not a bad idea doing best of shows to show non-fans what they're about.  But there's a crap ton of wrestling on TV, and also the WWE and NJPW networks.  I can't imagine the Unlocked show doing much in the ratings.

5 hours.

 

Impact Wrestling: Unlocked is the replay of the previous night's Impact with some new Tenay content added.

He's been gone for 4 months, move on.

That's about how long it's been since TNA has ran a show and we haven't moved on from that...

And Fat Spanish Whatever still gets mentioned to *this very day* ... it's fun to pick and choose!

Saturdays were awesome for rasslin' back when I was a yute.  Starting at 9 am, I got Pro Wrestling This Week followed by the UWF, then WWF Superstars at noon, the Muthaship at 3:05 (on the Left Coast), World Class at 5 on Prime Ticket, and finally the AWA on ESPN.

Sounds like how it was for me in 86. With just a rooftop and rabbit ears I could watch the following on Saturdays.

 

WWF Superstars,Wrestling Spotlight and Wrestling Challenge

UWF/Mid South

Memphis

WCCW

Florida

GLOW

Continental

And some JCP syndicated show

Yeah I had loaded Saturdays as well,AWA at 10AM on the local station, WWF Superstars at 11am, Wrestling Challenge at noon, WCW Muthaship at 6:05, and SNW (Saturday Night Wrestling) with Mick Karch, which was syndicated WCW for an hour followed by an hour of WCCW and later USWA, at 9PM. The joys of youth.
