Now PWTorch and Spreaker bring you the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling podcast. It's time for the weekly flagship talking current events in pro wrestling.

Hi, Jason. It's rare. Usually it's like if we have time at the end, we talk a little TNA

Impact. But let's start with T&A Impact, their premiere episode on AMC last Thursday, which I thought was an uneven mess aiming for the wrong things.

And I've talked and written about that.

One thing that, and I want to talk to you about that, but I also was curious what kind of viewership they would draw on a new

network with roughly double the potential viewership, roughly double the homes and numbers in.

And they did 173,000 viewers with a key demo rating of 0.04. That's, I'm not sure how to, I mean,

I don't know that anyone had any idea what the expectation should be. So I don't think we can say it's... I don't think it's a clear disappointment or a clear success story. What's your read on that? Considering what, they were doing like 80,000, give or take over the last years on Access? Yeah, occasionally they would get north of 100. I know they did win, like, Kenny Omega was there. And I think there were other times too. But I, well, I didn't put a lot of thought into it. I just kind of threw out like, well, if they top 200,000, the company should be really happy. And so getting that close to it, I think is fine. It's just, okay, Is it, they just need to get the word out and more people will follow?

Or is this going to kind of be the peak?

Like it was for raw Netflix and trickle downward.

I guess the only time will tell.

Yeah.
