News On Direction and Morale In Impact Wrestling

Pwinsider reports there’s been a strong positive feeling among those in Impact Wrestling management of late. 

The reason for that is due to the ratings that their weekly television show has been doing on AXS TV. They feel they’re going in the right direction, and the ratings show that it’s a sign the creative and talents are clicking.  

The report added, “Obviously, the promotion is never going to hit WWE and AEW level numbers since they are on a smaller platform, but the feeling has been that business is heading in the right direction, slowly and surely.  We are told that the Impact replay numbers on AXS have also shown some growth”
