Will Impact be in business this time next year?

this made me laugh

I think because they bought a whole network specifically to air Impact on, Impact will last longer than it probably should since that has been their problem (having a TV deal).

I'm still pissed Anthem or whoever it is that bought AXS didn't see the big picture in trying to cultivate more wrestling programs on AXS outside of NJPW (which ibget doesn't need AXS) They should have kept WOW and tried to give a deal to some other indie promotions. You still own the network, so even if the people tune in for the other promotions instead of impact, you're making money and fostering the wrestling business on a national level, which can only be good long term for wrestling, impact and your network.

Anthem running into serious money problems after buying AXS TV played a huge role in that happening.

Had they not gut AXS' MMA and wrestling divisions due to money reasons, NJPW and WOW probably would have stayed. Maybe less so with NJPW considering the lingering bad blood between them and Impact and Anthem also having one of Impact's head running AXS now.

WOW would have been a great pipeline of women talent for Impact had they managed to form a partnership.
