The live three-hour TNA iMPACT! on January 4th featuring the official TNA debut of Hulk Hogan will also be replayed that same week on Thursday from 8:00-11:00 p.m. ET on SpikeTV. That obviously means there will be no new episode of iMPACT! that week.
The original idea was for TNA to run a live two-hour show from 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET to get the one hour advantage over RAW, but they figured WWE would counter by going to USA and asking for a third hour so they went ahead with a three-hour show instead.
WWE has yet to announce a response but there is talk of them doing a 3-hour special as well.
The live iMPACT! on January 4th is a one time experiment, but if ratings do well or are significantly higher than what they are doing on Thursday nights then it would likely lead to moving to a live Monday show every week.
Even if you’re not a fan TNA, you should really hope that their special does a good rating as competition is good.
SITE NOTE: It’s been real busy around here lately with the sad and untimely passing of Eddie ‘Umaga’ Fatu as well as the news on Saturday night of a three-hour TNA iMPACT! special on January 4th going head-to-head with RAW. I expect this coming week to be a big one as well before we calm things down for Christmas. As always, we want to thank you for your support of the website. Traffic has been extremely high in recent days and we want to thank you all for that. There would be no us without you! THANK YOU!!
