10 Things GFW Can Do To Make An Impact On Wrestling

10. A Steady Home

Since TNA was dropped by Spike in 2014, viewing figures have fallen to some of the lowest since the show began - a far cry from the highs of three million viewers at their peak.

While the product itself has admittedly been hit and miss, the channel hopping has done the show no favours. Impact has gone from Destination America to Pop, neither of which have the national coverage of Spike in the US, meaning less availability and fewer eyeballs on the product.

TNA has also suffered recurring schedule changes, frequently switching their weekly night over the last decade. The show has incredibly moved to each weeknight individually, leaving casual fans unsure of the definitive night the programme actually airs.

Meanwhile, Impact was dealt a huge blow in the UK when it was left without a channel altogether in December 2016, when TNA lost their deal with Challenge. Ironically enough, they would find a new home on the UK's Spike four months later.

With the current TV deal on Pop expiring in late 2017, a return to Spike in the US would be a huge move and put GFW firmly back on the radar. The UK Spike deal is a good sign. However, ratings will need to continue to improve Stateside if they hope to truly court their US counterparts.
