TNA Wrestling is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, drawing 4,000 fans to its Genesis pay-per-view event on Sunday. This marked the company’s largest attendance in years and one of its most successful gates ever, according to reports from WrestleTix and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The company is carrying this momentum into Impact on AXS TV. Here’s what’s announced for the January 30th episode:
