I haven't followed wrestling in like 2 years. Is TNA still relevant ?
Very little relevance. You can watch them on Twitch since they've been bumped down to a hunting channel (Pursuit) that few get. Their stories and in ring have improved the last few years but the brand is too damaged.
Talk is Jericho dropped this morning where he talks about the move to AEW.
Jesus ! That's bad ! What the hell happened ? I hope this time around it works AEW. But even Ted Turner could not do it.
For All In, they got Dillon Spears to do a cover of Joey Janela's theme song (ProtoVision by Kavinsky). I wonder if Dillon is up for doing original theme songs, as he may be a potential sneaky hire for AEW in order to create theme songs.

The new Talk is Jericho where he outlines everything that's happened to bring him to AEW is super interesting...there's a great summary of it in the WrassleERA thread...def. worth a listen if you have the time.
In addition, for those who aren't aware or knowledgable about him, Shane Strickland also has an A+ entrance theme song (0:18):

WrestlingInc said:In numbers available on SullyGnome (a Twitch statistics and analysis website) for the 7 day period of January 8th-14th, IMPACT Wrestling peaked at 10,422 viewers (at some point on Friday night). The channel is programmed nearly 24/7 and over 155 hours in the last week averaged 318 viewers for a total watch time of 51,662 hours. IMPACT gained 4,816 followers for the week (and now has 67,320 followers on the platform).
IMPACT was the most watched program in the Wrestling category. In comparison, AAA was ranked second. The AAA promotion had no specific destination programming this week but did stream 144 hours of content. It peaked at 194 viewers and averaged 60 viewers with a total watch time of 8,731 hours.
Over the last 365 days, the most watched 5 promotions were the following:
1. IMPACT
2. AAA
3. Rocky Mountain Pro
4. House of Hardcore
5. Capitol Wrestling
I hope they're not giving them a last ditch "look? See? We do value you!" push in an attempt to get them to stay because I highly doubt they're going to go for it.
Not surprised in the slightest. They aren't the most charismatic guys but they proved in NXT that they can become the pillars for rejuvenating the tag team division on the main roster and WWE fucked up in that. You know AEW will come out them with some money and the promise of being one of the cornerstones in their promotion.
I like the Revival and their Greenpoint hipster ass take on the Four Horsemen as much as the next guy, I think they'd be fun in AEW, but seriously, why would WWE fear losing the Revival? The only fear there would be "well, that's one, do others follow".
It's good. It's all in-ring though, and DIY carries them. It was quite good. I should go back to when they were busting their asses and try to give them a more fair evaluation.The 2/3 falls match with DIY is one of the best tag matches i've seen in the past decade. 5 stars everywhere.

I think it'd be foolish to spend real money on the Revival. They're injury-prone and aren't very charismatic. They let the ring work speak for themselves which isn't a good mix for injury-prone teams. That, and you don't have anyone who would be a good "fit" to fill in if one of them gets hurt again.

They should. The Revival can be money if paired with Jim Cornette.
I could listen to Jim Cornette talk forever. He's fucking nuts.
Get him on commentary or something.
One of the Bucks tweeted just the word "Bar" so it seems like they might be doing a surprise appearance for Bar Wrestling, which makes sense as it's Joey Ryan's promotion and they're good friends with him.

They might have deleted the tweets then because they didn't want to get people's hopes up that it was AEW related.One of the Bucks tweeted just the word "Bar" so it seems like they might be doing a surprise appearance for Bar Wrestling, which makes sense as it's Joey Ryan's promotion and they're good friends with him.
