For the first time since 2012, Impact Wrestling, formerly TNA Wrestling, is heading to Albany, and for a pay-per-view, to boot.
On Thursday's episode of Impact, it was announced that the annual Bound For Glory event will take place in Albany on Friday, October 7, which will be a true test of a wrestling fan's loyalty. The event will take place opposite Smackdown, which, depending on Fox's baseball playoff schedule, will air on either Fox or FS1 (Spectrum channel 400), that night.
Anthem, the Canadian based parent of both Impact and the AXS network, a premium channel on Spectrum, is looking to put a dent in WWE's ratings, blunting the older company's recent momentum surge.
What isn't clear is where the show will take place in the capital city. If it's MVP Arena, it'll be their 3rd live wrestling event in as many months, joining AEW's Dynamite (September 14) and Monday Night Raw (November 21). Otherwise, WTEN is speculating it could be the ancient, acoustically challenged Washington Avenue Armory, with its rich wrestling history.
But, that ain't all, folks.
Women of Wrestling, or, WOW, is going into national syndication next month after getting booted off AXS. Former WWE women's champion AJ Lee (April Mendez-Brooks) is on board as a commentator, according to early reports. WCWN, which lost Ring of Honor after 10 years in April, will pick up Women of Wrestling, which debuts September 17 at 10 pm, in back of the CW's Saturday lineup.
