Impact Wrestling Launches New AXS TV Show to Tell History of TNA

If you're a pro wrestling fan who still has an hour left in the week that isn't already devoted to watching wrestling, I've got good news for you. Impact Wrestling has announced a new television show, Impact in 60, to air on AXS TV on Tuesdays following each episode of Impact Wrestling. Called Impact in 60, the show will be a documentary exploring the history of Impact from back in the TNA days to the present. Each episode of the show will feature a collection of matches themed after a wrestler, championship, faction, or match type.

IMPACT in 60 kicks off Tuesday, June 2 with the "Best of the Asylum Years," highlighting rarely seen footage from the infancy of TNA with matches featuring former NWA Heavyweight Champions A.J. Styles and Raven, among others.

From the thousands of hours of thrilling action in our library, we created IMPACT in 60 to celebrate the legacy of the incredible performers who have competed for us and provide a fun trip down memory lane for the TNA faithful."
