You'd think with a year of everyone being home they'd go all out on their Impact Plus service, but there are still lots of events missing, mainly Impact episodes from 2008 to 2015.
Why are they so lame?
I want to subscribe, but only once they've put the effort in.

That’s really strange if that’s true, because Spike TV were with them from 2005 onwards, and they have all those episodes on there. You’d think Anthem would be buying the rights to those episodes. I doubt Spike can do anything with them anyway without Anthem’s blessing since they own the TNA trademarks. |

No clue if its true but it kinda makes sense |

Someone one twitter was complaining about the same thing and someone mentioned it. No clue if its true but it kinda makes sense Yeah, it's believed that Spike owns the rights to the tape library during that period, which probably would have been negotiated in their contract. Spike probably saw value in the tape library as streaming and over the top services started to gain steam, and TNA wouldn't have much leverage in negotiations. It seemed like Spike was always the one and only major network interested in them. But I don't think anybody knows if it's permanent control, if if it's something where the rights revert back to Impact after X years. There's probably not much incentive for either side to change the situation. It's not going to be worth the pricetag for Anthem compared to the handful of new subscribers it might bring in. But aside from the missing Impact years, they've really done a pretty excellent job of adding some unique content - vintage wrestling, some Canadian indies, etc. It's a really good service, and I find myself watching content there more often than the WWE Network these days. |

I really want to see all the old Xplosion episodes, they must still have them |

Are the newest eps of the weekly show put up for free on Impact Plus?
I was looking into the free version of the app.
I downloaded it to my Roku and tried watching, but it was making me sign up/log in.

Anyone subscribing to this? I'm very interested, any info would be great. I know basically nothing past this thread, as far as what's included.
Also, I don't have AXS-am I able to watch the product's current weekly shows?

You just need to keep clicking "not now", "later", etc, getting past all of the sign up/in screens. |

So is the Rampage that probably sees Punk return going to go up against Emergence (on Impact Plus, featuring Myers/Cage for the Impact Title)? I noticed both are on August 20.

IMPACT Plus is enjoyable.
It has all the old weekly PPV shows on there, the monthly ones, the special ones they did, the IMPACT shows past SPIKE TV era, plus Canadian Indy wrestling, various other indy volumes, with matches such as Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Balls Mahoney from New York, as well as St. Louis Wrestling I believe is the classic stuff on there.
For the price it is, it's worth it. Plus the special IMPACT Plus shows they do each month on there one Saturday of the month. It's not bad. I am glad I have it.

So do they have the PPV's past 2013? And if so, are the "ONO" aka "One Night Only" PPVs available on Impact+? Any help's appreciated.

Yes, all that stuff you just asked about is on IMPACT Plus to view.

I have subbed so that I can watch from the beginning. Hopefully by the time I get that deep into it they will have more of their library up.
What's really upsetting is how many years of Xplosion they're missing and that content is not available anywhere.
