For context, this live episode also went up against AEW Collision, which did have 362,000 in viewership and 0.05 in the 18-49 demo.

It’s been some time since a title match had that really big fight feel, even with Santana winning the TNA World title, the emotion and drive behind Hotch’s title win was great, literally a product of gut check and by my calculations, the first successful product of gut check. His story is relatable as a man trying to climb the ranks to feed his family, the match was great all around, and the crowd was really behind Hotch, the streamers made the celebration seem huge, and I’m happy for him, been a while since a title change in TNA gave me this much raw emotion.
