It should be noted that according to the taping schedule, this 3 hour show should be outside of the Impact Zone in Tennessee most likely.

The next week is also likely to be followed with a "Before The Glory" special on October 13th which might be a Live episode.

The last 3 hour Impact concluded with the main event of AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle which remains a huge classic.
 
This can be good. I am down to watch a 3 hour episode of IMPACT; hopefully it has a fair amount of wrestling on the show. So let’s see how this goes as TNA has a lot riding on them with this whole Bound For Glory series.
 
10 days before bound for glory? Knowing TNA, they will promote the hell out of this 3 hour special and completly forget about Bound for glory. I wouldn'T be surprise if the card for that 3 hour show is bigger then the card For the PPV itself.

If it'S true, That really can'T be good at all no matter how you spin it.
 
3 hour wrestling doesn't often work all that well, but with the earlier start (as opposed to the midnight finish), you're likely to garner more viewers than you'ld lose in the last hour to those heading to bed.

If the build for Bound For Glory continues as successfully as it's been handled lately, this could be a pivotal moment leading into the PPV.
 
I for one think this is great news for IW. I also think this can kill all te comments on SpikeTV taking IW off the air, not likely they'd be giving them extra air time if that was the case.
 
Maybe with the UFC leaving spike this can give TNA the chance to get Xplosion on the air and see if that can catch some ratings. I think if spike did this for TNA it could give IMPACT WRESTLING (the show itself) the chance to not have such cluster fuck stories.
 
A later Finish allows for more gore. Ric take ur asprin and have ur blade ready. Same goes for you Hulk. Now I hope its not like that but we will see.
 
Cool, since its outside the impact zone it should be good, and having more time they can squeeze a few more matches in there.
