Stevie Richards Calls Out TNA for Poor Planning Around AMC Relaunch

TLDR

Stevie Richards criticized TNA's planning around their AMC relaunch, questioning the decision to debut Thursday Night iMPACT on January 15 and follow it immediately with the Genesis pay-per-view on January 17. Richards argued that the three-day gap didn't give fans enough time to become emotionally invested before being asked to pay for a PPV, suggesting the new era should have started after Genesis instead. TNA's AMC debut drew just under 175,000 viewers.
