TNA Wrestling preps for first ever HDTV broadcast
Aw, yeah. Just a few short weeks after TNA Wrestling wrapped up the final loose ends on a new high-def studio in Nashville, in comes the announcement we've been expecting. TNA will be taping a live iMPACT! event on October 23rd in Las Vegas which it will broadcast in high-definition on Spike TV. When it airs, it'll mark the first ever HDTV broadcast for the sport. We'd say you could go and watch the sweat / blood in person, but maybe it's best to just take this one in from the (HD) sidelines.

"When it airs, it'll mark the first ever HDTV broadcast for the sport."
Ehhh.... No... It will mark the first ever HD broadcast for TNA Wrestling. WWE has been broadcasting in HD since early this year.

Useless knowledge for the day: TNA actually broadcast in HD long before WWE. When TNA started as a pay-per-view only brand like six years ago, some of these broadcasts were available in HD.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

in the 90s paul heyman and jim crocket ran a promotion wwn world wrestling network (was to become an online wrestling show broadcast in HD. they only did 1 or 2 tapings, before heyman left (at the time heyman just started in ecw right before the switch from eastern to extreme championship wrestling) this was early 90s

Do people actually watch wrestling?

Yes, Raw is often the number 1 show on Cable. Smackdown, for years, was the highest rated show on UPN/CW. TNA does a decent rating for a second tier company.
