Impact Wrestling no longer available via Twitch, announces new YouTube subscription model

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

Impact Wrestling issued the following press release on Wednesday to announce the “Impact Insiders” YouTube subscription package.

NASHVILLE, TN, (August 4, 2021) – IMPACT Wrestling has launched the first of its kind fan membership on YouTube. Part fan-club and part digital subscription service, members of IMPACT Wrestling Insiders get access to a raft of premium content, brand new shows and exclusive perks not available anywhere else.

Available immediately on IMPACT Wrestling’s hugely popular YouTube Page, there are two membership tiers.

Level one, IMPACT Insider, is priced at only 99-cents (USD) per month and gives fans access to fan loyalty badges that identify them as members, exclusive community posts and – each and every Thursday – the promotion’s flagship two-hour television show, IMPACT!.

Members of the second level, dubbed IMPACT Ultimate Insider, get all the above plus access to much more exclusive content, including new Originals featuring The Good Brothers, Josh Alexander, Sami Callihan and D’Lo Brown, every Pay-Per-View in TNA/IMPACT history, access to IMPACT Wrestling’s ‘Big Four’ Pay-Per-View events just 30 days after they take place, exclusive merchandise offers, exclusive live chats with IMPACT wrestlers and more. IMPACT Ultimate Insider is priced at $4.99 (USD) per month.

With the launch of IMPACT Insiders on YouTube, IMPACT Wrestling will discontinue its presence on Twitch. The July 29 episode of IMPACT! was the final weekly show to stream on Twitch.

Powell’s POV: Impact also has the Impact Plus streaming service that includes monthly specials and additional content. Given the popularity of YouTube, it’s not a bad idea. It will be interesting to see if other companies follow suit.

Update: Impact Wrestling has also announced that it will no longer be streaming on Twitch, which helps explain why the company has opted for this new YouTube approach. Their official statement is below.
