May 1, 2019 marked the celebration of Labor Day in the Philippines
where the hardwork and perseverance of every Filipino skilled worker is honored,
but it happens to be the day when the Global Wrestling Network (GWN) has been
officially rebranded and is now known as IMPACT Plus. The one-stop destination
featuring the best professional wrestling action on the planet which was
launched in late 2017 has been literally given a 'digivolution' with a new name
and wrestling fans around the world, including those in the Philippines, will
have reasons why they should try it out for the most part.
IMPACT Wrestling's newly rebranded multi-platform digital subscription
video-on-demand (SVOD) service will feature live monthly premium network
specials, instant access to the 3,000+ hour IMPACT library, groundbreaking original
series, reality shows and documentaries, exclusive events from international promotional
partners and historical content from old territories. IMPACT's 17-year library
includes every classic PPV event from its early years headlined by some of the
biggest household names in professional wrestling such as Hulk Hogan, Ric
Flair, Sting, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, Booker T, Jeff Jarrett, Gail
Kim, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode among others.
IMPACT Plus is available in over 120 countries worldwide on various
over-the-top platforms and devices including PCs and laptops via plus.impactwrestling.com, Android and
iOS smartphones, Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. A premium subscription is
priced at US$7.99 a month with a 30-day free trial for new users while an
annual subscription priced at US$71.99 is available as well. On the other Hand,
IMPACT Wrestling's major annual PPV events including Slammiversary and Bound For
Glory can be purchased on the service. Anyone who purchases a PPV event on IMPACT
Plus will receive three months of free premium access to the service for every
purchase. Meanwhile, GWN users will have their subscription migrated to IMPACT
Plus upon resetting their password and re-adding their mode of payment.
Apart from these interesting options available, IMPACT Plus users can enjoy
free access to new weekly episodes of IMPACT Wrestling and Xplosion as well as
top digital content featuring top professional wrestling stars including Johnny
IMPACT, Brian Cage, Rob Van Dam, Moose, Sami Callihan, Eddie Edwards, Michael
Elgin, Rich Swann, the high-flying X Division and the sensational Knockouts
such as Taya Valkyrie, Madison Rayne, Tessa Blanchard, Jordynne Grace, Rosemary
and Su Yung. Furthermore, the service features an enhanced functionality on all
available platforms which offers more convenience and easier accessibility for
any user's viewing pleasure.
