TNA, IN 2026? REALLY?

[Dolfan in NYC]

TNA's agreement with TKO is supposedly set to continue through 2028 at least.  Both sides are apparently very happy with the arrangement.

And... TNA moves to AMC starting January 16th.  Woo!

[zendragon]

they really should try to get Keith Richards to make an appearance at BFG

[NoFistsJustFlips]

I'm gonna give TNA a shot. Haven't watched regularly since the initial post Hogan era. But I'll check out the debut episode and see how much I enjoy it.

Rumors of Jericho showing up and them announcing AJ... if I have the book I'm begging TKO to let me cash in all of the good will from thr partnership to get an AJ vs Jericho match.

I mean if it's two WWE contracted guys working each other (and two legendary pros) in TKO's shoes I'd be okay with it. Get them some buzz. Get one last AJ match before he retires. Get one more bucket list thing for Jericho and get him a TNA match.

With Perez Hilton on the show, how can you not check it out?

So what is this shit about the Rascalz out of TNA?

Their contracts expired (or they've been performing per diem, the stories are unclear).  But, they're allegedly done and can appear wherever they want.

So Steve Maclin removed TNA or Impact from his social page.  Either they are doing an angle and needs this or TNA could be incredibly fucked 

[TheVileOne]

Crazy to me that after all this time, TNA finally makes it back, gets a new TV deal, probably their biggest broadcast deal in over a decade, and they squander a golden opportunity. It's like LOLTNA is hard-wired into the company's DNA.

It's also very strange to me that Anthem spent years erasing TNA from existence and rebranding into Impact, only to ultimately resume the TNA branding a few years later. It's such a weird choice. At least they probably didn't waste as much money rebranding as WBD did with HBO Max to Max and back to HBO Max.

if they hadn't done a Feast or Fired last week, imagine a Valentines Day themed Feast or Fired. The good heart boxes have candy or title matches. And one of them will get you fired or give you the shits if Vince Russo was writing for the company

Russo would have one box have a valentine from “the ugly girl” (of course, none of them actually ate)

TNA suing Gail Kim before she can sue them apparently

TNA suing Gail Kim before she can sue them apparently

per Yahoo Sports:

Quote

Former seven-time TNA/Impact Knockouts Champion Gail Kim will see her day in court, as TNA Wrestling parent company, Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC, has filed a lawsuit against the Hall of Famer's actions for claiming violations of the Florida Private Whistleblower Act (an act that protects employees from retaliatory actions from their employer). Anthem is asking the court to rule that Kim is not allowed to bring claims against the company under Florida statutes, including the Florida Private Whistleblower Act, the Florida Civil Rights Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

fucking LOLTNA. "we're suing you to ensure that you're legally not allowed to sue us for retribution against whistleblowers".

it's not retribution if it's preemptive.

gotta love TNA insisting that they can't be sued in Florida while doing like 90% of their business in Florida for like 18 years in a row

So apparently Mance Warner & Steph De Lander quit TNA.  His  character really didn't seem to fit what they want from this company now

Sounds like it had to do with TNA not clearing Steph to return to the ring after her neck injury

Yeah, TNA refused to clear her even though WWE's spinal surgeon did clear her and that pissed her off.

Fightful reports that Dani Luna has been granted her release from TNA. 

A little surprising as I thought she had been on fire lately, but I wondered why she took the fall at Sacrifice. She did work the recent tapings so she may have one last match to air.

we as a society have moved beyond the need for EC3.

However, it's never too late to control your narrative.

Boy, Carlos Silva is having himself quite a week. The only thing left is to be named in the Epstein files.

[DreamBroken]

TNA have announced the return of the all steel cage event Lockdown on August 23 in Chicago for the first time in 10 years and the first standalone PPV version since 2014 as the last two were just themed episodes of Impact

Well we knew it would happen but didn't think it would be this quick as Dexter Lumis is back to be Sam Shaw

So it's time for me to break out my TNA IMPACT Creepy Bastard shirt? Hear it was never sold on the website or at shows,.. no clue if that is true. Got  one back when TNA was going under,before Corgin saved them,in a brown bag special.
