How does impact still Have a following? It's a good product, plus it's weekly shows, & especially it's Impact+ Specials & PPV's, deliver good - great shows. While it's true that it was at a pretty bad place(at least, off-screen) a few years ago...they've spent the last few years doing a great job at rehabbing their image. |

The NWA basically is dead already, I don't understand how it exists NOW

It depends on what you consider unkillable, which is to say, TNA DID die. Impact is the Theseus' ship of wrestling. With Dixie and the Jarrett's gone, there's little to no DNA left over, just a few wrestlers and some trademarks. NWA's trickier. The way it was structured from the beginning makes it harder to define what is and isn't life for it. Please don't give J. J. Abrams any ideas.  |

It’s not like the greatest thing ever, but it’s a rebound from all of the Dixie and Russo damage. |

Impact has settled in the last couple of years now. mid-level wwe guys, still have a bullet club/njpw exchange of sorts, gets a few forbidden door peeks with AEW (ie sabin vs kazarian coming up) even after the omega stuff ended, women's division is in good shape (and they even still have women's tag champs!), a few RoH folk plus their homegrown people.
while they don't have any super-huge names that make people say. "Hey soandso is on Impact now!" they've pretty much become a reliable plan B for a lot of people whom AEW/wwe aren't interested in signing.
NWA comes back from the dead more than PCO it seems. other than Aldis being champ for like two years i couldn;t really say much about the current situation other than he doesn;t have it anymore and the aldis' are feuding with the cordonas.

I'd say the NWA - only because Impact has value that could eventually be purchased if the price is right and if Anthem ends up wanting to dump it as a property. We saw this happen with ROH. With the NWA, it has no real significant value but it has enough historic value that someone will always want to run it for the sake of running it.

Impact is The Grimace of wrestling.
Nothing can kill it.

Callis and D'Amore have done a hell of a job making impact respectable again. And it still has imo the best booked women's wrestling product out of any national promotion. |

The NWA is basically an MLM for indie wrestling promoters and has been since WCW cut ties. The whole thing is worthless without rubes willing to buy in just to have a name that meant something when they were children.

If Impact hasn't died, it will never.
The only way I can see is if AEW buys it... but they bought ROH instead, so it makes Impact invincible

The question in the thread title is different than the one above the poll. In a way, they're contradictory. The NWA is the most unkillable because somebody will always want to run under those letters. I'm more surprised that TNA/Impact is still around because I expect promoters, wrestlers, and fans to have less loyalty to that brand.
