It was announced tonight at Bound for Glory that the Impact Wrestling name will be retired. The company will be TNA Wrestling once again starting in January.

Random…but half the people still call it TNA anyway…and Impact Wrestling never made people forget it.

Just saw this on Twitter and came right to the board. Did we get a reason why? I'd have preferred a wholly new from scratch name than something that has decades of hangups and issues like TNA.
Ace Steel's back with the company one day and already this happens...

The clip announcing it -
Is it a wager that the nostalgia of one-time TNA fans outweighs the prospective of growth among new fans?

A few years ago, I'd have hated this, but I feel like enough time has passed to distance themselves from some of the more humiliating aspects of their history.

Not much of a fan. Impact became more the brand of solid constant good wrestling. TNA just makes me think of all the bad booking and managment.

Me earlier tonight in the BFG thread: I'm gonna try really hard not to call them TNA for the sake of someone dear to me trying to get me to give this show a real chance.
The show: WE'RE TNA AGAIN NOW YOU GUYS
I will never put effort into anything ever again.

"TNA IS BACK" is trending and I assume confusing a lot of people with no context lol

ROH

The clip announcing it - Is it a wager that the nostalgia of one-time TNA fans outweighs the prospective of growth among new fans? Curious if they're going back to this branding to maybe try and get more attention? Maybe even a better TV deal? Because it's more recognizable? I'm not saying that'll happen but it is a curious change, they seem to be trying to do something. |

The people currently running IMPACT have managed to turn it into a wrestling company that people unironically enjoy. It'll take some time, but I have faith that they can rehab the TNA reputation at least somewhat.

I hope the sendoff for IMPACT is a guy dressed as the IMPACT logo gets kidnapped by ninjas.
