Per Dixie's Twitter and Facebook:
TNA will make a major announcement during tonights TNA iMPACT! on Spike TV at 8ET/7CT. We strive to deliver what our fans want, and the next step in the evolution of the TNA brand will do just that.
The announcement is:
TNA'S ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE...
by Mike Johnson @ 5:41 PM on 5/3/2010
According to a source at SpikeTV, tonight will be the final live Impact on Mondays. The series will return to Thursday broadcasts at 9 PM next week. TNA talent were told within the last hour personally by President Dixie Carter.
Note from Mike: For the long term good of the company, based on last week's ratings, this was probably the best move the company could have made. I don't see the Monday Night move as a failed experiment as much as growing pains the company needed to experience in order to see what would and wouldn't work. Now they know and what they learn from it will be the most important thing going forward.

I bet Dixie Carter delivers it standing in a WWE ring on Raw tonight.

Finally changing the name of the company. I hope. Please do it, Dixie.

Another major announcement??? Look.....if you want to hype your shows fine, but having MAJOR announcements on almost every show kind of lowers the value of the announcement.

I hope they make every match a shoot and then say that fan run ins are okay.

I bet TNA will go back to Thursdays. Maybe have a Sunday Night Heat/Superstars show from 8-9 and Impact on Thursdays. That would be a smart decision but knowing TNA Lex Luger gets a title shot at Sacrifice against RVD.

I've found that when TNA advertises a major announcement, that it usually lives up to its billing.
Angle's signing, Hogan's signing, moving to prime time, moving to Mondays, going live bi-weekly, etc.
My guess would be that they're either taking iMPACT! on the road, at least on a semi-regular basis (once a month), that iMPACT! is going live each and every Monday, or that they're adding a secondary show.

Reminiscent of the dying days of WCW. Before I get jumped on, I'm not saying TNA is dying yet, but WCW used to pull this stuff all the time to try to pop a rating. |

Unless it's "we're moving the show back to Thursdays", it's not major to me. They come off as totally desperate.

Bischoff specifically mentioned Jason Powell as being credible, so this is likely legit. My hope is that it's not just iMPACT! going back to Thursdays, but the announcement of a secondary show on Monday nights as well, even if it's just one hour, 8-9. |

Don't get my hopes up . . . 1st firing Bubba, then moving back to Thursday and giving up on this ridiculous "war." If TNA decides to give the MCMG the tag titles it will be a trifecta of smart moves by TNA. |

Hope it's not to move back to Thursdays or else I'll probably stop watching again. I can't stand the low budgety feel to their taped shows. If they are going to be live on Thursdays every other week than it wouldn't be so bad, but if its weekly taped shows again than forget it.

I kind of hope this isn't true, because I have far too much going on TV-wise on Thursdays to keep up with IMPACT

TNA's bringing back Bubba the Love Sponge! ...because the loyal fans in the ¡mpact! Zone deserve to see Bubba fired in person. Live.  |
