TNA RETURNS TO LIFE TOMORROW

Impact Wrestling will be taping their one hour TNA AXS TV special tomorrow in Atlanta, GA at the Coca-Cola Roxy, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

The special will air on AXS TV on 3/31, featuring original content that will set the stage for the TNA: There’s No Place Like Home PPV on Friday 4/3 from Wrestlecon on FITE.TV.

Longtime TNA ring announcer Dave Penzer is in Atlanta for tomorrow's special taping.

NWA: TNA was founded in June 2002 by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett as a weekly PPV promotion before selling the majority ownership of the promotion to The Carter Family's Panda Energy. The promotion's relationship with the NWA soured in 2004, leading to the promotion being dubbed simply TNA. It ran TV on FOX Sports before migrating to Spike TV for a long run that ended in the fall of 2014. By this point, Panda Energy had divested itself of the promotional ownership. In March 2017, the promotion was rebranded Impact Wrestling, the longtime name of their weekly TV series and for a time, was planned to be re-named Global Force Wrestling before it resumed branding as Impact Wrestling. By this point, Anthem Media had usurped ownership from Carter after calling in debts that had been accrued in order to keep the promotion running and producing content. The return of the TNA name is being done to play on the nostalgia of the promotion's earlier days with a number of former talents and concepts, including the King of the Mountain Match, being utilized on the 4/3 PPV.
