“TNA” Name Is Dead; TNA Is Now Officially Impact Wrestling

At tonight’s Impact Wrestling tapings (airing March 9), there was an on-air announcement made by executive/booker Bruce Prichard that the “TNA” name is dead and “Impact Wrestling” is the only official name going forward.

Report via @MrJacobCohen on Twitter:

Bruce Prichard is here. Bruce claiming there was an Impact with hope a few years ago, but for whatever reason it didn’t happen. TNA as a name is dead. Impact Wrestling is officially the only name this company goes by from this point forward. The new owners looked for people who have achieved greatness in the past, and Bruce has been there for it all. Bruce knows how to make wrestling great, and he certainly knows how to make an Impact.

They really played up the “old owners were idiots and ruined TNA” / “Make Impact Wrestling Great Again” angle at the tapings.
