Awesome news. They’re doing some good things over in the world of Impact lately, I think I’m gonna start checking it out instead of Rampage from now on.
The best thing Impact ever did was get away from the TNA branding. The double entendre of it was incredibly dumb, and rooted in Vince Russo's fucked up sensibilities.
If they think this will help them grow, I strongly disagree.
I stopped watching TNA when they got rid of the six sided ring. Not so much because of the ring itself, but it was just the last straw with all the shitty changes Hogan and Bischoff made.
It's true. The name change doesn't do much for me (I wasn't watching so I don't have nostalgia for that era) but it seems to be going over very well online. And D'amore's reasoning in their press release made a lot of sense (people still chant TNA at shows, overseas broadcasters still refer to them as TNA in meetings).
That is all true, but the Perc Angle era has been getting a lot of nostalgic attention lately, and even the Hogan /Dixie era, which was pure trash but funny has been getting some pops.
Impact (the company) is rebranding itself back to TNA Wrestling as they were before, which with the timing of the PPV will likely be with their new upgraded production set up as well. That is all we really know for now.
