New Life for TNA - Earned


This company, man. 

After what was likely one of its most successful years in company history, TNA capped it all off with an early holiday gift, making a long-awaited announcement (and ending all of the speculation) - Impact!, the flagship show, will be moving to the AMC Network beginning January 15, 2026. 


It’s difficult NOT to look back on the road here for TNA. The company has endured some tough times, and many of those times, it felt like the end was near.

However, from a different lens, it speaks to the excellence and vision of the current leadership team of TNA, as well as the consistent success that has gotten the team to this point. 

Wrestling fans have a lot of opinions - a significant majority of them are often critical - however, it must be acknowledged how incredibly difficult carving out a niche in the current entertainment landscape is. TNA did that with a brand that at one point needed a wash, rinse, and repeat while being on hiatus, before returning and making a run for serious growth.

The bottom line: TNA earned this. 

With live entertainment at a premium in the entertainment world, TNA is in demand. It’s 2008 all over again!

I’ve been a fan since day one. I’ve been through A LOT as a fan of this brand. So have many others as well.

In my opinion, TNA has been the most consistent product in the wrestling world since 2020.

Attending Slammiversary at UBS Arena on Long Island this summer was one of the most entertaining pro wrestling shows I’ve ever attended, and easily tops the chart for my favorite live TNA show. 

I’m looking forward to the AMC partnership and what is undoubtedly a new era of TNA Wrestling. 

Tons of credit to the current team at TNA - all involved - that got themselves to this point. And shout out to what has to be the most loyal fanbase in pro wrestling. 

To quote the late Bray Wyatt - “we’re here…”

Now let’s see what TNA does with their second, third, fourth... new life.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

The Pondering 10 - Favorite Knicks Head Coaches

I'm still on a championship high (probably until Banner night in October to be honest), so I'm dropping more Pondering 10s as my brain (and heart) works through all of the emotions and reflection from my beloved New York Knicks - 2025-2026 NBA Champions!  Let's talk coaches.  We've been through so many. My fellow Knicks fans, we've seen so many coaches walk the sidelines of Madison Square Garden, and the recent championship is so amazing to think about - Mike Brown, one year, title.  With that said, here is a list of my favorite Knicks Coaches (in my lifetime, so no Red Holtzman). It's tougher than you think, but we're doing it.  To begin, here are those banned from this list. On the sheer qualifier that these coaches - by fault of their own, or maybe not - will always resonate with disdain and the lowest of the lows.  Derek Fisher Oh, the Phil Jackson era. When we were given a coach who had never done so before, implementing the triangle offense was more im...

Knicks Postseason 2026, Conference Finals vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

It feels like forever since we've played.  But we've got our opponent, and it's go time!  Review Thoughts from Round 1 Review Thoughts from Round 2 Like every other Knick fan, I too hoped for a seven-game series between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and that's what we got. The long series added time for our squad to rest up (get healthy, OG!) and more time to scout exactly what we'll have to deal with in the Eastern Conference Finals.  We've been here before, and a trip to the NBA Finals once again feels all too close. All too real!  The Cavaliers present some interesting dynamics with their electric backcourt and the size up front with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. There are also two players on the roster, Dennis Schroder and Max Strus, who often find ways to stick it to the Knicks. Sam Merrill seems like the kind of guy who would join that group in this series.  Nonetheless, the Knicks are on a historic run. The Cavs have been knocking on t...
