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.

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/11/19

3 Up 1. Eva Ramon Gallegos Cure HPV - Could Cervical Cancer be a thing of the past? It very much looks like it as after twenty years of work, Gallegos has found a cure that completely eliminates the cancer. This is remarkable work, and it's pretty awesome to see the Mexican Medical community come together proudly in this achievement. 2. "This is America" Grammy - Finally!! Childish Gambino got some national love for the work he did on this great song, and even more so, on the overall art/video that was "This is America". Of course, he wasn't there to pick it up as the Grammys and their long standing issue with the hip-hop community continues... 3. Women at SOTU - Women continue to be bad ass in the current age. Their solidarity within the Capitol for the President's SOTU was a great sight to see. 3 Down 1. Venezuela Crisis - The country of Venezuela is in absolute shambles right now as they tussle over leadership, and really, a move toward d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/3/22

3 Up 1. Bill Limiting Cost of Insulin - Kudos to the House of Reps who passed a bill to cap the price of insulin under private health insurance and Medicare. I just don't think a drug that is relatively cheap everywhere else in the world should be at insane levels here so Big Pharma can make a bigger profit. Just my opinion... 2. Jon Batiste - I didn't see the Grammys (It's Wrestlemania Weekend, sorry!), but my guy Batiste cleaned up with some hardware tonight, including album of the year. Awesome stuff and well deserved.  3. Wrestlemania Weekend - Ah yes, it was a great show. And for any older millennial or Gen X individual, there was a lot of nostalgia to enjoy. Check out my review of both nights.  3a. The Undertaker's HOF Speech - Much love to Mark Calloway, the man behind The Undertaker persona. Over 30 years of entertaining us all, he's got his rightful place in the Hall of Fame. Also, a tremendous speech on Friday night during the induction.  3 Down 1. Sacram...
