The firststreaming mediaservice to offerTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling(TNA) content on-demand was the TNA Video Vault, which launched in 2009.[2]The service changed its name to 'TNA On Demand' in 2010 and continued until its shuttering around early 2013.[citation needed]

The company previously operated the "TNA Wrestling Plus"YouTubechannel, where users could rent pay-per-views and documentaries previously released on DVD.[3]

In early 2017, current parent companyAnthem Sports & Entertainment(which acquired and rebranded the promotion as Impact Wrestling that same year) launched "Total Access TNA" (later known asTotal Access Impact) in theUnited Kingdomafter broadcasterChallenge's contract had expired.[4]

Jarrett owned all properties related toGlobal Force Wrestling(GFW) since its creation in 2014; in-spite of GFW's brief merger with, and subsequent rebrand of, Impact Wrestling as GFW in 2017. Had the lawsuit by Jarrett been successful, Impact would need to immediately suspend the operations of GWN.[12][13]
