Founded byJeff JarrettandJerry Jarrettin 2002, following the end ofWorld Championship Wrestling(WCW) in 2001,[12]the promotion was initially known asNWA: Total Nonstop Action(NWA-TNA) and was affiliated with theNational Wrestling Alliance(NWA) governing body.[13]The promotion dropped the "NWA" brand from its name in 2004, becomingTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling.TNA continued to use the NWAWorld HeavyweightandTag Teamchampionshipsuntil this agreement ended in 2007; after which, the company would create its ownWorld HeavyweightandWorld Tag Teamchampionships. The promotion was purchased by Anthem at the beginning of 2017. In March of that year, it was rebranded toImpact Wrestlingafter itsweekly flagship television show,but returned to the TNA branding in January 2024.[14][15]

From its inception, TNA had been considered the second-largest in the United States behindWWEa position it would hold for most of the 2000s and early 2010s.[16][17]The promotion was known for featuring former top talent from WCW, WWE, andECW,such asRaven,Jeff Jarrett,andSting,free agents that were released from the WWE such asKurt Angle,Jeff Hardy,andMr. Kennedy(who wrestled as Mr. Anderson in TNA), as well as more homegrown wrestlers who had not appeared in WWE yet and mainly performed for the promotion such asAJ StylesandSamoa Joe.(Some of whom would later be signed by WWE during the mid to late 2010s as TNA suffered financial issues).[18]From 2015 to 2017, the promotion was viewed by some to have fallen behind longtime rivalRing of Honor;[19][20][21]with the loss of their U.S. television contract withSpikein 2014, as well as monetary and personnel issues, being noted as factors to their decline.[22]

By 2019, the promotion was viewed to have recovered through its sustained international distribution,[23]and the purchase by its parent company ofAXS TV;which subsequently began carrying the promotion's programming.[24][25]TNA is currently viewed as being the third-largest wrestling promotion in the United States; following the establishment ofAll Elite Wrestling(AEW) in 2019, and its current television deals withWarner Bros. Discovery'sTNTandTBS(both of which are seen in more households than AXS).[26][27]

History

Formation and early history (2002–2004)

Jeff Jarrett,one of the founders of TNA,Hall of Famerand six-timeNWA World Heavyweight Champion

The concept of TNA originated shortly afterWorld Championship Wrestling(WCW) ended in 2001, with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, laterWWE) gaining a monopoly on the industry. While on a fishing trip,Bob Ryder,Jeff JarrettandJerry Jarrettcontemplated their futures in the professional wrestling business under a parent company known as JSports & Entertainment, LLC.[2][13]Ryder suggested a company not reliant on television, but rather one going straight topay-per-view.[13]In July 2002,Vince Russojoined Jeff and Jerry Jarrett's NWA-TNA promotion as a creative writer and would assist in the writing and production of the shows. Russo states that he coined the name "Total Nonstop Action", the initials of the company "TNA" being a play on "T&A".The original intention, as they were exclusive to pay-per-view, was to be viewed as an edgier product than WWE.[28]

Initially, TNA'sweekly pay-per-viewshow operated as the company's main source of revenue, in place ofmonthly pay-per-view eventsused by other promotions. These shows took place mostly at theTennessee State Fairground Sports ArenainNashville,nicknamed the "TNA Asylum". In October 2002,Panda Energy Internationalpurchased acontrolling interest(72%) of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from Jerry Jarrett. TNA (which originally traded as "JSports and Entertainment ") was re-organized as" TNA Entertainment ", LLC, in the process.[29][30]Dixie Carterwas appointed president of TNA Entertainment in spring 2003.[31]Xplosionlaunched on November 27, 2002, as TNA's first regular cable show and featured exclusive matches taped at the TNA Asylum as well as exclusiveinterviewswithTNA wrestlersand the promotion's original weekly pay-per-view shows took place mostly at theTennessee State Fairground Sports ArenainNashville, Tennessee.The last weekly pay-per-view took place on September 8, 2004, with a total of 111 weekly pay-per-views.

X Division

Main article:X Division
High-flying, high risk moves are a centerpiece of theX Division.

The X Division is known for its high-flying, high-risk style matches. While most wrestlers who perform are under 220 lb (100 kg), thus being cruiserweights, Impact would emphasize the high-risk nature of the moves that these wrestlers perform by removing all restraints from competing in the X Division and allowing wrestlers to perform almoststunt-like moves. Because of this, wrestlers such as Samoa Joe, billed at 280 lb (130 kg), Kurt Angle, billed at 230 lb (100 kg), and Abyss, billed at 350 lb (160 kg), have also competed in the division.[citation needed]The slogan "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits" has been used throughout the years to describe the division.[189]

In August 2011, a 225 lb (102 kg) weight limit was introduced,[190]though it was quietly repealed in March 2012. Further changes introduced in March 2013, including a weight limit of 230 lbs, and all matches being contested as triple threat matches,[191]were also repealed in August.[192][193]

Six-sided ring

For much of its history, TNA Wrestling used a hexagonal ring.

From the promotion's first show in June 2002, a standard four-sidedwrestling ringwas used. In June 2004, with the premiere ofImpact!,TNA switched to a six-sided ring, as occasionally used in AAA.[194]The six-sided ring would be retired in January 2010,[195]only making a brief return for the 2011Destination Xevent. In 2014, after a fan-voted poll to determine what type of ring the company would use from June 2014,[196]the six-sided ring would return.[197]The promotion would continue to use the six-sided ring until January 2018, when it went back to a traditional four-sided ring.[198]

The term is applied universally towrestlers,backstage interviewers, andmanagers/valets.The division was established in 2002 mostly consisting of female valets and managers who were not competing often during the company's inception in 2002 until 2006; it became a permanent women's division in 2007 known as theTNA KnockoutsDivision that consisted of women such asGail Kim,Angelina Love,Velvet SkyandAwesome Kongand consisted (and consist) of titles such as and known as theTNA Knockouts World Championshipand theTNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships.The TNA Knockouts were formerly known as theWomen of TNA,andLadies of TNA.[199][200]

Contracts

Main article:List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling personnel

TNA wrestlers are forbidden by contract from working for other companies with televised wrestling shows, but are free to perform non-televised work for any other independent wrestling promotions, domestic or international, as well as televised events held by foreign promotions that Impact Wrestling is linked to or has a working relationship with (such as AAA and NOAH).[201]Many Impact wrestlers perform regularly for various promotions on theindependent circuitin addition to Impact Wrestling weekly shows. In 2012, the company changed its policy, preventing its talent from appearing at any independent events that are later released onDVD.[202]Top wrestlers have guaranteed contracts, but the majority of the roster are paid on a per appearance basis.[201]Impact wrestlers are classified asindependent contractorsand are not offered health coverage through the promotion.[201]As of November 2017, Impact Wrestling contracts give the performers complete ownership over all intellectual property associated with their characters.[203]

Hall of Fame

Main article:TNA Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame was introduced on May 31, 2012. As part of a yearly process, selected inductees are chosen based on their overall contributions to Impact's history.[204][205]On June 10, atSlammiversary 10,Sting was revealed as the first inductee into the Hall of Fame and his formal induction took place atBound for Gloryin October 2012.[206]

Partnerships

In early 2006, the promotion began a collaboration withHermie Sadler's United Wrestling Federation. The agreement permitted UWF to use the TNA logo on posters and signage, as well as to use the six-sided ring with TNA branding. These shows were mainly promoted as 'UWF/TNA' events. The TNA name agreement ended at the end of 2006, as TNA began to promote their own house show events, though UWF still used a six-sided ring.[207]These events were recorded and released on DVD by Highsports.[208][169]They would continue to work with United Wrestling Federation and promote independent shows at the same time, until 2007.

TNA has worked with several wrestling promotions, with championships from those promotions sometimes having been defended at TNA events. Among the organizations TNA has had working relationships with are Mexico'sConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre(CMLL) from 2007 to 2009 andThe Crash,Japan'sInoki Genome Federation(IGF),New Japan Pro-Wrestling(NJPW),Wrestle-1(W-1),Pro Wrestling Noah(Noah), United States' the originalGlobal Force Wrestling(another promotion founded by Jeff Jarrett),OMEGA Championship Wrestling(owned by Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy andGregory Helms) andEvolve Wrestling.[209]

The initial relationship with NJPW lasted from 2008 to 2011. Then-known as TNA, the promotion would send wrestlers to participate in NJPW's annualWrestle Kingdomevents, as well as NJPW sending futureIWGP Heavyweight ChampionKazuchika Okadaon a training excursion to TNA. The relationship would be strained, whenIWGP Tag Team ChampionsTeam 3Dwere held off of a New Japan tour in favor of appearing onImpact Wrestlingtapings and Okada was given thegimmickof "Okato", where he dressed similar toThe Green Hornet's sidekickKato.[210]a decision Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore has since apologized for on behalf of the previous regime.[211]In February 2021, Impact would re-established relationship with NJPW with NJPW later forgiving the incidents that happened under the previous regime.[212]

On March 2, 2014, TNA collaborated with Wrestle-1 in producing theKaisen: Outbreaksupershow in Tokyo, Japan, where three TNA championships were defended.[213][214]In May 2015, it was reported that the relationship between TNA and Wrestle-1 had ended.[215]

Since 2015, the promotion has had a working agreement with Mexico'sLucha Libre AAA Worldwide(AAA)[216]and in 2018, announced a partnership with the AAA-affiliatedLucha Underground,allowing their wrestlers from the show to appear for Impact on a regular basis. In April 2018, the two promotions heldImpact vs Lucha Undergroundfrom WrestleCon inNew Orleansto a sell out crowd.[217]On November 26, 2023, Impact and partner promotionLucha Libre AAA Worldwide(AAA), co-promoted the Ultra Clash supershow in theMonterrey, Mexicoarea, marking Impact's first show in Mexico since 2019.[188]

Since 2018, Impact has established working relationships with a number of promotions to co-promote house shows, Twitch specials, the finalImpact One Night Onlyevents, andImpact Plus Monthly Specials.These promotions include, Future Stars of Wrestling, Smash Wrestling, AML Wrestling, Superkick'd,Border City Wrestling,WrestleCade, Rocky Mountain Pro, Rockstar Pro Wrestling, Wrestlepro, Wrestling Revolver, RISE, Destiny Wrestling, Big Time Wrestling (California), DEFY Wrestling andHouse of Hardcore.[218][219]

Impact Wrestling would begin a partnership withAll Elite Wrestlingin December 2020, with its wrestlers and titles appearing on Impact programming.[220]In October 2021, the working relationship between Impact and AEW quietly ended followingBound for Glory.[221]

On the January 7, 2022, episode ofSmackDown,it was announced thatKnockouts ChampionMickie Jameswould enter the2022 Royal Rumblematch. BothWWE's official Twitter account and Impact's website confirmed this soon after, with the former recognizing James as an Impact champion. Two years later, Knockouts ChampionJordynne Gracewould enter in the Royal Rumble.[222][223][224]In 2024, TNA and WWE began a wider talent exchange, with several TNA wrestlers appearing on WWE'sNXT brand,and NXT wrestlers making periodic appearances at TNA events.
