(the promotion will change names on January 13th, so there we are) ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS World Champion: Alex Shelly As much as I'm a mark for Josh Alexander, I have to say it was the right move for Shelly to keep the title. Considering the upcoming heel challengers (Jonathan Gresham, Moose), he has more fresh match-ups. World Tag Team Champions: The ABC The Bullet Club duo of Ace Austin and Chris Bey reclaimed the straps after defeating the Rascalz. You could run it back, what with ex-Rascal Myron Reed possibly signing, but that's just one option. X Division Champion: Chris Sabin The other Motor City Machine Gun has gold as well! The now 10-time X Division Champion has no obvious challenger at this moment. Knockouts World Champion: Trinity After dispatching Mickie James, Trinity has two challengers to worry about : Deonna Purrazzo (who must win at Turning Point, less she lose the ability to challenge for the title again as long as Trinity is champion) and Jordynne Grace (who Called her Shot for Hard to Kill). Knockouts World Tag Team Champions: MKUltra even when their match doesn't happen on PPV Digital Media Champion: Tommy Dreamer Probably losing to Crazzy Steve. Hard to Kill is January 13th, from Las Vegas, at which point the Golduck thread ID will probably only be used for the TV show (when those are warranted).

option c is good and i thought the bound for glory series was a great way to give guys something to do during the leadup to the show. they did it correctly most of the way once then threw everything into the trash for jeff hardy.

I'd also love to see the Bound for Glory Series come back, ideally in the 2012 format where it made sense. Nobody else in North America is aping the round-robin format!

Announcing a huge company reset and having a lame duck period before the rebrand is very on brand for TNA. Congrats to them for doing it.

They slow down every winter season but i guess you would need to follow the product to be aware of that.

I am not talking about a slow down I am talking about announcing you are rebranding your company... but that you are doing it in a few months which leads to a lame duck period where the company is still just Impact. This is similar to, as mentioned when Hogan came in and also similar to when they got on Spike. The humor, thusly is that their process to going back to TNA is a very TNA process.

It makes me think of that "best of" Nitro before Bischoff and Russo teamed up. Or the WWE episodes that take place between the Draft and the Draft going into effect.

The theoretical alternative is them changing the name now and having the holiday down-time be the first thing people experience after the rebrand, which imho would be THE classic TNA way.

They could just announce the change in January. Or in the lead up to Bound for Glory their biggest event of the year. They decide when they change the name. It's not forced on them.

You have to remember, they're taping almost everything for the rest of the year this week in the UK. It's been discussed that Skyway Studios (the editing center for the promotion) is undergoing upgrades in November/December, which is why after this week there are only going to be two live shows until Hard to Kill.

# ? Oct 24, 2023 18:22 |

Yeah it makes sense given the production upgrades Also TNA has notoriously been Hard To Kill, so the branding is perfect for the return

new belts with new designs are being made for the relaunch, some may be unified early in the year. im guessing digital media title isn't long for this world.

https://twitter.com/impactwrestling/status/1718339746982670509?s=46&t=_akPFYiqAqKbxYd3RPf4Jg Huge signing for TNA. Can best describe him as the British Nick Wayne. He’s the one who goes viral every few months for that Swanton 450 he does as a finish

Can't believe tickets are only $20 for this. Pretty tiny venue as well so that's a hell of a value if only for this match alone - snapped mine up right away.
