Global multi-platform sports media and entertainment company Anthem Sports & Entertainment recently announced that its professional wrestling company IMPACT Wrestling is returning to its iconic Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling name at “Hard To Kill", its first pay-per-view event of 2024 and the first in the new era for the iconic wrestling brand, which will originate for the first time ever from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The announcement was made at the end of IMPACT Wrestling's flagship PPV event “Bound For Glory” held last October 21, 2023 which aired live around the world in front of a standing-room-only crowd inside the Cicero Stadium in Chicago, Illinois.
TNA will be launching on 2024 with Hard To Kill on January 13 followed by a second night of action-packed professional wrestling – the “Snake Eyes Extravaganza Show” – at The Palms on January 14. The Snake Eyes Extravaganza Show will be taped to air on the company’s flagship weekly TV show, Impact!, airing in the United States every Thursday night on AXS TV (8:00 pm ET/7:00 pm CT/6:00 pm MT/5:00 pm PT) and worldwide via IMPACT Ultimate Insiders on YouTube, IMPACT Plus and DAZN. Company officials confirmed that the new year will launch a new-look TNA Wrestling that runs from the entrance ramp to turnbuckles in the ring to larger, more prestigious venues and much, much more. IMPACT Wrestling President Scott D'Amore shared further details with IMPACT's main commentator Tom Hannifan on the company's official Facebook page on what fans should look forward to on what is known as the 'second golden era' for TNA Wrestling and addressed questions raised by professional wrestling critics and journalists from across the globe regarding the company's return to its original name that is still heard by fans and partners worldwide until now. Watch the full interview below.
TNA Wrestling launched in the summer of 2002 and has long been known as the most innovative professional wrestling company in the world. TNA is known for its high-risk, action-packed X Division matches that have run with one simple motto, "It’s not about weight limits, it’s about no limits". Stars of the X Division have included current champion Chris Sabin with a record 10 title reigns; A.J. Styles, the first-ever champion; along with Jay Lethal, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Petey Williams, Frankie Kazarian and Trey Miguel, among others. TNA is also the home of the prestigious Knockouts Division, which is widely regarded as the best women’s division in all professional wrestling since its inception in 2007. The Knockouts Division features current Knockouts World Champion Trinity, Deonna Purrazzo, Mickie James, Jordynne Grace, Gisele Shaw, Masha Slamovich, KiLynn King, Jessicka and Courtney Rush, among others. Legendary past Knockouts include IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Famers Gail Kim, Awesome Kong and Traci Brooks as well as The Beautiful People, Taya Valkyrie, ODB, Tara, and so many others.
