Major TNA Update: New Logo, Impact Wrestling Moving to Friday Nights in 2015, Possible Deal With Netflix

--Moments ago, TNA made a major announcement in regards to the debut of Impact Wrestling on Destination America, its new network home.

There will be a live edition of Impact on Wednesday, January 7th from 9-11 PM ET from the Manhattan Center in New York. The following week, the show will be MOVED to Friday nights from 9-11PM ET where it will remain going forward. 

It was also announced that Bobby Roode will defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the third and final match against Bobby Lashley at the final Wednesday night live episode on 1/7. They are advertising Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Gail Kim and Ethan Carter III for the show, which will air again with an encore immediately following the live broadcast.

--Discovery Communications, the parent company of Destination America, and Netflix are negotiating to bring it’s programming to the on demand streaming service, according to a report in Variety.com.

“”We want to do deal with them. They want to do deal with us. It’s a question of value,” said David Zaslav, speaking at an investor conference held by UBS. Discovery’s original deal in 2011 allowed Netflix to stream some of their programming.

If this new deal goes through then it could open the doors for TNA to get their programming and possibly older content on the streaming service.

Much of the WWE programming found on Netflix is now available on the WWE Network and Netflix is looking for more original programming. TNA and Netflix could be a good fit.

TNA on Fridays? That'll be weird.

I like the idea, Netflix i can watch it anytime. The move to Fridays is a good idea as well. To bad Smackdown is moving to Thursdays though i would have loved Friday night wars.  They could have had a ratings war just like the old days with WCW. It would help Improve both show's in the long run, but not going to happen now WWE is just going to be competing with its self.

I don't see why they won't just go back to Thursdays

 

Now that I think about it, maybe it's because SD is moving to Thursday's right?

I thought EC3 was injured?

Ah exactly. I still think it'll be weird watching TNA on Fridays xD.

The logo is awful.

The logo is awful.

At least it confirms they're keepig the six sided ring.

^Agreed.

I don't really like the logo but I never really liked them not using TNA in their logo. I don't have destination america so I don't know if I'll even bother keeping up with TNA.

This is why we have YouTUbe. I'm always watching on YouTube because it's much easier.

Unfortunately Google has purchased YouTube, making it more Corporate and Restrictive.

I like your AVI of Marshall by the way. I'm a Fan. Hated Shady XV, but I loved everything from Infinite up to Relapse and maybe the MMLP2.

 

I like most of his work. Especially Legacy and a few of his classic songs.
