TNA Wrestling

TNA Wrestling (Total Nonstop Action) has gone from a glorified Indy promotion under the NWA banner, full of hopes and dreams to the second largest wrestling organization in the United States with its own legacy. In about 6 hard worked years it has earned it's spot as the "number 2" in sports entertainment and despite some worrying and questionable times it now has the building blocks to succeed indefinitely.

With WCW and the original ECW gone and only one major competitor in the market place wrestling star Jeff Jarrett and his equally famous father Jerry, decided to create their own promotion TNA wrestling. After some early financial difficulties the Carter's and Panda Energy decided to invest in the company, impressed by the multiple revenue streams available, which as of 2008 is finally paying off - with successful Internet, Pay Per View, merchandise, overseas TV and national primetime TV in the form of flagship show Impact, house shows and overseas tours bringing in a profit.

With global domination in mind TNA Wrestling started strong with weekly Wednesday night PPVs (a concept never thought possible) and by 2004 they debuted Impact to the masses on Fox Sports Net - changing their weekly PPV format to the more popular monthly method. When WWE returned home to the USA Network TNA managed to sell a proven product to Spike TV and this is where they remain with a consistent fan base.

TNA now have global stars in the likes of Booker T, Kurt Angle, Sting and Kevin Nash coupled with their own homegrown talent and unique brands like the X-Division and match concepts such as the King Of The Mountain - they are often the highest rated channel on Youtube and are slowly but surely mounting an offense on WWE.

If TNA take everything one step at a time and continue their strong relationship with the Carter's then things can only get better and they are far from going out of business.
