TNA IMPACT WRESTLING announced that the highly-rated weekly series will be making changes to its programming to include a hybrid of reality and explosive action each Thursday, live on SPIKE TV at 8:00pm/ ET. The reality elements and production technique represent the most significant evolution in this genre in more than 15 years.

This announcement is a key component in the continued growth of the TNA IMPACT WRESTLING brand that is bringing game-changing programming to the world of professional wrestling. Cameras will be everywhere. Meetings will be shot in real time and unscripted as we capture moments; not produced segments. Access to conversations and vantage points that have never been seen before, such as production meetings, talent evaluations and post match critiques, will be revealed. Combined with an emphasis on story structure, long term character and story development, these changes will help IMPACT WRESTLING pioneer the next generation of wrestling entertainment programming.

Going live allows IMPACT WRESTLING a deeper connection with our audience via social media. IMPACT WRESTLING will be the most socially interactive television program in the history of professional wrestling. Viewers will have a variety of unique opportunities to participate and influence certain elements of the program through various social media platforms. Also, backstage will take center stage, as fans will have access to live interviews being conducted featured on IMPACT WRESTLING : THURSDAY ON SPIKE.

Wow, a lot going on this Thursday for sure. Roode/Anderson should be decent but I still can't stand Anderson. I guess its the freshest match Roode could have though, so I won't complain too much. Nice to see the BFG Series is making a return even if its pretty much a foregone conclusion that James Storm will be winning it. The Gauntlet Match could be pretty fun though, so I'm looking forward to it and of course to this LD, still the best on the internet!

Nice to hear they're doing the BFG series again, it's a good idea and hopefully they'll correct some of the errors of last years series.

Yeah, like not having Crimson beat Devon four times. :

It's really pretty simple. Just have everyone wrestle each other once and map out the points before it begins.

Either way, Storm's definitely winning.

 

[Castiel]

Great to hear the BFG series returning! I imagine it'll be much better this year tbh. No Joe losing streak, no Crimson winning streak, no underdog injured Roode since while great that was cheesy as hell. Storm seems like the obvious choice, Roode losing the strap to him at BFG has been long predicted and would be perfect really.

 

[Sabretooth]

I don't give a shit if Storm is winning. The BFG series is awesome

Here's the official preview for impact tonight.

ULTIMATE MOTHER FUCKING X.

Here's the official preview for impact tonight.

ULTIMATE MOTHER FUCKING X.

Why not do this at Slammiversary? Or instead of looking backwards, at Victory Road? You know, their all X PPV.

Will be fun either way tonight.

You meant Destination X, correct? :

But yeah, I was thinking to myself this would be much better suited for Destination X or even Slammiversary but I'm looking forward to it either way.

Sue me, Victory Road used to be their July PPV...

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I think it's a great way to start the road to Destination X, it'll definitely entertain everyone and give people who are still getting familiar with TNA to witness one of their specialized matches that you can't see in other companies.

 

[The Viper]

Sue me, Victory Road used to be their July PPV...

Yeah, sometimes this different PPV schedule that they debuted a couple of years ago screws me up a bit too.

 

[Castiel]

Ultimate X makes sense to me, it'll just be a taste of what people can see more of at Destination X (X). I'm sure if they have another at Destination X (which they very likely will) Aries won't be involved in that one. Also, I love the match so I'm all for them having one!

 

[NovaRoad]

I'm ready!

 

[Fuji Vice]

Ultimate X BABY!!!!

 

[Smart Marx]

Okay TNA is making it up to me with an amazing opening match.

When was the last time we kicks off impact with a great match or even a match?
