TNA Rebrand Discussion Thread

[Kross Rhodes]

Good to know they were thinking about this all the way back in June. So this is something they’ve really thought about. It probably would’ve made more sense to do the announcement at the anniversary show but if they need to do the UK tour on the old branding then I guess that makes sense so we don’t have to sit for an additional six months waiting for the change. Plus I imagine with how stack the booking was on bound for glory. They knew this is when the most eyeballs we’re gonna be on the product for an announcement.

TNA is Immortal (not the stable)

Impact released the professionally shot version of the full D’Amore speech. I could listen this a million times.

I posted this in bfg but given this is here ima post this here too.


Scott D' Amore might be one of the most undervalued bookers/ceo whatever you want to call it in wrestling history.


#1 : This guy came into power in tna/impact at prob one of the lowest points in the companies history. One of which he may and probably should have faltered and failed after losing talent, after losing money, Covid etc this guy preserved. He doesn't go out of his way to try and act like the #1 company go out and try to wage a war. He sticks to his guns, he goes out and isn't afraid to deep his toes here and there. He created himself a little world and captured lightning in the bottle. He did it all while keeping true to the fans and the company. It's a business model that companies like MLW, NWA, GCW (to an extent) should model themselves after.

#2: The passion of that promo he gave at bfg bout tna coming back Jesus christ. That's a oh captain my captain type. That dude has the troops rally and ready to battle. He's like a modern day Paul Heyman but, better with money.

#3 I wonder if he returns with 6 sided ring? I wonder if he goes out to and does the double entrance ramps.

Anyway God bless Scott, for really just being himself.

So... guess we're Tits N Ass again

Nice

Can't say I'm too upset about this.

I can already imagine how the social media discussion looks like.

Six sided ring was a gimmick though and not a great one

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I feel like the 6-sided ring were almost universally disliked by the wrestlers because it was just less space to actually do cool shit.

I am in between. I do think the six sided ring was vastly important for TNA originally.

I also have to disagree with sky here as I do think it was great.

I also don’t think you can yo-yo too much right now. Going back to the TNA name after six years is one thing, but they’ve already brought back the six sides like three times. At this point, I say, let it die.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

it was cool then but I do think it is pointless to bring it back, you don't want to have every talent have to get used to is in the middle of a transition where they need to look at their best. also with all the indie and international they borrow might lead to more injuries. I think the novelty is gone and it's best to leave it in the past
