âTNA iMPACT!â ON SPIKE TV MOVES TO MONDAY NIGHTS BEGINNING MARCH 8
Total Nonstop Action Wrestlingâs Flagship Series Will Air Live Every Other Week From
Universal Studios In Orlando, Fl.
New York, NY, February 16, 2010 â âTNA iMPACT!,â Spike TVâs highly-rated two-hour weekly series, is moving from Thursday nights to Monday nights beginning Monday, March 8 (9:00-11:00pm ET/PT), it was announced today by TNA President Dixie Carter and legendary pop culture icon Hulk Hogan at a press conference at the âTNA iMPACT! Zoneâ at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
âTNA iMPACT!â will air live on March 8, with subsequent telecasts live every other week. The series features many of the biggest names in wrestling including Hogan, Ric Flair, Mick Foley and Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, as well as the hottest young talent in the industry: TNA World Heavyweight Champion âThe Phenomenalâ AJ Styles, âThe Samoan Submission Machineâ Samoa Joe and âThe Blueprintâ Matt Morgan.
The first ever Monday live âTNA iMPACTâ broadcast on Spike TV, ran as a three-hour special head-to-head against WWE RAW on Monday, January 4, 2010, and drew a franchise-record 2.2 million viewers. Two wrestling companies have not broadcast head-to-head weekly since the âMonday Night Warsâ in the late 1990âs between WWE and WCW.
âOn January 4 wrestling fans showed us theyâre ready for a new professional wrestling alternative on Monday nights, and weâre answering that call. Bringing âiMPACT!â to Mondays is our most exciting move yet in a year thatâs already been filled with huge milestones for TNAâ said Carter.
"Monday nights are now officially the best night of the week to be a fan of professional wrestling," Hogan said. "My mantra has been 'change is coming' since partnering with Dixie Carter and TNA Wrestling. This change is great for the business and all fans of professional wrestling will benefit because of it."
"TNA iMPACT! has emerged as one of cable's top performers with young men, said Spike TV President Kevin Kay. "With NFL Football off the television schedule and with "TNA iMPACTâs" expanding roster of top wrestling talent, we see this as an opportunity to tap into the millions of wrestling fans on Monday nights."
Since its founding in 2002, Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling has become the worldâs fastest growing professional wrestling company, currently airing in over 120 countries worldwide.
