History

Weekly pay-per-views

The original TNA business model was different from that employed by WWE in several key ways. By not touring like other major federations have done, TNA was able to keep costs down.

While most major promotions have aired monthly PPVs, not having a weekly network, a syndicated, or cable show from the outset was a radical departure from the norm. The weekly TNA PPVs were priced at $9.95 USD per week, much less than the monthly WWE PPVs, which were $34.95 at the time. The weekly events were also transmitted free—albeit with a six-month delay—on The Wrestling Channel starting March 2004, this being the company's first foray into the international market.

Initial estimates by TNA showed that about 50,000 PPV buys would be needed each week for TNA to break even. Actual buys, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, ranged from anywhere between 5,000-15,000 on a weekly basis. After 111 weeks, TNA ceased their weekly PPVs on September 8, 2004. On Sunday, November 7, 2004, TNA Wrestling held its first three hour PPV, TNA Victory Road 2004, with buys for the PPV estimated to be in the low 10,000s.

iMPACT!

TNA began airing TNA iMPACT! on June 4, 2004 on Fox Sports Net. iMPACT! was taped on Thursdays (and later Tuesdays) in Soundstage 21 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and then broadcast between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Fridays on FSN in most markets (iMPACT! was also syndicated throughout Europe and Asia).

On May 27, 2005, TNA aired its final episode of iMPACT! on Fox Sports Net. iMPACT! averaged a 0.2 household rating over the course of its existence. This left TNA with no television deal other than the monthly PPVs, so on July 1 TNA turned to streaming iMPACT! from their official website and offering downloading through BitTorrent. At the same time, TNA began seeking a more profitable television outlet. On July 21, TNA announced that they had secured a deal with Spike TV to air iMPACT! as part of Spike TV's "Slammin' Saturday Night" block, beginning in the autumn of 2005.

From September 27, 2005 until March 28, 2006, TNA taped two episodes of iMPACT! every second Tuesday, with the first episode airing on October 1, 2005. Unlike the Fox Sports deal, TNA is not paying for the time slot; instead, Spike TV controls advertising revenue. Until March 2006, the primary sponsor of TNA was the health drink manufacturer Morphoplex, which paid TNA $200,000 USD per month.

On February 6, 2006, Spike TV announced that iMPACT! would be upgraded to a weeknight primetime slot Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET, starting on April 13, 2006. However, iMPACT! would instead be moved to 11 p.m. ET Thursdays. Encore broadcasts would be moved to Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET. As a result, episodes were taped every second Monday starting on April 10, 2006.

Booking committee

Episodes of iMPACT! and pay-per-views are booked by a committee headed by Vince Russo and containing Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantell. As President and Vice President of TNA Entertainment respectively, Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett hold veto power over any decision. Prior to the creation of the committee, booking power was typically vested in the hands of a small number of people. Jeff and Jerry Jarrett were initially responsible for booking, followed by Russo, and then by Dusty Rhodes.

X Division

Main article: X Division

The high-flying, high risk style of wrestling had been one of the key reasons that viewers tuned in to WCW and ECW. Rather than emphasizing the fact that most wrestlers who perform this style are under 220 lb (100 kg) by calling it a cruiserweight division, TNA Wrestling decided to emphasize the high risk nature of the moves that these wrestlers perform (there is no upper weight limit on the X Division title, though in practice most of the champions have been cruiserweights). To further emphasize this point, the slogan "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits", coined by TNA commentator Mike Tenay during the company's first broadcast, is used to describe the division. Although it was de-emphasized throughout 2004, the X Division is generally regarded as one of the key attractions of TNA and was replicated in several independent promotions. It was featured in the October 4, 2005 DVD release The Best of the X Division, Volume 1.

The World X Cup Tournament is an international tournament consisting of four teams of four X-Division superstars competing for the World X Cup trophy and worldwide X-Division dominance. Points are awarded to each team based on match victories, but formats and point levels change from year to year.

The inaugural event, the 2004 World X Cup, featured Team USA defeating Team Canada, Team Mexico, and Team Japan to win the tournament. After skipping a year in 2005, it was revived in 2006. The 2006 World X Cup saw Team Canada and Team USA tie for first place at TNA Sacrifice 2006, prompting a sudden death final on the next TNA iMPACT! in which Chris Sabin defeated Petey Williams to win the World X Cup for Team USA once more.

Current champions

TNA recognizes the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Championship as their top titles. Traditionally, NWA world champions regularly defended their titles against local contenders in the various NWA territories. This has rarely been the case since TNA began using the titles in 2002, but TNA has leased the titles from the NWA until 2014, removing these obligations from the champion. The X Division Championship is the only championship created and owned exclusively by TNA. Wrestlers who win all three titles are said to have won the TNA Triple Crown. In professional wrestling, a Triple Crown Champion is a term describing a wrestler who has won the three most prestigious belts of their promotion - typically a heavyweight belt, a tag team belt, and a second-tier belt. ...
