After 27 months and PPVs, TNA felt that they had enough of a fanbase to begin holding a weekly television show and monthly three-hour pay-per-views. The last weekly PPV was held on September 8, However, Xplosion resumed airing exclusive matches billed as "Xplosion Xclusives" once more on October 7 , in addition to recapping Impact!
Impact Wrestling is the current flagship show for Impact Wrestling. The first episode took place March 8, The second season began on Thursday, January 14, On April 12, , TNA Wrestling aired a pilot episode of their new show TNA Reaction , which is a documentary-style show that presents an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the stars of TNA speaking about taking on their rivals.
At the same time the company also announced that Spike had picked up Reaction , which would start airing weekly prior to each episode of Impact! The premiere date for Reaction was later changed to July 15, when it would start airing after Impact!
However, in late June Reaction was pulled from Spike's schedule. Also in June, TNA revamped Xplosion , still airing on international markets, making it more of an original program instead of a highlight show.
TNA Impact! TNA is involved with the taping since they purchased the trademark and the domain name for the property. No word yet on what talents will be involved or how the concept of the series will merge racing and wrestling. Impact Wrestling currently airs content all day every day on their Twitch. It gives users access to all past events, pay per views and Impact Wrestling episodes while also airing live events.
The first inductee was revealed to be Sting on June 10 at Slammiversary. Sting's official induction ceremony took place at Bound For Glory.

In , it returned to using a four-sided ring. Since its origin, Impact Wrestling has featured a high-flying, high risk style of wrestling called its X Division. Rather than emphasizing the fact that most wrestlers who perform this style are under lb kg by calling it a cruiserweight division, Impact 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 or its title, though in practice, most of the wrestlers in this division have been cruiserweights, with Samoa Joe, billed at pounds, and Kurt Angle, billed at pounds, being notable exceptions.
To further emphasize this point, the slogan "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits" is used to describe the division. Although it was de-emphasized throughout , the X Division is generally regarded as one of the key attractions of Impact Wrestling and was replicated in several independent promotions. On April 26, , Eric Bischoff appeared on Impact!
According to Bischoff, the system combines several factors to determine the 1 contender for the TNA Heavyweight Championship. It was also announced that a "TNA Championship Committee" had been set up to make the final decision based on these factors.
The first round of voting ended on May 3 and was won by Desmond Wolfe, who received his title shot that night on Impact! The second round started that same night. The first Top 10 ranking was revealed on May 20, with Sting claiming the number one spot. Anderson were tied for the top three spots.

At times, the position of booker has been coterminous with the on-screen position of Director of Authority. When TNA first launched, it billed the on-air authority figure as a representative appointed by the National Wrestling Alliance.
It did this for storyline purposes only, however, and the actual "representatives" already worked in some capacity for TNA. The NWA Championship Committee, established in , comprised a group of wrestling veterans who acted as arbitrators, determining a winner in the event of a time-limit draw. After Race and Piper left TNA, the Committee essentially ceased to exist as a physical on-screen body, although Zbyszko continued to be referred to as a member of the committee while simultaneously acting as on-screen authority figure, booking matches and giving title shots.
Impact Wrestling wrestlers are forbidden by contract from working for WWE, but are free to work for any other independent wrestling promotion, domestic or international. Many Impact Wrestling wrestlers perform regularly for various promotions on the independent circuit in addition to Impact Wrestling's weekly shows. The majority of Impact Wrestling wrestlers are paid on a per appearance basis.
