  • TNA President Carlos Silva On Pulling Talent From Matches: “They (AEW) Tried To Block Us In Arenas And Venues”

    TNA President Carlos Silva On Pulling Talent From Matches: “They (AEW) Tried To Block Us In Arenas And Venues”

    A few weeks ago, news came out that TNA President Carlos Silva had pulled a few of his contracted talent from their originally-planned upcoming matches due to “partner conflicts.”

    While speculation to why happened ran rampant – especially after the matches and finishes were already agreed to – while speaking with Busted Open host Dave LaGreca, Carlos Silva addressed pulling TNA talent from matches with AEW talent:

    “It was super tough, and look, all these business decisions are tough. I don’t like being called a little b*tch on social any more than anyone does. But it’s okay, you do take the goods with the bads, and you gotta make some hard decisions. My job sometimes is to make hard decisions. And for the fans and for all of you, our locker room, we’re gonna make decisions that are good for TNA. And we gotta protect TNA. As Kevin Plank and Under Armour used to say, you gotta protect this house, and it’s a real slogan.

    We’ve had some other folks come at us and they’ve moved into our nights, they’ve made some decisions, they’ve tried to block us in arenas and venues. That stuff’s real and it’s out there, and it’s okay because everyone’s gotta make the decisions for their business, but we’re also just not gonna lie down and not make decisions that are good for our business. And unfortunately sometimes, those decisions are tough.

    We’re very thoughtful about them, and we try to do the best to make good when we have to make those decisions. And in the case of Nic and Leon and a few of the matches that had to get shut down, we tried to make good and make calls and take care of the business as best as we could.

    It was my decision. I take full ownership. I’ve got a great team and we talk about these things together, but sometimes, I’m the guy that has to make that decision and then you move on. You go to work the next day and you work hard again and get stuff done.”

    H/T @WrestlePurists for transcription.

    One of the matches in question would’ve seen current TNA X Division champion Leon Slater defeat former AEW National champion and former WWE star Ricochet as part of the WrestleCon show.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Mickie James Talks TNA’s Move to AMC: “So Many More Eyeballs” on the Product

    EXCLUSIVE: Mickie James Talks TNA’s Move to AMC: “So Many More Eyeballs” on the Product

    TNA Wrestling’s continued evolution into a more visible and widely accessible brand has not gone unnoticed by one of its most accomplished stars. Knockouts legend Mickie James recently spoke about the company’s move to AMC, emphasizing the significance of the platform shift and what it means for the promotion’s future.

    While attending Astronomicon 9, Bodyslam.net’s Kyle Collison asked James about TNA’s growing presence and what it means for a company with a long history across multiple networks to now land on a mainstream channel like AMC.

    James, who has seen TNA through multiple eras, from its Spike TV heyday to its rebuilding years, offered a grounded but optimistic perspective on the transition.

    “I’ve seen TNA through so many waves of different networks and all the things in the Spike TV and that,” James said. “But to be now on AMC… the amount of eyeballs that can be on it—TNA has a wonderful product.”

    James pointed to the strength of the current roster as a key reason why the expanded exposure could be a turning point.

    “They have a strong division. They have some amazing superstars. They have some amazing Knockouts—the division is strong creatively. It’s just such a great show.”

    With AMC offering a broader audience reach, James believes the potential upside is significant not just for TNA as a brand, but for the performers themselves.

    “But now on AMC, you know, there’s going to be so many more eyeballs on it.”

    The added visibility also opens the door for crossover opportunities, something James highlighted as an exciting byproduct of the partnership.

    “You’ve seen with the collaboration with the network and having some stars from other shows, from other genres kind of crossover and come to a wrestling show and kind of be there and hang out.” 

    And in classic Mickie James fashion, she even teased a potential celebrity crossover she’d like to see happen.

    “Yeah… Jelly Roll. Still waiting for that collab.” 

    TNA’s move to AMC represents another step in the company’s ongoing resurgence, pairing an already solid in-ring product with the potential for increased mainstream exposure. If James’ assessment holds true, the Knockouts division, and TNA as a whole, may be poised to reach its largest audience in years.

    You can check out the entire interview with Mickie James below.

  • TNA World Champion Mike Santana Touts Viewership On AMC and Locker Room

    TNA World Champion Mike Santana Touts Viewership On AMC and Locker Room

    TNA debuted on their new home in the United States – AMC Network – for the flagship Thursday Night iMPACT! show back on January 15th. The show airs at 9-11pm ET every Thursday Night on AMC and streaming on both TNA + and AMC + apps.

    While speaking with Denise Salcedo on a recent episode of Busted Open After Dark, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Mike Santana, he shared his thoughts on the AMC network and the growth they’ve shown so far.

    “I think it’s been going great, like the numbers have been going up and they’ve been consistent, so that’s always a good thing, right? And I think everyone has maintained that mindset of we want to do everything that we can to continue elevating the brand and elevating the show. And I think the beauty of our locker room is that everyone has that. Everyone is focused, everyone has their own personal goals. Everyone has their own personal agendas. That’s the nature of it, right? But overall, everyone is doing what they need to do for the betterment of the brand.”

    While he admitted that things are going great in TNA in the AMC era, he feels that there’s more scope for growth. He believes that TNA is primed to rise and grow with the momentum it has gained since moving to AMC.

    “Not everything is perfect. There’s going to be holes and things. But for where we’re at right now and what we’re doing and the consistency that we’re seeing with the numbers, I think we’re in a good space, and it’s up to us to continue that.”

    Mike Santana defeated Frankie Kazarian on the debut of TNA on AMC to close out the January 15th premiere episode to become a two-time TNA World Champion. Santana has held the title ever since, including a successful defense this past Saturday Night against Eddi Edwards at the Rebellion PPV. After beating Eddie, Mike will be on tonights episode of Thursday Night iMPACT! to address everybody else who’s coming after him.

    TNA is settling into the network at an average viewership of around 250,000 each week on the network, and a 0.05 in the main 18-49 demographic.

    You can keep track of TNA viewership here.
