TNA/Impact 'Branding' question?
for assorted reasons I've not been watching Impact for about 2 months or so... Last I saw they were down playing the use of the TNA initials, and had 'Impact' or 'Impact Wrestling' on all of their signage, turnbuckle pads and generic T shirts etc... Tonight I tuned into Lockdown and I'm seeing the TNA name on the Jumbo tron, ref shirts and If I recall named dropped in promos...
My Question (after all that)
1. have they given up on re-branding as Impact Wrestling"
2. and if so when?
3. or is there a specific reason why the TNA name is being re-used for this PPV?
I know that in Y!A and some discussion boards everyone kept using the TNA name regardless of the Company's desire... but that just seemed like a typing Cheat as teh 3 letters TNA are easier to type faster than than Impact Wrestling or even just Impact... so basically did they give up because of that or what
-- Sam: I KNOW why they went from TNA to Impact Wrestling in the past, I get that... People have been pushing for them to get away from TNA almost since they started as NWA: TNA in 2002
MY Questions is why is there so much TNA Signage at the PPV tonight... did they GIVE UP on re-branding or is there a reason for Lockdown to have 'throwback' signs

TJ whats up bro?
The TNA wrestling promotion first started out in 2002 back then, they were part of
the NWA the National Wrestling Alliance and soon after they, dropped the NWA's
version of their World Heavyweight Title and created their own belt the TNA World
Heavyweight Championship. TNA changed their name to Impact Wrestling back in
2011 they made a lot of changes that year including changing back to a traditional
four sided wrestling ring. Cause they'll always be Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling.

The company is still call TNA but the show is call Impact Wrestling. Just like WWE their show is call Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown. The company name TNA is still there, and the show is still call Impact Wrestling.
