TNA to drop the name "TNA"? Trademarks "Impact Wrestling"

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that TNA is going to be pushing the name "Impact" much more in the coming weeks, as company officials are testing a possible dropping of the "TNA" name in favor of the name "Impact."

Dave Meltzer is reporting that there has been talk internally with Spike TV and TNA about a possible change to the companies name as well as a major re-branding in the product.

The top two names being discussed are Impact Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Impact.

The idea is that the TNA name is holding them back and also that a name change would allow them to tout that they are pro wrestling which would be the exact opposite of what WWE is currently doing.

There has been no word if any of this would mean a change in the actual on air product or not. We hope to have more information soon.
