TNA officials are said to be extremely happy with the new Destination America TV deal. The feeling within TNA is now that the TV deal is done, they can begin working on new talent deals, creative plans for next year and more internal changes, which John Gaburick has been working on.

One of the selling points of Destination America for TNA was that TNA will be an important cornerstone for the network. The deal opens up the possibility for more TNA programming. During negotiations Dixie Carter made it clear that she didn’t want just another 2 hours of Impact Wrestling.

TNA has a hold on the Manhattan Center in New York City for the week of January 6th but they may decide to tape in December and let those holds go. If they tape in December it may be in Michigan. TNA is working out details right now before making a decision whether to tape in December or January.

TNA plans are for a complete reboot of the look and feel of Impact Wrestling from the bottom up when it debuts in January. An official launch date is still being locked in but it could air on Tuesday or Wednesday.
