Final Episodes of “Impact Wrestling” on Spike Announced

Last week, news broke TNA would be on its way to Destination America on a new broadcast deal for its signature show, “Impact Wrestling.” While the new channel will offer significantly less viewership opportunities than Spike did, it does ensure the company will stay afloat for the time being.

Tuesday, TNA issued a press release giving the final dates of airing for “Impact” on Spike, which also features a quote from TNA President Dixie Carter about her relationship with the network.
