TNA iMPACT! is the weekly flagship television show of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and first premiered in 2004. The program played a major role in establishing TNA as a serious alternative to WWE within the American wrestling market. iMPACT! featured major stars such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Sting, and Jeff Hardy and became especially known for the X-Division and the six-sided ring design. The show combined traditional wrestling storylines with a stronger focus on athletic matches and innovative match concepts. Over the years, the format went through several network changes, presentation shifts, and rebrandings, but it remained the centerpiece of the promotion. Today, TNA iMPACT! is considered one of the most recognizable wrestling television programs outside of WWE.
