Nanae Takahashi lost to Sareee this morning at Marigold Winter Wonderful Fight and announced she is retiring in May, one year after the launch of Marigold.

Sareee vs. Utami set for First Dream on January 3.

TNA really can't help themselves.

Tessa Blanchard?

Tessa Blanchard?

Take your pick:

- Tessa Blanchard
- bringing in the Hardy Boys and making them tag team champs
- putting A.J. Francis in the main event of their last PPV

This might not be a negative but seems Indi Hartwell's been hinting that she might go to TNA.

I assume Tessa is there because Grace has two feet out the door

 

[CDJ]

JBL is a huge Speedball Bailey guy, didn’t see that coming

 

[Emperoreddy]

TNA needed to bring someone in that no one would ever poach. Mission accomplished.

Jordynne Grace is apparently refusing to work with Tessa. She will definitely head to WWE after her contract expires, according to Meltzer.

 

[GKJ]

Would’ve bet anything that she was leaving anyways.

Don't watch current day wrestling much anymore but I signed up for TNA's online service for the archives, started watching from 05 on & man there is some incredible matches. Final Resolution 05 in particular was awesome so far.

Just finished Styles vs Jarrett World Title match from 05 Hard Justice. Great match, great storytelling. Hadn't seen this one before & I popped as a big Styles fan.

If anyone is looking to checkout some old stuff I'd recommend Final Resolution 05, Lockdown 05, & this match. TNA was fun then.

Something different & entertaining.

If anyone wants to give any feedback (couple slight audio issues in the first minute, but they stop quickly).....

 

[the valiant effort]

Sportsnet is going all in on TNA content for its post-WWE era. I might have to set ‘TNA Classics’ to record

They sure are - right now they're airing the Hard to Kill 2024 PPV. So far I've seen TNA Classics, TNA in 60, TNA Xplosion and TNA iMPACT! show up on SN 360's upcoming schedule. With Sportsnet adding TNA to their line-up it has affected the TNA coverage on other Canadian TV channels:

The Fight Network - still airs TNA iMPACT ( but no longer live on Thursdays ), old episodes of Impact on Spike, Impact in 60 and TNA in 60
Game + TV - will still be airing TNA iMPACT! ( but not the live show on Thursdays )
Game TV - no longer has any TNA programming

Utami Hayashishita is the Marigold World Champion defeating Sareee at Marigold First Dream.



In fact, all four titles have changed hands. All three singles are now ex-Stardom
