It also means the day when all the TNA titles are back in the TNA wrestlers&#8217; hands. The Angel Warrior is now a 2-time TNA Knockouts World Champion. The episode was good, but disturbing. I loved Eric Young&#8217;s maliciousness and L\u00e9i Ying Lee&#8217;s well-deserved win. Then, the System remains the System, cheating for gold. Elayna Black and Mike Santana&#8217;s segments weren&#8217;t thrilling. Now, what&#8217;s next? The live episode in Sacramento next week will probably help clear the air.<\/p>\n<p>With no PLE till TNA Slammiversary, TNA Wrestling will tiptoe its way to it. Then, it will give more attractiveness to the weekly show. You have to be there every week to understand what the company is cooking, to watch great action in the ring, to dig deep into the company&#8217;s soul. The AMC era is really something fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all for the TNA Thursday Night iMPACT review of the week. If you want a dishonestly honest Nygma point of view, you\u2019ll always find it here. The show known as &#8220;TNA iMPACT&#8221; was renamed &#8220;TNA Thursday Night iMPACT.&#8221; Whatever, iMPACT is and remains TNA Wrestling&#8217;s flagship weekly show.
