TNA+ is aprofessional wrestlingvideo streaming service that launched on May 1, 2019. It is owned and operated byAnthem Sports & Entertainment, the parent company ofprofessional wrestling promotionTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
Originally known asImpact Plus, and succeeding the previousGlobal Wrestling Network (GWN) service, TNA+ offers library content and exclusivelive monthly premium events.[1] Since its 2024 relaunch as TNA+, the platform has utilized the technology and ecosystem ofEndeavor Streaming.
The firststreaming media service to offerTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) content on-demand was the TNA Video Vault, which launched in 2009.[2] The service changed its name to 'TNA On Demand' in 2010 and continued until its shuttering around early 2013.[citation needed]
The company previously operated the "TNA Wrestling Plus"YouTube channel, where users could rent pay-per-views and documentaries previously released on DVD.[3]
In early 2017, current parent companyAnthem Sports & Entertainment (which acquired and rebranded the promotion as Impact Wrestling that same year) launched "Total Access TNA" (later known asTotal Access Impact) in theUnited Kingdom after broadcasterChallenge's contract had expired.[4]
On October 10, 2017, the promotion launched theGlobal Wrestling Network (GWN). The streaming service featured 1,000 hours of content from the TNA / Impact Wrestling library, as well as content from the siblingFight Network, Canadian promotionBorder City Wrestling, andWrestling at the Chase among others.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
On August 14, 2018Jeff Jarrett and his company, Global Force Entertainment, announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Anthem in theDistrict Court of Tennessee for copyright infringement over the rights. Jarrett owned all properties related toGlobal Force Wrestling (GFW) since its creation in 2014; in-spite of GFW's brief merger with, and subsequent rebrand of, Impact Wrestling as GFW in 2017. Had the lawsuit by Jarrett been successful, Impact would need to immediately suspend the operations of GWN.[12][13]
On April 28, 2019, during itsRebellion pay-per-view, Impact Wrestling announced the launch of Impact Plus, a brand new streaming service which would replace the Global Wrestling Network.[14]
