== Television and touring schedule == === Weekly pay-per-views (2002–2004) === From June 2002 until September 2004, the promotion's original weekly pay-per-view shows took place mostly at the [[Tennessee State Fairground Sports Arena]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], nicknamed the "TNA Asylum". There were a total of 111 weekly pay-per-views.

=== ''Impact!'' and ''Xplosion'' in Universal Studios (2004–2013) === {{Main|Impact Zone|TNA Impact!|l2 = ''TNA Impact!''|TNA Xplosion|l3 = ''TNA Xplosion''|Before the Impact|l4 = ''Before the Impact''}}

From June 2004 to March 2013, TNA programming was taped at [[Universal Studios Florida]]'s Soundstage 21 in [[Orlando, Florida]]. The Soundstages at Universal were dubbed the "Impact Zone" by the company. Pay-per-views were also broadcast from that location until October 2006, when [[Bound for Glory (2006)|Bound for Glory]] emanated from the [[Compuware Arena]] in [[Plymouth, Michigan]] and was booked by the Detroit-based [[horrorcore]] [[hip-hop]] duo, the [[Insane Clown Posse]]. Initially, TNA worked with [[Hermie Sadler]]'s United Wrestling Federation in 2005 to create house shows. TNA permitted the usage of the ring and for championships to be defended at these events. TNA started running independent [[house show]]s on March 17, 2006.<ref name="Pro-Wrestling News Direct">{{cite web|url=http://prowrestlingnewsdirect.com/archives/tna-announces-first-ever-house-show/|title=TNA Announces First Ever House Show|access-date=March 20, 2007|date=January 17, 2006|publisher=Pro-Wrestling News Direct|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070903010247/http://prowrestlingnewsdirect.com/archives/tna-announces-first-ever-house-show/|archive-date=September 3, 2007}}</ref>

TNA continued to work with United Wrestling Federation and promote independent shows at the same time, until 2007. In 2007, TNA first toured Europe, hosting two shows at [[Porto]] and [[Lisbon]] in Portugal with APW Wrestling. In 2008, TNA wrestlers appeared at [[Wrestle Kingdom II]] in Japan. Later on in 2008, TNA conducted its first tour of England, with most shows selling out. The promotion first toured Germany, Scotland and Ireland in 2009, France, Wales and the United Arab Emirates in 2010 and Belgium in 2012. In August 2007, live-events coordinator Craig Jenkins stated that TNA intended to stage eight pay-per-views and 96 house shows outside Orlando, Florida, in 2008.<ref name="Marvez" /> In 2009, during their United Kingdom tour, a [[house show]] at [[Wembley Arena]] in [[London]] broke TNA's attendance records. On July 2, 2010, [[MCU Park]] hosted a live TNA house show, which also broke the TNA domestic attendance record at the time and is currently the most attended live TNA house show in the United States, with a capacity crowd of 5,550.<ref name="wrestleview.com" />

=== X Division === {{Main|X Division}}

[[File:Ultimate X.jpg|thumb|High-flying, high risk moves are a centerpiece of the [[X Division]].]] The X Division is known for its high-flying, high-risk style matches. While most wrestlers who perform are under {{convert|220|lb|kg|abbr=on}}, thus being cruiserweights, Impact would emphasize the high-risk nature of the moves that these wrestlers perform by removing all restraints from competing in the X Division and allowing wrestlers to perform almost [[stunt]]-like moves. Because of this, wrestlers such as Samoa Joe, billed at {{convert|280|lb|kg|abbr=on}}, Kurt Angle, billed at {{convert|230|lb|kg|abbr=on}}, and Abyss, billed at {{convert|350|lb|kg|abbr=on}}, have also competed in the division.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} The slogan "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits" has been used throughout the years to describe the division.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://canoe.com/category/sports/|title=Canoe.Com|website=canoe|access-date=February 5, 2023|archive-date=July 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170722234231/http://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingFeatures/tenay_21mar00.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In August 2011, a {{convert|225|lb|kg|abbr=on}} weight limit was introduced,<ref>{{cite video|people=TNA Wrestling|date=August 11, 2011|title=Eric Bishoff Imposes New Rules on the X Division|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veLkO90LH0Q |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/veLkO90LH0Q| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|publisher=TNAWrestling at Youtube.com|access-date=August 13, 2011}}{{cbignore}}</ref> though it was quietly repealed in March 2012.

== Partnerships == In early 2006, the promotion began a collaboration with [[Hermie Sadler]]'s United Wrestling Federation. The agreement permitted UWF to use the TNA logo on posters and signage, as well as to use the six-sided ring with TNA branding. These shows were mainly promoted as 'UWF/TNA' events. The TNA name agreement ended at the end of 2006, as TNA began to promote their own house show events, though UWF still used a six-sided ring.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&sort=liga&kategorie=2&liga=438&ansicht=&jahr=2006|title=Wrestlingdata.com – The World's Largest Wrestling Database|website=www.wrestlingdata.com|access-date=January 27, 2020|archive-date=March 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200329101155/https://www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&sort=liga&kategorie=2&liga=438&ansicht=&jahr=2006|url-status=live}}</ref> These events were recorded and released on DVD by Highsports.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://wwfoldschool.com/wp-content/gallery/tna-dvd-covers/17c.jpg |title=DVD by Highsports |access-date=January 27, 2020 |archive-date=April 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427162354/https://wwfoldschool.com/wp-content/gallery/tna-dvd-covers/17c.jpg |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Pro-Wrestling News Direct"/> They would continue to work with United Wrestling Federation and promote independent shows at the same time until 2007. TNA has worked with several wrestling promotions, with championships from those promotions sometimes having been defended at TNA events.

The initial relationship with NJPW lasted from 2008 to 2011. Then-known as TNA, the promotion would send wrestlers to participate in NJPW's annual [[January 4 Dome Show|Wrestle Kingdom]] events, as well as NJPW sending future IWGP Heavyweight Champion [[Kazuchika Okada]] on a training excursion to TNA. The relationship would be strained, when IWGP Tag Team Champions [[The Dudley Boyz|Team 3D]] were held off of a New Japan tour in favor of appearing on ''Impact Wrestling'' tapings and Okada was given the [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)|gimmick]] of "Okato", where he dressed similar to [[The Green Hornet]]'s sidekick [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/article/94917/tna-news-and-notes.html?p=1|title=TNA NEWS AND NOTES – PWInsider.com|work=pwinsider.com|access-date=July 6, 2015|archive-date=July 11, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150711005549/http://www.pwinsider.com/article/94917/tna-news-and-notes.html?p=1|url-status=live}}</ref> a decision Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore has since apologized for on behalf of the previous regime.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Johnson|first1=Mike|title=LOTS OF IMPACT WRESTLING UPDATES HEADING INTO BOUND FOR GLORY|url=https://www.pwinsider.com/article/113261/lots-of-impact-wrestling-updates-heading-into-bound-for-glory.html?p=1|website=pwinsider.com|publisher=PW Insider|access-date=April 22, 2018|archive-date=April 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180422202931/https://www.pwinsider.com/article/113261/lots-of-impact-wrestling-updates-heading-into-bound-for-glory.html?p=1|url-status=live}}</ref> In February 2021, Impact would re-establish its relationship with NJPW, with NJPW later forgiving the incidents that happened under the previous regime.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Johnson|first1=Mike|title=NEW JAPAN STARS HEADING TO IMPACT WRESTLING, FULL DETAILS|url=https://www.pwinsider.com/article/143943/new-japan-stars-heading-to-impact-wrestling-full-details.html?p=1|website=pwinsider.com|publisher=PW Insider|access-date=February 13, 2021}}</ref> This partnership would last until December 2024, when NJPW's contract to air on TNA's co-owned TV home [[AXS TV]] expired, and was not renewed.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Harris |first1=Jeffery |title=NJPW on AXS TV Reportedly Ending, Contract Expired |url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/njpw-axs-tv-reportedly-ending-contract-expired/ |website=411 Mania |access-date=December 31, 2024}}</ref>
