## Synopsis

TNA iMPACT (2004-present) is an American scripted sports entertainment series created by Jeffrey Jarrett and Jerry Jarrett for Spike, later carried by AMC, AXS TV and other networks. Its weekly broadcast of professional wrestling mixes traditional grappling with high-flying athleticism and cutting edge action, presenting a roster that includes established names and newer stars. Cast members appearing across its many seasons include Kurt Angle, Tom Laughlin as Tommy Dreamer, and Héctor Guerrero, whose matches and on-screen feuds drive each hour. The engine of the show is rivalry: wrestlers pursue titles and personal grudges, and each episode builds toward the next confrontation. It runs as a continuing weekly program with more than twenty seasons and over a thousand episodes, so storylines carry from one broadcast to the next. Its tone is brash, energetic and crowd-driven, with theatrical promos balancing physical spectacle. Fans of WWE Raw, WWE SmackDown and AEW Dynamite will find the same live sports entertainment rhythm, with weekly feuds and athletic showmanship at the center.
