TNA Considered Changing Its Name?
While there are some people that have felt the TNA (Total Nonstop Action) name should be changed, Dixie Carter is said to be fully behind the current name and brand.
According to Dave Meltzer, it was Vince Russo who originally came up with the TNA name when the company wanted to be as risque as possible.
The idea of using a different name has been discussed since the time when Impact first debuted on Spike, but by that point it was decided that the brand name was already too established to be changed.
