!!History
NWA : TNA's original business model was concentric on offering low-priced, weekly pay-per-view events broadcasting out of "The Asylum", the nickname for the Tennessee State Fairground Sports Arena located in Nashville, which was the Jarretts' stomping grounds. Unfortunately, they were unable to attract enough regular buyers to turn a profit, and eventually they was bought out by a power-plant company called Panda Energy. With the considerable financial backing of their new owners, TNA would slowly cut ties from the NWA, changing their name to "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling" (TNA) in 2004, and creating their own championship titles after their agreement to use the NWA's titles came to an end in May 2007. In October 2002, TNA launched their first television series called ''Xplosion!'', which was used to promote the weekly [=PPVs=].
In May 2004, TNA got a new TV deal with Creator/{{Fox}} [=SportsNet=] and began to take on a contemporary business model. TNA's new flagship program, ''iMPACT!'' (later known as ''Impact Wrestling'' from 2011 to 2017), premiered in June 2004, and the company would eventually adopt monthly pay-per-views. When the Fox deal expired in May of 2005, ''Impact'' became a WebOriginal for a few months until Creator/SpikeTV picked up the series in October. This new deal with Spike was lucrative enough for TNA to finally make a profit thanks to television licensing fees. For nine years (2004-2013), TNA taped its programing at the "Impact Zone", a soundstage at Ride/UniversalStudios Florida, while occasionally hosting [=PPVs=] and other events across the U.S and other countries.
While "Impact Zone"'s static location maximized production values at minimum cost, TNA could not make money from entry tickets because it was classified as a theme park attraction. Beginning in March 2013, TNA attempted to permanently leave Universal Studios and tape ''Impact!'' on the road, but they could not sell enough tickets to cover the travel costs. Not only would TNA be forced to return to the Impact Zone, the company would also make drastic cutbacks in almost every area of business. Spike would continue to air TNA programming until the end of 2014.

TNA's original business model
In May 2004, TNA got a new TV deal with Creator/{{Fox}} [=SportsNet=] and began to take on a contemporary business model. TNA's new flagship program, ''iMPACT!''
!! Impact Zone Era
While "Impact Zone"'s static location maximized production values at minimum cost, TNA could not make money from entry tickets because it was classified as a theme park attraction. That ultimately did little to dissuade TNA, as while the booking could be a bit mercurial, it quickly began to distinguish itself on Spike by both snapping up established talent from WCW and ECW, such as Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner, but also talents that were either on their way out from the WWE or looking for their big break on TV from ROH; such as Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles. Supplementing all of this was the "X-Division", an openweight division largely known for it's high work-rate and excellent opening matches on PPVs; showcasing smaller, cruiserweight talent in a way that had previously only been done in WCW. Things were progressing smoothly for TNA, though never entirely free from controversy or haphazard decisionmaking, it produced a competent alternative to the Fed's content that fans fell in love with.
And then, in October of 2009, President Dixie Carter announced that TNA had signed up with Wrestling/EricBischoff and Wrestling/HulkHogan.
!!Hogan Era
Hogan and Bischoff were hired primarily to be creative consultants, but that also meant they mostly had the ability to do what they wanted, which was felt right away. Their tenure featured a litany of very unpopular changes throughout 2010; less focus on the talents that had come to define TNA and more on friends of Bischoff and Hogan, the loss of the beloved six-sided ring, nonsensical invasion angles, and an increased dependence on purely ex-WWE talent to attempt to draw crowds, all wrapped up in a disastrous attempted switch to being promoted live opposite to Monday Night RAW, which crushed it soundly through every week, before they returned to Thursday nights without any fanfare. This would coincide with a series of negative business decisions that all but ensured TNA's gains were for naught; they would never again see the kind of highs they had seen in the late 00's.
Beginning in March 2013, TNA attempted to permanently leave Universal Studios and tape ''Impact!'' on the road, but they could not sell enough tickets to cover the travel costs.
