History
Before being the Total Nonstop Action, it was known as two promotions, American Wrestling Alliance and Global Wrestling Alliance from June 6, 2006 to May 19, 2008. It was operated by both National Wrestling Alliance and Maximillion Pegasus Omnimedia Incorporated during this time frame and was promoted throughout the eastern United States seaboard. Total Nonstop Action gained the Global Wrestling Alliance's titles.
Starting on May 20, 2008, Christian Championship Wrestling merged, once again, American Wrestling Alliance and Global Wrestling Alliance together to make Total Nonstop Action. With this merger, TNA will carry on the Global Wrestling Alliance's wrestling titles. Wrestlers from both, American Wrestling Alliance and Global Wrestling Alliance, will compete in one brand entitled Impact. Don Giovanni and Clark Giovanni, who are the masterminds of creating TNA, will be the co-General Managers of the brand. On June 5, 2008, TNA announced that they were given the rights to air their matches on TNT as the 3rd brand of Christian Championship Wrestling which will start airing following day. The show will be an hour long show with a six sided wrestling ring alongside of two entrances for the wrestlers.
