TNA Wrestling Issues Statement Regarding Cancellation Rumors, Threatens Legal Action

Amidst rumors that Destination America is planning to cancel Impact Wrestling, TNA has issued a statement, and threatened possible legal action.

"It has come to our attention that several internet news sources have falsely attributed statements to TNA, its executives and broadcasting partner. These false statements constitute defamation and if necessary we will seek all legal remedies available to us," said the statement.

Yesterday, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Destination America planned to cancel TNA Impact, with the source being an internal email among employees at the channel. On Wrestling Observer Live today, Bryan Alvarez said the e-mail was dated several days prior to Destination America announcing Impact would be moving to Wednesdays, and Dave Meltzer of the Observer noted that this is very much an ongoing situation.
