True. It's amazing that Impact is still around after all of it's past backstage drama. Unfortunately, some of that Hogan/Bischoff/Carter stink is still on them, despite their quality product.
Sadly, it's the name. The name helps them on being recognizable (kinda), but it's still tied to their past.

I remember when they tried to distance themselves by using the whole Global Force Wrestling name, and Dixie hit the :camby:. The thing with IMPACT is that it's a testament of what was wrong with the era it was born in. The whole loud, t*ts, and redneck type of feeling is hard to shake. It got to a point where they had to drop TNA just to get an endorsement.

Its crazy how despite the TNA stigma, the fact remains that the name will forever be a household affair. Scott could one day call the shyt "Candian Mounted Wrestling Frontier" and it will still be TNA to me.
