For over 16 years, Impact Wrestling has seemed to be on its last leg on several occasions. Starting out as a post-WCW project created by Jerry and Jeff Jarrett, Total Nonstop Action (TNA) evolved into Impact Wrestling, which was originally the name of their weekly television show. After Jerry ended his relationship with the company, Jeff partnered with the daughter of Panda Energy founder Robert Carter, Dixie Carter.<\/p>\n
Jarrett and Carter had an on-again, off-again relationship, with Jeff leaving the company and starting another promotion, Global Force Wrestling. GFW never managed to be a sturdy competitor of Impact, and Jeff returned on a couple of occasions to reclaim an executive role.<\/p>\n
However, Jarrett’s personal problems left him out of the company again, with its change of management shifting from Dixie Carter to Anthem Sports & Entertainment based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n

With the need for a new lead executive following Dixie stepping down, Anthem was looking for someone with enough professional wrestling knowledge to completely overhaul a struggling company. Eventually, Impact Wrestling announced<\/a> that Don Callis and Scott D’Amore will be co-Executive Vice Presidents of the company.<\/p>\n
