IMPACT WRESTLING kicks off 2013 with the big return of "The Icon" Sting - and he's vowing revenge on The Aces & Eights! Sting is now on a mission to eliminate the gang from TNA! Will the final battle begin on Thursday when the Man In Black makes his comeback? Tune in and find out!



Also on the huge broadcast, there will be a Steel Cage Match as Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe join forces to battle The Aces & Eights! There will be no escape and no surrender when the cage door slams shut on Joe, Angle and the Aces!

Is Thursday's IMPACT the beginning of the end of the Aces' reign of terror with Sting's return and the big Steel Cage Match? Don't miss this all-important IMPACT that kicks off the New Year!



The 2012 Wrestler of the Year will be revealed as well. Who will win between finalists James Storm, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Jeff Hardy, or Bully Ray?

Plus, after what happened last week, what will happen when Hulk Hogan is face-to-face with Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan? Is the family drama about to reach a boiling point?

Thursday's IMPACT will also feature all of your favorite stars, including Hernandez, James Storm, Matt Morgan, the lovely but lethal Knockouts in action, the high-flying X Division Superstars and many more, plus news on the January 13 "Genesis" Pay-Per-View event!​
First show of the new year. Hopefully they kick it off right with a bang. They have quite a few things planned as you can see in the official preview. I'm looking forward to most of it. Sting's returned so many times in the last few years but I can't help but mark out when he appears because I've been a fan of his for so long. However, I am not all that intrigued in his feud with Aces & 8s although that beatdown DOC gave him with a hammer looked brutal. I am looking forward to build between Hardy/Aries/Roode to continue heading toward Genesis. And of course more DANIELS & KAZ!

Oh, Kurt please don't die doing some insane spot in the cage match!

Kurt is going to swerve all of you by doing a dropkick from the roof of the building.

Why is the word "SWERVE" all I can think about when I see the cage match on the card? Probably be something stupid like Anderson turns on Aces & Eights already but then Sting shows up and turns on TNA and joins Aces & Eights or some bullshit. Please surprise me TNA and DON'T GIVE ME ANY "SURPRISES". Have the cage match, bring Anderson and the rest of A&8 in at the end for a beatdown on Angle and Joe. Cue Sting return to make the save, hits some people with his bat, "main" A&8 guys like Devon and Anderson (now you see why I put "main" in quotation makes :lmao) escape unharmed leaving Sting with something to do in the next few weeks likely leading up to some PPV match.

The whole thing isn't ideal because Sting sucks, Devon sucks, Anderson sucks, the whole A&8 angle has been sucking bad for a couple of months now... but the alternative with SWERVE~! galore is even worse.

Come on TNA. Start 2013 off better than 2012 ended.

I've started (re)watching TNA since the past two weeks and this will be the first time I'll be watching it live. The last two shows weren't really bad, I kinda liked 'em infact. Aries/Roode/Hardy in the title picture, A&8s, RVD, Bully, Kaz/Daniels and Velvet and Tess :datass - things seem to be just alright.

Speaking of tonight's show, Sting returning :)mark:), a steel cage match, announcement of the wrestler of the year - the card looks quite decent. I hope they do put up a good show and start the year on a positive note.

This show has a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to it

I could see something big going down with AJ Styles, I could see him going fully fledged heel on this show.. I also hope something happens with the Aces and Eights angle to freshen things up, because that stable/story has become as stale as mouldy bread..
& =D at Zema being on the show, I think hes awesome.

How the actual fuck am I supposed to get excited for this show when Tony's away on holiday?

Seriously though, I hope that there's an incident during the cage match that will drive the A&8's angle on towards a reasonable climax. I'm seriously struggling to care about it anymore, mainly due to the poor booking involved that has made the gang members look like absolute chumps. Also, let me be the millionth poster to write "unneccesary Angle moonsault off the cage incoming".

A tournament for the X-Division number one contender's spot could be exactly what that 'division' needs in order to revitalise it. Hopefully TNA gives most of the guys involved a decent amount of promo time in order to establish their characters, allowing them to build a connection with the impact zone audience. There's nothing worse than a forced tournament with a bunch of guys that nobody could give two flying fucks for. It's one thing establishing wrestlers through actual matches, but this could also be a chance for these guys to get their personalities over, assuming they have any. If TNA are just going to run a bunch of cold card style matches then they would be better of investing all of that time in just one or two guys and slowly rebuilding the X roster that way, in my opinion.

Don't care about Kash vs York. INB4 it's gonna be slow and awkward.
Looking forward to King vs Ion. I think the chemistry is very good when they work against each other. Love their matches.

Can TNA at least call this a "mini-tournament" or something? 3 matches = Tournament? Get the fuk outta here.
