The pro wrestling world has seen a lot of celebrity cameos throughout the history of the business. WWEs Rock n Roll connection brought a ton of attention to the business, which proved the idea. TNA Wrestling has joined the fun many times, and now that will continue.
Perez Hilton is popping up in a wrestling space again. The celebrity gossip expert said hell be in Dallas for the premiere of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC on January 15. TNA is treating the week like a mini event run, with meet-and-greets scheduled around multiple nights at the Curtis Culwell Center. Obviously, with Perez Hilton in the mix, this could draw a few more headlines.
The timing is smart for TNA, because the AMC debut is a big deal for the company. AMC Networks have given their Thursday Night to iMPACT! as a weekly, two-hour block, and TNA has been stacking the premiere with major matches to make noise right away.
Now for the Perez deep dive. Hes not new to pro wrestling. WWE promoted Hilton in early 2012 as a special guest on Raw SuperShow, bringing him in as a guest ring announcer for a Divas match.
TNAs own lineup for Dallas includes meet-and-greets on Wednesday, January 14, Thursday, January 1, and Saturday after TNA Genesis. Names announced across those sessions include Matt & Jeff Hardy, Frankie Kazarian, Mike Santana, Ash By Elegance, Nic Nemeth, Moose, Mustafa Ali, Lei Ying Lee, Mara Sade, BDE, Leon Slater, Tessa Blanchard, and Victoria Crawford.
Only time will tell what TNA Wrestling has in store for 2026, but this is certainly going to be an interesting premiere on AMC.
