TNA Knockout Music LLC was an American record label operated by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), primarily as a platform to release the entrance themes of the promotion's wrestling personalities. It was formed in September 2006, roughly four years following the formation of the TNA promotion in May 2002. Following a restructuring period, TNA Knockout Music legally ceased trading in August 2016, and the promotion would instead release its music independently through distributor TuneCore.{{Cite web|url=http://www.tunecore.com/|title=TuneCore is the best way to sell your music on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify & more.|website=www.tunecore.com|language=en|access-date=2020-04-07}}
Prior to formation of the record label, Dale Oliver was already TNA's official Head Music Composer and Director of Audio Production. As well as Oliver, Serg Salinas, who is the husband of former TNA owner Dixie Carter, also performed alongside Oliver on select few tracks. Montgomery Gentry and Jeff Hardy have also produced songs alongside Oliver and Salinas, most notably Bobby Roode, James Storm, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy and The Latin American Xchange.
History
In May 2002, the professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) was founded by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett. Dale Oliver was hired in the same year as TNA's inception to be its Head Music Composer and Director of Audio Production. Dale's work with the company is mainly writing and producing theme music for the company's various wrestling personalities, programming and live events.{{Cite web|url=https://www.orlandoweekly.com/orlando/deep-impact/Content?oid=2247234|title=Deep impact|last=Ali|first=Reyan|website=Orlando Weekly|language=en|access-date=2020-04-03}}
In 2006, TNA Knockout Music LLC. was filed on September 21 to serve as the record label for TNA Entertainment LLC, the parent company of TNA Wrestling.{{Cite web|url=https://tnbear.tn.gov/Ecommerce/FilingDetail.aspx?CN=057187021171196017030028068010006134229155061154|title=Business Entity Detail - Business Services Online|website=tnbear.tn.gov|access-date=2020-04-03}}
On August 6, 2016, TNA Knockout Music LLC, alongside TNA Entertainment LLC., were both collapsed as the company began to trade as Impact Ventures LLC., following a restructuring with Billy Corgan becoming president, and former TNA president Dixie Carter becoming chairwoman.{{Cite web|url=https://tnbear.tn.gov/Ecommerce/FilingDetail.aspx?CN=129027161081156127145204026234034035153058153189|title=Business Entity Detail - Business Services Online|website=tnbear.tn.gov|access-date=2020-04-03}}{{Cite web|url=https://tnbear.tn.gov/Ecommerce/FilingDetail.aspx?CN=057187021171196017030028068010006134229155061154|title=Business Entity Detail - Business Services Online|website=tnbear.tn.gov|access-date=2020-04-03}}
Following the collapse of TNA Knockout Music, the promotion would continue to release music independently through music distributor, TuneCore.
