I just remembered I actually started watching TNA from the first PPV. I barely watch anymore because of time constraints, but this board made me get all nostalgic. I still remember when TNA had all the NASCAR plugs, had cage dancers, and had random midget matches every week for no reason. Those were some awesome days.
Did anyone beside me actually watch the first midweek PPV?
If I remember correctly, the first PPV was $15. Pretty fair price.

I watched from the first PPV to air in Australia, which was Raven's debut, though I did take a break from 2004-2007.

I think I watched up to the FSN Era, took a break, started again around Spike TV era, and now taking another break.

2006, when Sting came back on premiere on Spike.
I think that's when that happened. Do I have my dates mixed up?

I remember always wanting to order the weekly ppvs, but I couldn't afford it. I was all excited to see names like Scott Hall, Jerry Lynn, Raven, DDP, all those names I knew from years gone by. Been watching almost every week since FSN days, through the online summer, and ever since Spike.

Started watching when they went internet only, before that it wasn't on here. Or it was on briefly before then, but on a community access channel I always forgot about.

Watched from the first PPV right up until shortly after LockDown this year, mostly due to no longer having the time, or having Spike.

I ordered the first couple PPVs, stopped watching until Raven debuted, watched regularly until summer 05, started watching again at the First Victory Road, watched regularly until Angle's debut, then Russo turned me away.

caught the debut episode of Impact on FSN, whenever that was, but have been following along on the web since the PPV days. Have watched off and on since then

Anyone miss the old TNA like I do? It was idiotic and stupid, but it was awesome and entertaining.
You can't tell me the random hardcore midget matches weren't fun. I still remember Teo and that really fat midget having a random food fight one episode.
It was also fun to see Paul London and Styles back then.

I watched from about the 2nd or 3rd month. Truth was champ and Jarrett was trying to get a shot. I watched regularly up until Hard Justice 07.

The first time I saw TNA was live at the Asylum in Nashville for one of the Wednesday PPVs, which was 2003 or 2004. It was shortly after DLo Brown left WWE and joined TNA. I remember Christopher Daniels ran through the crowd and pushed me out of the way for a run-in (I didn't know who he was at time time). I remember they had Erik Watts as Director of Authority, and Raven fought Shane Douglas in a Clockwork House of Fun match. I also remember some pretty wild hardcore matches from New Jack, and they showed skits with the 3 Live Kru.

Back in mid-2003 a friend gave me a couple of tapes (VHS LOL), and I was hooked. Sadly everything I liked about the product has either been out right elimiated, or water down, over the course of the past two years.
