What was your favourite era of TNA?

[Rick Mad]

Surrounding the time when Raven was the Champ. Good times.

[Evilution E5150]

haha i cant believe so many people are saying MEM when so many people pissed on it at the time.

for me it was the whole Angle/Joe fued and then the 6 month just before hogan came in as everything was really coming together and then bam back to square one

Definitely the time period when Christian first showed up and dominated; only time I've ever really watched TNA on a weekly basis.

The Scott D'Amore Era
(should be from about Lockdown 2005 to Bound For Glory 2006)

Basically in between Russo runs.
But, in fairness to Russo, his Jarrett/Mantel-less run of 2009 was damn good.

THIS. I've always thought that the D'Amore/Tenay era was TNA's golden age. Everything was good, storylines made sense, there was no confusing junk, and I was happy to plunk down my money every month because the PPVs were excellent.

I'm still not sure why Russo had to come back.

I'll toss my hat in this era as well. It's when I first got interested in TNA and started watching it on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I came in a bit late and only enjoyed it for a few months.

My interest took a severe nosedive the moment Kurt Angle joined. I'm not placing the blame on Angle; that's just the point in time I stopped liking it. I'm sure I've made it plenty clear who I blame for my ongoing disdain of TNA.

Pretty much from the time of the KO Tournament (late 07) to about mid 2008.

[The Possum]

Raven's title run. The greatest portion of TNA's booking, all around.

[derrtaysouth95]

It's been spotty throughout their existence.

The first few years.

Right before Hogan & Co arrived was great.

I hated the MEM then and I still hate it now. I don't see the appeal of that storyline.

[Krimzon]

Anything after "Planet Jarrett" until "The Bischogan Era."

[wcw]

2005-2006 when Russo wasn't with the company and you had Sting and Cage debuting and then you had Sting chasing Jarret for the title. Then you had TNA going from a 12am slot on Saturdays to prime time on Thursdays.

You also had Joe kicking ass in the X-Division facing quality opponents like Daniels, AJ, Kaval, and Sabin. You had the Kevin Nash vs the X-Division angle that spawned the beloved PCS. Then you had the tag division anchored by LAX, Team 3-D, and Styles and Daniels. Then Kurt Angle came in and it looks like TNA is going to skyrocket.

But then Russo came in and it was all down hill from there.

Last october to december actually.

Me too. Bound For Glory, Turning Point, and Final Resolution were excellent PPVs with awesome Impacts in between. Great wrestling, great angles, the company was absolutely on fire. Then, Hogan and Bischoff came in...bonerkill. The company has sucked to me ever since, they completely changed the tone of a company that was gaining a lot of momentum.

[Azrael from Outerspace]

The Samoa Joe kills everyone era. The X-division during that time was so great.

It only looked really good because the year before it with the MEM was such utter shit that a half way decent program like the one they were presenting post MEM pre-Hogan looked awesome.

It still had a ton of flaws BUT they pretty much just let the old guard get one last run before Hogan and his boys got there and it was a solid show all around nothing really good however.

2005-2006 was TNA's best era by far.

2004 to about 3 months after Angle's arrival, with the 2007 Lethal Lockdown perking my interest for a short time, and Jarrett's 2009 return.

That is basically when I liked TNA, especially the post-MEM pre-Hogan-destroys-everything era.

Right when Angle got there Russo came back. TNA took a slight dip in ratings for some reason over a two month period and they decided to bring in Russo (Despite doing better in PPV buys and changing time slots from 12am Saturdays to 9pm Thursdays).

When Angle got there I thought TNA was going to be something special. They were coming off of a year of phenomenal booking and they just landed Kurt freaking Angle. But they never really took off like they should have and Russo is so clearly to blame for that.

2004-2007 FSN-Spike TV Era

[vivix]

FSN days, Stylin Angels days, OCT till end of 2009.

[Rated_Y2J.222]

The FSN era was my favorite time. I was a really huge fan and supporter of TNA during that time period, can't say that now.

The FoxSportsNet Era.

Outside the ruthless reign of Planet Jarrett, The X Division, tag teams and Monty Brown ruled the airwaves. Impact was treated like a sport with the time limits and the X Division matches lasted longer than 3 minutes. And who didn't like seeing the POUNCE!!!!.....PERIOD.

My favourite era aswell. just before Rhino won the world title. Sure, jarrett was the only possible champ in the whole company , but the undercards were always fun... Shocker, Team Canada, Elix Skipper, Shark Boy, Monty Brown, 3 Live Kru, Apollo, Siaki, Sonjay and the Arrival of Joe. It was'nt great it was just somthing really different.

Also after taking a 1.5 year hiatus from wrestling. TNA from March 2009 up until Hogan era, got me back into wrestling full time. I refused to watch WWE, and TNA alone got me back into the sport. Now i can barely sit through Impact, and Somtimes ill flip through a Smackdown or a raw.

Thank goodness for Silvervision and Highspots.com

Either the weekly PPV era, just because it was something different, or now.
