In an attempt to make a thread without all the negativity, what do you think is, flat out, the best thing TNA ever did. Could be a match, an angle, a gimmick, something the company did, etc. One thing done by TNA that could make you say "that was awesome."
For me, I think it'd be the Kurt Angle signing.
Being shocked in wrestling is so rare now, especially when it comes to new wrestlers showing up somewhere. I certainly didn't expect that Kurt Angle would jump ship when he took a break from the WWE. It was announced so quickly after he left as well. And while there have been many complaints about his health in TNA, honestly, he's better off with the schedule he's working there.
The runner up would be how TNA has taken the ball and run with Elijah Burke. The dude can flat out go, and I think WWE really did drop the ball on the guy.

Samoa Joe's initial winning streak. This, I also really loved the Petey Williams v. Chris Sabin feud (late 2004- early 2005) during which Sadin was the first to find a method of consistently reversing the Canadian Destroyer flip piledrive, by turning it into Sabin own finisher (at the time) the Cradle Shock.

IMO, the first Ultimate X match. It had great wrestlers in a gimmick match that actually required them to figure out how to win it (how do you use the ropes in order to get the X). One of the few times that the gimmick actually enhanced the match.

One of the few times that the gimmick actually enhanced the match. Except the for that the belt kept falling down, making the whole thing look somewhat silly.

Gotta say, I'm just gonna make a list of things, past or present, that I really enjoyed in TNA.
In no particular order. -Serotonin -PCS -Everything w/ Nash and Shelley -MCMG -Don West managing Amazing Red -London Brawling -World Elite -Shannon Moore's original TNA run -Ink, Inc. -Actually, the tag division (Ink, Inc., MCMG, Beer Money, Young/Jordan, Generation Me) is maybe my favorite in wrestling right now -Kongtourage -Sojo
A lot of those aren't happening right now, but some are. TNA, while definitely not at its best, isn't as bad as some people say.
