What was so bad about 2010? I'm not asking because I doubt, I just honestly don't remember - that might've been around the time I tuned out from all of wrestling for a while.
As for their best, I'd definitely say this year. Yeah, the Claire Lynch/AJ storyline has been pretty bad, but I guess not everything can be all good all the time. As for the worst, I don't remember 2007 being very good at all in hindsight, although I enjoyed it back then because I was new tot he product.

You had it start with Hogan coming in and literally telling people what they had watched and enjoyed years prior was crap, the influx of all his hangers on and suck ups giving us great stuff like 3D v. the Nasty Boys led by Jimmy Hart, Val Venis beating Daniels on PPV with Daniels being fired shortly after and Val just leaving as well, Bubba the Love Sponge and all his bullshit, the first NWO try with the Band featuring Nash, an out of shape and drunk Hall and X Pac who TNA lied about no showing an event when they knew he wouldn't be there thanks to him discovering he had HepC and wouldn't be cleared to wrestle only to be replaced by EY despite them beating the hell out of him multiple times, Abyss and the Almighty WWE HoF ring, the thing where the fans vote for a number one contender which was won by Desmond Wolfw who they were burying over Abyss who they were pushing and just having him squashed by RVD on a random Impact, the mess that was early Fourtune with 8 people, trying to make AJ Styles into Ric Flair Jr., and finally there was the build to nWo attempt 2 (right down to using the same arena for the reveal) in Immortal which everyone saw coming, right down to Sting, except Dixie. Then more talent like Creed, Homicide, Wilde, and Kong left as well. And is just what I remember, god knows what I've blocked or forgotten.

Also, Jeff Hardy made his TNA return as a result of some godawful X-Division cage that nobody could see through. And RVD's debut saw him beat Sting quickly... followed by Sting beating the crap out of him for 10 minutes. I hope I didn't open up any new wounds... or Black Holes in the ring.

I'm really glad they did, because they're currently putting on the best wrestling show on TV- but Jeepers H. Crackers, how on earth did TNA survive 2010?

Oh man, NOW I remember 2010. Maybe I was trying to put it out of my mind, that year was awful all around.

And the fact they tried to put ECW over as the greatest promotion of all time, without being able to say the very name of the promotion they were putting over their own damn roster.

I think the more pertinent question is how the f*** did we survive 2010 era TNA? I mean, I watched every single Impact and PPV from 2010. How the hell did I manage to do that without wanting to commit?

Hamada also left in 2010. Plus we had the infamous "Lockbox Challenge", from which I date the semi-official end of the KO Division Golden Age, for the TNA KO Championship.

As for the worst, I don't remember 2007 being very good at all in hindsight, although I enjoyed it back then because I was new tot he product. Hogan and BIschoff truly believed that they could do whatever they want and it would be gold. As I mentioned in a previous post, 2009 actually wasn't a bad year... and in fact was great by the end of the year. Bisch and Hogan pretty much got rid of everything that was getting over and moved Impact to Monday Nights... and got destroyed rating wise. It had some good moments. Mr. Anderson and Matt Morgan actually got over as babyfaces, Doug Williams/AJ Styles feud for the tv title, Jay Lethal vs Ric Flair, Jeff Hardy's anti-christ of pro wrestling heel character was actually pretty good before he got drugged up before a ppv main event... but that was about it. Oh and the whole Main Event Mafia fiasco (which technically was also beginning of 2011), to recap, While Immortal was running wild, Crimson started attacking members of the group reporting THEY were coming to stop Immortal, it was widely speculated that it was the Main Event Mafia (Sting, Steiner,Angle, Booker, and Nash) who were the big heel group of 2008/09 (and was a good group) and the news was basically confirmed when Scott Steiner returned to TNA out of nowhere. After all the build up... Booker and Nash decide to go to WWE, and creative panics by turning Fourtune Face. Which actually worked out okay, but it led to SPIKE officials and Panda Energy reps really giving Dixie Carter crap for banking on the MEM when they all weren't on board. This ended up leading to Pritchard and Lagana being brought in.

I didn't start watching TNA until 07/08(not exactly sure when, I stopped watching all of wrestling from 04-07). I gave it a chance because of all the stars I recognized and liked the younger guys like Styles, Daniels and Samoa Joe. But I could never really get into TNA until '09, then I started watching every week, especially the last few months, so that was my favorite year until now. Then 2010 happened, holy crap that sucked. I kept trying to give TNA chances, because it was so good at the end of '09, but I couldn't do it. It was so bad, that I barely ever watched TNA, although I would occasionally give it chances because my older brother would talk me into it. This year I have started watching again and I am not regretting it, good stuff, TNA is finally on the right track again after being completely derailed for the last two years. So 2009 and this year are my favorites, with 2010, by far, being the worst year I have witnessed. I am honestly surprised TNA survived 2010, it was WCW 2000 levels of bad, possibly worse and I am not joking.

2005/2006 was awesome, great roster, Christian & Angle coming in and bringing some legitimacy, good Knockout division, awesome tag teams (Styles/Daniels, AMW, LAX)
2010 was pathetic, but I've only seen the first 2 months or so, couldn't handle all the Hogan bufoonery
