We get wrapped around the axel of how they are now and we forget the moments and matches that made us fans. So what match is your favorite one in TNA. History?
It was close between JJ v Sting at BFG 06 and my actual choice. But Joe vs Angle at Lockdown in Boston 2008 was the best execution of an angle(no pun intended) and the best sell job TNA. Ever did. The match itself was a great story. Angle telling Karen to leave at bell time was touch that took away the entertainment aspect and set it into an athletic contest story. That is so incredibly rare in wrestling these days that I cannot recall another time where any wrestlers in any company did this in the last twenty years.

Joe vs. Daniels vs. AJ will likely get a lot of mentions in here, but I want to throw in my favourite match that I also feel is vastly underrated and not mentioned enough: AJ vs. Abyss in the cage match at Lockdown 2005.

Roode vs Storm, BFG 2012. A stellar blood feud capped with a stellar ending.
Angle vs Joe, Lockdown 2008. It was every bit the intensity and build that the 2006-2007 run was so sorely devoid of after them blowing their proverbial two seconds in.

The World X cup battle royal from 2004, I think. Hector Garza won it but I enjoyed all the characters from it.
Christian Cage's first King of the Mountain was fun because I never heard of the match type before it and I thought it was really innovative.

2002 X Division finals between AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn to crown the first X Champion. There were four participants in that match and it was a crazy marathon to win it.
I wish all X Division matches would have been this innovative and hard-fought and captivating.

1. Unbreakable Triple Threat
2. AMW vs XXX six sides of steel
3. AJ/Daniels/Joe 2
4. Samoa Joe vs Angle (I go back and forth between their first and 2nd match)
Honorable mention for me AJ/Daniels vs LAX Bound for Glory and Raven vs Rhino for the TNA title. Two matches that for some reason stand out for me.

I didn't see many PPVs...but the two that stand out to me from watching live
MCMG vs Beer Money best of 5 series
Austin Aries winning the World Title
The 3 way was probably the best match though.

Angle vs Anderson in 6 side of steel.
Angle vs Wolfe in 6 sides of steel.
Angle vs Joe at Lockdown 2008.
Also, shout out to Sting vs Jarrett where Sting NO SOLD the guitar shot. I love Sting, I love the downfall of a champion many people didn't want, I love once a year excusable legend spots like that.

Pluck a match from the 2005/2006 AJ vs. Joe vs. Daniels series of matches and it's in there.

Jarrett/Sting at BFG '06. One of the times when TNA felt like a company on the rise, a company that mattered, with a hot crowd and some good(ish) booking.

AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels they had a lot of great ones but the one where Chriss while running at him yells Die AJ made that my favorite one of the lot. I can not remember where and when it happened though.

The AJ/Daniels/Joe triple threat is my favourite but I don't think I've been as excited about a match ending in TNA as much as I was when Aries beat Roode for the title 2 years ago.

TNA peaked with the Unbreakeble triple threat, then got a little bit close to that with Aries vs Roode.
