The Nostalgia Critic has reminded me that I enjoyed Shark Boy in TNA, especially his team with Curry Man

It can almost be summarized as the years from when Jeff Jarrett let go of his death grip on the title belt 'til Jarrett and Dixie started screwing thing up. Also known as '05-'07. This and the last couple months of 2009 are pretty much all I enjoyed too. What is ironic is that the last couple of months of 2009 was all Russo booking when he didnt have any filter. The moment Dixie started sharing her ideas to creative team is when TNA started to decline(The Suicide idea was Dixies..).

The last few months before Hogan got there, some of my favorite wrestling of all time. They were killing WWE and everyone had something decent going on. I even BOUGHT their PPVS!

I remember finding TNA figures for only $5.99 at Walmart in early 06, and they had WONDERFUL articulation compared to the stiff Jakks monkeymen. I got this guy and an AJ Styles. (@doge might like this)

From the cancellation/ROH thread ...screw it. When I found TNA on The Wrestling Channel back in 2004, it was the one show there that stuck out to me as actually interesting. This was on a channel that also had ROH, CZW and our own FWA. I followed it when it moved to the more major channel in Bravo, I went to Universal once and bought a day pass just so I could go see Impact getting taped live (the episode where Abyss won a contract in a ladder match and made the Chamber of Blood match, if you were wondering). I got taken backstage for my cheering and actually met with some of the wrestlers and Dixie. I actually might have been responsible for Bravo stopping with their terrible censorship jobs of the PPVs, because I complained to Dixie herself about it and within the next month or so the hackjobs stopped happening. I also got a free hat and an AJ shirt because i was annoyed that Bully Ray snatched mine and threw it away being a heel. From 2005-2007 in the era of Super Cena, I could honestly say TNA was the one thing that kept my faith in wrestling alive. I've always hoed since then that TNA could become the true rival WWE needed to keep it from becoming terrible. But alas, they stopped trying, and so did WWE. Gentlemen, it has been an honour watching with you tonight. Ugh, sorry if that sounded rambly or sappy. I think a part of the 14 year old wide eyed idealist in me from back then just died inside. Also - Kurt Angle's debut. NOONE saw it coming, the crowd came unglued, and in terms of wrestling lore, his first act was so badass: he headbutted a Samoan and came out on top of the exchange.
