Before we go any further, this isn't a joke thread. In trying to be more positive, I decided to look back on moments in TNA that were actually good/great. My favorite is the AJ/Daniels/Joe match at Unbreakable 2005.
This promo though may be one of the funniest.

This video package. Everything about this video package shows that TNA once wasn't just the butt of every joke in the wrestling world. Back before things went completely akimbo by 2007, it was an epic product showing signs of evolution and change when the WWE product was starting to suffer that staleness.
And then Dixie and Russo, and the stench of 1996 festered, and now you know the rest of the story

The rise of the Pope in 2010. Got the crowd behind him, had a really good back and forth with Desmond Wolfe before capping it off at Against All Odds with a really well booked tournament. His match against Mr Anderson made both look really good in terms of their characters.

I've said this before but Sting no-selling Jarrett's guitar shot at BFG 2006 is not only one of the best TNA moments ever but also one of my all-time favorite wrestling moments.

Pretty much anything that Bad Influence did, though I get the feeling that it was a Jericho in WCW situation and they were just doing what they felt like with little in the way of direction.

The Elix Skipper cage walk is my favorite moment.

Aries winning the title from Roode was such a great moment. I didn't see it coming, it was a great match, Aries was on fire in TNA at that point and TNA gave it big treatment with the celebration after. Probably the biggest I've cheered for someone when they've won a match in TNA as well.

Anything involving Paparazzi Productions. Here's the thing: Both "Kevin Nash is mad as hell at the X Division" (as Jeff Jarrett described it) and Alex Shelley's base gimmick still holds up. It still feels as fresh and different now, nine years later, as it did then. Pre-2007 James Mitchell. He somehow made being the "quasi-Satanic evil guy" not feel cheesy or campy. Both funeral scenes. From the wife: "I know no one's going to agree with me, but the first Barbed Wire Massacre. I just loved that - all of it [both the match and its accompanying feud]. It's still one of my favorite matches of all time." And finally, this. Quite possibly TNA's first great match. |

I've said this before but Sting no-selling Jarrett's guitar shot at BFG 2006 is not only one of the best TNA moments ever but also one of my all-time favorite wrestling moments. I know a lot of people thought and still think the main event for Bound for Glory should of been Samoa Joe winning the title against Jeff Jarrett. But Goddammit I really enjoyed the Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett feud and I loved how it was a long term 10 month feud that ended in what was suppose to be there Wrestlemania. I loved how Sting wore his vintage gear, I loved how special it felt Sting was winning the NWA Title for the first time since 1990. Hell I just want to nominate Bound for Glory 2006 as a whole. It's still one of my favorite PPV's ever. Plus the whole PPV actually felt big. It was the first PPV held outside of The Impact Zone or the original TNA Studio in Nashville. It had a great sellout hot crowd of 3600 people making it seem very big time like it progressed this far. A solid card, great matches, comeuppances, and hell it felt very f***ing surreal that they had Fozzy's song Enemy as the main song of the PPV with Jericho being shown. Seriously there was lots of solid PPV's during 2005 and 2006 in TNA. |
