I've loved TNA a bunch of different times throughout the history of the company. I got into the weekly PPV's and hated the storylines but liked the new wrestlers. Then got into it big within the time period of Christian/Sting/Kurt so I guess the initial years of Spike TV. A big part of that was I liked the main guys, but the young guys finally were established to me.
So I started to hate the fact that besides AJ and Joe none of the ready for prime time players got a reasonable shot. So I fell off again till Hogan came to TNA. It was rough for a few months, but also had an odd upside. Like two steps forward and two steps back. Yet they hit a groove within three months and I thought they regularly put on a better week to week product over WWE. Yet it fizzled and died a awful death that started with the motorcycle group and evil Dixie. At the same time they started getting rid of the original talent they never did anything proper with.
Yet I want to like TNA. No, I want to love TNA. Is there anything that I should be interested in?
Last episode watched was probably Tito Ortiz crossing over for all of two or three shows.

Right now they're just doing a random, directionless tournament. It's been going on for over a month, was taped months ago, and is so long it won't end until January.

Ok the Tito Ortiz thing didn't lead to anything because Bellator took him and Rampage out of TNA.
After that they built to an angle where Bully Ray put Dixie through a table. It didn't mean anything because Bully left the company a short time later.
They got cancelled by spike and landed on a channel called Destination America. They broadcast shows about drunken rednecks looking for ghosts and Bigfoot. At the beginning Dixie said that the move was great because DA gave them 3 shows, one was impact and the other 2 where basically repeats of the same impact episode. DA cancelled those other 2 shows in a couple of weeks.
Creatively the period they were on DA was terrible and depressing to watch, it seemed like every week their budget got lower and lower.
There was a faction called BDC lead by MVP, it consisted of: Samoa Joe, Low Ki, Homicide, Kenny King and Hernandez. Joe quit and went to the wwe, Low Ki retired, Homicide dissapeared, and Hernandez was contracted by Lucha Underground who told TNA not to feature him or they would sue. Because of that every segment containing Hernandez wasn't used, and because he was heavily pushed, the shows seemed like Chunks were missing from them. MVP either quit or got fired because of it.
Their ppv's have been plagued by technical difficulties.
Jeff Jarrett and GFW invaded, the angle was short lived because Jeff and John Gaburick (head of creative, talent relations, and Kevin Dunn's flunkie), couldn't agree on the finish.
Currently they got cancelled by Destination America, and had to tape months of tv in advance. They're gonna be in a new channel called Pop that used to be the TV guide channel. They're also gonna tour India and it's main attraction is Mahabali Shera, quite possibly the worst wrestler in tna history (he high fived the fans while he was supposed to be a heel)
