I wish TNA would release a best of the weekly PPV era DVD set, and then a best of the FSN/internet era DVD set

In November, TNA is releasing TNA: Year 1, about the Weekly PPV era. So, there's that.

Plus, Don West's bringing back the original DVDs from TNA, the original X-Division one, the original best of the Title matches, and the original bloodiest brawls.

Sweet, I can't wait for the original Bloodiest Brawls one (no way I am dropping $300 for it on eBay). That is the only one of the original "Best Ofs" that I don't have and the Best of the Weeklies should be good as well.

That sounds pretty badass. I'd love to pick up all of those DVDs.

1) For some strange reason your television gets no other station than Spike TV
2) You've been strapped to a chair at 9 p.m. EST and forced to watch
3) You're unable to gauge out your eyes, tear off your ears, or even kill yourself...leaving you with no other alternative but to watch TNA Impact

Even though I agree with you that the Dusty/D'Amore era was great, a lot of people will tell you that they were only pulling in .5 and .6 ratings back then whereas now they are pulling in double that. Of course people forget that TNA used to be on a small network (FSN) with the crappiest time slot in the world (Friday at 4PM??). I will go out on a limb and say that if you took some of the old Impact broadcasts from the FSN days and played them now on Spike at 9PM, they would do well. Maybe even better then TNA now.

This is the November 19, 2004 TNA IMPACT! on FSN (Dusty booking, and I could not see these matches drawing in more viewers during prime time).

BACKSTAGE:
The Kings of Wrestling attacked Shark Boy, D-Ray 3000 and Amazing Red (who was smashed face-first into a wall)..

NON (WORLD) TITLE MATCH: Jeff Jarrett defeated defeated J-Rocc..

INTERVIEW: Shane Douglas & Triple X (Elix Skipper & Christopher Daniels)..

TAG MATCH: America's Most Wanted vs The NYC (Glen Gilbertti & Johnny Swinger w/Trinity) was a NO CONTEST..
-Jeff Jarrett was pacing around at ringside until AMW abandoned the match and attacked the World champion!
-Kevin Nash & Scott Hall got out of their seats and came to Jeff Jarrett's rescue..
-The brawl ended up outside, where AMW were thrown into the Six-sided Cage for a beatdown from Triple X..

TAG MATCH: Team Canada (Petey Williams & Bobby Roode w/Scott D'Amore) defeated Jerrelle Clark & Mikey Batts..

MATCH: Johnny B. Badd defeated Raven after a ref-bump and DDP's interference..

INTERVIEW: Shane Douglas & Diamond Dallas Page..
-Diamond Dallas Page claimed Raven has been in his mind for 2? years and the rent was due..

MATCH: Abyss defeated Kevin Devine after a Black Hole Slam and then a POUNCE!
-Abyss threatened to use the bag of thumbtacks on Kevin Devine but Monty Brown made the save!

INTERVIEW: Shane Douglas & Raven..
-Raven said the real heat should be between DDP and Erik Watts, not DDP and Raven..

IN THE RING: Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes..
-Dusty Rhodes talked about the upcoming Turning Point Pay Per View on December 5. Rhodes also added that the team who loses the Six-sided Cage must split up forever!
Dusty Rhodes address the "Kings of Wrestling" and warned them that 'someone' was here to confront them..

6-MAN TAG: Kid Kash & Michael Shane & Frankie Kazarian defeated Sonjay Dutt & Sonny Siaki & Hector Garza..
-Kid Kash used a coconut to knock Sonny Siaki out cold and score the pinfall victory..
-Referee Mike Posey spotted the foreign weapon and decided to restart the match..
-Kid Kash simply got the coconut again and whacked Sonny Siaki out with it AGAIN for the win!
-Shark Boy came down to protest, leading to a big brawl between everybody in the ring..
-The Kings of Wrestling appeared and took out Shark Boy, Hector Garza & Sonjay Dutt with their finishers..
-AJ Styles & Jeff Hardy hit the ring along side --- the returning --- Randy "Macho Man" Savage!!
-Randy Savage knocked out Jeff Jarrett and called the Kings out for a match at the next PPV..
-Jeff Jarrett got the microphone and accepted the challenge..
END SHOW.

I have NO IDEA how this is supposed to be better than now. In fact, there's so much going on, stipulations being added, and dumb finishes that the board would erupt in "OMG, this is TOO CONFUSING" posts.

I didn't start watching TNA until March 2005.... I'll admit this show you described does sound like a cluster. I suppose I am mistaken on what the Dusty/D'Amore era is, so that was my bad.

I was referring to the period from March 2005 through the end of the year. The period when Christopher Daniels was a dominant X Division champion, and the NWA title was passed around between Jarrett, AJ Styles, and Raven. AMW and the Naturals were putting on great brawls on PPV for the tag titles. This is also when Joe debuted I believe, and he was pushed as a no-nonsense monster.

[BrodietheSlayer]

1. Triple X
2. Motor City Machine Guns
3. Kevin Nash is at the funniest he's been since 1997

That's.....really about it right now, and even 1 and 2 have been taking a backseat to the Kurt Angle/Pacman Jones Adventure Hour.

2 Kurt Angle (does not compute with #1)
3 tag team division (LAX, MCMG, XXX)
