I wasn't too specific earlier, so here's what I particularly like:
- Kevin Nash I've been a Nash mark since I was 8 or 9 (and I'll be going on 22 this year), so his appearances bring a lot of sentimental value. Plus thye PCS stuff was freakin' hilarious. I wish those comedic aspects of Nash could've been seen in his 02-03 WWE run rather than "RAWR! NASH SMA- OW MY QUAD!"
- TNA's Super Heavyweights/Hosses Tomko, Abyss, Hoyt, Morgan & Nash > All of WWE's big men (well... except for Undertaker).
- Kurt Angle TNA did the impossible - make Kurt Angle entertaining again. From about mid/late 2004 up until his heel turn in TNA, I coudn't stand "Wrestling is Serious Business" Kurt. But after his heel turn, the tanning bed skits, "Martin Lutrher the King," bribing Kevin Nash with porn, his MILF of a wife & taking AJ under his wing, I can proudly call myself an Angle mark again.
- Knockouts Division Possibly the best booked division in TNA. And the Knockouts are definately hotter than the Divas. And the fact that they can actually wrestle, to me, makes them that much hotter.
- Abyss/James Mitchell/Judas Mesias angle Is this storyline Taker/Kane/Paul Bearer 2.0? Yes, but so what? I don't care. Mitchell's promos are money every time. Abyss is one of the most talented big men in the ring today & Mesias brings a new dimension to the monster heel character (They're usually big white guys... Judas is an average sized latino guy... Not much of a twist I know but I think it's unique).
- Eric Young Well... I think he's funny.
- 3D & Devine /MCMG's & Lethal Again, TNA doing the impossible twice - making the Dudley's entertaining & Johnny Devine worth a damn. I guess the Dudleys of ECW have spoiled me, since they've been so watered down in WWE and even their first year or so in TNA. But after their heel turn against the Steiners, they've become the heat machines they used to be. Shelley, Sabin & Lethal have looked like true underdogs in this feud and in turn look like a million bucks every time they square off.
- Scott Steiner HEH? YOU'RE A REDNECK TRUCK! I'M HUNGRY! FAAAAAAAAAAT ASSES! I don't even care what angle he's in or who he's feuding with, as long as he gets mic time it doesn't matter.
Other notables: - Jimmy Rave - The Shark Boy skits from a couple Impact's ago - A relevent tag team division - Christian - AJ since going into lackey heel mode - CURRY MAN! - Global iMPACT! - Jeff Jarrett - Joe's rise to the top (He'll get the belt within the year) - Don West - JB & Crystal - Black Reign

Y'know - sometimes I wonder in the whole MCMG/3D fued - who was REALLY putting who over.

Kinda off topic, but seeing this thread title made me think that Donald Trump would start a thread called "Things we love about Bobby"

Samoa Joe (when he is a badass like he was last night) Christian- his promos are great and he has exciting matches Tomko- he has improved so much since he came to TNA and he will be a main eventer soon enough AJ- I like his comedy character (as long as it is not pushed too far) and his matches are great as always MCMG's- they are great in the ring and they should beat Team 3D this month Borash- he is great in his role and has great interactions with all the wrestlers Cornette- he always makes sense even when some stupid stuff doesn't

*AJ Styles. He's shown so much growth as an entertainer. I know he'll be on top before too long. *Joe and Nash. I don't know how much actual influence Nash has had on Joe, but I've noticed way better promos from him, and he's looked more like a guy that can actually run with the ball then he has since coming to TNA. *Black Machismo. How they figured this out is still a mystery to me, but turning a bland wrestler like Jay Lethal into something entertaining is still one of the best things TNA has ever done. *Shark Boy. I wasn't convinced until the Clam Juice. *Robert Roode. One of the better heels I've seen in a long time. He was always supposed to be "the next big thing" in TNA, but I never really saw it until he hit Sharmell. *The Motor City Machine Guns. They embody pretty much everything good about TNA. * The Angle Alliance. Karen's been great in her "harlot" role, Kurt's still the best in the business, and JB's been damn funny. *Team 3D. And this I wouldn't have predicted a while back. But they've got me caring again. *Curry Man, and what may be the best entrance in professional wrestling. *Knockouts. This is pretty much undeniably good. *Christian Cage. Another of the best, doing what he does best.

Laotiancommotion-You made great points and I agree with them all. Impact this week was one of the best I have ever seen. It pains me to say that since I know Russo wrote it but yes it was good. I still don't really like the Abyss/Mitchell/Judas Macias angle because I don't believe in Judas Macias character. Ricky Banderas is trying hard though and a barbed wire masacre match will give him the opportunity to show how sinister his character is

- Love AJ's progression - Want Joe to be champ but I realize they don't want to rush it - I like how they poke fun at internet stories and trends EX: MMG talking about how Lethal beat Angle, Joe talking about making 15% more than Angle - Knockouts, that word stands alone. There has never been a womens division like this in the history of our great sport (sorry I channeled Tony Schiovne) - NO JEFF JARRET!!!!!!!

-Viable tag division -MCMG and Lethal vs. 3D and Devine -Samoa-friggin'-Joe -The comedy is actually funny...at least most of the time -Pairing Cornette and Morgan -Dr. Nash -A willingness to at least give guys a chance to get over with gimmicks; really, who would've guessed a year ago that Petey Williams would be back on track at this point? -Lethal playing the Black Machismo role so well. Make So Cal his official valet now! -Knockouts really are the goods...and I've always found Gail and Jackie Moore sexy. Also, c'mon, would we have ever guessed that any of us would actually ENJOY Christy Hemme outside of being eye-candy? She's come a long way. -Tomko -AJ's comedy is gold -Angle as the guy who's a goof outside the ring, but a beast the second the bell rings -Christian's and Mitchell's promos -Last but not least: LAX. I still want to see 'Cide and Hernandez against the Briscoes one day.

..what? Why are you looking at me like that? Yes, this IS MGH making this topic, Sinister didn't hack my account. The crap in TNA aside that I don't like, there really is plenty to enjoy. So that's what this thread is for, countering the one right below it as I post this. So yeah, no negativity here, post what you're enjoying! -TOMKO! -Kong vs. Gail is great, and still going strong. -No more "legal possession of the X-Title" crap, now the belt is rightfully owned by a champion and he has his belt in his possession. Hooray! -Looks like Matt Morgan will be wrestling soon. -No more whining Joe, I think. You go. This is so cool!I made a thread of what I don't like about TNA and yours is the opposite.Ying and yang!There are a lot of things I like about TNA especially the very talented T&A "Knock Outs" So Cal Val makes me drool & Traci Brooks has the hottest rack I've ever seen(and I've seen a lot!!)

IT'S AN ALTERNATIVE TO WWE.
We did not have one after WCW died for way too long. Competition can only improve the quality of the programming.
An additional plus: competition can only improve the treatment of the talent by management.
