I also loved Abyss's feuds with AJ and Christian.
So fricking simple. Abyss beats the crap out of the face champ. Face champ comes back. Concludes inside Six Sides of Steel. Works brilliantly because Cage and Styles can bump like nutters for Abyss, and they have to innovate to beat him.
And it spawned the immortal 'Abyss, you can't win the title if he's dead' line from Father James Mitchell in relation to Abyss trying to drown Christian in his own pool.

Allowing Elijah Burke to use his Pope gimmick as well as giving him a mic and a ring to work in. Agreed

Those Morphoplex commercials with Larry Zbyszko, Traci Brooks and former Buffalo Bills star LB Darryl Talley they used to show about 25-30 times an iMPACT! episode.

Along with the PCS, TNA gets no better than this.

Along with the PCS, TNA gets no better than this. It's the crowd reaction that kills me. Going from jubilation to utter confusion because of a single sentence never fails to crack me up.

Signing Kurt Angle, that's the move that REALLY got me interested in TNA full time (and these forums subsequently )

Most of those are great, but if TNA closed shop tommorow, there would be one moment that I'd remember the most and it's a strange one considering TNA's obsession with taking shots at the WWE and how I don't like it.
(from beginning to about 3:04)
Edit: But besides that, Kurt Angle signing to TNA. It pretty much was the biggest statement TNA could make and, well, got them the attention they needed.

Christian's run was my personal favorite...especially the heel portion of it. Also, All in all, they've done a good job with the tag division. LAX's initial run. Early days of the Main Event Mafia. Making AJ Styles one of their headliners. Hiring Scott Steiner. The Joe vs. Styles vs. Daniels matches. Now, with most of these, you could come up with a negative side....but I'm keeping it positive as the OP requested.

MEM. All world champions, they kept it short and despite what some here might say it helped build the tna originals (AJ most especially) tragically the follow thru with WE never got off the ground and I'd be more willing to blame the new regime for that

Raven as the World Champion The Chris Candido Cup Abyss as the monster with James Mitchell Styles vs Daniels vs Joe, both times Storm vs Harris and the Texas Death Match Joe vs Angle Kurt Angle arriving in TNA LAX Scott Steiner promos AJ Styles as World Champion Styles vs Angle at 1/4/10 Angle vs Wolfe
I hope I don't bring this down, but people always talk about the TNA hate, and there's too much. To be honest, this thread is why there is TNA hate. TNA has had some shining moments, and this year has been incredibly depressing. The hate comes from the potential that TNA brings to wrestling, and how they're wasting it.

Knockout's Division Tag Team Division X Division The fact that they like to take risks, even if they fall, and fall hard, like putting TNA Impact against WWE Raw. Hiring guys like AJ Styles who know what they are doing in the ring. Filling a much needed void in a monopolistic sporting event The utilizations of the Pope, Ken Anderson, Kurt Angle, Matt Morgan, and Christian Made Orlando Jordan fun and interesting Breathed new life and even greater interest in Ric Flair...the man's still got it. TNA Reaction World Wrestling Tournament Seeing TNA wrestlers in CMLL and AAA everyonce in a while Main Event Mafia and other stables

This thread starts and ends with the PCS. Also throw out a nomination for Eric Young the guy works wounders with gimmicks and angles that would kill other wrestlers careers.

All world champions, they kept it short and despite what some here might say it helped build the tna originals (AJ most especially) tragically the follow thru with WE never got off the ground and I'd be more willing to blame the new regime for that MEM made the TNA originals look like crap. They were booked as weak timid and unable to do anything against the great ex-WWE/WCW guys. I thought the beginning of the angle was good it made them (The MEM) look like a credible threat BUT after establishing themselves as a threat the TNA originals never got to comeback and get over on the MEM. It also dragged on for way too long and then became a cluster f when the World Elite joined the equation. Basically that angle told everyone that WWE/WCW was better then TNA.

Allowing AJ, Joe, and Daniels to have matches with one another. This!

For me it's a tie between the PCS and giving Scott Steiner a mic.

-Christian's entire run -the Knockouts division minus this past year. -The Abyss/Dr. Stevie storyline
