Fave Factions

What team or faction had a more entertaining run or had a better/bigger Impact on the TNA product?

I will go with MEM. They set ratings records (not huge numbers but for Impact to go from 1.02 to 1.32 in a few weeks that is pretty good. All world champions, good matches (Angle/Sting empty arena was awesome) oh and Chet Lemmon and Black Snow commentary

So sorry to have forgotten that. Shelly really used the opportunity he had very well

Team Canada, I loved to hate them back in the early days of TNA.

[H-Virus]

I notice you didn't include The Band. Whasupwidat?

I'll go ahead and say MEM, even though I stopped caring about them completely after about four or five months.

[Vice honcho room temperature]

Christian Coalition because my name is Christian. And I've always wanted a coalition or a consortium

[kyromax]

Fortune, but I think it can still be much better yet.

Sports Entertainment Xtreme (S.E.X.)!!! not really....

[Madagascar Fred]

hmmm don't remember all of em, but LAX was da truth baby! (even though I wouldn't really call em a faction)

I really liked the World Elite. They could have really gone somewhere with them as the "Supergroup" in TNA instead of Immortal and that would have been an awesome shirt.

Tough one. I went with Team Canada for the hockey sticks and Canadian Destroyer, but it could easily have been MEM for Scott Steiner.

I contemplated putting "The Band" on the poll, but I figured I'd get enough heat for forgeting other long running or better recieved groups. (I know you were just kidd'n but I seriously did think about it for like 5 seconds)

Damn, you should have put the Band/Old World Order on the poll. After all they gave us Kevin Nash v. Dirty Magic Marker Wolf Poc Sweatshirt Hall, c'mon!

MEM

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

The New Church. James Mitchell at his finest.

[Djm Doesn't Find You Funny]

Main Event Mafia was the nail in the coffin of pretty much everything I liked about TNA.

On this list, Team Canada.

Whats up with the MEM hate? The follow thru got lost in the Hogan/Bischoff transition otherwise the impact is exactly what they were after.

Boost the show profile with the big names together (Angle, Booker, Sting Nash ect.)
Put them at odds with the younger TNA talent and give them the rub. World Elite was firmly put over by Angle and MEM when MEM disbanded but they didn't follow thru. AJ became a world Champion as a direct result of his being the leader of the TNA guys against MEM.
I dunno, I liked it, I thought it worked but could have worked better (as all things in wrestling). You all are entitled to your opinions

For awhile, there was this one picture posted when something happened that people liked. It was Team Canada raising their hockey sticks at the church during the Team 3D funeral.

It did feature one of the most unpopular wrestlers in TNA history, A1. I'm not sure where he ranks on the list of the Nasty Boys, Bubba the Love Sponge, Trytan and Lacey Von Erich but he's up there somewhere. I didn't mind A1 myself. He was from Newfoundland too, and I thought it would be awesome if he did a Newfie gimmick, though a very small portion of the audience would get it.

Living as close to canada as I have for these last few years, I have come to appreciate "newfie" humor. As to A1, I was indifferent. I was so new to TNA I never cared one way or the other. Bobby Rhoode and Showtime have done well for themselves and I wish Petey was still around. Petey was the most featured member of Team canada and his finish is IMO the greatest single move in the history of pro wrestling. I am sure that the guys who take it know what they are doing and can protect themselves and I am equally sure that Petey can rtect them, but it looks scarry and dangerous to old pro's and I believe that may be a small part of why he is no longer on the roster.

I watched Petey's shoot interview. The way the move is done, Petey takes most of, if not all the impact, which actually makes the move more dangerous to Petey in the long run. Plus, most piledrivers can be safe, haha. Back to the topic of shoot interviews, Sean Waltman said that the way to do a safe piledriver is to keep your back straight, and said Aja Kong had the best piledriver he ever saw.
