What do you miss in TNA

[dlg3000]

Does TNA even have a tag division? Would this be considered a positive TNA thread for a change since there are/were a lot of good things about the company that seem to get overshadowed? By the way, I miss 2005 Samoa Joe....I miss 2009, especially with a hot Women's Division.

Something that always makes me laugh is the fact some fans talk about how good 2005-2006 was and how much they miss it, it really shows how people see things better when they're in the past.

In 05 and 06 nobody was really happy with the way the company was going at least on the internet. Everyone hated Jeff Jarrett, Thought AJ/Daniels/Joe's dominance of the X Division was stale and boring and hated on it.

As for what I miss:

- Affiliation with the NWA (Obviously it was smart for TNA to get it's own belts and make it's own brand but I think the NWA being affiliated with TNA would do a lot for them, not so much TNA though)

- Kevin Nash (I think Kevin Nash's best run in wrestling ever was in TNA. So much quality, Kings of Wrestling was awesome, Feud with Jarrett was great, Feuding against the X-Division, Main Event Mafia all great stuff)

- Former WWE guys all the time (Back in like 05-07 if someone was released from WWE odds are they'd turn up in TNA at the end of their 90 day clause, this is significantly rarer now)

- The "Underdog" feeling (When I first found TNA in 05 it was just before the Spike deal and I watched highlights on their website. Being a fan back then made you think you were supporting the little guy in the fight, These days TNA is seen as more on par with WWE compared to back in 2005)

- Jeff Jarrett (I don't care what anyone says but Jeff Jarrett is talented and a draw. The man is a great heel and doesn't get enough credit from the Internet Wrestling Community for what he has done for TNA or how good he is)

You must have been on a different internet to me then. The forums I went on around 05/06 were adoring the product. In fact most were convinced that TNA was not far away from challenging WWE's #1 spot WCW style. Of course that never came to fruition but it shows that people were positive about it. I'm sick of this idea that if you love something that is in the past it's all rose coloured glasses. Just watch in a few years people will be trying to tell me how last years Summer of Punk wasn't that good and it's just rose coloured glasses.

Honestly? I miss some of the mild incompetence that used to run rampant. I mean, you want a company to succeed, but at the same time, when they were not only not on the ball, but actively being chased by it, they were absolutely /hilarious/.

I also miss the Knockouts Division I got a glimpse of before Hogan came in.
