Man. I thought TNA pretty much took all the faith and love out of their fans for all their bad decisions, bad pay per views, bad booking etc. I mean, ECW for a long time still had loyalty but with Easy E trying to play a heel on twitter and insulting people, despite not being on television, to AJ Styles talking about how shitty the company is, to Dixie Carter saying her top babyface was mediocre, firing Jesse Sorenson, etc. Honestly, the summer of 2012 were three of the best most consistent months of wrestling television aired in quite sometime. Not just "good for TNA," but legit awesome in every way you could measure a wrestling show status. A run like that goes a long way. |

Mhm.
Those month with aries in the world title mix absolutely ruled. I remember listening to a podcast I like, Review-an-Impact, where they're very critical of TNA. They'd been saying "It was good...for TNA" a lot the past few months and than finally one of the hosts goes "You know what? We need to stop saying that. They've been a legitimately good product for months now." It was nice to hear it. I don't think they've touched it since sadly

Without necessarily calling myself a TNA fan (I'm a wrestling fan, first and foremost), I enjoy the product (despite the rough transitional phase it's in right now), and yet these days, I only barely read the TNA boards, whether here or on other big wrestling forums. Heck, I've watched TNA since the Asylum days, but the interwebz has slowly but surely killed my will to talk about the company or the shows on wrestling sites. |

Whoa, wait? Something was done about SOR? Not to harp on it but that sort of sucks. I hope he's not gone. Dude was one of my favorite posters. We disagreed on like, everything but it was sort of nice to get someone with a totally different view on wrestling than me. As for the ACTUAL topic: There's a guy who goes to the theater I go to for pay per views who's like this with ROH. I LIKE ROH and it's really annoying. He isn't gone in that sense, he still posts, he just stepped away from the TNA section for a bit. |

Twist: Super fan was actually AJ Styles
Bonus Twist: Styles was actually working at the Walmart OP visited.

Not just "good for TNA," but legit awesome in every way you could measure a wrestling show status. A run like that goes a long way. I will admit that yes, and I do remember that summer and even that whole Bound for Glory series being very good television. It did have the Aces and 8s lingering in the background though. |

To be fair, at this point people were still intrigued by Aces and Eights. There was a genuine unpredictable aura of mystery around them. The backlash didn't really hit until around No Surrender/Bound For Glory that year. |

I'll respond to stuff and read the TNA board, but the constant "TNA is dying" stuff got tiresome to read, especially with some people being almost gleeful about it |
