TNA iMPACT! Wrestling

The WWE will need to change fast!! TNA is the future of wrestling. After spending several years watching and enjoying the WWE product, to be able to be awestruck at the level of commitment and ability of these competitors astonishes me! Not only are the story lines and characters more believable, the addition of wrestlers from the independent circuit (Styles, Daniels, Dutt etc.) but make better use of the former superstars of the WWE and WCW brands (Jarrett, Raven, Hardy, Killings) The X division is also a refreshing change to the face of wrestling and a smaller roster makes for a tighter, well constructed show!! Excellent work!

I watch impact wrestling every Sunday night at 9pm and i have found it to be a lot better than WWE because of the talent and the story. One thing I would like to change is; the show needs to be more explosive and showy, they need Pyrotechnics, more big screens and more lights (profile spots .etc) The show is generally very good at using the talent and i'm loving the six sided ring! It is more 'realistic' than WWE and others, as it looks like they are using a bit of MMA in the wrestling, this makes it seem kind of real sometimes, like they use all kinds of 'real life' submissions and they have MMA style striking. But the only drawbacks are the size of the shows and how they put it on.

IMPACT on AXS is a consistent show, which is the best compliment I can say about it. It's a consistent show week to week, but there has not been a significant turnaround. Some of the content is derivative from the WWE. Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan are clearly a rip-off of Sasha Banks. Kylie Rae's happy-go-lucky gimmick is blatantly ripped-off from Bayley. And The Rascalz logo is derived from the New Day's logo and colors. IMPACT has given Ken Shamrock a second career as a wrestler and the creative team didn't tinker with Tenille Dashwood's gimmick too much; it's the same as her character in the WWE. But the fans who gush over IMPACT on Twitter and Freakin' Awesome Networks are paid IMPACT employees who aren't legitimate fans.

TNA is freaking awesome! AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, Christian Cage, Samoa Joe, and many more. And now Kurt Angle. WWE is not nearly as cool as it used to be. Except for Raw, it's still OK but Smackdown and ECW are kinda lame. ECW is not extreme at all anymore and the ECW originals are just the whipping boys for the new comers. There might be 10 to 15 wrestlers tops in WWE that are cool but the whole TNA roster is cool. Except for Shark Boy. I hate that guy. And WWE has a horrible tag team division and TNA has the best tag team division in the world. TNA does a lot cooler moves that WWE won't do. If AJ went to WWE he couldn't do any of his moves. TNA is just all around better and Bound for Glory was better than all of the WWE PPVs I've seen all year. TNA! TNA! TNA!

TNA 2002 2009 9/10 TNA 2010 2013 7/10 Perhaps 2007 has been their best season. There have been seasons where the characterizations of their personas has been great, and their extra ring was at the same levels as the in ring quality. What was great was their innovative style mixing strong style and high flying moves with great TV production, they had great teams, the X Division, innovative gimmick matches like the Ultimate X, the King of the mountain match, hardcore matches, and at one point they introduced the women's division which for the American wrestling standards at that time, has been innovative too, they even introduced the women tag team's titles. Jeff Jarrett is the founder,their best products over the years have been AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Abyss, Awesome Kong, Daniels, Gail Kim, Monty Brown, Hernandez, James Storm, Bobby Roode, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Low Ki, Austin Aries, Petey Williams,Kazarian and their best acquisitions over the years have been Sting, Jeff Hardy, Jerry Lynn, Kurt Angle, Christian, Team 3D, Rhyno, Scott Steiner, Elix Skipper, Kevin Nash, Booker T, Mick Foley (he should have been in there as manager for other years) RVD(It would have been awesome if he would have been hired even before 2010, like in 2006 2007). Thanks to Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter, Vince Russo, Dutch Mantell, Jim Cornette, Scott D'Amore, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan. In 2017 they had a good momentum again with the GFW, they had deals with other international promotions. Other great acquisitions over the years Lashley, The Wolves, Matt Sydal, Moose. At one point they had a title based on points.
