[4.0] "Sponsor reduced the time of matches. Too many backstage promos and segments, them were okay and AJ appearance was GREAT, but TOO MUCH! The first match was okay, but TNA use to book Order 4 as boxsacks? The faction can be something special. The second match is a decent match on a weekly show, but too much interferences and some boring minutes. The main event was great, but could be better than this. TNA can do better things, they just lazy AF"

[2.0] "I attended live and this was my first TNA show that I've watched in full. I thought it would be a great intro to TNA for me, but it just wasn't. Seeing AJ and the Hardys so early was fun but then it was a slow crawl to the last match, which was the only highlight of the night. Crowd was, on the other hand, great and I had a lot of fun with them. Zilla Fatu was on hardcam side, not sure if he was shown on TV. Now, the only match that was worth a damn, the main event, was pretty fun, not the best match in-ring or with storytelling, but it was good ENOUGH for us to have a good time, but I'll likely never think about this match again after Genesis. As a newer fan to wrestling, TNA is what I thought AEW was, just WWE but worse with a few notable names sprinkled in. Fun show, just not a good show."

[8.0] "It is clear I'm the minority, but I've been enjoying TNA for a long time now, and this debut was a lot of fun as a weekly Impact viewer. Maybe the fact that I watched with my friends made me more positive about it that if I had watched all by myself, but the AMC debut was absolutely satisfactory, we liked the matches, and had fun with the promos. (Spoilers) The signing of Elayna Back didn't interest much, but TNA has managed to turn people I thought where not going nowhere into absolute must watch. Santana, post AEW Hardys, Ash by Elegance, are great examples of this, so I'm optimistic about it, specially considering she was actually getting better before being let go of NXT. Daria Rae, on the other hand, seems to have been signed as an authority figure, which she seems quite good at and could play a pretty good fool to Santino's upbeat right by the middle management."

[5.0] "Far from the worst televised wrestling product (even within the last 6 months) but unfortunately also nowhere even close to great. There was some good action but just not enough on it. Some really enjoyable character work was countered with poorly executed and often questionable segments. It was a real mixed bag and absolutely not what a first show for potential new fans should be, but it was nowhere near the absolute disaster that some may want you to believe,"

[7.0] "7, 5 "As the first episode of the new television deal with AMC it was a good episode, TNA has been having more and more success since it no longer collaborates with AEW, it is a positive partnership that is helping them a lot on a media level.""

[2.0] "A really disappointing start on AMC. Three matches, only one decent, Kazarian vs Santana, the rest must go in the trash. The other matches are not good, the production is bad. Positives: Debut of Eleyna Black, arrival of Daria and return of the world title to Mike Santana."

[0.0] "Holy hell this company might be doomed. No I don't care that Mike Santana is champion because he should've won the belt in July let alone him losing it on his first appearance after BFG. People missed the show because of Visa issues. How do you not sort that out beforehand? The matches here were embarassing. That Perez Hilton one may be in contention for the worst one of the year. TNA got rid of the rascalz and in return they got...Elayna Black and...Sonya Deville...? Such a sad promotion. The only positive here is that Leon Slater will likely be on smackdown facing Carmelo tomorrow since he isn't on genesis. EDIT: I was right."

[3.0] "Extremely disappointing. Biggest opportunity they've had in years and it ended being a complete nothing burger of a show. Odd production choices, unnecessary celebrity appearances and a lack of matches. The main event was ok at best but felt nothing when Santana won back the title. I was glad there weren't any post match shenanigans...but that was until I found out later on that the show continued for another few minutes with Nic Nemeth. The build for their PPV was posted online which was a really odd choice and made it seem like they ran out of TV time considering there were only 3 matches. Haven't watched TNA in years and it was sad to see the state this company is in."

[0.0] "What should have been the start of a new era for TNA instead starts with a whimper. It's sad to see the talented roster of TNA continue to fail to be showcased, but if this is a sign of things to come - the future isn't bright for TNA. Main event was okay, but the amount of ads cutting up the action made it hard to enjoy."

[3.0] "This show did, in fact, suck. Horrible pacing and an absurd lack of wrestling. Mismanagement and creative malpractice (no one in those meetings has any clue as to TNAs place in the wrestling world and what will help change perception of the promotion) are to blame."

[4.0] "Unfortunately, this show was simply bad. Yes Kazarian vs Santana was good, but the event was marred by scrapped plans (The IIconics leaving, Slater and Dani Luna being unable to compete at Genesis). And that segment with Dixie Carter? Jesus..."

[3.0] "[3.6] TNA's debut on AMC wasn't a good impression for new viewers. First things first...It's a bad show but it's not bottom of the barrel type of show. This show had a curse put onto it after VISA issues caused a lot of people to miss the show including Leon Slater which caused a cancelled match and ruined plans for Genesis. That being said the matches that are given to us are lacklustre and segment wise it was nothing good either other than Cora Jade and Sonya Deville's debuts for TNA. Another issue was broadcasting hiccups and way too many segments and commericals to fill up the time. Overall, TNA is at it's height of LOLTNA! and it doesn't look like it will get better."

[2.0] "Could you imagine if this was the actual 2nd biggest wrestling company in America? Absolutely disgraceful showing of television that only manages to veer out of Hero's of Wrestling tier horror due to the fact that there are decent workers on the show. If you're only going to have three matches on a television show you better hope and pray to God that your segments are good, and they weren't. RIP TNA."

[1.0] "So many issues here I don't even know where to begin. Three matches over an hour and a half is crazy - No Leon Slater as billed because WWE wanted him for their European Tour, Way too much plugging of 'celebrities' who I have never ever heard of, strange shots of said celebrities with rows of empty seats behind them including the Ryan Nemeth spot which was cringe worthy trash taken from WWE's dark days, bland matches, a silly screwy finish to the tag-match, and finally a botch-fest of a main event. Way to debut the product to a new audience. I think it'll take something very special for me to consider watching this again, because it feels like a complete waste of time. On the plus side, Jeff was sober."

[1.0] "The most accurate statement I saw of this show was someone saying that TNA watched the RAW debut on Netflix episode and decided to replicate it. I mean, maybe it worked. Maybe it hooked some new viewers in. But 3 matches, just over 32 minutes total is absurd. You cannot call yourself "Total NONSTOP Action" with THREE matches. I respect the idea of trying to shove as many characters onto a debut episode as possible to showcase a wide array of wrestlers, but woof...this was embarrassing. The only redeemer of the night was the main event and even that seemed very obviously rushed at the end of it. I like Santana, I think him being the top guy in TNA is great for him and I like Kazarian, I think he's a perfectly fine wrestler nowadays, but if you're gonna have a 48 year old guy on the main event of your premiere episode, he's gotta be at the top of his game or at least look like a big deal. Also just some of the segment ideas were awful and production was bizarre. Showcasing legends, celebs, wrestlers, that's fine, whatever. Showcasing them with EMPTY SEATS behind them is insane. I am going to try and give them the benefit of the doubt, might tune in for next week's episode, but that might be my limit."

[5.0] "It wasn't the best, but it also wasn't the worst either. I just feel like they could've delivered a much stronger show, especially considering this was their first episode on AMC. It felt like a regular episode of iMPACT,"

"Well the show wasn't that bad but it wasn't great or even good either. It was okey but nothing more. Certainly did not met expectations for a debut show on a new network. Hopefully Silva & Co will learn from this. Maybe WWE should do a special episode on Unreal about this. At least Santana is champ again"

[0.0] "This was an absolutely horrific show that made the company look absolutely terrible. AJ has already done the whole turning up and doing a promo thing, without the promise of something more who cares? In terms of actual debut's it's hard to get excited by Cora Black and Daria, with all due respect to both, at a time when TNA have lost the likes of Jake Something all of the Rascalz, and now seemingly the IInspiration as well. The heel authority angle has been done absolutely to death and Elayna Black came out to do or say absolutely nothing. The Elegance Brand segment and Ryan Nemeth crotching himself on the barricade were both absolutely embarrassing, I can't imagine why anyone would stick around after either segment. They did a dismal job explaining anything or anyone to potential new viewers. And then In ring was horrific really, only 3 matches on a two hour show, one was terrible, one wasn't very good, both were mercifully short I guess but that contributed to just 8 minutes of wrestling in the whole first hour which is atrocious, and the main event wasn't 'bad' but wasn't good for a 17 minute main event on your debut show on a new network to crown a new champion, actually by those standards it *was* bad, and the finish was an utter, utter mess. Add Dixie Carter being there, so many commercials, Perez Hilton, the "celebrities" they showed with a whole bunch of empty seats behind them, other production flubs etc and this was an absolute fucking disaster. Edit: and I'm now reading they've added stipulations to the Genesis main event based on an angle that happened...after the show went off the air as they ran out of time. Wtf is with this company."

[6.0] "Fine show that did not start fresh but continued to build the genesis stories while introducing the new fans to each division. 2 title changes going into what looks to be an interesting ppv on saturday. I enjoyed all three matches even though I was not blown away by them. A few live moments did not go perfectly however I kind of like the grittyness of that fact. I have not missed TNA in 5 or 6 years and this episode was right in line with what I would expect on a thursday night going forward."

"Even though I don't watch or keep up with TNA, as a pro wrestling fan I wanted to give it a chance. Unfortunately, their premiere episode didn't hook me. The only positives were seeing AJ Styles (even though his role was limited) and the announcement of Elayna Black. Besides that, the show fell flat. I'm not a tribal fan, so I genuinely want TNA to succeed. I may not be hooked yet, but I'll still be hoping for their success. I don't want to be too harsh, so I'll give this one a 3 out of 10."

"[1.0] I was really looking forward to this episode, as I am a subscriber to TNA+ and have been watching the PPVs/special events and Impact Wrestling episodes leading up to this. To keep things brief, the episode was the wrestling equivalent of Spinal Tap's Shark Sandwich album, which per This is Spinal Tap, had a simple review that just said, "Shit Sandwich." I was hoping they would hit it out of the park and have a great first showing on AMC. Instead, the production with full of issues, the endless segments were poorly executed, and you had talent just sitting around while they comment on the "Visa issues" all night. The episode was was good at all from start to finish. If it weren't for the historical content on TNA+ (ie, Asylum years, all or most of the Impact episodes, previous PPVs/Special Events), I'd consider cancelling my subscription. Justin Lyons was a great guitarist whom I'd never heard of, it was nice to see Dixie Carter (sorry, but I am a fan, and it was unfortunate that she was booed), and Lei Ying Lee looked great. Other than that, yikes. Not a great first showing, guys."

[3.0] "This was a very weird show. I know they had visa issues for some talent, but you have to adapt. This is the big premiere where you have to show out in front of a larger-than-usual audience, and they didn't. I don't know how many people would have seen this as their first ever TNA episode and want to keep watching. Some of the production upgrades were good, but they did have multiple issues. There was barely any wrestling (the first 2 matches had commercial breaks). They spent more time hyping up random celebs (why was Perez Hilton even out there? ). They also had a few slightly weak debuts. The saving grace was the main event, which had its own issues. This show just felt like Carlos Silva was trying to be like WWE, but can't even get that right (the WWE-like producer credits at the end made me laugh). The craziest thing is that TNA will probably have a long run on AMC because this company keeps failing upwards (due to WWE telling their fans to support TNA). Just bring back Scott D'Amore and actually build up the TNA identity again, because this was not very good."

[0.0] "I don't understand the format of this show, what they were trying to highlight or if they were even trying something at all. The production was really bad all night, starting from the AJ Styles entrance where the music didn't hit until 10/15 seconds from showing the on the screen, making that entrance seems awkward. They also did a lot of shots to famous people on the crowd, showing a lot of empty seats during the process. The wrestling wasn't bad, but not enough quantity for a two hour show. Why was the six man the opener and not a high energy X Division match? I prefer not to talk about the Ryan Nemeth and The Elegance Brand promos... I was a huge TNA fan for like ten years (2009-2021), but I didn't watch a lot the past few years. This was a missed opportunity for them and I'm not happy about that."

[4.0] "Not horrible, but definitely not good either. I don't understand how TNA chose to do this for a premiere show on AMC, like, WHY? The only real match was Santana vs. Kaz and the only match that had the potential to be actually good was Reed vs. Slater (And unfortunately it didn't happen). TNA's worst enemy is TNA, simple as that."

[1.0] "Tuned in to TNA for the first time in a long time out of curiosity for a big new show and wow this was bad. I get that there was some stuff that came up that messed up their plans and I do feel sorry for the production crew, but the end product the we the viewer were given was still absolutely painful to sit through and the management of this company still deserves to be raked across the coals for it. Even then, stuff like having fucking Perez Hilton on your show instead of just letting your wrestlers go out and entertain in good, decent length matches just makes you look third-rate. Though given how awful the match between The Elegance Brand and The IInspiration was maybe they wouldn't have worked either. Nice to see AJ in TNA again at least, even though there was some classic TNA production botches. Never change, TNA. No one "forced" me to watch this, though, and I'm simply judging the product that was presented to me as truthfully as I see it. And it truly sucked."

[2.0] "I won't rate this show to be 0 or 1 like most of them have done here because I'm not familiar with the product so I don't think I can rate if fairly as average TNA watcher. With that being said, this is the first time I have watched TNA since 2021 or 2022 and seems like they haven't changed at all. Their shows still feels lifeless and most of the segment and even matches were confusing here. Santana Vs Kaz was fine with a very weird finish. I think their partnership with Fed have made them feel like Developmental Brand of NXT. Elayna Black in NXT didn't work so she's back for TNA. Reminds me a lot of Samoa Joe returning to NXT after failed Main Roster run. I don't get how TNA Admins and Fans can pretend everything is fine (if they do) when the promotion they partnered with had one of their Champions perform for their shows instead of having him for one of the most important night for TNA. This show doesn't excite me to watch it next week or watch their upcoming PPV. This is one of the Worst Wrestling Show I have ever seen. Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho and few other podcast guys unintentionally did Bad PR for TNA with talks of #2 Promotion. Everyone should stop itm Instead TNA should go back to their roots on what made them special and bring them back though it feels impossible. Bring Back the focus on Prime Era X-Division In Ring Action and even bring back 6 Sided Ring and maybe that'll get some fans to tune in who wants to just enjoy a good Wrestling show instead of absolutely boring Talky segments"

[0.0] "The worst wrestling show I have ever seen. A borderline parody of a professional wrestling show. This is something I would book if I were trying to get a television show off the air. Everyone who was involved in producing the show needs to take a serious look in the mirror and realize nothing that they produce can ever be as bad as what took place last night again, or the reality is, they will find themselves off the air and out of business. Unfortunate and a true happening for all of the wrong reasons."

[2.0] "This was pretty horrible. I haven't watched TNA in several years, but the AMC debut piqued my interest enough to tune in. Good lord, what dull trash. Production was miserable, the segments were way too long and too many of them, THERE WERE COMMERCIALS EVERY TWO MINUTES, and there was barely any actual fucking wrestling. And the wrestling there was on the show was average to awful. I fully thought Santino was fired by The Suit, but then he just pops back up and keeps doing exactly what he was doing at the start. There was the idiotic segment "summoning" Joe Hendry via a phone call that they don't even answer while Santino looks stupidly astonished. And then that horrendous Elegance segment that died on the vine and just kept going. Did I like anything? Idk, the main event was watchable, with a shit ending."

[0.0] "I have not been a regular tna fan since 2016 but I still watch some shows sporadically. I was really happy that TNA got a new TV deal and I decided to watch their big debut on AMC. It was terrible ! First of all, there was almost no wrestling. The few wrestling matches were bad. The "big" debuts were really underwhelming. It would have been ok if the promos were good but it was not even the case. The production was really amateurish. If this show was a normal show I would have rated it 1/10. As a debut show it deserve a 0/10. ps : Who the fuck is Perez Hilton ?"

"This episode is the equivalent trying to make a good first impression with your partner's parents, and then pissing your pants as you shake their father's hand while maintaining eye contact out of pure embarrassment."

[1.0] "Objectively horrible in every single aspect, failed to do anything that would make anyone want to watch this show every week. The "surprises" were bad workers, and Dixie Carter (lmao). However, it's so bad, it's hilarious, I had fun watching this show, so I just can't give it a 0."

[0.0] "Do you know what, I FULLY intended to come on here and say that everyone was being ridiculous and that this show was fine. Having watched, I can no longer do that. This was a DISASTER in almost every way. Badly paced , badly structured, badly worked matches heavily interrupted by ad breaks sandwiched between poorly written and badly performed promo and backstage segments that only seemed to be outpaced in their awfulness by the contant production issues and terrible structure of the show itself. This was my first weekly TNA show and I am cripplingly disappointed. The final kick in the genitals came when Leon Slater was pulled. 0/10"

[1.0] "Right now there is an AMC executive looking out the window forlornly while The Sound of Silence plays in the background. We start off with what sounds like an AI-generated speech with all sorts of metaphors and platitudes, because of course there is. We then immediately go full LOLTNA with AJ Styles' titantron appearing on the screen but no music playing for like 10 seconds. It's cool to see Styles pop up again in TNA but having your opening segment for your debut on a major cable network feature a 48-year-old WWE guy is definitely a choice. It's really endemic of TNA's entire situation currently, where except for Santana and Slater (who isn't long for TNA) all of their top stars are either WWE guys and/or 40+ (or damn near close enough to it anyway). We move to the first match, which starts with *sigh* Elijah and The Hardys. Please refer to two sentences before this one. I'm still trying to figure out what Order 4, you know, is. Commercial 2 minutes into the match, which was a match. Too many obnoxiously contrived spots to enjoy. I was going to suggest some 12-minute X-Division style singles banger to open the show instead and set the tone but I can't even come up with a good pairing of available wrestlers that hasn't been done to death or who aren't shortly on their way to bigger and better things. Segment ends with The Righteous (barf) ambushing the Hardys and attaching Jeff Hardy to something by his gauge piercings for the ten thousandth time. Over TWENTY minutes of non-wrestling promos in a row, not including commercials. AJ/Kaz backstage confrontation but they forgot to turn on crowd noises for the first half of the segment. LOLTNA. Lots of famous people ringside! Joe Leaphorn! A boxer! Candice Michelle! A bunch of active TNA wrestlers who are... uh... just watching the show in their civvies. k. Haha, Ryan Nemeth hurt his balls! Fukken gottem! Make sure to watch Dark Winds! Sonya Deville is now Daria Rae (no relation to Summer) aka The Shut Up I'm Talking (we have the CEO at home, sweetie) and, while dressed as sparkly sexy cosplay M. Bison, lectures Santino Marella on professionalism. Haha, this woman is CA-RAZY! Aren't women crazy? Elayna Black revealed as newest signee, that's cool I guess. Fucking PEREZ HILTON promo with Elegance Brand, and he's actually the best heel on this show lmao. Reveal of Mr. Elegance, and the fake before and after is honestly hilarious and the only thing I've enjoyed on this show so far. Also hilarious is the visual of 5'10" Jessie McKay ducking a clothesline from 4'9" Heather. The match is bad, because the IIconics are two of the worst female wrestlers in the world today. Cassie Lee attempts a scorpion kick on the, again, FOUR FOOT NINE Heather By Elegance, whose head reaches Cassie's butt when she does the move. Gotta Get Your Shit In, right Cass? Creepy-ass Carlos Silva suddenly shows up so he can put the belt around Heather's waist personally. They REALLY need to rename the Knockouts division. Like, can we not make their physical attractiveness one of the defining traits of the division? LYL's replacement challenger for Genesis is *checks notes* a WWE wrestler. Ha. Didn't Elayna Black just sign with y'all? Just do a DQ finish at Genesis, duh. Cedric Alexander's broke ass can't even afford to replace his phone's cracked screen. The System then come out and Alisha violates our eardrums before Eddie Edw.... zzzZZZZZzzzzZZZ.... oh-- huh? Oh, yeah, Fandango is retiring or something. OK. And of course, what terrible wrestling show isn't complete without the goddamn motherfucking wHaT chants? These people need to be banned from all wrestling events. Carlos Silva introduces Dixie Carter, who welcomes Bully Ray, who is on commentary for the main event. God fucking help us. The main event was good, not great. Both guys are always solid and they benefited from a VERY hot crowd. Obligatory but not unwelcome callbacks to wrestlers from both guys' past. Obligatory but definitely unwelcome old chestnut fuckery with ref bumps and title belt shots. Finish is a total botch job, because of course it is. LOLTNA. And, well, that's the show. I was expecting Nic Nemeth to interfere somehow but he's just totally MIA. You know, just because a company has been around for a long time, even if it's consistently been number two or three in the country its entire run, doesn't mean it's worth investing in. This show had more minutes of commercials than bell-to-bell wrestling action. Being on AMC won't stop TNA from employing an absolutely terrible booker who has somehow managed to fail upwards time and time again. It won't stop TNA from having one young star worth a shit and continually losing talent while relying on the NXT b-team to fill matches. What is TNA going to do once WWE realizes there's no more decent young talent to farm and they end the partnership? The answer is TNA becomes pro wrestling's retirement home and haven for never-weres. If I were not a wrestling fan and decided to tune into this new show on AMC just for the heck of it, there is absolutely no reason I'd want to watch next week. 0.5 rounded up. Hello darkness my old friend... EDIT: I I just found out Nic Nemeth actually WAS on the show for a post-match segment, but after it went off the air. You'll have to watch the segment on their Twitter account I guess. How in THE FUCK do you screw up the timing of a show so badly that your 17-minute match overruns an important 3-minute post-match angle? Like, this has to be on purpose. TNA, from its very inception, has to have been some kind of big prank or social experiment. Nothing else makes sense to me."

"I can run down the entire card of this show match by match but you guys have all done a fantastic job accurately describing this show. All I can say is, TNA presented an inaugural episode that was such absolutely hot garbage, I'm not sure how my television didn't melt. Long live LOLTNA. Then, now, forever"

"This show was truly supposed to be TNA's phoenix-like reincarnation--becoming "reborn", if you will. However, all this show did was become the Play-Doh under the boot of the WWE Machine. And quite frankly, that is putting things lightly. While this is my first-ever comment, this show convinced me that I should begin commenting here much more often. After watching and enjoying professional wrestling for nearly 50 years of my natural life, I've always felt that I've had a reasonable "pulse" on what is an objectively entertaining product. And while I set reasonably high standards for myself, pro wrestling is very fluid. It is performance. It is an artform. And I realize that one person's passion can easily be another person's pittance. However, this show truly pushed me "over the edge", in a sense, where I could bite my tongue no longer. At least, bitten to the stringiness of a social medium's comment section. What followed on the January 15, 2026 debut on AMC was not the confident rebirth TNA boldly promised; it was a muddled first impression that felt uncertain and overly self-conscious. Yes, there were attempts to generate heat and significance--most notably the TNA World Title match between Mike Santana and Frankie Kazazian--but they were too often undercut by inconsistent execution and bizarre creative choices. Take the main event, for example: Santana vs. Kazarian for the TNA World Championship. On paper, that should have been the night's centerpiece--an emotionally charged rematch with real history to it. Instead, what unfolded was a messy back-and-forth with referee bumps, title belt interference, and awkward pacing, where crowd engagement fluctuated wildly. Santana did win and capture the title, but the finale felt as if the producers were afraid to just let the wrestling tell the story. The ref bump and belt shots distracted from what could have been a compelling struggle between two seasoned professionals. Another example: Perez Hilton's appearance during the Knockouts World Tag Team title segment. Like....why? The idea of bringing a non-wrestling celebrity into the fold isn't inherently a bad one--but Hilton's involvement came off as out of place and ultimately more cringe-inducing than memorable. Instead of enhancing the presentation, the segment felt like a 2010-like distraction that had little to do with the flow of the show. And while the card did include some neat highlights--like Elijah & The Hardys defeating Order 4 in the opener, or The Elegance Brand capturing the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships--none of these moments were given enough time or emotional build to land with real weight. Even the returning appearance of AJ Styles early in the broadcast, which should have been a hallmark moment, felt more like a token nod than a meaningful narrative beat. Especially when he opened it up with the line, "I'll keep this promo short cause we got a lotta wrasslin' to do"--which is then followed by an evening with just 34 mins of wrestling ON A TWO-HOUR SHOW. I guess there were positive elements? The crowd rallies with chants of "TNA! " in key spots suggested that with the right booking and pacing, this product can spark interest again. Yet too much of the show seemed to swing between awkward celebrity cameos, oddly-structured segments, and creative choices that felt hesitant rather than bold. Ultimately, this show was a deeply frustrating and painful watch. While Santana and Kazarian proved that the company still housed some world-class talent, the overall booking strategy--emphasizing weak, confusing storylines and nonsensical non-wrestling segments over the in-ring action--was a massive failure. The company needed to rise like a phoenix; instead, it buried itself deeper into the ashes. But The WWE Machine rolls on, barely noticing the smudge it left behind."

[1.0] "If I told you they worked really hard to make an amazing first impression for the debut on AMC, I would be lying. Delirious & Dreamer put on a stinker. It was not without any positives, which is why it's not getting a 0, but boy did it leave you very little hope for the future."

[5.0] "I think, this show was so strongly criticized unfairly. Given the circumstances, TNA's only fault was for overhyping itself throughout and rushing matches that wasn't that bad and weren't significantly inferior in quality to the AEW's work, objectively. Otherwise, it felt like a typical, average TNA weekly show, which usually doesn't hold your interest for long, but the watching experience is fine and flies by quickly enough that you won't have time to get bored."

[1.0] "This was supposed to be a fresh new beginning and TNA putting their best foot forward. Instead, an entire new generation of fans discovered what #lolTNA truly is. Aside from Santana winning the world title everything else was amateur hour levels of bad. If this is the quality of one of their biggest shows in company history, what's a regular show going to be like? Hope they find their way eventually."

[0.0] "LOLTNA evolves into its final form, LMFAOTNA as the promotion slinks into depths of terrible wrestling programming never seen before. Constant commercial breaks, and the Non-Stop Action has come to a screeching halt yet again. A middling opening match followed by segment mania, an awful interference fest for the women's tag belts and a relatively OK on paper main event that is riddled with ads and a botched finish that totals to barely 30 minutes of any wrestling is abysmal. The appearance of Dixie Carter, the involvement of such an irrelevant Z-list celebrity like Perez Hilton, alleged visa/injury issues and WWE stealing Leon Slater away made this show even worse. AMC would be delusional if they found this opening episode on their network to be acceptable television."

[5.0] "Decent show with some good to passable matches and entertaining segments, though very, very understated in terms of what one would expect from a premiere episode. The only real hook for the future was the idea of AJ potentially eyeing the title at some point, which got a huge reaction from the crowd despite happening backstage. Leon Slater was severely needed on this show, and the likes of Dani Luna being unable to be there was a big bummer though (though the reception to Zaruca was very strong)."

[3.0] "My first TNA TV episode in a few years. I won't be checking them out for ANOTHER few years after a show this drab and uninteresting. Embarrassing "Hollywood row, " empty seats on camera, depressing lighting, cringe promos, godawful pacing (This show felt SO. LONG.), bad commercial placement, and 33 minutes of wrestling on a 2-hour show. Nevermind the Russo playbook of wrestlers mentioning "THIS COMPANY" and making shoot comments like "They wrote something else for me at the back." I don't tune into a show to hear the characters talk about how hard everyone works on the show and how important the show is. Don't tell me. Show me. Make me lose myself in something that feels inspired and immersive. This was none of that. Swing and a miss despite a good main event."

[1.0] "TNA is not a brand new company, they've been around for almost 25 years. They've gone from Fox Sports Net to Spike TV to Destination America, PopTV, AXS, to now AMC! They simply should've had a handle on how to handle a new "era". They had ample time to put things together to deliver a bigger and better show and they failed. Nothing on this show felt major or exciting. Everything came off as second rate. More commercial breaks than matches. C-list celebrities nobody has heard of getting involved, irrelevant ones like Perez Hilton apart of one of the worst segments I've ever seen in my entire wrestling fandom. On top of it all they have their supposed "partner" take away the one match I wanted to see and all you get in return is a Rah rah speech from AJ Styles that led to nothing! The Main Event was rushed clunky and botch heavy that you wondered if Kaz & Santana had any chemistry at all during that match. Just baffling decision making all around creating this show. The one thing I did like was all the throwback highlights littered throughout the show of much better days compared to what this company is offering now. Like why were perfectly healthy wrestlers sitting in the crowd instead of wrestling? Wasn't even apart of any angles just making up numbers in the stands sitting next to no name content creators. Just way too much influence from their "partner" that makes TNA look like another extension of them and not an independently owned company."

[4.0] "new era marked by people leaving and visa issues. this ended up being disappointing. I can say the matches weren't bad. go in and just watch them. youre in for a decent time. albeit it depends on where you watch. commercial break seemed to have ruined the matches for my friends. I didnt suffer through them too much. AJ styles promo was cool enough. I hope they let him fight someone instead of just "aj styles set to appear to make another hype promo" It just gets repetitive. so the tease with Frank Kazarian was nice. but then Kazarian lost the belt. disappointing but I think it can still be a fun match to be had. if anything stick a young guy in there for a triple threat. also does TNA not realize that Perez Hilton lost his name recognization a nd weight to it? like a lot of people think hes awful so im confused on him being there. wwe coming in with Zaria and Joe Hendry to help with the visa issues that effected some matches. solidly done. not sure I liked the contract signing just for the surprise of Zaria but im still looking forward to it. the system segment was fine but man did the crowd suck. Im used to bad crowds but on rewatch it looked like not got to Eddie. cant fault him. with all respect to Dixie, she didnt need to come out. literally leave her for non show stuff like the tna hall of fame and shit like that. like having a former terrorist come out to soften the blow of another long time terrorist isn't the smartest thinking. overall not bad, just fairly disappointing. tna should have been firing on all cylinders here but instead were scrambling. still gonna watch as I think its interesting to watch a major wrestling company rebuild. I do have some favorites are here but still. thats the main reason I watch and be kind to them. I can see why others are harsher one thousand percent lol the actual matches aren't bad. some commercial breaks affected them but not bad. it's everything else that felt so rushed. not bad just incredibly disappointing. also im at 5 for my score but Perez Hilton knocks this down."

"Good overall show, especially considering they had to work around a ton of last minute changes out of their control. The six man was good and they made Special Agent Zero look like a monster. Strong main event with the right guy winning. Having AJ Styles and Dixie Carter both on this show was a good nod to the past. The Elegances vs Iinspiration was fine. Again, right people won and they got started with the new Mr. Elegance character."

"This was my first time watching a TNA show, and it did not impress me, to say the least. The sound/lighting issues are understandable, every promotion has them, but there was no effort made to make up for them in the flow of the show or the match quality. The AJ Styles segment was fine, but they could have used this opportunity for a legend of the promotion to put over their talent. He could have gone out there and told us why we need to watch every week, and which wrestlers will carry the torch, but instead, he led an "AMC" chant. (Why? ) .. The Six-Man tag match was good, the Hardy's did great, their entrance was cool, their spots were fine and the Order 4 did their thing, enjoyable overall. The Righteous then attacked the Hardy's after the match and locked Jeff Hardy's ear(? ) to the ring and did two spots with Matt Hardy. I think more could have been done with this. Maybe actually "injure" Matt to build heat. This is one of the many mistakes I noticed with their creative decisions. There was actually a point to sort of "reset" storylines to introduce a new era for TNA, but it lacked creativity, specifically with the women's tag team belts. Why have talent on this show that will not be on TV moving forward? Additionally, why give your future champions a jobber entrance, only to have them cut a confusing promo with Perez Hilton? The match was bad. ( I have nothing else to add to this) This is objectively not a good way to present the talent, the division, and the brand. After forcing myself to sit through about an hour of commercials, 15 minutes of overall OK wrestling, and 15 minutes of horrible promos, it was finally time for the main event title match. Santana vs Frankie Kazarian. The match was good up until the 2 botches and weird finish. I liked the outcome of this match but maybe end it about 2 mins earlier and have Nemeth come out and stare at Santana. Well, that actually did happen... just not on TV, it took place after the show went off air. Again WHY? They did not give me a reason to watch the PPV this weekend or the TV show next week. I hope TNA does better moving forward. I would like to see them succeed, but this one.. it was a whacking miss."

[0.0] "It is some kind of television miracle, or curse, that TNA has been on the air now for 20+ years, has survived so many calamities that would have put other companies out of business years ago, and yet seemingly never learns from those lessons. This show felt like a zombie that simply keeps going - a soulless, honestly boring program that somehow managed to achieve pure TNA levels of absurdity by missteps like trotting out Dixie Carter."

"I'm sorry but I have to give this show a 1. I came into this show wanting to give it a chance, but to say it wasn't any good is being too nice. 3 matches on a 2 hour show, none of which were standout although the main event was somewhat decent, and half the show was commercials. This company has always been largely run by people who have no idea how to make a good wrestling show and this show proved to me this current regime is no different. And I'm sorry, I'm sure Frankie Kazarian is a nice man and I know he's an identifiable figure with TNA, but he has no business in the main events. But at least he dropped the belt to Santana. This show was terrible. One of the worst professional wrestling shows I've ever seen. It felt like watching an episode of 2019 Raw but without any of the really good wrestlers like Seth Rollins on top. Gets a 1 from me for the main event which was decent, the rest was totally unwatchable. If you're gonna make bold claims like "we're coming for that #2 spot! " can you at LEAST give us some good wrestling? I don't think that's too big of an ask."

"I liked it. Different from the TNA of old, but it was a good start. Not many promotions come perfectly hot out of the gate. Some slip ups and strange choices when hoping to grab new fans, but I think it was a decent start to what will hopefully be a great run."

"This show opened with a six man tag team match which felt like we were seeing various WWE wrestlers in different times. This was a good match and a good way to start the Impact on AMC experience, but it all went downhill from there. Endless talking. Pointless segments. People not knowing or caring about Sonya Deville. There were moments when TNA could've pulled out the big surprises, but instead we got more questionable choices. Dixie Carter being booed out of the building was great. Went over like Hulk Hogan's last WWE appearance. The second match of the show was plagued by commercials and just everything going on between TNA and AMC felt like a mess. At one point, AMC didn't even have commercials on but just a screen that said "We'd be right back". Why should a new, potential viewer care about TNA Impact when AMC doesn't seem to? All of this talking and non-wrestling just to go to a main event which at this point feels flat. Commercials cut off the entrances for both wrestlers and we join the match as it starts, when we should've gotten the entrances, intros and the ref holding up the championship to make it all feel as important as it was and not just a throw away match on WWF Superstars. Every time I thought that this show couldn't get worse, they did something like drag out Bully Ray. Does anyone else remember when JDC left WWE years ago and went on a retirement tour? Fun Fact:The only time my son ever fell asleep at a wrestling show was during a JDC match, but yeah, you should definitely care about him retiring. This is not the big, memorable debut on a new network that you'd want if you were TNA. This show will actually likely be remembered for the wrong reasons. As someone who has watched wrestling for over thirty years and loved the glory days of TNA, this was one of the worst shows I have ever seen. I won't be tuning in next week, but will watch the replay if I hear good things."

[0.0] "this show has further cemented Delirious as in my opinion one of the worst bookers in wrestling history. now in fairness, TNA did suffer from visa issues and a match which in hindsight would've made the show better being pulled due to the WWE wanting one of the competitors for it's European tour, however this is your debut on a new network and as such, you want to hit the ground running and leave a good first impression, and what we got instead was a horrifically bad show that may even border into WrestleCrap territory. only 35 or so minutes of actual wrestling on a 2 hour show (not even actual good wrestling at that outside of MAYBE Santana and Kaz), tooooooooooo much talking, angles being DOA, and now apparently they added a stipulation to one of their upcoming matches at the pape AFTER the show when they could've said something about it on the show. LolTNA exists for a reason and quite frankly it's cause of shit like this."
