Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)

[2.0] "There was never a point even during the peaks when TNA wasn't completely hamstrung by its creative. There was a point in time wherein the talent was there, in spades, and what great storylines were forged in that time? What do we all remember from TNAs golden years? Not any of the good, my friends bring up and mention Aces and Eights, Hardy having an unrealized run, Hulk Hogan being a geriatric. A.J. was always fantastic. Kurt Angle became one of the best in the world in TNA. Joker Sting offered a new way to see a legend have some fun. It was an important place that never, ever even seemed like it was trying to be more than that. They coasted on the talent. But that TNA would at least be worthy of a 6 or 7. This TNA has been unwatchable for what has been years now. Every great thing that was here from a few years ago has passed on. Maclin competing in MLP last I saw, Hendry gone, etc etc. The invasion/partnership angle was the worst attempt at a thing like that I've ever seen despite the initial excitement it brought. And the revamped weekly show is really quite bad. The first show was notoriously bad but I'd argue it hasn't gotten much better. The world title picture is a muddled joke, the midcard doesn't seem to conistently matter anymore, it's all a disaster. I don't know how they'll survive another decade, I'll be honest, it doesn't make sense to me that a product this bad is so conistently bailed out but I'm glad it is if it means more places for folks to work. I'm impressed by how long TNA has survived but it is a miracle and not because of their own good work. With that length of stay in this industry TNA should have no lack of legacy. Yet they do, they are the biggest nothing-burger, canned-air product one could ever invest in. Completely useless in every way."

[9.0] "TNA is a promotion I will always have a soft spot for. The company has played an important role in shaping modern wrestling and has helped create or elevate countless talents. TNA still has a unique place in the wrestling landscape, and when everything clicks, it can deliver a product that feels genuinely different and worth watching."

[3.0] "This rating is based on their 2002-2010 run. One of the things they've suffered with through the entire time I watched was failing to create an identity to for themselves, they were anti-WWE but never met a former WWE wrestler they didn't want to sign. They claimed to be an alternative but were very much the same brand of sports entertainment, lots of angles, long promos, and a lot of shenanigans with match finishes, including 10+ people running in during a single match. The weekly PPV era is bad, this is in part due to the format, televised wrestling is historically used to build to a big a show, but when there is no big show, you're left with the impossible task of hyping up the next show while making sure people feel like they got their money's worth on the current show. This isn't helped by their obsession to air out backstage politics from late WCW in an attempt to get an angle going. That said any match with AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn or Low Ki is worth watching, as are most matches with Raven or Sabu. When they switched over to the TV and monthly PPV format things got a lot better, with 05 being their best year, 06 is also worth a watch. Their obsession with hiring and pushing WWE talent only becomes more obvious all the time. There's no reason to get invested in a TNA original when they're just one big, or even mediocre signing away from getting bumped down the card. That said, this hurt them less if you're rewatching, you know the current state of TNA, it's hopeless, so when they book Jerry Lynn vs Sean Waltman it's less of two old guys taking up a spot they could be using to get young talent over, and instead becomes a fun little addition to their early 90s indie work. Shit hits the fan when Hogan signs, they get rid of the 6 sided ring, which I honestly don't even care about, but it's so obvious they did it just so it would feel like they were doing something and not because it would make the show better or worse. Hogan and Bischoff very much became the Stephanie McMahons of TNA, stirred all the shit, drained all the heat, and rarely got any sort of on screen comeuppance."

"Can't believe TNA fans haven't gone postal or something with so many releases, lately. First, it was Dani Luna, Myla Grace, E.Y. and Steve Maclin. Now it's Mara Sade and Mike Santanna. No wonder the writers are building the show around The System (who I don't hate, by the way). They seem to be the only talent who will actually stick around. But why is that? This exodus is discouraging."

"Gonna leave only comments on promotions since its too hard to rate promotions, personally, due to a variety of reasons such as how every company has its highs and lows (for the most part) and it's hard to balance out. Before I start, I want to make it clear that I don't consider myself a supporter of promotions as I think that support should be directed towards the talent no matter what, tribalism is lame. Positives: The X-Division was cool, Jeff Jarrett was open minded to different styles of wrestling, the women were allowed to be wrestlers during a time when the women were either strictly eye candy or bathroom breaks, I did like the whole nature of anything can happen, the best 3 way/triple threat match of all time happened on their Unbreakable 2005 PPV, Kurt Angle's debut was one of the sickest moments in wrestling, the company did provide a platform for misused talent to showcase what they were made of and ended up raising their stocks, the company has their full library on their streaming service and has most of their classic PPVs uploaded in full on YouTube (which is sad that a lot of other companies can't say this). Negatives: The name is a joke, Jeff Jarrett's reign of terror (I love you Double J, but even I can't defend that period), Dixie Carter might be the worst to ever be in charge of a wrestling company, Vince Russo plagued this company from day 1, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff worsened this company, so many terrible booking decisions (to the point that "LOLTNA" became a thing), has had a identity crisis before, management and creative has been a clusterfuck for goodness knows how long, has tried too hard to stand out (Reverse Battle Royal, anyone? ), asked AJ Styles to take a 60% pay cut, have screwed over their talent when they get injured whether it's firing them while hurt or not paying their medical bills, see Jesse Sorensen and Daffney, this company deadass allowed Jeff Hardy to wrestle in the main event while high. (I'm sure there's more, but you get the point). Overall and current thoughts: I couldn't care less about this company, currently as it seems to be a total dumpster fire from what I have heard from fans online. I'm not a TNA fan tbh, but I do think 2005-2007 were decent periods that did feature and showcase some good wrestling from time to time. Again, there's aspects of it that I adore and think are amazing and deserve respect and recognition, but my goodness, can this company be fucking awful. From some of the worst business practices a company can make that comes off as down right evil to the dumbest booking ideas, I honestly struggle to be a fan due to so many factors. But I do think a company like TNA is necessary in the world of professional wrestling, I just wish that people like Dixie Carter, Eric Bischoff & Vince Russo were not allowed anywhere near the company and we lived in a time that Dutch Mantel, Jeff & Jerry Jarrett were able to run the company together and make it successful, but we can only dream..."

"3/10: It's beyond obvious that TNA has a vast & impressive backlog of PPVs that will leave a viewer satisfied more often than not, with numerous ultra-fun wild-card workers having found themselves in the promotion at one point or another, including Alan Angels, Low Ki, EC3, Spike Dudley, Thom Latimer, & more. However, as a fan of the promotion, I'm no longer of the faith that TNA presently wishes to expand, get better, or put cognizant effort into weekly TV in any way. The NXT partnership is a non-factor. Their roster is dollar-store-printing-paper thin, with feuds going on for ages beyond their expiration dates. Reigns are almost never brought to matches on weekly TV, & even when they are, they're never must-watch affairs. Carlos Silva is a non-wrestling-fan whom only wishes to sell the company to make money. Anthem doesn't value the brand anymore. Tommy Dreamer was supposedly holding talent back but the weeklies haven't gotten a step better since he left, indicating that Delirious is the one to blame for the poor state of things. The International Title was a completely unnecessary replacement for the Digital Media Title, which was in & of itself quite useless. Promising new-hires like Bear Bronson, Bill Collier, BDE & Ricky Sosa are limited to a fruitless tag-team reign that means nothing at best, finding unnecessary slotting into an unneeded stable, or weeks upon weeks of absence from television at worst. The state of the Knockout's division is dismal, with people like Xia Brookside, Harley Hudson, Cora Jade & Indi Hartwell better off doing anything else. People like Joe Hendry, Mike Santana or Steve Maclin come along, & the company destroys their momentum with awful booking. Apollo Crews appeared at Slammiversary & hasn't had a single match in a month. Make it make sense. What harm would it have done to have allowed Leon Slater to become the longest-reigning X Division champ of all time? What harm would it have done to have simply booked Santana's reign appropriately? What harm would it have done to book AJZ as the badass, menacing heel he is? What harm would it have done to book Lee Ying Lei as anything more than an ineffective, underwhelming non-factor?"

[0.0] "After 2013, (and that's being generous), TNA has been an unserious company with little to offer in terms of an alternative because they follow WWE's exact formula for feuds, tv, and ppv. Another user here referred to them as WWE's double A affiliate and if you know baseball, that's a perfect analogy. Although, TNA is more like low A rookie ball right now. In fact, it's probably being a little generous considering the huge drop in TNA's attendance and popularity in the last two years after working hard to win some fans back. Those that are left are loyal and I'll give them that but sometimes the sunk cost fallacy needs to be examined."

"I always have such high hopes for this brand but it is permanently letting me down. Some of the signings are brilliant like Ricky Sosa and I hope they start pivoting to signing younger indy talent instead of washed up wwe mid carders. I want TNA to be this strong third brand and hope the recent behind the scenes changes actually make a difference."

[6.0] "Despite TNA having a somewhat infamous reputation, this is an example of what happens when a promotion defies all odds that were stacked against it despite having various owners and bookers from the Jarretts to Dixie Carter, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Billy Corgan, Vince Russo, and Scott D'Amore. The promotion has also helped with the popularity of several big name wrestlers including CM Punk, Ron Killings, AJ Styles Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, EC3, Abyss, the Motor City Machine Guns, James Storm, Caleb Konley, Frankie Kazarian, the Hardys, Joe Hendry, and more along with bringing in international talent like the Great Muta, Nosawa, Kenny Omega, Jushin Thunder Liger, Will Ospreay, Lei Ying Lee, Drew McIntyre, and Kazuchika Okada and former WWE and WCW talent like Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Sting, Ric Flair, AJ Francis, Nic Nemeth, Mustafa Ali, Chavo Guerrero, Matt Cardona, Mr. Anderson, Tommy Dreamer, and more. Also, gotta point out that their use of celebrity guests was also fitting as some of them were promoters like NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler and the rap group, the Insane Clown Posse. However, that's not to say the promotion has had its faults. Impact Zone eating into their budget (they weren't making any money from taping at Universal Studios and thank God they are doing tapings on the road), AMC TV deal going wrong, the whole debacle with Hogan and Bischoff, firing Scott D'Amore, and many more issues. The promotion seems to have its times where it looks like it is ready but somehow tries to kill the momentum in the long term. Thankfully, their taping schedule allows for wrestlers to take indie bookings and at times get more over than they were in TNA at the time."

[4.0] "They're okay mainly because they have had many bad moments and good moments here and there. If you said that TNA is the laughing stock of pro wrestling, I wouldn't disagree. I want to see them succeed as a good company but it feels like they dont even try enough to be the best. Once Scott D'Amore took control of the company, there was hope that Impact would thrive into a new era because of how well he booked the shows and how good the matches were under his booking. Once that started, they fired him, and ever since then, TNA has been going through the same up's and downs as they did before."

[5.0] "[5.2] TNA is a lifeless shell of what it once was and my pick for the worst promotion of 2025 and possibly 2026. The NXT partnership seems to be putting new eyes onto TNA but also taking away as NXT talent is pushed more than TNA making TNA look like a joke... They are pretty inconsistent or downright lazy most of the time. Weeklies are average or flat-out boring and PPVs don't really mark anything. They get close to rebuilding themselves and then crap the bed with terrible booking decision after terrible booking decision. You can see that going into 2026 with the terrible AMC debut and a terrible Genesis PPV and overall bad stories. Overall, I think TNA is gonna get worse in 2026."

[8.0] "TNA as a promotion is a rather odd duck. On one hand, it served as a catalyst for wrestlers who were either cast aside by WWE, or had their first taste of TV exposure coming from the indies. On the other hand, TNA was at one time, UNWATCHABLE! With creative being the number one reason why, there were times when people were just showing up and collecting a paycheck and TNA was phoning it in. Since probably the late 2010's into now, TNA has actually become a lot better returning back to their true form. In their heyday, they had AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Eric Young, Gail Kim, ODB, Awesome Kong, etc. There was also other times in the bad stretches, they seemed like WCW 2000 Jr."

[7.0] "TNA has had a long history in the wrestling business. Starting off as an NWA off-shoot and becoming the 3rd largest promotion in the USA. The product at the moment is hit or miss for me personally. Sometimes it's incredible action and other times it's sloppy or just not good. I also think the overreliance on NXT talent as well is a bit much. Giving NXT talent TNA titles so often just doesn't sit right as TNA talent rarely ever hold NXT titles. I feel TNA will continue to shine however but they should focus on the future of their promotion first and the younger guys they have."

[7.0] "A company with a long and notorious history of being just bang average when the potential was so much bigger. Right now, TNA is a good promotion, albeit that is also because of their partnership with the WWE. Am I a fan? I mean, I guess; I don't know for sure. What I do know, however, is that the company is fun to watch and even follow on a weekly basis."

[5.0] "This company is like a cockroach, it never seems to die. Despite having great matches and feud's, they love bad decisions. If I had to describe TNA in 1 sentence, it's "1 step forward, 2 steps back.""

[4.0] "TNA has had some bright moments and produced some of wrestlings top stars, but this company has done some bad stuff. They've make some awful booking decisions over their 20+ years and so much more that it's not even funny. The storylines they've done, the matches they've produced, the gimmicks they've created, the drama onscreen & behind the scenes is ridiculous. Like I said, they've had bright moments, but some of the bad moments overshadows them and they've been given the infamous nickname (LOLTNA)"

[2.0] "This company is nothing compared to what it was 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. At one point TNA was a valid competitor and was a strong company with many talents. Now it is just used as a doormat for NXT to walk all over. No relevance to what is going on in the wrestling world. TNA always feels like a company that has been way behind the ball and is years behind being able to catch up to anyone else. Sad because they really had someone going for them Dixie carter back then and then TKO now drove these guys into the mud."

[0.0] "TNA has become unwatchable ever since post bound for glory 2024. It started when they brought back a controversial name but then the creative quality got even worse. They took too long to pull the trigger on Joe Hendry and his momentum cooled down by the time he won. They gave almost every title to someone in WWE, they had matches end in the worst way possible during their biggest shows of the year. Their roster is getting worse and worse and they are on track for disaster. The partnership with WWE has been a complete scam. Who have they signed from WWE? WWE got Joe Hendry, Jordynne Grace, Naomi, and probably Leon Slater. TNA gets Indi Hartwell and Mara Sade...?"

[7.0] "I love total nonstop action wrestling. the hate it gets by a lot of elitist critics is stupid, impact in 2012-23 was such an underrated roster as well with mike Bailey etc and all the crossover ppvs they did with NJPW were always fun and awesome. they were definitely on wwe's level during there time in the dumps"

[8.0] "I loved TNA back in the day. Especially the NWA-TNA days. When they went to Fox Sports Net i was still hanging on, I was pumped on the product between then and maybe 2009. I gave up on the company when Abyss attacked RVD backstage with Janis. RVD was covered in blood and had to be stripped of the belt. By the time he returned he was feuding with Jeff Hardy and his return match was the same show they crowned a new world champion. My intelligence was insulted and I never went back, that is - untill 2021 when Josh Alexander beat Christian for the belt. I was really into the product for the following 2 years but i have since kind of fallen off again. I'm giving TNA an 8 because it saved my fandom after WWE disappointed a teenage version of me in 2006. But by 2011 I was doneski. I still love wrestling but I prefer the old stuff! I am just glad TNA is still around and things are looking up for them."

[5.0] "Very conflicted. They can be the best of the best and the worst of the worst at different times. 2006 TNA was just built different and 2007-2008 had loads of great stuff too. But the Dixie, Hogan and Bischoff years were TORTURE. They've made some of the most bone-headed decisions in the past and treated their talent awful, but I do have some good memories of them."

[4.0] "A good storyline can help paper over the cracks of a roster that can't wrestle for shit, but as it turns out, not even the best talent in the world can make up for terrible booking. Which is pretty much the story of TNA during its "good parts", because whilst it saw the best in talents like Christian Cage, provided a new home for Sting and Kurt Angle to flourish, and even made AJ Styles and Samoa Joe absolute stars, it had to contend with chronic mismanagement at a comedic level. At best, TNA was insecure about being number two -- remember the Voodoo Kin Mafia? -- but at its worst, it provided us with slop that just made people remember the fall of WCW in the late 1990s (unsurprisingly, because the creative minds behind that fall, in Bischoff and Russo, spent several jars of coffee there for over a decade). You'd think that changes in ownership, writers, or talent would change that over time, but if the recent NXT invasion has proven anything, they still will happily shoot themselves in the foot, again and again and again, in the name of heat. Every step forward -- such as the Broken Hardys or having one of the best women's division in America during the pandemic -- is accompanied by two steps back because TNA, no matter who's in charge, doesn't know what they're doing. And so it's come to this, where their position above much more entertaining promotions is because they have rich owners that are somewhat happy with them as a loss leader. But in the end, their glory days are long past them, and they don't have the ability or the drive to climb back up the mountain. They might delude themselves into thinking they're the number two promotion, but only in that they're shit from an ass. The only saving grace is that they're not as comically mismanaged as the NWA."

[1.0] "Every time this company finally gets a wrestler with motion, they find every way to screw it up. They screwed Joe Hendry and screwed Mike Santana twice all while bending over backwards for WWE. This company should be buried in the ground like Corgins NWA because there is nothing good that ever comes from them anymore until the talent leaves for at least semi competent creative teams in WWE, ROH, AEW, etc.. I mean what fucking company caps off finally giving one of their biggest stars a world championship by taking a month off and then having them lose it for no goddamn reason? They're trying to book Santana like Daniel Bryan but it comes off more as complete incompetence rather than an actual story."

[2.0] "TNA post their best period usually fluctuates somewhere between 0, 2, 5, 6 & on rare occasions post Dixie Carter a 7-8. So currently my rating mainly reflects on how the TNA/Impact product is right now from my point of view. I find it very hard to watch and find any enjoyment in any of TNA's current product, the matches are on rare occasions very good matches, frequent satisfying enough matches but no where near the average compared to almost anywhere in modern pro wrestling, but the majority of matches tend to be overwhelmingly middle of the road drab. They still also still have the issue of really bad, weird classic TNA booking tropes that at least would in the past occasionally get drowned out if they were having a better period of in ring work and enough good stories sprinkled in making up for all the slop stories."

[6.0] "As a big TNA fan for over a decade now, I can say that every time they get something right, they take two steps back. TNA has given me some of my favourite matches/moments in wrestling, and 22-23 Impact is my personal favourite era of the company. The rebranding was a great moment, but then they fired Scott D'Amore. Fast forward 12 months later and they're partnered with NXT. I feel like TNA has lost its identity, they're no longer a true alternative & feel more like WWE:TNA."

[2.0] "I do not get what people see on this current version of TNA, absolutely stupid booking decisions and are pretty dependant on the collaboration, it gives the sensation that they're willing to give everything they have in exchange for some exposure which yeah, can improve ratings, but not quality, having Trick as a world champion (while, I gotta say I like Trick and he is a future world champion, but not right now, it's just too early) and having had Jacy Jayne as double champ with your and NXT's title is certainly... a choice, look I'm not gonna yuck your yum, but it feels terrible to be a TNA fan this days."

[9.0] "My favorite promotion on the planet right now - They show an appreciation for their supporters that is truly felt. 2025 has been such a fun year, theyve been consistently putting up good programming & it has been a must watch for months for me. Great roster with a lot of underrated workers, factions that make sense to exist. Just a level of passion & believability that random NXT talent that are thrown together cant portray in their feuds. Every company has their faults but TNA will always have my respect"

[10.0] "I might be TNAs biggest fan. Through the highs and lows they've always had a part of my heart. The lows are wicked wicked low. But they a slew of amazing highs. And it helped capture the young 4 or 5 year old mind of a young self to love wrestling decades later. They've always felt like they've had something really awesome up their sleeves at any given moment. And homebrewed some all time talent while also allowing others like Kurt and Christian, show they can carry a company on their back. Wrestling would be a lot less interesting from 02 and onwards if tna wasn't doing their thing in the background."

"8/10 TNA deserves its flowers in many ways. For me personally it was the first alternative aside from Ring of Honor which was coming out around the same time was available to a fan who wanted more than WWE, WCW and ECW. NWA/TNA was that promotion and sure it that stretch from 02-06 was rough at times but it was the rise of the X-Division along with stars in that division, Styles, Daniels, Lethal, Joe, and Kazarian. The Women's division was fantastic as well with Beautiful People, Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, It was a great place for ex WWE & WCW talent to thrive as well like Christian who aside form his current AEW run has his best singles run in NWA/TNA as champion, Big Poppa Pump was GOLD for the company and detrimental at times, PEAK Angle was invented in TNA. The Tag Team Division was awesome with Americans Most Wanted, Beer Money, LAX to name a few. It stumbled in the Bischoff/Hogan era I wont deny it. Yeah you get some of Bully Ray's best promo work, and Aces & Eights, and the like but it also gave work to many of the stars that made the future for NXT then to WWE, as well as Ring of Honor, New Japan, and eventually AEW. Jeff Jarrett deserves WAY more praise than hate, same with Scott D'Amore for many a career launching in TNA's doors thanks to them, Speedball Mike Bailey, Josh Alexander, Moose, Allysin Kay, Eric Young, Booby Roode, James Storm and career remaking runs for the better, Matt & Jeff Hardy, Bobby Lashley, Drew Galloway, Sting, and the stars they have now and are buidling with WWE/NXT, Mike Santana, Joe Hendry, and Masha Slamovich. TNA is a must watch for any type of wrestling fan its just got alot of the good the bad and the ugly."

[7.0] "TNA's legacy is complicated, but undeniably important to wrestling history. It's had some incredibly high highs--like the X-Division boom, the rise of AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, and the stellar 2005-2007 stretch. But it's also had chaotic management, rebrands that confused fans, and some dark creative periods."

"Having Masha and Mike Santana lose in his home state on the biggest TNA event in history has got to be the worst decisions in the history of professional wrestling.?"

[4.0] "In all its years of existence, TNA has only two periods that I think are worth watching: 2004-2009, with the peak of the X-Division and some bangers along the way, and the Scott D'Amore era (2021-2023). After the arrival of Hogan and Bischoff, the company went downhill and still had the courage to try to compete with WWE on Mondays (crazy). I read this somewhere and agree with the statement that TNA is the spiritual successor to WCW and how it would be if it existed today. Another curious thing to consider is the amount of talent the company has had. For much of that time, it was the home of those rejected by WWE, but also with some good names of its own (Styles, Joe, Roode, Sting, etc.) and others who had the chance to flourish under the company's name (Galloway, Lashley, Christian, Jeff, etc.). Personally, as a viewer, I only watched TNA during 2016 (Broken Matt era) and abandoned it after Anthem's arrival and all that GFW crap. My attention returned to the company in the early 2020s with the partnership with AEW and the considerably improved in-ring product, with names like Josh Alexander and Mike Bailey making me want to follow the company. Nowadays, TNA focuses on a partnership with WWE (NXT), where they hope to gain more visibility (which worked, as seen in Slammiversary sales), but at the cost of relegating their stars to the stars of the federation's developmental system. I personally have no desire or interest in watching TNA today, and seeing the path the company is taking, I don't see that changing any time soon. Ultimately, everyone here knows that TNA will never disappear (no matter how hard they try), and in the end, they're quite capable of becoming another fed food pantry with a possible TKO purchase. My points here go to the fact that they introduced AJ Styles to the world and some very good innovations like the X-Division and Knockouts division, which were the salvation of the women's scene in a terrible era. PS: America's Most Wanted vs. XXX (Turning Point 2004) is one of my favorite matches of all time."

[9.0] "The promotion that would survive a nuclear winter. TNA has a very special place in my heart even when it is objectively dreadful as it was this company that instilled in me my formative love of pro wrestling. Despite it's budget and standing in comparisson to it's competition both domestically and abroad it still manages to unearth incredible talents and innovate in ways that it's contemporaries often end up adopting themselves."

"TNA has a mixed legacy but I do think it is largely underrated overall, and it seems to be having a positive reappraisal lately. Its history and library at this point would be a 7 or 8 but the current situation is not great. The show itself is still watchable but, believe it or not, the departure of Scott D'Amore has been awful and it's making TNA seem like a farm promotion to WWE. Look, I'm not expecting Joe Hendry to be put over on Wrestlemania but the NXT wrestlers make the TNA guys seem like geeks currently, for goodness sake the World Champion is from TNA. It seems like a sale is inevitable at this moment in this time."

[8.0] "I recently arrived in the world of TNA (because I'm Brazilian and it's very limited to find channels that broadcast the shows that unfortunately don't exist here) but from what I've seen some very good matches and some storylines I even liked, especially the MEM of Fortune vs. Immortal. Another point that I loved was the cast of the best eras of the company Joe, Daniels, AJ, Hardy, Aries, Roode, Storm, Sting, Flair, Lethal, Scott, Booker, Tazz, Foley and Jarrett mainly, Sting and Angle (I love these two) man I loved entering this universe of TNA, of the other styles of matches, the King Of The Mountain the Ultimate X Match, unfortunately there was the fateful decline of the company during some bad choices by Dixie and Jarrett, also many name changes in the company, but I can't help but say that this company is spectacular, thank you very much Jeff and Jerry for having created this. TNA 2004 - 2012 that is the prime."

[7.0] "TNA is tough to grade. Through the years, thanks to Jarrett, Hogan, Bishoff, Dixie, Russo and others, they were considered a laughing stock. They've also served as a valuable promotion that gave talented performers their first national exposure as well as a spotlight to deserving performers who hadn't gotten it elsewhere. Their role as the #2 promotion in North America for years was important. Now as they are serving a closer role to a distant #3, their WWE deal still gives them a lot of what they were good at (development and spotlight). Hope to see them continue positively now that the guys who had a part in killing WCW are no longer there"

[5.0] "The company that has well earned the LOLTNA moniker absolutely deserves it for constantly tripping over its own feet over the years. If you wrote a list of all the LOLTNA moments it might have to be a five parter. Having said that throughout all the terrible decisions made, it existed at a time when we had no WCW, WCW or AEW and it was very much needed. If you didn't like WWE and wanted something else wth a TV deal, these guys were it for like 17 years before AEW came along. For every terrible idea like a reverse battle royal there is a plus like the X Division and giving AJ Styles early exposure. Safe to say TNA is and always has been a mixed bag."

[7.0] "TNA will always have a special place in my heart with iconic matches and great wrestlers who were put on the map because of the promotion. The current product isn't perfect and I actually think that the cooperation with WWE isn't a godsend like some people would believe, but it still remains a solid promotion with a lot of potential."

[7.0] "I tune into TNA for the wrestlers I enjoy. They have been a major component to the industry in the 21st century."

[7.0] "It's had many ups, and some downs, but overall TNA has always been one of my favorite wrestling promotions. The early days of TNA were so much fun and was the biggest rival to the WWE since WCW. In the later years it kinda slowed down with Impact but it was still a really fun promotion for fans to watch. It's AEW collaboration was really good with them having one of the best wrestlers in the world in Kenny Omega as your World Champion was a good decision. Earlier in 2024 they made the switch back to TNA and is now doing better with a great line-up of champions and their most recent collaboration with WWE and NXT. Their collaboration with NXT has been so much fun with wrestlers feuding between brands and I hope they do so much more down the road. Moral of the story is that I think TNA is awesome."

[5.0] "A promotion that had great moments, but that declined more and more over the years. I tried to give it a chance during the year 2024, but its current style of programming, booking, commercial strategy and alliances make me stay further away from it. A shame."

[8.0] "TNA Wrestling, also known as IMPACT Wrestling, has managed to survive a period many though would kill it and come out looking better than it had before. At one time, there was an amazing X-Division that made Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe household names, and a women's division that made Mickie James and Gail Kim true Knockouts in a land of Divas. Some dark times appeared, with "Broken" Matt Hardy being the bright spot, but then an ownership change righted the ship and brought us talent like Josh Alexander, Moose, and Jordynne Grace as new stars to watch. I'd like to see their TV show turn a rating, as well as more expansive domestic touring presence, but the future is looking brighter instead of bleaker for once and there's no longer a "TNA stink" that used to pervade the promotion. They deserve recognition as a national league promotion once again for successfully touring seven regions of America in addition to tours of Mexico, UK, and Australia (as well as operating in their parent company's home base of Ontario, Canada.)"

[10.0] "My first weekly watch as-it-airs (I've watched some of Lucha Underground, but way after it finished), and I'm having a lot of fun. I like the Hardys obviously, but also Moose, Rosemary, the Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz), and First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro). I also appreciate that they have just one weekly show, makes it easier to watch."

[6.0] "I think after everything I've watched from the terrible asylum Era to modern-day I think it's fair to rate them a 6. Plenty of amazing talent but wasn't allways utilized well, as well as plenty awsome moments. I hope this nxt thing goes more places for them"

"TNA Wrestlings recent deal with NXT feels like a lopsided attempt at relevance that serves NXT far more than TNA itself. Once a promising alternative in the wrestling world, TNA now appears desperate, hoping NXTs brand can inject energy into an organization thats struggled to find solid footing in years. The partnership exposes the clear gap in production value, storytelling, and overall quality between the two brands, making it seem like TNA is merely riding NXTs coattails. Ironically, TNA could use the support, yet its NXT that stands to gain by showcasing their talent on a much dimmer stage."

[5.0] "TNA has had some good matches, but overall, it's lows outweigh the highs, and the negatives dominate."

[8.0] "TNA has been consistently entertaining within its niche for the past few years. While some people were worried that the company would flounder without Scott D'Amore, Anthem has done an excellent job getting TNA to even higher heights than before. Its partnership with WWE is great thus far, although you're bound to get some fans who disagree on that matter. Nonetheless, TNA has had several memorable eras that most wrestling companies would wish they had, especially with the amazing roster that has graced the company throughout the years like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Awesome Kong, Josh Alexander, Joe Hendry, and Jordynne Grace. Too many people focus on TNA's bad years and are obsessed with "LOLTNA" to see how great this show is. Of course, such a boring era dampens the overall score, so I think 8/10 is fair."

[8.0] "When I started watching the product in 2006 I thought it was good beginning in 07-09 though too much of the spotlight was put on the old guard and then came Hogan and Bischoff who nearly killed the product in 2010-2013 however thankfully the company has recovered in the years since it's still needs to get back to what I remember namely bring back the 6 sided ring, bring back Lockdown"

[8.0] "I can't help but have respect and love for TNA due to their inability to collapse, even when all hopes seemed lost. It's history is seriously all over the place, but that is never because of a lack of talent. They've always been in contention for having the best roster for a long time, holding some of the best workers and absolute legends for most of it's history. It's just a shame a lot of the misfortunes of this company and it's history is almost entirely because of management and the difficulties of trying to run a wrestling promotion right after the death of any real competition for WWE. Jeff Jarrett and his father did something really admirable trying to start TNA, and honestly did better than you'd assume considering everything. Things began going downhill the more Jeff Jarrett stepped away from the company, and Dixie Carter began running it on her own. She seriously had no idea what she was doing, and she depended on people she shouldn't have. Vince Russo, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Billy Corgan, so on and so forth. The first three in that list especially tanked the company for most of it's life. Things only began improving with Anthem becoming involved, and Scott D'Amore stepping in and turning this ship around, only to be unceremoniously let go by Anthem right when TNA came back. Still, TNA is finally at a full sail upswing, with a great roster full of dependable and even great workers, a working relationship with WWE (didn't see that one coming! ), and some of the best outlooks this company has had in years. It's good to see TNA thrive again."

[9.0] "TNA is a weird promotion in the sense of they have gone through so much, but are still around. Nowadays, they are the 3rd biggest promotion and feel like ECW. WWE is themselves and AEW which is in the WCW spot. Impact however is the strongest they have been awhile. Pretty much 2018 to as of writing this they have been really solid. They continue to get rid of all the damage from the dark years that they had, and are putting on an amazing product. The storylines are great and so are the matches. The show has so much life now and has tons of amazing talent. I only wish they kept Scott D'Amore, but they continue to put on a great show."
