00s TNA was kino
It's a sad state of affairs, because back then TNA getting 4m viewers weekly was lauded as a "joke" and a sign that wrestling was dead
WWE struggles to pull even half that now...

Tony Kahn ruined prowrestling forever. I haven't had an indy show here in 3 years. Used to have one every few months.

I hope you AEWfaggots really appreciate what your woke ass faggot cult leader has done to this sport. If I could fight you irl, I would.

Reminder that TNA was always a poorly run company that never shook off the carny image no matter who was champion or whomever was running the show;

Just scrolled randomly and landed on One Night in TNA (2003)
>Lex Luger arrived in TNA while still under indictment for thirteen felony drug charges following the death of Miss Elizabeth in his home; TNA hyped his appearance as his first match since the fiasco. Before the match, Luger cut a shitty promo in which he referred to AJ Styles as "AC". During the match, Luger almost made AJ tap in the Torture Rack, but Sting eventually saved the day (Way to keep your top face strong, TNA!).

LMAO you have no clue what you're talking about. That was one of the most cited negatives about the company, the other being the frustrating booking decisions.

It was better. WWE had DX acting like kids while TNA had Paparazzi Productions and Steiner promos.
The wrestling was also better. WWE hsd bigger stars ultimately.

2016-2017. When Decay first debuted and her subsequently becoming KOs champ. Shes' never been able to match that initial momentum due to injuries and weird booking by Impact.

I watched TNA from 05-07 and it was almost nothing like WWE at that time. They wasn't perfect, but it was miles better than what WWE was offering at that time.

TNA went through too many periods of building up new guys, then letting old talent bury them. By the time TNA had become really good, they’d already burned all their goodwill by booking Double J so strongly over the course of their first few years.

TNA had great wrestling but it had a much smaller budget and the same people who helped kill WCW (Russo) were in charge of creative, plus this was in the mid 2000's before the internet was as big as it is now. TNA didn't really have much of a chance.
