To be honest, ever since AEW arrived, everyone made it seem like TNA wrestling did not elevate the sport of professional wrestling. When WWF put WCW and ECW out of business, Jeff and his father started TNA wrestling. People like Jeff Hardy, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Cristian Cage, Kurt Angle jumped shit. In addition, TNA saw great potential in Team Canada, America's most wanted Alex and Chris showing why TNA is the face of professional wrestling 💪. In my professional opinion, AEW takes a lot of credit for TNA success. I am happy that TNA wrestling is back with their roots. I waited for years to hear TNA, TNA, TNA.

As a former TNA fan from its glory days, and having not watched it since, this legit gave me goosebumps ❤ Was such a bad idea to change its name... 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not sure if it'll make me watch again, as ultimately the low ceiling on the products growth was what turned me away, and that doesn't seem to have changed.. (it should really have grown into what AEW is now) but still, this is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, and I wish the company all the best. Would be amazing to see them rise up and become the competitor they always should have been.
