Gotta thank Bischoff and Hogan for all this.

[@biggains1]

Yea, this a bit before they were at their biggest. The problem is they did get about as big as WCW(almost) they were gaining that momentum, then all the people that bankrupt and ruined WCW came in, got the creative control and what not, and ran it into the ground just like WCW smh such a shame

[@kman215]

Everything besides WWE is a bit like WCW according to some

“Wait a minute!! We’re talking about Jeff Hardy vs the Phenomenal AJ Styles!!” I loved thag line by Tenay

I live in England and TNA was on a two month delay at this time so I had to wait two months to see this. From the start of TNA to 2009 was peak.

Honestly Jeff Hardy Should've Won the X-Division Title in His Debut Match.. Here's an Interesting Fact: During his Run in TNA he's never held the X-Division Championship.

[@franciscofigueroa9459]

Carzy because he was meant to have that belt in TNA always doing something carzy

[@grammysworld5449]

No he shouldn't have.. AJ was having a great run and it helped cement him as the guy.. all his x division runs were worth it

Ah the six sided ring, Mike Tenay, Don West calling the action great memories and Aj Styles and Jeff Hardy yes Jeff Hardy showing up in TNA was a big deal back then think he was fresh of his release from WWE, TNA should have been bouncing back and forth from Universal studios to the Asylum as they did back then

Back when impact was called tna. Back when tna was almost better than wwe at the time. Back when there was a 6 sided ring. Back when tna was tna. Back when tna was amazing. I need this tna back. Tna was golden form 2003-2012. Tna was good 2013-till Matt and Jeff hardy left tna. When I was a kid I would rather watch tna than wwe. But tna sucks now. Little fans 4 sided ring that is not unique. Trash superstars. The best tna stars are in aew and wwe now. Tna title belts suck. The only good looking tittle is the tna title belt not the impact title belt. We need this tna again plz.

[@devalyescott5614]

Why is it that wrestling companies spoil surprises for the fans? WWE wants to promote the return/ debut of wrestlers, but find a way to mess it up? Biggest shocks WWE has had: The Hardyz, AJ Styles, Drew Mcintyre, Bobby Lashley, Bobby Roode, Finn Balor, Karion Kross, Richocet, Edge, The Undertaker, EC3. This shows the list of competitors that receive biggest pops. Others that deserve to be on the list are spoiled because WWE allows to spill numerous hints to the media to figure out who is coming to the promotion. Back in the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression; the company received the biggest and loudest pops in history because plans were conducted in secrecy. Media and fans couldn't piece out when something was going to happen. From what I seen, "Wrestling" from 1990s to say 2008 was the best time for wrestling.
