Miss that time. Granted it was great he came back for a short period

[@haimblue]

and also his homecoming with impact title, which led for walking weapon to become the it factor.

[@joe.limbus]

I was the only person I knew that watched Impact at the time and when I told my brother about it he said they weren't real wrestling but once Christian left WWE and went to TNA he took them more seriously

Christian Cage's TNA was a golden wrestling era! Can't think of a run so incredible from start to finish! It's a shame TNA wasn't able to keep growing after he left.

[@baseupp12]

They did keep growing their highest ratings was like a year or 2 after Christian left, it was after that when they stopped growing

[@ILLeeT36]

Both times Christian left wwe for another company, he became so much better. Man’s currently doing the best work of his career.

[@ashleyramage6958]

This was the greatest era of TNA/Impact Wrestling.

[@lumpencelt3318]

Yep 2004/2005-2009 I agree, 2010 and the arrival of Bischoff/Hogan, Dixie Carter being more involved on screen/in story lines, Jeff Jarrett losing power, Jim Cornette and Dutch Mantel leaving is when it started going down hill.

[@katekief]

I’m sorry…this is 2.5 hours? Y’all are the realest for this comp 😭

[@machuz607]

Christian Cage made me a wrestling fan again. I remember flipping channels in High school and seeing cage on TV on spike TV on a Saturday night. I was like, this ain’t WWE. I starred to tune in to every week and fell in love with the x division, getting to see Sting in action. Seeing a young AJ, a young Joe, a young Daniel’s, Roode. Seeing the quickness of sun jay dutt, the potential of Jay Lethal. I can go on and on, but love to see Christian finally getting all eyes on him and seeing what he can bring and what he meant to the growth of TNA/Impact. Thank you for uploading this!!!

[@pedromackey2563]

I had a lot of memories of Christian’s coalition back in the day, and I think Christian cage in aew is ready to form his version of the judgement day, he already has luchasaurus all he needs is someone for the women’s division and another mid-card fighter to complete it

[@alaooooy7]

16:50 The exact same way Christian Cage taps Luchasaurus's head now! This is wrestling heritage! Christian Cage is a living legend! Hope he wins the AEW title soon!

[@aaronh3347]

Don't think he'll ever win the AEW title which is fine as not everyone needs to win that. But he's going to redefine the TNT title with his reign and hopefully make it meaningful again which is a great legacy to leave in AEW in and of itself if that's the case.

[@g-coalitionbrother1729]

First thing I said when I saw him manipuate Luchasaurus to side with him over Jungle Boy was how he misses Tomko.

[@montel111]

I SLEPT on Christian in TNA!! His current AEW run make me want to see this and I AM GLAD I DID!!

[@jeffwinter1651]

It was probably 2007 when I found out about TNA. I remember Christian Cage and he’s group made me love Impact. Also seeing old wrestlers from wwe was mind blowing for me as a kid. I watched TNA at its best years 2007-2011. Always thought the x division was a dope title.

[@marcohavokkhaos]

Then Kurt stole Christian's guys and made them the Angle Alliance

[@HardBoy1]

Wow, never knew Kurt formed an alliance with that name. Do you remember what year it was

[@crazychristopherfromzoukon101]

Late-2007. Kurt debuted in TNA in 2006 and challenged Christian for the NWA World Championship that same year heading into 2007. Christian formed his faction and Jeff Jarrett returned at Lockdown in April. Kurt reignited his feud with Samoa Joe and went on to win all the titles following assistance of Karen and John Cena's cousin, thus leading to the eventual creation of The Angle Alliance. Kurt later formed the Main Event Mafia in late-2008.
