does 2000s TNA get enough credit?

[Bryan Danielson]

Do they get due credit? No.
Do they deserve any of the credit they are denied? fukk no

TNA in the 2000s has massive Durant/Westbrook/Harden OKC energy. Doesn't matter if your roster is all-world if you don't do shyt but burn through certain people's primes and then implode the whole thing just to watch your core go off and succeed in other places with half the effort and double the mileage on their bodies.

Have Perc Angle, peak Phenomenal AJ, Joe with the Joe's-Gonna-Kill-You not just for irony, CM Punk, The Young Bucks, Lashley, regular television and a network willing to go head-up with the E on Mondays and still end up with nothing to show for it but a twitch stream and a company that didn't exist three years ago coming in to make your champion look weak as a favor to you, brehs

All that energy

Harsh...but accurate.

 

[CM_Burns]

No, but some people overrate it also. It was very inconsistent and after 2006 TNA would have a couple good months of shows then a couple bad months and repeat, and a lot of their big angles weren't good or went nowhere.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

they started the 'women's revolution' to kong, kim, wilde, beautiful people

 

[Lurk Angle]

It gets some credit but nah

However tna was the last time people gave a fukk about wrestling in the general public

However they could never get over the fact they had money mark dixie carter and vinny ru running things

Tho they had some good things at that time

Samoa joe,styles and angle

Lax,beer money and mcmg

Beautiful people

But they had to many veterans

 

[El Poyo Loco]

The Jeff Jarrett reign of terror hampers it

 

[OmegaK2099]

No it doesn't, with angle, joe, aj, scott and my personal favorite Abyss. That shyt was pure sports entertainment.

So much this. I forgot just how bad it was until I watched this video recently.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

02-07 TNA is probably the most “alternative” they had ever been. The best years may have been 04-08

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

I found tna on accident in 2004 and I was hooked it was just so different.

 

[Rell84shots]

Nope, From 2005-09 they were getting better and better every week and were a legit alternative to the WWE. I still hate how Dixie let HOEgan and Bischoff come in and completely kill their momentum, that failed Monday night war was the start of their downfall. People forget that they actually started to average over 1.2mil viewers at one point.

 

[R=G]

Kong and Beautiful people were great..rest? Hard to watch. Sting was legit too.

 

[Womb Raider]

Nah, AJ Styles gets credit for being a homegrown star off of his own talent that's it

I found TNA accidentally and the ultimate X match was awesome, I know a few of their stars were talented as fukk but the company was always in their own way


I didn't even know they had Hoegan/bytchoff come back and ruin shyt. Just a shytty company that fell ass backwards no matter how potential they had.

 

[Tryna Makit]

I saw AJ in ROH early 04 and Followed him to TNA
Watched TNA on a weekly Basis from then to I'd say the Bobby Lashley Era

TNA Provided a place for old heads to milk a lil extra time and cash outta their careers(often times at the expense of the young'ns) and provided a place for said young'ns to showcase their talent on a televised program.

They had some goods
Some bads
A couple greats
And more than their share of ugly.

TNA gets all the credit its due
