I saw a video by MarkyD from a couple of months back and he made it seem like impact wrestling was actually half decent again. Anyone on here been following it? WWE and AEW are starting to bore me.

I started watching TNA after Kurt Angle joined in 2006, his rivalry with Samoa Joe was amazing and then in 2007 I was introduced to "king of The Mountains matches" at Slamiversary, you pin someone they get stuck in the cage, hang the belt instead of retrieving it and all, i found it cool. I was impressed by AJ Styles and the X division, ultimate X matches etc. Motorcity Machine Guns became my fav tag team. The women's dicision was decent and I had a thing for Valvet Sky of the Beautiful people back in the day.... It was cool, and the main event mafia story around 2009 was when TNA was at its peak, it was unique, a cool alternative to WWE which i started loathing since it went pg in 2008. TNA still allowed cool blading and occasional stripping.... But then in 2010 Hulk Hogan, TRic Flair, et al joined. initally it ws great, the January 4, 2010 was amazing, Angle and Styles did great, was a huge fan of Rob Van Dam and he had a huge comeback, his title win fom Styles in mid 2010 was great, the Fortune-Ev2 rivalry was amazing, the Beer Money vs MCMG best of 5 series, they did my most favorite TNA match ever in the last match of the series, a 2 out of 3 falls count match, the best one since Edge and Rey vs Angle and Benoit at No mercy 2002 back when WWF was actually amazing, the bound for glory series and all and then I was highly anticipating in Abyss's word "they are coming". But when The They were revealed to be non other than hulk hogan already a major thing in TNA and the Immortal story started thinbgs got so stale and boring, TNA started to drop the balls with X Division, became WCW 2.0 repeatedly tried to recreate NWO with immortal, then again the whole Aces and Eights story, and not to mention TNA themselves went pg and cut down the blood in 2014, TNA became total trash. The last show I really enjoyed in TNA was Bound for Glory 2012, after that everything became trash, particularly with dixie's increasing involvement. 2013-2017 TNA was nothing but Trash. When Anthem bought TNA things looked promising, I watch occasionally now but the promise didn't deliver, its still tash, its nothing compared to the awesome alternative to WWE that existed from 2006-2012. The matches suck, the proms suck, karma is a bitch they say for the way TNA treated loyal employees like Styles Joe, Daniels and Abyss towards the end of their run. Today AEW is the real alternative to WWE and is doing great, and unlike Impacts failure in 2010, Dynamite is actually beating WWE shows in ratings. As a matter of fact,, as much as I despised WWE 2008-2016, since the new brand split of July 2016 WWE has been doing great, Styles-Cena matches at SummerSlam 2016 and royal rumble 2017 are the best things I seen in Wrestling in the entire 2010s decade and NXT Takeover events are world class, the finest wrestling stuffs in ages, even TNA at its peak was never as good as NXT has been since 2016. I was a big fan of TNA 2006-2012, but now its just absolute trash, with zero passion for the wrestling, just geared to the political correctenss agenda that had once heald back WWE. So from me, post 2012 TNA/Impact Wrestling is in NO WAY worth watching, but the choice is yours...

I watch it on Twitch every Tuesday. It's a good show. It would be even better with a crowd. Honestly, I wish they could strike a deal with AEW and Daily's place to run shows there with a small attendance. With the recent crossover, it would make sense and help it out a lot because the action is good, they have good storylines, i like the characters.
