It's almost 17 years of ready-to-air material (most of the music was done in-house) with 10 of those years being in HD The Rise and Fall of TNA documentary on the network would be awesome, come on now

E: Hell, if yall need a "rise and fall and fall and fall and fall and fall of TNA", this has been online for a couple years now and hits most of the main points DJExile fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Nov 18, 2018 |

The short answer is everyone that's ever run TNA was an extra special level of batshit that few can aspire to. Now whether TNA did that to them or they came that way is a lot more complicated.

I mean even if TNA was run by geniuses it was doomed to fail because it was trying to be a WCW in a market that could no longer sustain a WCW

Wrestling can support multiple national promotions if they differentiate themselves. TNA's problem was as soon as they hit a stride that put them apart from WWE they immediately started doing WWE stuff.

My Mom introduced me to wrestling some 30-odd years ago and since she and her husband live in Nevada now, the Las Vegas tapings were the first live wrestling event we were able to attend together. She's not the biggest fan of women's wrestling, but she liked Tessa a lot and oooh'ed and ahhh'ed at Thicc Mama Pump matches. Straight up fell in love with Rich Swann (to the point of getting a selfie with 'em after the first night) and to his credit he recognized her during his entrances and went out of his way to give her a fist bump. Became a huuuge fan of Lucha Bros (who isn't?). Overall she enjoyed the hell out of those 3 days. The VIP experience on my part was also flawless - the Anthem reps kept us entertained and informed of all happenings - meets and greets were quick but all of the wrestlers seemed to enjoy themselves and didn't mind short chats and weird photo requests (especially oVe); Pentagon Jr slayed everyone in bowling on the second day. Discounts for VIPs at the merch table was a cool thing, too. All in all a fun time was had. Josh Mathews still a bitch, tho.

overmind2000 posted:If they put stuff like this on their show I'd never stop watching That was the overall VIP response made to the reps after bowling. Our group walking through the casino floor was a sight to behold on that day - you had the reps wearing rabbit and moose onesies (they lost a bet), LAX (w/ Konnan) and the Lucha Bros (both in masks) plus the wide gamut of the wrestling fan in tow. It was loving great.

I am listening to that now and its amazing, thank you for example at one point Jerry Jarrett explains that people might not like TNA because it's like when he was in an art class and didn't like the Mona Lisa, people just see things different

I don’t know how anyone could look at Killer Kross and not understand why WWE is interested. That’s not to say he’s great, just that he’s basically a wwe wet dream

That’s not to say he’s great, just that he’s basically a wwe wet dream He's the Aliexpress knockoff of a perfect WWE signing. Yeah, he's over six feet tall and he has abs and tattoos, just like it said in the product description, but none of it fits together right. I think they sent me their "mens rights blogger" model instead of the "person who looks like they could literally ever win a fight" I asked for.

People are always like "What about those hardcore southern fans WCW had?" But really, the last two years of WCW was so bad and so much more like WWF/E like then it had ever been before, that it basically killed off what was left of the hardcore WCW fanbase. I might be wrong, but I think they even struggled to draw people to shows with Flair headlining in the Carolinas. Once those people stopped caring about wrestling for 1-2 years, they were never coming back to it. Especially not a fed with the initials TNA, girls dancing in cages, midgets jerking off in trash cans and booking somehow even worse then the crash tv booking that killed WCW. There's a small fanbase of hardcore wrestling fans who hate WWE, but for whatever reason hate Indy wrestling. So that's about the extent of TNA's fanbase over the years.
