The state of TNA is that it's in an absolute state.


  • There's no clear person in charge, one minute it seems like Dixie is pulling the strings and the next it seems like Hogan is pulling them.
  • Piss poor house show & live show attendances and only further cemented by the fact they're looking to come back off of the road and return to a full time base like the god awful Impact Zone.
  • PPV buys are non-existent and the 'One Night Only' format was shocking taping them all months in advance so when they finally come to air, lots of the parts won't even make sense.
  • Behind the scenes management seems like a circus with several talents contracts coming up to expiring while still featured on TV. Roode, AJ & Mickie are the ones that come to mind immediately, although there's probably more i've missed.
  • Extremely stale product and has lost alot of it's identity that made people take notice of them in the first place. Tag, Knockouts and X-Division are all as good as dead
  • Same old trash with Ace's & Eights and never seems to be an end in sight. Can you believe that these have been around for 15 MONTHS.
  • They just don't seem like an attractive place to join. Unless you're a big or well known star from the WWE who could probably demand a nice pay packet, I honestly think joining the WWE and more likely NXT to be a better option.

Even after all of this and how bad TNA was, I would usually try and tune in weekly to try and catch one or two of my favourites, but with them now out of the picture I really can't see myself tuning into watch anymore. I'll still follow the results and news to see if there's a segment that's worth checking, but outside of that i'm virtually done with TNA, it's actually quite sad to see how bad it's become.
