I always see someone here, or on other sites bashing Impact Wrestling for random reasons. They say things like, the company will never succeed, to shut down or other negatives things, but why? Now I am not the biggest TNA fan here, I give that title over to Testify, but I am still a big fan of the company. I don't want to see it go down, nothing good will come of it. Impact may not be the best ever in every area, but what many people seem to forget is that Impact Wrestling is a very young company. It was formed after 2000, hell I'm older than the company's history. Yes it doesn't have the best storylines ever, but as far as match quality goes, TNA wrestlers put on great matches.

The people behind the business are stupid at times, letting go of great talents like Joey Ryan, Crimson, and many others, but now finally getting rid of Hogan, but they still kept a good amount of great talent. Yes they take in WWE wrestlers a lot, but that was common in WWE/WCW days too, they were taking talent from each other, and why not? They can be put to good use, like Chavo being in the tag team division and I wouldn't mind if they kept Jeff Hardy in the X Division as well. Yes it is irritating seeing WWE guys getting pushed straight to the world title, but for the last few champions, excluding Hardy, they've all been built up to champions(hell even Jeff a little).

TNA has a great roster, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Austin Aries, Bully Ray, James Storm, Gail Kim, and so many more. They usually put on great matches, so in terms of match quality TNA puts matches on very good. Yes their shows/Pay-Per-Views let us down at times, but WWE was doing that for a long long time as well. Also, if TNA were to shut down, than these guys most likely would go back to the indies, since there were rumors of WWE not wanting most of them when they were free agents.

I know this rant is a bit random, but I'm just tired of seeing hate over TNA. Yes they make mistakes, but everybody does. They are still a young company, and I see TNA lasting for a long long time in the world of wrestling, whether you haters want to admit it or not.

B/C IT FUCKIN SUCK!

In all serius the compury suck b/c it just a copy of WCW and at times even ECW! That call a ppv HARDCORE JICUTE! And AD ECW even though that had not rights do that. And when I watch it back in 2007 for a short time it was like I was watch a water down verison of WCW. Which piss me off! Hell there bring in WCW people for crying out loud! Ace- Eight maybe to other people don't rip off to nWo but I do belive idea to do that was basic off nWo. That got a guy call "Bully" Ray as the leader of the group with the title and it all reveiwen around him just like nWo reveiwen around Hogan. Yes i know nWo Wolfpack came out so Nash could do what he does. But in all Serius "Bully" Ray this may piss people off but is NOT a true World Champion he not Champion metete! And don't get me wrong he a great tag team with D-Von but that it! WWE try to do something with him back in 2002 when that slit though 2 up from different brands and it FAIL! B/c that are not good shagle! sorry but this is a FACT! And when u watch TFA it like watching a WCW veib the camara are like a WCW way of doing it.

Jumping between Realities.
Gohan and BLFFL would Make a Good couple...
Maybe BLFFL can teach Gohan some proper English....

Anyway, I doubt that Gohan watches TNA.

I try to catch up whenever it's on challenge but.....It's on Sundays so I have to record it and I never get a chance to watch it because It's deleted by the end of the week.
When I do watch it, It's usually a Good show.

(Hardcore) TNA Haters

For 11 years now, huge amount of "smarks" and "fans" have been saying TNA will be out of business in 1 year, they are WCW-lite, WWE-lite, even ECW-lite..... And now, because TNA is still alive and will continue to be alive for a long long time because of different reasons, it really pisses those same people off. TNA existing in 2013 gets on their nerves.

They just can't stand TNA surviving all the issues they've met. They can't stand TNA being on primetime on national TV. They can't stand TNA being different with King of the Mountain, Ultimate X, Steel Asylum, Gutcheck, Open Fight Night, Six Sided ring and so many other inovative things TNA has done over the years. They can understand all that stuff, but they WON'T because it isn't the WWE.

Now I know TNA isn't perfect, and have done some awful shit, but personally - the amount of bad they did is still 100 times lower than the amount of good things TNA has done. TNA will be around for a long haul and there's nothing the haters can do about it.

In fairness, you haven't watched since 2007. TNA's changed a whole lot since then. There's a lot of bad stuff that's happened in TNA throughout the years, but as a fan it just gives me a lot more of the good things I look for in wrestling. Maybe it's a WCW ripoff, but what's wrong with catering to WCW fans who enjoyed their product before they killed it?

They had the ECW pay-per-view in 2010. Aces and Eights and the NWO are much different, but guess I can see the comparison, although the non-Hogan people in the NWO meant a lot more than the other Aces do. Bully Ray has completely reinvented himself, I don't even remember him as Bubba Ray, hell he's lost enough weight to do a dropkick. Shame you haven't been able to see the good work he's been doing lately.

Frank citing Bully's failed 2002 singles run as a reason he isn't awesome in 2013. Rock solid logic, per usual.

A's and 8's isn't an nWo rip-off, but it's certainly your standard TNA heel stable angle.

TNA sure loves some Sons of Anarchy. I couldn't tell AJ Styles' or Bubba's theme apart at BFG. They were both very Sons of Anarchy-y.

THE CROW FLIES STRAAAIGHT yadda yadda

Every wrestling company does stupid stuff. WCW had Jay Leno wrestle and held events at biker ralleys, ECW's booking was far from perfect, WWE did an entire year with guest hosts and an anonymous GM that ended up being a mute dwarf that got the ability to speak from Mick Foley, New Japan tried to be MMA etc etc etc. The important question is how each and every company redeems themselves.

Morons and haters can shout "Its dead" all they want but the old saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch" is still very much appliable.
