Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Guys since TNA is gonna be dead in the next six months or six years or whatever, let's do a time line of how terrible the whole thing has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 You start it off by watching every show and doing recaps. Once you have gone through a few years-worth of shows, that will provide a solid foundation for the project you wish to pursue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's always been shit, it just hasn't always smelled that bad. I also regard people in support of TNA as those who enjoy the smell of their own farts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think the notion of everyone liking their own brand is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 TNA died when it became Impact Wrestling. At least TNA had Cody Deaner. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What is the status of what they're going to do about Impact tapings once they run out of footage from their UK tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Holy shit I forgot TNA had its own folder. Remember when they did Liger vs Joe and it only went eight minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The moment Jarrett "Tebow'd" in the ring in the middle of a match, was the exact moment I knew he genuinely did not give a fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 What is the status of what they're going to do about Impact tapings once they run out of footage from their UK tour? I'm fairly sure they found somewhere to tape more Impact shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Remember when Sting first signed, gave them big ratings and a PPV spike and then they... announced his retirement and went back to the old numbers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Remember when all the competitors in the match to crown their first champion kept complaining how stupid the match was? Remember when a midget jerked off in a trash can? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That time a bird held Eric Bischoff hostage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Remember that time Sting and Flair had their last grumpy old man match and everyone thought Flair had a legit heart attack after taking a top rope superplex. I thought TNA was a place where guys got paid insane amounts of money and they didn't have to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I kinda REALLY want to start watching Impact right from the beginning, or at least the beginning on Spike and do reports and come up with how much silliness there is, but there is no way in hell I am paying any money to purchase these shows, so the likelihood of me doing such a thing are extremely unlikely. I think it would be awesome if you got some genuine pro-wrass-lovin' DVDVR dudes together and they watched TNA and tried to come up with like a list each of the ten best matches. I mean, the company is just dreadful but, somehow, it IS important in a way. NWA (1948-present) 66 Years Old WWE (1952-present) 62 Years Old AWA (1960-1991) 31 Years Old WCW (1988-2001) 13 Years Old TNA (2002-Present 12 Years Old ECW (1992-2001) 09 Years Old TNA is already the 5th longest "major" wrestling company (For major, I'm trying to include only groups that tried to go National, promote all over, get TV etc.( in the USA. It's older than ECW, and it'll pass WCW next year (Depending on your timelines, it already has...). But were you to talk to most wrestling fans, bring up ECW or WCW and they can probably come up with, off the top of their heads, 4-5 matches they love from either promotion, and 8-10 angles/promos that they really loved. But if you were to do the same to your average TNA fan, you'd get a lot of "Well there's that one match that wasn't too bad.." and for memorable angles/promos you'd get so many more things that were memorable because they were bad, rather than good. Yet it is STILL going!And my favourite terrible TNA moment is when that one girl (cannot remember her name, thus cannot find the video), went up to Kid Kash backstage and talked about how she liked it when he dropped her on her head, then put her hand down the front of his tights and gave him a handjob, but *SWERVE* she was using some sort of lotion that caused his balls to burn and lead to him rolling around on the floor selling testicular pain. To me, that explains TNA in a nutshell, stupid concept that gets stupider and causes unberable pain. Also, apparently someone already cobbled together a wiki of TNA stupidity http://taimapedia.org/?title=LOLTNA_History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I would say the NWA died when WCW started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 They found a spot in universal studios to tape. They have dates lined up for March, April and May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ever since WCW started theres been incarnations of NWA but more along the lines of being a zombie organization, it's dead but nevertheless somehow still walking around and stuff.

caley Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I would say the NWA died when WCW started. Well, true, but I didn't want The Colorado Kid coming in here and cutting a shoot promo on me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This bump single-handedly caused... -a major concussion and other injuries to Daffney -left her with brain damage -massive medical bills -a long, messy lawsuit and an eventual settlement -major damage and embarrassment to TNA's reputation ...and they didn't even get the camera angle right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 And it's that WCW-like attention to detail that's made TNA what it is today. Well, that and Dixie's utter ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Reading that LOLTNA History and this sounded incredible Abyss beat Jeff Hardy in a Full Metal Mayhem match (TNA's version of TLC) to become the Number One Contender. The final spot was supposed to be Abyss press slamming Hardy into four stacked tables. Instead Abyss threw him over the rope and Hardy barely went through one. Pissed off by the blown spot, Hardy nosold the move and started drop kicking tables whilst Abyss retrieved the contract. Subsequently Abyss didn't cash this contract in for a title shot and instead was pinned by Hardy at the next PPV. And yeah, it was pretty good. Hardy hits one table, gets mad and kicks at it, then kicks another table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZq73zLS4mM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That spot didn't even look that bad. Hardy's buggin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
