Web Conn Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I thought we could switch gears a little and talk about the good shit TNA has done.

Biz Smarkie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-rI6oejFfQ James Storm v Chris Harris in a Texas Death Match, I thought it was pretty great when it aired, and one of the few TNA matches that I have ever went out of my way to see. I dont know how well it holds up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Having watched that just a few days ago, it holds up just fine. My friends and I loved this at the time too. It's actually a lot less reckless than it seemed at the time, still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The first AJ/Joe/Daniels triple threat. Joe & AJ also had a great match in the finals of some X-Division tournament. Remember when the X Division had more than two guys in it at a time? Kurt VS Nigel/Wolfe was awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebbie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I wish more "David vs Goliath" matches started off with David throwing himself at the giant before the match starts. Like you know this guy can squash you like the little piss-ant you are, why not go balls to the walls? I also loved that that fucking finish felt like a finish to a huge match. So many times, TNA didn't do a satisfying finish and it just felt like they were just done with the match. AJ being so desperate as to bite Abyss's thumb to escape being chokeslam'd is what I want to see out of a babyface fighting for HIS LIFE. Plus, the ending was so good, they re-did it with Christian and Abyss a year later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr4iErWK7F8 Raven: Have you had enough? Sean Waltman: GIVE ME MORE, YOU PUSSY! And I pretty much love any match with AMW sans that Lockdown match.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Hamada/Kong vs Sarita & Taylor but yeah awesome match. Hamada had an awesome little run of great matches in TNA. Sarita did a lot of good too. Miss them being around. Also kind of miss Dave Penzer's ring announcing. Hamada vs Taylor Wilde in one of my favorite under 3 minute matches ever and a real good Hamada/Roxxi match. Crowd always got in to her matches. Hamada rules Good shout on Gail/Taryn posted above.. one of my absolute favorite matches of 2013 and my top favorite from TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 2005 was the best year TNA had. I would argue that 2007 was but it really is between 05 and 07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Jeff Jarrett & AMW vs Rhino & Team 3D Genesis 2005 GOOD CALL. I thought of this match after I posted my Raven/Monty Brown pick; I have nothing but love for this match, for some strange reason. There was a stretch where Jarrett was in these fun, random-pairing main event tag matches, and this was by far the best of them. Since you took my pick for today, I'll throw in Jarrett vs. Christian, where Christian wins the NWA title. Even though the match may not be the most technically sound, the environment that was there when the match was over was really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 2005 was the best year TNA had. I would argue that 2007 was but it really is between 05 and 07 '04 and '05 had Team Canada, and more specifically Coach D'Amore FUCKING EVERYWHERE on TV, but '07 had tons and tons and tons of Russo garbage amid some really good things that couldn't really gain traction due to Russo's shit.

HumanChessgame Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sabu vs. Malice (fka The Wall) from one of the first PPVs- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8suZW680Pw I remember seeing this and being shocked at how much better The Wall had looked. If he'd lived and stayed healthy he could have been a main eventer for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
