Ngl, the fact that Impact managed to survived through this worst period of time will always get my respect. That time, everyone were sure that they will be closed down every week but Impact managed to pull through every single time. If not for that, I would never see Josh Alexander wrestle as a single star and his fantastic title reign and also his feud with Moose. What's more crazy is that Impact still manage to stay as the #3 major wrestling company in USA until now in 2023 (Even after GCW briefly overthrown them).

I remember following TNA when it was in its hay day and pretty much because I was a massive Jeff hardy mark so when he went and sat on that cage I was all over it. I stopped watching wrestling around the twice in a lifetime story on wwe because I just didn’t find it interesting anymore but around 2016 I decided to give wrestling a go again but unfortunately I came back just as Daniel brian retired and the storylines were poor (dolph ziggler summer Rae and Tyler breeze love triangle, star dust and the big dog every week) so I decided to see how Tna was doing as it was on free tv in the uk only to find it was the tournament replays and I was so confused and genuinely thought that was what Tna had become. I think big money Matt actually won me back over because I always like Matt hardy in some way and EC3 to me was fresh and genuinely looked like someone who booked right could carry the company. Unfortunately the wheels came off again and I just couldn’t watch the show anymore. I do watch NWA but that is pretty much where my following of smaller companies goes now.

Usually when you’re a kid almost any wrestling seems like good wrestling, yet somehow as a kid, and I wasn’t even on social media, I knew this just wasn’t good wrestling

Your channel makes me want to go back and watch old school TNA for the first time. It also makes me want to watch new school TNA for the first time. Basically, makes me want to watch TNA for the first time.

Watching the company during this time was just sad to watch. And for my time to watch as a wrestling fan it wasn't good. From me slowly stopping watching WWE, to seeing Impact look like a hallowed-out fruit and me having trouble trying to watch NJPW & other indies, yeah, 2016 was the year I nearly gave up watching wrestling for good. The biggest positive of Impact in 2016 was either the Broken Matt Saga or EC3.

As bad as the year might have been, 2016 TNA still looks way better than 2023 Impact. At least they still had actual star power and hot women back then, now it's a bunch of indie goobers, the bloated husk of Tommy Dreamer and a bunch of female "wrasslers"

Matt Hardy single handedly kept Impact Alive with his Broken gimmick.

Oh yeah Pop used to be TV Guide network so it had TV Guide stuff on the bottom for some of it. Also I remember watching TNA as a kid in 2016 and I remember hating Bennett as a heel. They honestly should have put the strap on him. I left after they cockteased a tv fight for the belt only for it breakdown and move to PPV. The best part for me was the one TV match between Jeff and Matt where Jeff did that high spot that was great.

Grado was insanely popular in America when he wrestled in TNA.

@petesmart1983 I remember Grado wasn't like a Hulk Hogan of TNA. Popularity wise. But he was like a Hulk Hogan of comedy wrestling. And when Grado got fired from TNA I didn't follow it. Until WWE Network aired UK indy shows. I saw Grado on there and I feel like I wouldn't have cared about Grado or ICW if it weren't for Grado in TNA. He was great. He kind of made wrestling fun again. Even though he mainly did comedy in TNA. 😀🌈🦄

Even the guy who initially spread the lie about TNA losing their Spike deal over Russo has since admitted it's a lie. Leave it to a cliché BritMark to spread misinformation anyway. Has Jim Cornette given you your opinions for the week yet, Nigel Blatherton?
