I don't remember what year, but my dad called me to the living room and Jeff Jarrett vs Eric Young was about to happen. I thought it was WWE until I saw the six-sided ring.

That must have been spring-summer 2006 I'd imagine.
For me I first watched it on The Wrestling Channel (short-lived UK channel), it was on an almost 6 month delay at October 2003 (I watched it all from March 2004 for about 4 months in total). So I watched around the time AJ had just lost the NWA WHC to Jarrett, Raven was fighting Shane Douglas/Father Jim Mitchell, Abyss was Kid Kash's bodyguard, Red Shirt Security were NWA tag champs and Sabin had a neck injury in the X-Division tournament due to a package piledriver from "X".
Also was introduced to AMW, Michael Shane, 3 Live Crew (recognised them all but was baffled by BG James and Ron Killings' names).
Hell I remember almost all of the roster: Glenn Gilberti (Disco Inferno), Johnny Swinger, David Young, Simon Diamond, D'Lo Brown, Christopher Daniels, Low Ki, Elix Skipper, The Gathering....

Damn I feel old. Ive been watching since the Fox Sports Network days on friday afternoons. It was before they even first introduced the 6 sided ring. They had like little time clocks and name tickers in the corners running during mtches because they all had time limits. This had to be what like 03?

The first show I saw was the very first America's X Cup between TNA and AAA. I remember my brother waking me up at 6 am on a Saturday to watch the PPV (I think) and the only one I recognized was Mr. Aguila due to his days as Essa Rios in WWE. I remember after the PPV, I tried to recreate that whole tournament with my action figures and I've been a fan of TNA (I'm kinda of a fan now, but back then a big fan of TNA) ever since.

I believe it was right around that year's Super X Cup. The specific match was Alex Shelley vs Samoa Joe in still one of my favorite TNA matches. If I'm correct, one of the first times in TNA that Joe was not only grounded, but was actually being somewhat dominated by Shelley.
Big loss for TNA, if he was used right. That's just my opinion though.

TNA Best of Jeff Hardy DVD, saw Jeff bought it back in like 2005 and really liked his matches on TNA, it made me start watching again for a bit, but in 2010 it was new years I watched TNA just for fun and Hardy returns and Hogan debuts!

Some time in 2005. It was midnight, and for whatever reason I was still up and channel surfing. As I was browsing through the guide, I stumbled upon TNA Wrestling. I thought to myself, "what wrestling is on at 12 in morning?". So, I gave it a watch, and the first match I saw was a tag match with Jeff Hardy & Dustin Rhodes VS some team I can't recall.
But I seem to recall my step-father watching one of the NWA-TNA weekly shows around 2003. I can only remember Raven attacking someone backstage.
So, some time in '05 was when I started following TNA. The amount of action they packed into that '60 minute adrenaline rush' was insane. I believe '05 - '06 were TNA's glory days.

Summer of 2004. My local cable provider would run ads during RAW sometimes and I decided to check it out. I believe the first match I saw on iMPACT was a Monty Brown squash, which got me hooked on him. Raven, AJ Styles, America's Most Wanted and Abyss were the others who made me a fan of the product at the time.

I don't the exact date, but it was when Nash started taking the X Division guys under his wing eventually leading to the birth of Black Machismo
