Jeff Hardy's heel turn was one of the best things we had in the last years, and it was in TNA, during that Era... Not saying it was THE best thing, but it was one of the things that was completely unexpected and done properly week in week out. I'll give them credit for that! Besides that, we had Fortune which was nice as well for most parts, Joker Sting was allright, the KOs, MCMG/BeerMoney were all pretty good.
BUT these are the only highlights of what? 5 years?

I remember liking it but it was long enough ago that I can't remember much of it now.
One thing I do remember, I remember Homicide not being able to get out of the Thunderdome cage and feeling really bad for him. Poor guy. He disappeared after that.

The Hogan/Bischoff era was kind of a mix bag to me had some good to great stuff but also some god awful stuff.It still blows my mind that the roster they had when they came it and the failed move to Monday Nights did zero for the company.How in the world did a roster with Hogan,Sting,Flair,Hardy,Nash,Hall,Steiner,Styles,Roode,Joe,Storm,Aries,RVD,Lethal...ect did nothing for the ratings.

Was fine with the four sided ring, fine with ex WWE talent coming in who could actually work, fine with Fortune, fine with Joker Sting. Wasn't fine with Immortal, Nasty Boys, The Band, Wolfpac Sting, RVD, Sting winning the TNA World Title twice on IMPACT from two younger guys, RVD getting murdered by Janice and being in a hospital bed held together "by pins, staples and stitches" then returning 6 weeks later all fine. Don't  ing do s#!t like that TNA. |

John Cena could've showed up on the Jan 3 2010 TNA Impact and still wont do anything for the ratings As for that period in TNA, I liked it especially since the WWE was doing the weekly guest host crap and having the Miz as WWE Champion at the time |

Looking back, it was thousands of miles better than what they are producing now. Now, the only highlights are Roode, EY, Angle, and EC3. It's a shell of its former self.

Looking back, it was thousands of miles better than what they are producing now. Now, the only highlights are Roode, EY, Angle, and EC3. It's a shell of its former self. What TNA is trying to do now is a chore to watch for me. They had those years to build up Rob Terry, Robbie E, Roode, Storm, Gunner, Sabin, Shelley, build AJ back up to main event level. And they didn't. Now we only have EC3 as a World Title guy, while everyone else floats around doing nothing. I'm also sure that TNA is under the impression that a six sided ring equals a better product. ROH has four sides, they have a quality show. Lucha Underground has four sides, that is a fantastic show. It's what you do inside those four or six sides that matter. They also have no idea what to do with anyone unless they're going for a Title. The Knockouts division is pretty bad IMO because someone either returns or debuts, wins the belt and a few months later it's back on Gail Kim. The X-Division has no direction, just how many spots can you guys do and being put in random meaningless Ultimate X matches. Tag Team scene is Wolves vs whoever. Tag teams should feud with other tag teams, even if they're not going for the Titles. X-Division guys should feud with X-Division guys even if they're not going for the Title. Same with the knockouts, the mid-card guys and upper guys. In TNA and probably some other places, it's like a rotating board for who is relevant for three weeks while they face the Champion. Rockstar Spud should be facing guys in the same division, to give fans a reason to care about him when he does go for the Title other than I hope this guy wins, I'm sick of the other guy." Just my opinion that TNA just has useless matches to fill time and put people randomly put in Title contention without any real thought on how to build them up. |

It's the era that lost me as a TNA fan. Hogan and Bischoff are so self centered that it was superbly off putting to watch. Or like Ric Flair getting iced and basically drinking on TV. What a ing stupid joke. |

And no at the time it sucked but looking back it was one of the better eras comparatively speaking. As shitty as it was that's more of an indictment against TNA's current product than a compliment to that era. |

There was some good things, but overall, it was a terrible era that turned many people off from TNA, and it cost them so much money, that TNA still hasn't recovered from it.
I enjoy the current product more.

As crapty as it was that's more of an indictment against TNA's current product than a compliment to that era. You have a memorable name, and I used to post in the TNA section a lot back then, so I just remember you and several others who were let's say "passionate" about TNA (whether you loved it or hated it). I did like most of the stuff, but I'm easily pleased so I rarely complained. I understand now that before that we had it good, and how different it became. Sort of like the Star Wars prequels. I love them (childhood nostalgia), but understand the criticisms and agree with a lot of it, but it doesn't ruin my memories of it. |

If you're saying the prequels and hogan/bischoff eras are both the result of someone's sick unfiltered and unchecked creativity, then yes I agree. Lol. Tna I'd say in the past two years has gotten unwatchable. There are plenty of moments when tna sucked during that era, but it was kinda like watching a train wreck and there was still alot of star power and hope that the show would improve. With the way tna has shot themselves in the foot and mismanaged their roster, continued to do bass ackwards stuff, it's just gotten to the point that it's shameful and irritating. I tried watching the other day and not one thing caught my attention to keep me hooked in to stay and watch. At one time tna at least had something, as dumb as it may have been, that would make me wanna watch... Not so much anymore. |
