I hope it is better than the ROH and New Japan situation where New Japan wins about 75% of the matches, or so it seems.

I'm not a regular TNA viewer but I usually catch at least one a month. When did this happen and how did I miss it?

I'm not a regular TNA viewer but I usually catch at least one a month. When did this happen and how did I miss it? Here's the part of his wiki page about his time in TNA. It seems his TNA had one positive thing, as his time there, is what led to the creation of the Rainmaker. Okada made his TNA debut at the February 16, 2010, tapings of Impact!, losing to Alex Shelley in a dark match.[16] At the March 9 tapings Okada was defeated by Jay Lethal in another dark match.[17] On March 20, Okada made his debut for Jersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW) at Wild Card VI, where he was defeated by fellow TNA wrestler Samoa Joe.[18] Okada's dark matches for TNA continued on March 23 with a loss against Daniels.[19] On April 6, Okada, using only his last name, competed in his first televised TNA match, when he and Homicide were defeated by Generation Me (Jeremy and Max Buck) in a tag team match, that was later broadcast on the Xplosion television program and the company's official website and YouTube channel.[20][21] That same week, Okada also began wrestling at TNA's live events.[4] On May 4, Okada and Homicide were defeated in another Xplosion match by Ink Inc. (Jesse Neal and Shannon Moore).[22] On May 17, X Division Champion Douglas Williams defeated Okada in a non-title Xplosion match.[23] On July 15, Okada made his first appearance on Impact!, running out to the ring in an attempt to stop former ECW wrestlers from taking over the show.[24] At the August 9 tapings, Okada picked up his first victory in TNA, defeating Kid Kash in a dark match.[25] On the October 8 Xplosion Okada formed a tag team with compatriot Kiyoshi; the two of them were then defeated in their first match together by Ink Inc.[26] On the November 26 Xplosion, Okada was defeated by Rob Terry.[27] On the December 17 Xplosion, Okada was defeated by Stevie Richards.[28] Okada and Kiyoshi had a rematch with Ink Inc. at the December 7 tapings of Xplosion, but were once again defeated.[29] On January 20, 2011, Okada turned into a fan favorite as he made his second appearance on Impact!, when he was revealed as the camera man whom Samoa Joe had hired to follow D'Angelo Dinero in order to expose his lies about helping the needy.[30] During the appearance, Okada debuted a new look inspired by Kato from The Green Hornet series.[31] Okada, now renamed Okato, made his first TNA pay-per-view appearance at Against All Odds on February 13, preventing Dinero from leaving the ring during his match with Joe. After losing the match, Dinero attacked both Okato and Joe.[5][32] Okato made his Impact! in-ring debut on March 24, when he defeated Dinero via disqualification.[33] The match concluded Okato's participation in the feud between Joe and Dinero, and he subsequently returned to performing under his real surname. On the June 21 Xplosion, Okada was defeated by Alex Shelley in the first round of the Xplosion Championship Challenge.[34] On October 13, his profile was removed from TNA's roster page. TNA's handling of Okada was reportedly one of the reasons NJPW ceased the relationship between the two promotions shortly afterwards.[35][36][37] Despite not being used by TNA, Okada has stated that he felt that his time in the promotion was beneficial to him as he learned he needed more than just a good match β he needed a character. According to Okada, in Japanese professional wrestling "there is no character β it's fight, fight, fight", but TNA's agents kept telling him that he needed a character, which led to him creating the "Rainmaker" persona upon his return to NJPW.[37]

I'm not a regular TNA viewer but I usually catch at least one a month. When did this happen and how did I miss it? It was in 2010-2011. He lost all his matches on Xplosion and served as Samoa Joes lackey while dressed up as Kato from Green Hornet. Sometimes, the next big thing can be staring you in the face and you dont realize it.

This is great
TNA finally rebuilding some partnerships outside of TNA can only help the product IMO

I hope this helps; NOAH is one of my favourite promotions but I am always saddened to see poor turnouts. Maybe this will help somehow.

There was an Xplosion Championship?? I hope this helps; NOAH is one of my favourite promotions but I am always saddened to see poor turnouts. Maybe this will help somehow. NOAH really seems to be turning things around recently. I've really been getting into them recently. Hopefully they can rub off on TNA.

I think any form of merger can only be good for the companies involved. I think Impact Wrestling could really make an impact by doing everything in their power to form alliances / working agreements with every single promotion not named WWE. Then dub themselves as the Federation of World Wrestling, and become the modern day version of the NWA.
FWW!! FWW!! FWW!!
