Welcome to the forum

For the most part, I really enjoy the product tna put out. There are a lot of things that they do that are.. more than questionable. (keep in mind that we're 6 months behind). But on the whole, it makes great veiwing.
The X division is great, Micheal Shane (who says he's HBK's cousin, anyone know if thats true?), is a great tallent and seeing him in the ring with preformers like jerry lynn / juvi is just a pleasure to watch.
Like the WWE they are really short on tag teams, although ive always been a fan of simon an swinger, Problem solver (if its still called that) is my all time fav tag team finisher.
The main problem they have though is the tendency to squash their main eventors, for the last 2 weeks AJ has been battered stupid by Dusty Rhodes, now the dream is a legend, but even in his day he was never exactly in shape, an now hes about 50 his boobs are at his knees and they just shouldnt have their champion selling the 'bionic elbow'.
Christopher Daniels, what a wrestler, should be in the WWE, probably abit to small though. BEST MOONSAULT EVER.
Jeff J = HHH.
Very random I know.

Welcome arv,

I watched it a couple times and my review for imdb. covers my overall feeling:

I seen all the reviews that came before mine and I heard good things of NWA TNA. I decided to spend my ten bucks to see this, and to tell you the truth I was kinda disapointed. I let all the hype from those whom previously veiwed TNA get to me and I was treated to legthy promos and matches that were sub-par. I liked some of the later matches but nothing the WWE (Especally Smackdown!) can't do.

I did like that they didn't have embarrasing gimmicks or stunts like the WWE in place of that NWA: TNA had Erotic Dancing girls in a cage (a far cry from the Nitro Girls of days gone by). I like Glen Gilbberti, Sandman, Juvi, Jerry Lynn and Goldylocks on comintatin.

However the X-Division is overated especally Jason Kross and Kid Kash. To be quite frank I will watch the show if they get a network deal, but until then my Ten bucks is going to something more important, my WWE T-Shirt.

Seen it a few times and really like their cruiserweight divison. Quite entertaining too. Also, got a kick out of seeing a few locals that I know of on there.
