TNA's management at this time was desperately trying to attract lapsed Attitude Era fans who hadn't watched any wrestling since WCW folded, but all they ended up doing was driving away a lot of the fans TNA had already built up. Really, it's a cautionary tale for bookers everywhere

And that Nexus debut was awesome! Bryan choking dickhead w/his tie. It's hard to remember how great their debut was , because the group was jobbers and guys they dropped the ball on, but literally tearing the ring apart, taking out Cena and Punk was an amazing way to have them show up and their motives made sense w/kayfabe! If they had commited or Cena realized what his future would be, so he wouldn't politic and they had just put Barrett over, he would have been a made top tier heel. Ryback they also built up just to knock down, but he always felt like a poor man's Goldberg. Justin Gabriel could have been a midcard babyface if they had just had him do something simple, like make a save for a beloved character etc , rather than just have him smile and have three minute matches on HEAT to the point that he quit the company. His moveset was fire! Heath Slater was perfectly suited in his role! At least we got Bryan's run, even against the company's will to a point!

Bill and Doug are very much still loving wrestling. The channel is still active and I ( Doug) am the one that does all the content. We both love AEW. Also keeping it real TNA gave us free tickets to Lockdown when I was about to get married. The tickets were terrible so when they offered free tickets to Victory Road in Houston we turned them down. We got free shirts for doing TNA Addicts that is it. If you ever want to know anything about that time I'm an open book. Just hit me up. Take care.

You guys highlighted the biggest problem with TNA at that time that very few people touched on. They had open access to the Indies in that time window and they did nothing with it. You named plenty of those rising stars in the early 2010s and like you said, the people in charge weren't in tune at all. That is the biggest crime of all.

According to Russo, the Samoa Joe ninja kidnapping was supposed to lead to a series of vignettes where the leader of the ninja clan was going to be Jimmy Snuka and the reason he kidnapped Joe was to help train him into a more vicious warrior. But then a month later they brought Joe back with no explanation because they didn’t have enough babyfaces and the storyline was dropped.

Funny enough this episode of TNA took place after the final episode of WWECW and before the first episode of NXT the game show era. Also Abyssamania Abyss easilly the worst version of Abyss like what where they thinking when doing this I say is as bad as Corporate Kane for monster characters taking a huge turn in there characters. Also Samoa Joe went on a big loosing streak when he came back in 2010 after the ninja debacle which was not followed up from to loosing to No Job Rob and Mr Anderson and the Nation of Violence gimmick happened way before Hogan came in where he joined up the Main Event Mafia cause he got paid by them which meant he teamed up with Kurt even though they hated each other in kayfabe. And lastly Cornette leaving in 09 made him have no one who favor him backstage so is why he was rarely used in anything relevant and took forever to get a shot in the main event scene. And if I recall correctly Bischoff apparently did not get the whole appeal of the x division which is a division with no limits so in his great ideas made it mandatory to have triple threats and a 230 pound weight limit for a year or so it was the worst.

Bro I NEED to see John’s face man😂😂😂 dudes voice alone be having me in stitches 😂

The old school episode of NXT is definitely worth watching especially with Ec3 as Derrick Bateman dating Aksuna or Kaitlyn segments

The theme mashup channel shoutout segment is a crazy kind of based that only THE BOYS can bring

They have their timelines mixed up. Joe getting kidnapped didn't lead to Nation of Violence, Nation of Violence had already happened, he was a member of the Main Event Mafia under that gimmick and everything. The ninja abduction was just an excuse to get him off TV for a while because it infamously is never explained who or why the ninjas.

I thought I was the only one thinking this. Also, the Nation of Violence gimmick and tattoo on Joe's face happened months after Joe lost the world title to Sting at Bound for Glory. What happened after the abduction, was that Joe returned and had his classic in-ring attire again. However, the abduction was never spoken about again afterwards.

Thank goodness I stopped watching TNA when they got rid of the six sided ring. Hogan and Bischoff are walking dumpster fires. Good one Scott D;Amore for making it a respectable company again.

This is the time when Ken Anderson attacked Kurt Angle with his dog tag, then to blow off the feud they had Kurt Angle and the entire US Army beat the dogshit out of Anderson and humiliate him, then they tried to heat the feud back up by having him HIT KURT ANGLE WITH HIS DOG TAGS AGAIN!

OK, the thing that I noticed about this: This era has to have the worst Abyss look of all time, I don't know what it is, because it's basically just a different version of his usual gear but the mask just looks absolutely dog-shit. For me, black mask, black pants and black vest Abyss with James Mitchell is all time Abyss...and then they have him be a Hogan fanboy (I'm not even against that on the condition that it's Joseph Parks doing that, NOT Abyss).

I need time stamps for the Hogan impressions, if someone doesn't mind, I can later but I'll probably just forget about it lol
