This was the glory days and I'm glad I got to catch it live every Thursday

I remember when I was a kid living in the UK. I was like 9 and loved wwe, but you could only watch it on sky or something like that. We ran into financial issues and changed to BT vision, where I couldn't watch wwe but I found TNA. Me and my brother were WHAT THE HELL ARE WE WATCHING😂. Abyss was fucking terifying, and I was too young to have seen kurt, sting, RVD, rick flair and all those legends in the wwe, so I basically discovered them there. Great memories😊

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember fans talking about that time a lil differently

Always loved TNA growing up. Even when i didnt watch any WWE. I still tuned into TNA

I think it was that MMA inspired match between Angle and Joe. That was the pinnacle of TNA.

The six sides were legendary, I'd say Kurt angle would be the best addition for TNA

Same. Thursday nights on Spike was a great gap filler between Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Raw, ECW and Smackdown.

Kurt is too humble. He literally is the heyday of TNA.

Yeah, I agree. That was when TNA was riding in that steady alternative for those of us who needed a bit more. 07' onwards was solid. But that 09' through to 2012 ish kept me watching it every week.

The X division of TNA was my favorite, I also liked how they did their knockouts, the female wrestlers actually had solid in ring and mic skills and had very good feuds

The Spike TV Era was TNA's Golden Years

Once TNA was off of spiketv is when things went down hill

2007-11 was TNA at its best but by 2013 we knew it was over.

2006-2013 I watched religiously, during that period 07/08 for me was the best couple of years. Tag divas and x division was a breath of fresh air. The main event often featured Angle who is the best to ever do it. I enjoyed Tna more back then than I do current wrestling

Kurt’s song was so badass

Main Event Mafia was such a great time in TNA. It had so many memorable moments

2006-2011 definitely had me hooked. I was watching wwe on the side at that point

Loved when they were all drinking in celebration with Booker actually being or seemingly being buzzed saying “Respect” in a raspy voice.

I think Hogan and friends were an important part of TNAs rise back than but they were also the reason for their fall as well

When I first started watching TNA it was a bit later, but there was Abyss, Jeff Hardy, RVD, AJ Styles, Hulk Hogan, Bully Ray, Devon, Mr Anderson, Kurt, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Samoa Joe, Suicide, Sting, Kazarian, etc. What a time man.

I think Main Event Mafia helped the show feel bigger, and with all the young talent in that locker room fighting for TV time, that was incredible.

2008-2012 they had such a roster. the BFG tournament were loaded with guys...Angle, Rvd, Hardy, Samoa Joe, Sting, Jarrett, Storm, Roode, Bully Ray, Kaz, Styles, Steiner, Pope, Morgan, Abyss, etc

05-09 was peak TNA imo. I had so much fun watching them back then

Imagine that. Put those guys together and the company falls apart.

TNA back in 08-11 was fkn goated still remember aces and eights storyline

I loved when it was at the fairgrounds in Nashville. My mom and stepdad and I went every week. 😢was sad to see them go and I miss the X division and ultimate X matches.

TNA’s heyday was the six sided ring era. Back when they had young AJ, young Joe, James Storm when he was with his first tag team, 3 Live Kru, “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown, the X division, with Jeff Jarrett having the world title in a chokehold

I didn’t even know where I was going man miss those days..

Kurt was the best thing that happened to TNA

Yea this is about time heel Jeff came ? Love it. First time a second promotion had me hooked. And I first learn who aj styles was.

Loved MEM, especially the time Steiner was the ring announcer. "HAILING FROM DUNKIN' DONUTS"

I first came across TNA flicking through the channels and all of the sudden seeing Samoa Joe beating Sting to a pulp. After that I was hooked. Beer Money, MCMG, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Matt Morgan were probably my favorite TNA wrestlers that didn't have a name before and of course there's the beautiful people's entrance.

And then Dixie pulled a Dixie and brought in Hulk and Eric…the rest they say is history.

In JR’s voice in describing Eric bischoff and hulk hogan going to TNA: * LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE POISON HAS ARRIVED.

Bro tbh honest when TNA got their stables back in like 2007-2008 they were stacked. The Main Event Mafia, Motor-city Machine Guns, Generation Me(aka the Young Bucks), the Beautiful People TNA at that point was stacked with talent. And they had mainstay wrestlers like AJ Styles, Kazarian, Christopher Daniels, Beer Money. I’m glad I got to watch that company when it was at that point.

I gotta agree with Kurt. Loved the Main Event Mafia. Booker stomping dudes into the mat while holding the mic and taking trash. Absolute Gold.

I can't believe this era of TNA was like 13 years ago

It’s hard to pinpoint a particular year of when TNA was at its best but I think most would agree it was sometime between 2005-2009ish

Imo it was before all those guys came in. 04-05 TNA was epic. Sabu, Raven, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, Abyss, Jeff Jarrett, Monty Brown, Rhyno, Spike Dudley, Beer Money Inc, Homicide and Hernandez, the list goes on and on. Guys that hadn't been pushed to the top with WWE/WCW finally getting their opportunity as well as hungry young homegrown talent like Somoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Abyss and Styles at the top of their games and the matches and storylines were up there with anything WWE was doing at the time.

Used to love tna when I was a kid it would be on the free channels😍 big ol abyss and kurt and Jeff hardy god

It's crazy cause that's the beginning of the good but also the beginning of the bad.

100% agree with Kurt about Main Event Mafia. Made it worth paying attention to.

TNA was the first promotion I watched outside of WWE. 05-06 was pretty good imo

Aces and eights and Main Event Mafia was the Best time as a Wrestling Fan.

To me, it was when TNA still had the 6-sided ring. The Ultimate-X matches, the Xscape matches. Basically, 2004 - 2006 was the best times.

"My division is full but I hear TNA is hiring" - Kurt Angle 2018

Booker T as black snow was funny af

I’ll say 2005 - 2009, they simply COULD NOT MISS

I really loved the era of Styles Angels Joe Abyss This was also good but i missed all of this

2004-2009 was prime TNA for sure. AJ Joe Daniels Kurt Jeff Hardy, I can go on and on and on

I will never ever forget first watching tna impact wrestling during year 2008 I will never ever forget seeing all the wwe wrestlers wrestling in tna impact wrestling during year 2008 and 2009 and 2010 and I won't forget seeing my top favorite tna and wwe wrestler of all time kurt angle wrestling in tna and I won't forget the first time seeing aj styles and somoa joe and so many more aj styles and samoa joe is both my favorite tna and wwe wrestlers in my favorite wwe wrestlers list but tna during year 2008 and the year 2009 and when you had main event mafia seeing booker t and Kevin nash and Tazz and Scott stiener and Kurt angle and sting for the first seeing everybody coming togeather I will never ever forget that tna during the year 2009 and with the main even mafia was the best era of tna impact wrestling of all time in my opinion and both year 2008 and 2009 both the best era of tna impact wrestling in my opinion i will never ever forget the old days of tna impact wrestling.

Aces and Eights were so underrated.

Yesss the main event mafia. And the Womens Divison had The Beautiful People. It was an amazing time.

Raven as the NWA champ was a really cool/special moment for me nobody thought he was leaving with the title that night.

I caught the tail end of that era, it was pretty entertaining

Best one is when christian went to tna, or when kurt angle went to tna and we get to witness the greatness of perc angle
