bagser1 Jay Lethal in that woo off promo with Flair was just gold! Back to the original point there were a few wrestlers that retired in wwe but wrestled in TNA. Mick Foley (I respect the hell out of him but that world title run werent right) & Tommy Dreamer to name a couple
DoctrineOfMayhem ruclips.net/video/BuCazRfofgs/видео.html so an emotional goodbye to wwe but they would want us to believe that once they leave theyre retired. I know he still works his House Of Hardcore shows but as far as wwe go hes retired from their universe which was what I was saying I know he never indefinately retired
TNA deserves respect, sure they are on hard times now, but their X Division pushed the limit, the Knockouts broke down barriers and they saw something in Christian, one of the most underrated wrestlers in the last 2 decades. Those are three things WWE always thought of as jokes.
Justice4Ever dude lol dude this whole knockout decision for women is a copy from WWE women’s revolution the revolution started since the PG Era started just Incase you say the knockout division came first
Yes WWEs women's division is older, the company is older. But watch a 2007 Tna Knockouts match and a 2007 WWE Divas match and tell me which is one is better. TNA gave women an opportunity 8 years before WWE and you cannot refute that
Well..... you kind of right. remember that Sting was WCW. It was only when WCW died he headed to TNA. He not a real TNA Star like Gail, Bobby, AJ, R truth and Joe.
Nintendoholic I was born in 93 so I grew up watching WCW and WWF but by the time I was old enough to actually start remembering it (about 99) it was already ending. But sting going to TNA gave me a chance to see him wrestle from 04-13 and actually remember it and see how amazing he really was and I’ll never forget it and I’ll always love TNA for showing me how amazing guys like sting, Jeff Jarrett, Christian, Austin Aries, ect were while wwe just kept dropping the ball with them over and over again
That could be debated. If WCW was around TNA would of existed a s a Third Wrestling promotion and ROH as the fourth. What could of happened is that NJPW wouldn't invaded America if they had to face Four American base Wrestling Promotions instead of three.
TNA will always have the good days of X-Division, Knockouts Division and Tag Team Division!! That's something WWE has never successfully replicated! AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Motor City Machine Guns, LAX, Beer Money, America's Most Wanted, Austin Aries, Gail Kim/Awesome Kong, The Beautiful People...etc Such great times!! Also, for whom it may concern, TNA has always had a more diverse main event scene than WWE!
Juan Duran, those were amazing times!!! I should know, I was watching at the time! I'm proud to say that I was never a part of the shitting on TNA bandwagon that was so popular with the IWC, back in the day. I always supported them, during their heyday.
TNA/Impact Wrestling always showed Gail Kim more respect than WWE did and even her inducted into their Hall Of Fame. The WWE had no clue about how to book her.
Wwe actually did push R-truth for a while in the late ruthless aggression era, even getting a wwe championship match against John Cena in the main event of a ppv,
I think the real revolution started in Lucha Underground when Sexy Star a women wrestler won their main title beating male wrestler Matanza Cueto who is Jeff Cobb in other promotions. Because before that women never fought men or won the main title of the company outside of a women's championship or women's division.
Maurice Watkins, I'm with you man!!! TNA never got the credit they deserved, for taking women's wrestling seriously!! WWE wouldn't have their current "women's revolution", if it weren't for the knockouts!
TNA has played host to Xavier Woods, Drake Maverick, Matt Sydal, the New Age Outlaws, Derrick Bateman, TJP, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Austin Aries, Hulk Hogan, the Dudley Boyz, Hardys, AJ Styles, and many other past, present, and future superstars that WWE either passed over, overly-glorified, or simply didn't care about
tbh, Kurt Angle's first WWE run was great in terms of wrestling, hardly anyone can match his in-ring ability which is why when he faced Shawn Michaels it was such a great match cause Shawn is another great in-ring performer, but when Kurt went to TNA, not only did his wrestling skills improve, but his character & mic skills evolved as well. When Kurt was in the Main Event Mafia, that was one of the best heel works I've seen in a long time. Kurt's TNA run was way better than most people thought it would be & that's something WWE wants us to forget.
Plus not only did he accomplish more, he put over so many people including, ah, joe, lethal, Storm and Roode to name a few. He was pretty much a father figure in the TNA locker room.
Never watched much TNA before the last few months. Haven't seen every episode but every episode I've seen I have walked away very entertained. Pretty cool seeing some ROH faces that I haven't seen for a minute.
Man this video made me remember how GOOD TNA used to be, it was actually a legit contender to WWE, and somtimes I preferred it. But than I remember, oh yeah, Vince Russo and Dixie Carter drove this company into the ground... Also, think on this for a second: ECW and WCW lost their TV deals and died. TNA lost not one but TWO TV deals, AND LIVED! They are literally cockroaches.
To be fair though, Turner didn’t really try to keep WCW alive. He had the promotion “just because” Had he actually cared, WCW could have won. Or at least still been around
Tna was the first wrestling promotion I evered watched and can still find a way to entertain me. I can never forget tna no mattter how much the E will try.
Bryan Batcher yeah so horrible. Watching Jeff Hardy Swanton off the Raptors onto Abyss through the tables, watching Christian Cage become a top star. That triple threat match between AJ Styles Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels. Watching sting come out to the most badass entrance ever. And the place where the women's Revolution really started. Oh yeah man what a poor childhood. While at the time wwe was talking about farts and cocks. Tna started off as an alternative but believe it or not for some people its their preference.
This is unrelated to the video topic, but I can't help but wonder; who is the woman in the blue shirt with the long braided ponytail & why WhatCulture uses her pics so much to display emotions? She appears in more WhatCulture videos than the voice actors do.
Can you do a video of women who were better in tna than wwe 1. Gail Kim 2. Mickie James ( I always felt like she was an after thought in the wwe) 3. Terrell 4. Katie Lea aka winter 5. Victoria aka tara 6. Brooke tessmocker 7. Trinity 8. Angel Williams aka Angelina Love (never made it to the main roster) 8. Shantelle Taylor aka Taylor wilde (same as angelina love) 9. Christy Hemme (a lot of people shit on her but I've always felt like she had a lot of potential) 10. Kharma aka Awesome kong
Gail Kim’s TNA career was her best run, WWE had no idea 💡 what to do with her. Her TNA run will always be remembered. WWE always copies other promotions.
To be fair, he had a much rejuvenated career in TNA. I believe that while he had his classics with Taker, Benoit, and Michaels, his matches with Joe, Sting, Hardy, Anderson, Christian and even the likes of X-division champions like Jay Lethal were leagues beyond, because he was a much fresher man and had more time off to heal. Angle will always admit that his WWE career pales in comparison to his TNA career.
So glad I discovered Pluto TV. It has a 24-hour channel dedicated to TNA Wrestling for free. They show old PPV's, Best of's, British Boot Camp, as well as current Impact shows.
Why does WWE still not mention TNA? They've name-dropped ROH & New Japan on the main roster with no problem, so I don't think it's because they're threatened by them anymore.
Twitch probably would guess that it's kind of like UFC and Bellator. Probably spite over the fact that they have actually competed over alot of talanted wrestlers.
" vince hates jeff jarett" yet he's going into the wwe hall of fame this year. (unless that is some epic swerve, which would actually be too cool for vince to come up with)
Levi Ellis I’ve said that too and it just goes to show how good a heel and main eventer bully (bubba) ray really was. He managed to get so much freakin heat from the crowd during his 3 world title reigns and the way they booked him his wins over guys like Jeff hardy and sting never felt forced
I'll never forget that steel cage match of Mickie James vs Tara (Victoria). When I saw it at that time I was like ”I wish WWE would do this type of match for their women's division”
This is one of the truest videos ever! WWE also wants people to forget that Ken Shamrock became NWA World Champion while at TNA. In addition to that, they want people to forget that R-Truth (a.k.a. K-Kwik) left WWF and defeated Ken Shamrock in 2002 to become the first African American to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Additionally, they also want people to forget how Bubba Ray become a World Heavyweight Champion as Bully Ray. The way TNA ran storylines and pushed him as Bully Ray was absolutely phenomenal. It's sad that the company has been on such a huge decline (they've been having a identity crisis for a few years) since about 2012. There was a time when I was eager to watch Raw, Smackdown, Impact, and ROH because they were all putting on high-quality shows at the same time in a very competitive way (even though WWE was still PG).
yup. I love impact wrestling. love them even more than WWE sometimes. I know that makes an evil individual to the "wrestling" community but I've always wanted them to rival the WWE so we can get two or more amazing wrestling shows
Simon,WWE actually didn’t market Kurt’s return to the ring at TLC as his first match since he left WWE period,they marketed it as his first match in a WWE ring in 10 years. Just go watch the vignette for it from TLC ,the narrator flat out say it was his first match in a WWE ring in 10 years
Christian was so entertaining on TNA, I’ll admit he was one of the reasons I tuned in. But I think WWE gave him a world title run because of what they saw on TNA. Unfortunately they couldn’t keep it up.
Yesssssse Thank you for this some people pretend like TNA didn’t do anything for the professional Wrestling business. They did some much and continue to make history. TNA will never be forgotten.
Christian was the reason i started watching TNA. and Abyss was not F*ing Kane!!! or Mankind for tht matter!!!! he was always his own character! just cos he had a mask didnt make him Kane or Mankind. RelliK had a mask did tht make him Kane as well? sorry this has been pissing me off since i started watching it with my Brother with him sayin the same thing (he also compared Beer Money Inc to the APA)
Are you forgetting all the nonsense with Jim Mitchell that directly copied the Paul Bearer/Kane stuff? The secret son/father thing? The tortured past? Abyss' early TNA stuff was pretty much just Kane's storylines done worse.
Another thing to remember with the Knockouts division is that they did plenty of firsts before the WWE women's revolution. They were main eventing shows a lot. Ladder matches, cage matches. They have their own annual all female ppv's and have been for the last few years. And they have been having royal rumble style matches since the division's inception. WWE women have it good right now but TNA Knockouts have been there and done it first.
actaully josh mathews was in wwe before tna as well.. he did pretty much nothing there, besides being on tough enuff, i think he was on smackdown for a day or two, then tna... a lot of people were in wwe (or wcw or ecw) first, but that doesn't mean that company made them... the undertaker (the person, not the character) and triple H were both in wcw before wwe... doesn't mean wwe didn't make their careers.
+Hardy Nation Firstly, no need to be rude. Secondly, the word "being" was an autocorrect error/typo. Thirdly, what I was actually referring to was the "could of" which is incorrect
Versus Yt Because WWE management doesn't believe in giving it's competition a "rub": They're so dominant, that just by acknowledging the competition, they'll inadvertently give them publicity.
Calliope Artemis no NXT is a copy of TNA proof is when NXT first started they were like a game show but then Triple H even told Vince McMahon hey let's make NXT more fast and Total Nonstop Action just like TNA get the name and also X division, NXT, so get it the X known for X division in TNA and then NXT and NXT even has former TNA wrestlers
Dman SportsGm Usually, the term "proof" is followed by something objective. Anyway, Calliope, I don't think DS actually believes this stuff. Seems like he's just trolling (a trend I still don't fully understand). Don't take the bait.
WWE also wants you to forget all of the now stars they passed on that were in NXT tryouts, NXT, even Tough Enough. HUGE stars like Brian Cage and Ivelise. Cage defeated Bobby Lashley in his last televised iMpact match and Ivelise has held multiple titles in Lucha Underground and other promotions.
I would like to add a few more things to this list: Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan TNA Involvement: These two guys are legends without a doubt and them being involved in the company and being an on screen authority figure and/or manager would be okay. Them being involved backstage some would have been okay. They both would have been great additions in helping some newcomers with developing their promo skills and character development. The problem was how much involvement they ended up getting into on screen including having matches of course and trying to redo NWO as Immortal. Combine that with the likelihood they were pulling strings backstage to get more screen time and money and pushing story lines and how their characters should be treated and it all spells disaster. I'm not sure if any of it is true and it could have just been TNA's writers fault, but we are talking about Hogan and to a slightly lesser extent Flair. Kevin Nash, Booker T, the Dudleys, and Sting: Like Christian and Kurt Angle, these 5 men were all really big stars already thanks to WWE, WCW, and ECW. Of course, Sting never actually appeared in WWE until after TNA, but they obviously still don't want us to remember his time there. Booker T and Kevin Nash are former world champs. Booker T is a former King of the Ring. Kevin Nash was also part of the original NWO and while WWE don't like to give credit to WCW, they still will cash in on that NWO nostalgia and don't want anyone to know that such a big star as Nash went to TNA. The Dudleys are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, are a 1/3 of one of the best WWE matches of all time, and trying to hide their WCW, ECW, and WWE history is probably an arduous task (the same could be said about Nash, Booker T, Christian, Angle, Hogan, Flair, and even Sting since he was pretty big in WCW). Lastly, while Booker T only had a few years in the company like Christian, Nash, Sting, the Dudleys, and Angle were all there for a decade or a little less in Nash's case.
ric flair wrestling in TNA after his retirement match in WWE
To be honest I think we all want to forget about that, Jay Lethal impersonation angle aside
bagser1 Jay Lethal in that woo off promo with Flair was just gold!
Back to the original point there were a few wrestlers that retired in wwe but wrestled in TNA. Mick Foley (I respect the hell out of him but that world title run werent right) & Tommy Dreamer to name a couple
Tommy Dreamer never retired.
DoctrineOfMayhem ruclips.net/video/BuCazRfofgs/видео.html so an emotional goodbye to wwe but they would want us to believe that once they leave theyre retired. I know he still works his House Of Hardcore shows but as far as wwe go hes retired from their universe which was what I was saying I know he never indefinately retired
Mrmuscom Steven Richards TNA promos. I need a quay lood or some LSD to forget that garbage.
Christian is the most Underrated underused talent of all time
Donovan Smith thank you!!!
His TNA run> His WWE run
He should in Hall of feam
Seriously he was like an alternative Edge. He was pretty much the Matt Hardy of Edge and Christian.
Thank you, I’ve always thought this.
TNA deserves respect, sure they are on hard times now, but their X Division pushed the limit, the Knockouts broke down barriers and they saw something in Christian, one of the most underrated wrestlers in the last 2 decades. Those are three things WWE always thought of as jokes.
they are rebuilding slowly but surely
Justice4Ever dude lol dude this whole knockout decision for women is a copy from WWE women’s revolution the revolution started since the PG Era started just Incase you say the knockout division came first
Yes WWEs women's division is older, the company is older. But watch a 2007 Tna Knockouts match and a 2007 WWE Divas match and tell me which is one is better. TNA gave women an opportunity 8 years before WWE and you cannot refute that
Justice4Ever TNA gave women an opportunity 8 years before WWE have you heard of Trish Startus Lisa Mae Young Fabulous Moola and Chyna probably not
Yes I have, but in around 2003 WWE began to focus on looks as opposed to wrestling ability. So in 2007, TNA started it's knockouts division
I think Sting's career in TNA deserves to be an honorable mention.
Nintendoholic
And Scott Steiner's.
Well..... you kind of right. remember that Sting was WCW. It was only when WCW died he headed to TNA. He not a real TNA Star like Gail, Bobby, AJ, R truth and Joe.
MRWIL246
You do realize TNA would of never been founded if WCW didn't die, right?
Nintendoholic I was born in 93 so I grew up watching WCW and WWF but by the time I was old enough to actually start remembering it (about 99) it was already ending. But sting going to TNA gave me a chance to see him wrestle from 04-13 and actually remember it and see how amazing he really was and I’ll never forget it and I’ll always love TNA for showing me how amazing guys like sting, Jeff Jarrett, Christian, Austin Aries, ect were while wwe just kept dropping the ball with them over and over again
That could be debated. If WCW was around TNA would of existed a s a Third Wrestling promotion and ROH as the fourth. What could of happened is that NJPW wouldn't invaded America if they had to face Four American base Wrestling Promotions instead of three.
1. Jeff Hardy was high af and Sting wanted to rip his head off.
TonyPain*_* more like jeff hardys whole tna career
I'm pretty sure the WWE loves you remembering that since that hurts TNA and not the WWE.
TonyPain*_* why would WWE want you to forget about that?
TNA will always have the good days of X-Division, Knockouts Division and Tag Team Division!! That's something WWE has never successfully replicated! AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Motor City Machine Guns, LAX, Beer Money, America's Most Wanted, Austin Aries, Gail Kim/Awesome Kong, The Beautiful People...etc Such great times!!

TNA/Impact Wrestling always showed Gail Kim more respect than WWE did and even her inducted into their Hall Of Fame. The WWE had no clue about how to book her.
Merce A. Mercero Yes, well done. Repeating what Simon said. What a clever man you are.
Brandon Roberts glad he changed his mind with Asuka winning the Royal Rumble
C I I was actually expecting Sasha Banks to win the women's Royal Rumble.
Gail Kim is married to chef Robert Irvine.
Merce A. Mercero or maybe they never had intentions to book her nicely maybe
Wow, I thought for sure Ric Flair's entire run with the company would be #1 for sure
marioman821 yeah and his last match was against Mick Foley in a last man standing match
*ahem!* Sting? Ric Flair? Hulk Hogan? Dudly Boyz?
Wht
WWE will never build Broken Matt Hardy as great as TNA did
Romuald Rosemain Agreed. He's just some guy with bad hair that laughs weird. He was great in TNA with his home videos/promos
Ok so I gotta say it again, Matt hardy has all creative ideas, it’s all on Matt Woken Matt is bad because of well...MATT
TNA didn't build anything. It was all Matt.
Romuald Rosemain how about you stop disrespecting the original thing and respecting the rip off
Vince doesn't want to push this gimmick because its not his creation.
Wait wait wait, Abyss wasn't Kane, he was Kane and Mankind.
Kanekind or ManKane.
TheJeffreyJJones exactly I like abyss more than kane way more hardcore and his "corporate aka normal" persona IS WAAAAAY BETTER
Derrick Rose Jr. here's the thing though kane should never have had the normal gimmick
Which kinda just strengthens the point really
mankanedertaker
R-Truth as a heavyweight champion. Sting choosing TNA over WWE
Andrew Slebodnick The fact that they ACTUALLY put their black wrestlers in their main event instead of making them the same midcard stereotypes.
Wwe actually did push R-truth for a while in the late ruthless aggression era, even getting a wwe championship match against John Cena in the main event of a ppv,
@mist77 that was pg era
Then Sting decided to give WWE a chance and we all saw how that turned out ...
My bad!
Knock TNA all you want but their Knockouts division was great way before WWE let the divas be superstars
Alex Wood exactly.
And the women wrestlers we're better
And a lot of these 'first time eve's WWE are doing with their womens division, TNA did years ago (Royal Rumble, all female PPV...)
Michael Russell TNA ripped off the Royal Rumble?
@@imretarded8540 TNA have done a number of Knockouts Gauntlet matches (same rules as the Royal Rumble) going back quite a few years
THE KNOCKOUTS DIVISION IS THE TRUE WOMEN'S REVOLUTION!!! ALWAYS WILL BE.
I think the real revolution started in Lucha Underground when Sexy Star a women wrestler won their main title beating male wrestler Matanza Cueto who is Jeff Cobb in other promotions. Because before that women never fought men or won the main title of the company outside of a women's championship or women's division.
Maurice Watkins, I'm with you man!!! TNA never got the credit they deserved, for taking women's wrestling seriously!! WWE wouldn't have their current "women's revolution", if it weren't for the knockouts!
Finally TNA is getting its recognition. Like Macho Man always said the cream always rises to the top!
So do turds. Tna reminds me of that turn that wont flush.
Gail Kim is the Trish stratus of tna
Kazarian called the TNA fans the TNA Galaxy one time to make fun of WWE.
TNA has never called their fans a galaxy.
Isn't a galaxy smaller than a universe though?
Isn’t TNA smaller than WWE ? So I guess it’d make sense
TNA has played host to Xavier Woods, Drake Maverick, Matt Sydal, the New Age Outlaws, Derrick Bateman, TJP, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Austin Aries, Hulk Hogan, the Dudley Boyz, Hardys, AJ Styles, and many other past, present, and future superstars that WWE either passed over, overly-glorified, or simply didn't care about
Same here
Kevin Owens
Awoken Black Star Bateman is EC3 if I'm not mistaken
+Kris Fitzgerald That is correct. To be honest, he's much more intimidating with his manly crew cut rather than the salad hair he had while in NXT.
The Beast Goldberg
tbh, Kurt Angle's first WWE run was great in terms of wrestling, hardly anyone can match his in-ring ability which is why when he faced Shawn Michaels it was such a great match cause Shawn is another great in-ring performer, but when Kurt went to TNA, not only did his wrestling skills improve, but his character & mic skills evolved as well.

Kurt's TNA run was way better than most people thought it would be & that's something WWE wants us to forget.
Plus not only did he accomplish more, he put over so many people including, ah, joe, lethal, Storm and Roode to name a few. He was pretty much a father figure in the TNA locker room.
Thank you for a rather positive spotlight on IMPACT.
Nice try wwe but I will never forget the flying Elvises, Jimmy Wang Yang till death
Jimmy Wang Yang should've main evented WrestleMania 24.
TRG - Redas exactly
TRG - Redas Facts
The flying elvises are amazing
I loved when Jimmy Yang had that match in TNA in 2010 or 2011 wearing his flying Elvis gear.
That Kurt Angle and Sting are the only ones to be in the WWE and TNA Hall of Fame
Stephanie McMahon Dudley Boys, now, too.
Jeff jarrett
Booker T and Dudley boyz Jeff Jarrett
Philip Tucker that’s hilarious HAHAHAHA
Never watched much TNA before the last few months. Haven't seen every episode but every episode I've seen I have walked away very entertained. Pretty cool seeing some ROH faces that I haven't seen for a minute.
Thank you for putting TNA's womens division in your list. Not many of the womens matches in WWE are on par with what they did in TNA 10 years ago
Man this video made me remember how GOOD TNA used to be, it was actually a legit contender to WWE, and somtimes I preferred it. But than I remember, oh yeah, Vince Russo and Dixie Carter drove this company into the ground...
Also, think on this for a second: ECW and WCW lost their TV deals and died.
TNA lost not one but TWO TV deals, AND LIVED! They are literally cockroaches.
King of Fedoras Technically it was 3 lol... Fox Sports, Spike TV, and Destination America. With them currently airing on Pop TV as of last year xD
Juan Duran although in the UK they air on spike TV and have for since before I was born (2000)
To be fair though, Turner didn’t really try to keep WCW alive. He had the promotion “just because” Had he actually cared, WCW could have won. Or at least still been around
King of Fedoras true tna was a contender they had the talent but now tna isn't nothing I stop watching early 2014.
Actually it was Hulk Hogan that tried to drive it to the ground, fortunately he failed
Tna was the first wrestling promotion I evered watched and can still find a way to entertain me. I can never forget tna no mattter how much the E will try.
Bryan Batcher yeah so horrible. Watching Jeff Hardy Swanton off the Raptors onto Abyss through the tables, watching Christian Cage become a top star. That triple threat match between AJ Styles Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels. Watching sting come out to the most badass entrance ever. And the place where the women's Revolution really started. Oh yeah man what a poor childhood.
While at the time wwe was talking about farts and cocks.
Tna started off as an alternative but believe it or not for some people its their preference.
Justin Fortune Yeah I 100% Agree With you TNA Was Hardcore The Ultimate X Matchs Were One Of A Kind
not saying anything was wrong with TNA (for a while i watched tna and not wwe) BUT... the thing is you missed wcw and ecw.. that's the sad part.
Your response to that bryan dude was funny lol
Brian McDubb Not sad. He just was born a little later the ruthless aggression era and the years from 2002 and 2010 was a great era for wrestling too
No mention of Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley should have stayed out of WWE.
Yeah, true. He was a success in TNA first. WWE never would've resigned him, if it wasn't for his success in TNA.
This is unrelated to the video topic, but I can't help but wonder; who is the woman in the blue shirt with the long braided ponytail & why WhatCulture uses her pics so much to display emotions? She appears in more WhatCulture videos than the voice actors do.
That stock image is getting a bigger push than Jason Jordan in WWE.
BROO I KNOW ITS SO ANNOYING IMO
FodeeFo it's because she's free to use and whatculture are cheap whores
I want that b*%#* off my screen
TheJJStrife lol
I´m always excited when a new "things that wwe wants you to forget" list comes out. You guys are literally the BEST
The fact they used to get 2.1 ratings & WWE gets 2.5 now. If TNA didn’t fuck up there would’ve been another Monday Night War.
RuthlessAggression Gamer95 TNA was on Saturdays But your correct
Tna was on thursdays
baseupp12 Me and my Brother stayed home alot on Thursdays
Pogo Gichel Because RUclips isn’t on the USA Network which is only in the U.S.
Erm...the fact that they tried the Monday night wars too soon during the Bischoff era, fucked them up badly.
At least Impact Wrestling is getting back on track this year.
@Native Sca-Rasta Check out Slammiversary XVI.
Andddd it's gone
Can you do a video of women who were better in tna than wwe
1. Gail Kim
2. Mickie James ( I always felt like she was an after thought in the wwe)
3. Terrell
4. Katie Lea aka winter
5. Victoria aka tara
6. Brooke tessmocker
7. Trinity
8. Angel Williams aka Angelina Love (never made it to the main roster)
8. Shantelle Taylor aka Taylor wilde (same as angelina love)
9. Christy Hemme (a lot of people shit on her but I've always felt like she had a lot of potential)
10. Kharma aka Awesome kong
Corey Anderson half of these you can't even compare lmao but mickey was way better in wwe
I mean everyone's entitle to their opinions but I always felt like was pushed when the girl they wanted to push got injured or something
tna treated mickie better they din'y make fun of her weight
And to be fair, Mickie was a part of TNA before the knockouts division when she was part of Ravens flock alongside Julio Dinero and CM Punk.
This was a great list. Nice work Simon
The X division was one of the best things I've ever seen
Gail Kim’s TNA career was her best run, WWE had no idea 💡 what to do with her. Her TNA run will always be remembered. WWE always copies other promotions.
Ivan Correa that's why I'm not WWE
I think Kurt Angle had better matches in TNA than WWE.
BYRON NOBLE ECW Kurt definitely. Pre 2006 - toss up
Shit I forgot about that!?
To be fair, he had a much rejuvenated career in TNA. I believe that while he had his classics with Taker, Benoit, and Michaels, his matches with Joe, Sting, Hardy, Anderson, Christian and even the likes of X-division champions like Jay Lethal were leagues beyond, because he was a much fresher man and had more time off to heal.
Angle will always admit that his WWE career pales in comparison to his TNA career.
Leagues beyond are you fucking high or just stupid because his matches with benoit were the best matches of his career
Baseupp12 yu taking this way too serious
So glad I discovered Pluto TV. It has a 24-hour channel dedicated to TNA Wrestling for free. They show old PPV's, Best of's, British Boot Camp, as well as current Impact shows.
Why does WWE still not mention TNA? They've name-dropped ROH & New Japan on the main roster with no problem, so I don't think it's because they're threatened by them anymore.
Twitch probably would guess that it's kind of like UFC and Bellator. Probably spite over the fact that they have actually competed over alot of talanted wrestlers.
until recently tna was their biggest competition and vince hates jeff jarett
Craig K R.I.P WWE 1997-2008;2017.
Craig K I checked your RUclips channel, I agree with you.
" vince hates jeff jarett" yet he's going into the wwe hall of fame this year. (unless that is some epic swerve, which would actually be too cool for vince to come up with)
Damn it. I wanna completely forget about Whatculture but these videos are good asf.
There's only one thing WWE wants you to forget about TNA: TNA itself
Mike old Vince will forever live in the Monday night wars state of mind
Sting's entire TNA run.
That super Miller shirt
2 of my favorite Kurt feuds were in TNA. His Jeff Jarrett feud was brill as well as his Samoa Joe feud.
4:20 yo vince be crankin dat soulja boy
TNA was the best wrestling Show back in the good old days of wrestling I love all the matches back then
The aces and eights storyline was in my opinion the best storyline they have ever had
Levi Ellis I’ve said that too and it just goes to show how good a heel and main eventer bully (bubba) ray really was. He managed to get so much freakin heat from the crowd during his 3 world title reigns and the way they booked him his wins over guys like Jeff hardy and sting never felt forced
the Aces and Eight angle is what killed the company
The Black Nostalgia Nerd2 no when hulk and all them lot came in that killed tna
Cody McCollum hahaha remember that fake wedding when Taz (the color commentator) revealed he is apart of it. Like wtf and why.
the main event mafia was better
I'll never forget that steel cage match of Mickie James vs Tara (Victoria). When I saw it at that time I was like ”I wish WWE would do this type of match for their women's division”
Everyone knows that Nia Jax is WWE’s “Awesome Kong”
This is one of the truest videos ever! WWE also wants people to forget that Ken Shamrock became NWA World Champion while at TNA. In addition to that, they want people to forget that R-Truth (a.k.a. K-Kwik) left WWF and defeated Ken Shamrock in 2002 to become the first African American to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Additionally, they also want people to forget how Bubba Ray become a World Heavyweight Champion as Bully Ray. The way TNA ran storylines and pushed him as Bully Ray was absolutely phenomenal. It's sad that the company has been on such a huge decline (they've been having a identity crisis for a few years) since about 2012. There was a time when I was eager to watch Raw, Smackdown, Impact, and ROH because they were all putting on high-quality shows at the same time in a very competitive way (even though WWE was still PG).
#11 Jeff Hardy
*#0 lol
Jeff Hardy vs. Sting.
Since the new guys have taken over Impact, you have to admit it's been pretty good!
yup. I love impact wrestling. love them even more than WWE sometimes. I know that makes an evil individual to the "wrestling" community but I've always wanted them to rival the WWE so we can get two or more amazing wrestling shows
Simon,WWE actually didn’t market Kurt’s return to the ring at TLC as his first match since he left WWE period,they marketed it as his first match in a WWE ring in 10 years. Just go watch the vignette for it from TLC ,the narrator flat out say it was his first match in a WWE ring in 10 years
Screw That remember when Kurt won all the titles and had The promotions world title too
Deshaun Delain and X division title before he lost it to Jay Lethal.
Jamal Lewis I said all of there Titles
I never said you were wrong.
Christian was so entertaining on TNA, I’ll admit he was one of the reasons I tuned in. But I think WWE gave him a world title run because of what they saw on TNA. Unfortunately they couldn’t keep it up.
James storm is an amazing wrestler
R-truth(Ron Killings) was in tna and was champion before Christian.Road Dog and Billy gunn was VKM in tna also.just to name a few
Remember when TNA did 1 to 2million on ratings aww good old days
I miss the good old tna, never used to miss an episode. Whilst only reading up on what wwe did
Number 1 : TNA exists
Yesssssse Thank you for this some people pretend like TNA didn’t do anything for the professional Wrestling business. They did some much and continue to make history. TNA will never be forgotten.
Only 10??
Michael Brown yeah he should have made a video with "20 reasons why" or say "this is ATLEAST 10 reasons why blah blah blah"
I think the AJ flip you’re talking about is the Fosbury Flop. Tbh my fav move in wrestling
Christian was the reason i started watching TNA. and Abyss was not F*ing Kane!!! or Mankind for tht matter!!!! he was always his own character! just cos he had a mask didnt make him Kane or Mankind. RelliK had a mask did tht make him Kane as well? sorry this has been pissing me off since i started watching it with my Brother with him sayin the same thing (he also compared Beer Money Inc to the APA)
ok so tht makes Braun Strowman like Kane as well.
yes in a lot of ways braun is the new kane which is why they got into a feud about who was the one true monster in wwe.
Are you forgetting all the nonsense with Jim Mitchell that directly copied the Paul Bearer/Kane stuff? The secret son/father thing? The tortured past? Abyss' early TNA stuff was pretty much just Kane's storylines done worse.
was hoping no one know tht ;P
Christian Cage is also why I started with tna
Haven't started the video yet. I'm calling it right now: The last one will be TNA's existence
I actually thought dean malenko as LHC was the most meaningful the title was.
Wwe just disappoints but TNA never disappoints
WOAH WOAH WOAH, IT'S COULD HAVE NOT COULD OF
Another thing to remember with the Knockouts division is that they did plenty of firsts before the WWE women's revolution. They were main eventing shows a lot. Ladder matches, cage matches. They have their own annual all female ppv's and have been for the last few years. And they have been having royal rumble style matches since the division's inception. WWE women have it good right now but TNA Knockouts have been there and done it first.
R truth?
Matt Morgan?
Josh Mathews?
Tazz?
Jeff fucking Jarret? Common the list goes on
Gail Kim was also in the WWE before, yet she was way better treated in TNA, both runs.
actaully josh mathews was in wwe before tna as well.. he did pretty much nothing there, besides being on tough enuff, i think he was on smackdown for a day or two, then tna... a lot of people were in wwe (or wcw or ecw) first, but that doesn't mean that company made them... the undertaker (the person, not the character) and triple H were both in wcw before wwe... doesn't mean wwe didn't make their careers.
you guys should rank all the elimination chamber matches because they've had 20 so works out for a list plus the pay per views coming up
I miss long hair Roode... BEER MONEY!
I miss tna, I went to a house show in 2009 and it was so dope
"EC3 could of being a top star"
Seriously guys, you're writers, COULD HAVE 😂
El Muchacho it’s called an accent you fucking idiot, he said been, it sounds like “being”
+Hardy Nation Firstly, no need to be rude. Secondly, the word "being" was an autocorrect error/typo. Thirdly, what I was actually referring to was the "could of" which is incorrect
You forgot to mention that R-truth is a two time world champion in Impact.
"Could of been..."
Come on, WhatCulture!
6 months later impact is slowly becoming my favorite wrestling company again
I feel like I've seen this video before!
SINGHDASLAYA they made one with Adam along time ago this is the updated version
865 gamer no
i see kurt as both a wwe and tna guy as he held memorable moments in both
Raziel Faustus I'm glad to see that people haven't forgotten about the LoK series :)
Michael Burke it's my personal favorite game franchise
Raziel Faustus Me too. I'm still pissed that Dark Prophecy got cancelled
Michael Burke for nosgoth no less
Why would WWE want us to forget about something that's already forgotten
Versus Yt Because WWE management doesn't believe in giving it's competition a "rub": They're so dominant, that just by acknowledging the competition, they'll inadvertently give them publicity.
Versus Yt just like you after this video
Versus Yt they are still kinda competition even though they are performing poorly right now
Versus Yt must be deleted
Versus Yt it’s not forgotten if Vince is taking talent from there. The powers at wwe sure as shit haven’t forgotten them.
Looks like Gail Kim is still prospering with TNA.
WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?
Drew Kane Raven the reason I watched TNA
Him and Sting is the reason I first tuned in.
"Ec3 may be back in NXT so everything worked out just fine" 😂😂I don't think so Simon
Number 3:
Could have.
You’re welcome.
The Knockouts division was probably the biggest reason I first started watching TNA.
This video could have been short. You could have just said "All of it except for the wrestlers they got from there."
They could have just said "That TNA exists in at all and that their rapidly increasing popularity scares WWE."
Sting between WCW and WWE. Ron "the truth" killings, Conciquence Creed are a few that spring to mind.
#ThankYouGailKim always
His super miller t-shirt, is great and very fitting
1- That they ever existed to begin with.
TNA actually got me hooked on wrestling
number one that NXT is a copycat of TNA and their X division.
Not really. NXT is a development territory, it's basically an updated version of FCW. If anything, 205 Live is a copycat of the X Division.
Calliope Artemis no NXT is a copy of TNA proof is when NXT first started they were like a game show but then Triple H even told Vince McMahon hey let's make NXT more fast and Total Nonstop Action just like TNA get the name and also X division, NXT, so get it the X known for X division in TNA and then NXT and NXT even has former TNA wrestlers
Dman SportsGm Usually, the term "proof" is followed by something objective. Anyway, Calliope, I don't think DS actually believes this stuff. Seems like he's just trolling (a trend I still don't fully understand). Don't take the bait.
WWE also wants you to forget all of the now stars they passed on that were in NXT tryouts, NXT, even Tough Enough. HUGE stars like Brian Cage and Ivelise. Cage defeated Bobby Lashley in his last televised iMpact match and Ivelise has held multiple titles in Lucha Underground and other promotions.
So many of the major players but you could only name 3?
IPokeEyesOut Too many to list, it would fill all of the 10
Hey a wc wrestling vid that doesn't end with a defiant advert! Whoda thunk it!
Austin Aries
Can't blame abyss on TNA he's always been that character saw him around IWA and WWC around 2003-05 and that's way before TNA
Sorry, had to dislike because of "could of". I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THAT
I wonder how many videos you've used the stock photo girl with the braid in.
Bully Ray.
I would like to add a few more things to this list:
Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan TNA Involvement: These two guys are legends without a doubt and them being involved in the company and being an on screen authority figure and/or manager would be okay. Them being involved backstage some would have been okay. They both would have been great additions in helping some newcomers with developing their promo skills and character development. The problem was how much involvement they ended up getting into on screen including having matches of course and trying to redo NWO as Immortal. Combine that with the likelihood they were pulling strings backstage to get more screen time and money and pushing story lines and how their characters should be treated and it all spells disaster. I'm not sure if any of it is true and it could have just been TNA's writers fault, but we are talking about Hogan and to a slightly lesser extent Flair.
Kevin Nash, Booker T, the Dudleys, and Sting: Like Christian and Kurt Angle, these 5 men were all really big stars already thanks to WWE, WCW, and ECW. Of course, Sting never actually appeared in WWE until after TNA, but they obviously still don't want us to remember his time there. Booker T and Kevin Nash are former world champs. Booker T is a former King of the Ring. Kevin Nash was also part of the original NWO and while WWE don't like to give credit to WCW, they still will cash in on that NWO nostalgia and don't want anyone to know that such a big star as Nash went to TNA. The Dudleys are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, are a 1/3 of one of the best WWE matches of all time, and trying to hide their WCW, ECW, and WWE history is probably an arduous task (the same could be said about Nash, Booker T, Christian, Angle, Hogan, Flair, and even Sting since he was pretty big in WCW). Lastly, while Booker T only had a few years in the company like Christian, Nash, Sting, the Dudleys, and Angle were all there for a decade or a little less in Nash's case.
