Also, they hired Alexander Hammerstone and not doing anything to him is a such a bad decision. Yeah he's in a make shift tag team with Jake Something but why?
I was mad because why wont they gave him a character..idk maybe they already work on it as Alex is a big name wrestler why sign him if not using him properly and TNA creative know how to wrote a long term storytelling
AJ Styles was actually invited to be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame during Bound For Glory, but he turned down the appearance because he doesn't want to be inducted into any HOF while he's still an active wrestler. Given that, I'm sure he eventually would be open to return to TNA for something, alas now also isn't the time so long as he's recovering from a Lisfranc injury.
TNA's biggest problem has always been that they take far too long to push their young talent to the main event scene over old or ex wwe stars. They wait until they are at the end of their run to try and do something with them. Some of the best wrestlers in the company seem to have a ceiling of being in the X Division or being forced into random tag teams. This is why a real midcard title would help that men's division tremendously.
@@animedrawer69 they done the secondary title bit with the Global, Legends, Grand Prix and TV title. It never worked because of the X-division title. That title needs to be completely scrap as it has the stigmata for small wrestlers who can’t hang with heavy weights. Doesn’t matter how many times they do the no limits jive it will always be a work rate title. They need to take that talent and rebrand the title name and have the light weight and heavy weights compete in meaningful matches. TNA has never had enough talent or tv time for 3 belts.
The big issue they are facing is also the change in management recently. scott d'amore was fired due to having different views with those controlling the strings. He was spending money on big name people and management didn't want that. If they don't want to spend money then they will not compete with aew or wwe in retaining talent
They never have and never will. Once a bigger opportunity or bag came along, TNA always lost it's top names. It's probably got the most roster turnover of any non-indy wrestling promotion ever, and if ran correctly that doesn't have to be a bad thing. The only originals left are Frankie Kazarian and Eric Young, and they've left for greener pastures on multiple occasions. Anthem's smartest move was working with outside companies like AEW and WWE to get as many eyes on their product as possible with talent exchanges while also accepting the inevitable fate that they're going to lose their bigger and brighter stars to them eventually. In the meantime they can get some of their bigger stars to appear on their show.
Spending all your money on just a few names is unsustainable. There are tons of indie guys they could have brought in that they could have built up to be stars. Mike Bailey and Ospreay gave them one of the highest match ratings in TNA history. When they couldn't get Ospreay the obvious answer should have been to make Mike Bailey your Ace and push him towards the top of the card. Instead he was just stuck in the X Division.
The partnership between tna and the wwe reminds me of the old days when vince worked with small promotions to cherry pick their big name talent just like they are doing now. Once they get who they want from tna the partnership is over and they will buy them out. I can see this happening with talent from other idypromotions signing up to the wweid deal as well . Once someone signs with wwe they become the sole possession of the wwe and can not work anywhere else
Thats not why D'Amore was fired. spending dollars on names wasn't sustainable, D'Amore was good for the product, but didn't understand the business and numbers aspect,
The issue is that if you keep spending the big money, you run the risk of going bust. WWE and AEW have endless funds, TNA never has, spending big money on big names is what nearly killed the company half a dozen times over
Joe Hendry needs to win the TNA World Championship before he leaves and go over to WWE. The guy is the most popular wrestler right now and if they don’t pull the trigger that would be a hell of a missed opportunity
@@ledesordrecestmoi1haha. Nobody buys a pay per view to see Nic Nemeth. TNA knows it. His title defense didn't headline the show. They should use Hendry while they have him. Joe's hot right now. TNA should take advantage of it while they can.
It makes business. Wrestling has changed, champions are determined by what wealth they bring to the federation, not who can stretch who.@ledesordrecestmoi1
Hendry clearly should've won the title at Bound for Glory. Even if it was only going to be a few month reign before leaving the company. He can put over a younger star on the way out and when Hendry makes it big in WWE that young star will have gotten the rub of beating Hendry.
A lot of this comes down to tv deal AEW is in the number 2 spot due to there tv deal with Warner Brothers Discovery and being on TBS etc Also money the financial backing , if AEW lost that tv deal and was on a smaller network TNA would likely have a shot at overtaking AEW or at least being on par with them if they had the backing also to retain talent
TNA is owned by the parent company of AXS, so a new network isn’t coming down the line unless that changes. Since only about 1% of households get the AXS network, they’re never going to be competition for WWE or even AEW.
I think both should be on the main roster too. They had several guest appearances in NXT but that was while also being under contract to TNA. But if they sign with WWE they easily could make main roster debuts.
Jordyn Grace YES because her contract end at Jan-Feb 2025 while NO and maybe YES to Joe Hendry because of his TNA contract end at the end of 2025 so Joe still have a long time
TNA's partnerships with AEW and WWE aren't benefitting them. It doesn't help how they aren't on national TV or how they film their shows months in advance. It's a weird limbo TNA is in
TNA is more or less a glorified developmental territory. I don't think they'll really ever expand beyond that in the forseeable future. If they're content being that kind of a promotion they can continue on for awhile.
They don’t film their shows months in advance. They haven’t done that in 7 years. They have a live show every single month and will at most tape 4 Impact episodes over one weekend, but that’s only about 7 times a year they’ll run a city just for tapings. They’ll be doing a live episode of Impact in January.
Jordynne is done and going to wwe full time….she prob felt guilty leaving TNA before bc of her history there but now that there’s a working relationship with wwe, there’s no way she doesn’t jump at the chance to wrestle on the biggest stage for the biggest paychecks
That "TNA is the second biggest promotion" is laughable, like people who say it, love talk about aew numbers but if you look at them a extremely successful TNA PPV has the attendance of a Collision episode. In everything ratings attendance social media presence AEW is miles away of TNA just like they wwe is miles ahead AEW in all those things.
The trouble is, TNA are run like a proper company so they can't compete with AEW on wages, let alone the WWE. It's going to be interesting to see what the WWEs bigger plans are, I don't think it is simply about recruiting a few people here and there, they were more than able to do that without this deal. My hunch is that they're hoping to use TNA as a place for people who have been around NXT for a while, but aren't ready for the main roster. They need to make space for the NIL graduates, and possibly the WWEID folks soon. Hopefully that helps carry TNA up to a level where they can give wages that are good enough for people to turn down a big offer in place of getting to work in a place that is booked properly
@charleswebsterjr.6350 NWA Major League Wrestling, which MLW would be the NWA's flagship promotion that already has: [1] NWA Exodus Pro MidWest [2] NWA JCP Southeast [3] NWA Chicago (FTW) [4] NWA Kross Fire Most recently: [5] NWA World League Wrestling [6] Dogg Pound Championship Wrestling, under NWA Texas. Possibly [7] NWA Major League Wrestling and [8] NWA Ohio Valley Wrestling? Along with MLW, Ohio Valley Wrestling would be perfect being under the NWA.
They could have ripped off the Summer of Punk and done a "Winter of Hendry" angle even if he's leaving for WWE. Use it to push one of their younger talents against a now heel Hendry who plans to leave with the world title. It's a classic angle that's been done over and over, and it basically always works. ECW did it, ROH, WWE, etc.
@joeblack_ Aew is dogwater rn but tna management are very stupid by not pulling the trigger on joe I haven't watch tna in like three weeks nic nemeth and fucking Eddie edwards is the next main event like what the fuck 😂😂
I am a aew guy (I sometimes skip wwe shows but never miss aew shows) but I want there to be other successful companies unlike others who bashes aew for low attendence(which doesn't makes sense to me).this wwe relationship might have given tna a temporary boost but they are not really helping them and treating them like a scouting company for draining their talent
@MrBlazemaster525 look bro I watched the interview of Scott damore where he said that tv rating wise they did around 350 k when Kenny was champion. On another note: wether tna did better or worst is another matter but aew offered a lot more talent wise than wwe. Btw I am not a hater of tna and wwe because I love wrestling and try to watch everything.i even watched the maple leaf pro wrestling and I hope Scott gets a tv deal for it.
@MrBlazemaster525 btw I am excited for wwe and aew being on huge streaming platforms which would dilute the cable scene and tna can get a tv deal and become even bigger
WWE fans wanted Joe Hendry to win TNA Wrestling's highest championship, owned by Anthem Sports and Entertainment. Lol. So far, this TNA Wrestling and WWE relationship is one sided, as the WWE might throw TNA Wrestling a random WWE developmental NXT talent.
The people claiming that tna will over take aew are the wwe fans who know that it will get them riled up for a reaction, not the fans who stuck around for all the low points in the company.
This "competition" thing is such a silly trope. WWE is in the world's wrestling empire. Larger and better than ever. AEW is a company with a solid TV deal and backed by a billionaire's son with all the money he can spend. Attendance numbers means little when you can literally pay millions to everyone and nobody cares because it's a vanity project. AEW isn't going anywhere. TNA is a company who has just rebranded for the sixth time and it's lucky to be still around. GCW might be "competition" for TNA.
They don't have a tv deal, their gates are negligible, and WWE is poaching their talent. No one is watching TNA because of the NXT partnership. It helped Joe Hendry and Jordyn Grace who are obviously going to WWE. It didn't help TNA.
I don't think AJ will go back to TNA even with this cross over they are doing as AJ had a big falling out with TNA board which is why he left shortly after becoming world champ there for the last time
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 Yep him and Joe both I remember that one time when Joe was still in WWE and TNA/Impact was still doing their one Night only events Joe said when they contact WWE to see if Bobby could be apart of it they didn't even ask for him
@@sickpup820 it's really not that simple the board of directors for TNA are all douchebags and that's why they always had trouble running it the only one that wasn't really a douchebag is when he still had control is Jeff Jarrett
You really shouldn’t put any stock into the people saying TNA is above AEW. The people saying that are the ones who would put any local indie over AEW just because they hate them with every fiber of their being for some reason. No disrespect to TNA, I very much enjoy what they put out. But there’s no debate AEW is above them, at least to me
Not pulling the trigger on Joe Hendry will be what gets him to leave. Like Matt Cordona/Zack Ryder did, he used the internet to get over and I don't think WWE is gonna let him get away like they did Matt, when he is as hot as he is, arguably one of the most over acts in wrestling right now.
I think he was leaving anyways, but they still could have pulled the trigger and used it as a chance to blur the lines and bring attention to their company by making it seem he planned to take the title with him. It's basically always worked when that angle is run.
Another problem that TNA have is Moose.Dude,if anyone ever get his shot at TNA world championship,moose will show up and f**ed up the entire situation I mean TNA need to move on ,he had so many world championship reign and if guys like HBK,Bryan Danielson,Seth Rollins, and The Undertaker ever thought that the titles would make them and WWE relevant,then they have at 10 world title reigns in their career.The crazy thing is that they never consider kazarian as a world champion.
TNA cannot compete finacially with either WWE or AEW. Never have been. They also have never been willing to listen to the fans. It has been twenty years since they put their own homegrown stars rather than pushing former WWE stars because they think the name value is worth it (spoiler, it's not).
If we're being real. TNA doesn't have the TV,(i.e. the reach AEW has), they don't have the Stars that AEW has. and AEW is ingraining itself in pop culture, with the AEW/DC Comics collab being a first step. and TNA for the past decade has been solid but NOT the beginning powerhouse that it was in 2005, and they've rebuilt themselves, but they're the 3rd horse in a Three Horse race. TNA fans are delusional about TNA becoming #2 again
@@sickpup820it doesn't matter the state of AEW at all whatsoever if you look back at how bad WWE was especially in the 2010s they still had Stars who TNA booked to the top like EC3, Lashley, McIntyre etc. Who went to WWE as soon as their contract was up it's all about money
Yup. Knew the moment TNA allowed WWE to encroach on their roster and draw them to their show, they would be losing their talent soon enough. Grace has already been fairly transparent about her endeavors in NXT so far and hendry has really liked the larger spotlight so the wrestlers loyalty only depends on their needs at the time and TNA allowed them to see someone able to give them ALL their needs in WWE. I wonder if Scott D'amore saw the forest through the trees and that was a factor in him leaving as of ALL the people there Scott was someone who used to be enhancement even back when they were still WWF. He knows how that 'brass ring' was even back then.
"they werent able to retain their top stars Thats literally NXT, once their top star becomes NXT Champion they immediately replace them with the next top star built up It keeps it fresh and makes every few months feel like a new era
tna is just missed opportunity after missed opportunity and they rlly don’t have an identity since everyone… leaves. if anything tna is just a stepping stone for them
Yeah it sucks for tna since aew and wwe are just bigger and probably offer more money for top talent its nearly impossible for tna to keep they're best talent
5;17 Yeah I would say one of the problems with the TNA/NXT realtionship is it seems like NXT/WWE is using it to poach talent from TNA Ie Grace Henry maybe Rosemary (yes please btw! Imagine Rosemary in the wyatt six?) plus with the mysterious issue of when exactly these wrestlers contracts are up (I know Grace is end of this year but I cant find anything on Hendry or Rosemary) it's very odd.
Im a TNA Podcaster who has ties with people behind the scenes at TNA. He didn't lose cuz he's going to WWE (i mean he could go there), he lost because they wanted to stretch out the improved attendance and ppv buys hes been generating to another ppv. Hes clearly gonna win at Genesis. I do expect him to drop it quickly tho. Tna doesn't do well changing booking on the fly, he will get his run (to appease the fans) but im fairly certain the goal is to put it on Mike Santana sooner than later
The majority of wrestlers want to be in the promotion that pays them the most. If they aren't quite ready or too old/injured to be there then they join the one that gives them the most/best time available on tv to prove they can be at the top table. TNA will replace their top talent with a mix of oldies and indies. The best will go onto WWE. AEW will do the same.
Not everyone needs to win championships immediately. Appreciate the slow build. People shouldn’t just be handed things just cause they’re new & known. That’s not how it should work
For some reason I just don’t think there gonna push Joe Hendry to the main event scene in wwe I just feel like the best there gonna do for him is an ic or us title run
In an age where those divisions have been heavily established by the likes of Gunther and LA Knight, I'd say that's more prestigious than holding TNA world gold.
@ ya I just don’t think he’ll win a world title in wwe even with how over he is the more over you see the least likely ur gonna win gold and the more it looks like ur gonna win gold the least likely ur actually going to that’s just how it is in the business nowadays
Serious question, I'm not trying to be a smartass. But do we know if AJ Styles even WANTS to go back to TNA for an appearance? I get it's different people in charge than when he got screwed over, but do we have any indication he has any interest in going back?
I heard they started making big money from modeling and retired. Pretty sure both popped out kids recently too. Jessie is married to an Australian guy and Peyton is married to Shawn Spears fka Ty Dillinger.
Sadly, I think TNA is just dying and I don’t think this partnership is gonna do anything for them other than them losing talent to WWE and possibly AEW Without Scott, I don’t see it thriving
Who are you fooling? Trick Williams is the most over guy in NXT. If Joe Hendry becomes a mainstay and is on NXT TV each week that might change but right now it's Trick and could stay that way until he leaves for the main roster.
ive said it on other channels, but im scared of TNA becoming NXT 2. It's not at all subtle that TNA's main eventers are hanging out on NXT, where as the trainees and jobbers of NXT are coming onto TNA. That should say it all.
I hope the best for TNA but unfortunately I sense an omen of sorts on the horizon for them. Anthem Sports & Entertainment won't invest in bringing more big name talent and nor will they shop iMPACT! to another more secured TV network (with a larger reach than their AXS-TV). Plus TNA's roster keeps on depleting (ever so quickly).
The only way that TNA would be saved is that a major company besides WWE would buy it, IE Televisa-Univision would merge TNA and Ring of Honor and form Elite Premier League Wrestling and bring in young fresh homegrown talents so they'll develop into future successes
Feel free to disagree: Even though Josh Alexander is Canadian, he'd be a great addition to Chad Gable's stable. He could cement his heel turn by renouncing his Canadian citizenship. Call me crazy, but I think that's a no brainer.
No way TNA is going to be number two They don't have the TV deal with Time Warner Discovery that AEW recently signed If ROH wasn't part of AEW they would barely be over them😊
@@TheMaskedheel Exactly, people have been calling for TNA's closure for years. If they accept the fact that they're basically just an unofficial developmental territory they can go on for a long time.
@@TheMaskedheel Anthem has been own by a USA company since 2016. Anthem don't technically don't even own TNA. Learn your facts instead of saying the same thing people say on the internet.

Im an extremely cynical former wrestling fan but I can’t deny joe hendry is a fun babyface and if you think he’s not great then you really just arent giving him a chance
I think he’s a wip. Super enjoyable baby face and I think spending some time in at the pc will edge out some thing and take him to a higher level. His match with Ethan page showed me that Ethan is on another level when compared to the two but I don’t think the Joe Hendry show is over
@@SandMan1998 what about that clown what the hell has he done in the last 4 years of note? Same match every time the guy is everything wrong with pro wrestling today aew would be significantly more watchable if he wasn’t there
An NXT vs TNA Worlds Collide ppv would definitely help. Even if WWE doesn’t send main roster names, sending their top NXT talent like Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Cora Jade, Stephanie Vaquer, Ethan Page, Tony D’Angelo, Fatal Influence, Je’Von Evans, Fraxiom & Wes Lee on those shows would be great
While I have enjoyed TNA this year more than I expected they just don't have the budget and they are probably currently being run with as small a roster as possible to actually turn something of a profit. Their partnership with WWE actually helps them out in that regard to have new people come in on their roster without actually costing them anything. Saying that while I have enjoyed it for the most part it's down to the fact that you only really have to watch the one show each week and it's easy to digest like that, you don't even have to watch Xplosion to keep up with most stuff. They haven't really done anything amazing from a story telling point of view and have kept the booking as simple as possible which isn't bad as it has made a coherent watchable show. I imagine when any of their bigger names move on at the end of their contracts they will look to bring in a few people to just replace them rather than before hand. If they keep it up and keep a steady audience coming in then at least they will probably better off than they have been in the past decade.
I've telling everybody that a lot of top TNA are leaving the company. This is what happens when you partnered with another competitor. WWE are raiding TNA talents, just as AEW raided New Japan and CMLL talents. Once WWE snag all of TNA's top talents, WWE's forbidden door will be closed. A lot of TNA talents were unhappy when Anthem fired Scott D'Amore. Anthem probably not paying their talents enough. That's why they failed to sign top free agents such as CM Punk, Okada, Mercedes Mone, and Will Ospreay. TNA is going end up like ROH soon.
TNA did over 4000 BEFORE the WWE partnership. Plus, TNA is doing bigger arenas and doing a live tapping of IMPACT in 2025. TNA is definitely not relying on WWE nor going down. But the biggest reason it isn't... their demographics don't rely on the internet to tell them what's good or bad. TNA lost that demo many yrs ago, that AEW's fan base now. It's more of Gen Xers bringing their kids to the show.
The problem with the talent exchange with NXT is that its no longer very interesting. We had an incredible start with Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace, and even the Rascalz and Riley Osborne in Ultimate X....but then it just became a passing around of mid to low cards that never win when they're on the the opposing show. If they want to keep TNA relevant, they need to do more with this opportunity. I think Moose should use Option C to challenge Trick Williams fir the NXT title; that would be amazing
It makes sense that Nemeth retained, and he did it unclean and with a rematch in thought Nemeth is still a babyface, so it makes sense for him to turn fully heel before Hendry takes the title As for the Hardys true, they should not be main eventing I hope title reign is short
I see them becoming a feeder promotion like Progress. I also tend to think more people are watching TNA than we think. They just illegally stream it. When Joe Hendry debuted in NXT, the crowd already knew the lyrics to his theme. They were very much aware of who he is. A better TV deal be incredible for them. Most people don't get AXS. But I think putting Impact on RUclips for .99 a month helps a ton. They really should push that alongside TNA+. I'd wage more people would be willing to do that. I did it till I got TNA+ to watch the monthly specials too.
First of all when AJ Styles left the company that is when the company started going downhill .Then when they fired Scott De Amore the one person who saved this company from Dixie Carter that's why their talent is leaving left and right .Once they have nobody to wrestle for them then they'll sell their tape library to WWE .This company is very lucky its lasted this long .
Meh I don't know how much I agree with this, people will always be leaving TNA to go to WWE or AEW because they have WAY more money, its less indicative of an underlying problem, with TNA. The company has had a really good year.
I love TNA; but i'm not a TNA fanboy, the company has been making a lot of mistakes these last months. The Hardys as Tag Team Champions in 2024 is strange, i hope their reigns is short.
Because... it is TNA. They've landed in a spot where the best they can apire to is a developmental where indie wrestlers can mature a bit before hopefully moving on. The two other companies have a lot more money to offer their wrestlers.
Joe Hendry feels like he's being carried by his theme song a lot. He reminds me of Matt Riddle for some reason. I highly doubt he would be much higher either. Jordynn Grace feels like same way to me. Sure she's like the Rhea Ripley of TNA but they really have a terrible time of pushing other wrestlers. I really hope AJ Styles cones back to be a booker. Much like hiw Cody Rhodes started AEW Styles made TNA ages ago. It would be fitting for him to go back and boost up the company.
Here me out: A Masha Vs Savannah Evans feud for the KO title would feed families. Two women who are very physical with their styles just having it out for the title.
Bound for Glory was actually really good. I wasn’t heart broken about Joe Hendry losing. My problem is that it got confusing and convoluted. TNA’s roster really needs some new talent. Especially their knockouts division. Even more specifically their KO Tag division. There’s literally no one except Spitfire. Everyone else is saying it, but Hammerstone needs to be pushed to the moon. Very disappointing. I watch it weekly and have mostly enjoyed it. I’m tired of the System. I like Moose as the X Division champ but I’m sooo tired of the system lol.
I like TNA, and i think being in bed with WWE has benefited TNA, due to WWEs current surge in popularity.... HOWEVER, WWE view them as a developmental company... or lower tbh. They currently have their developmental wrestlers going over TNAs top stars.
Sounds like there's too much expectation. TNA isn't trying to take over AEW's spot. Most of the names on their way out have been there for years. Jordynne has literally done everything she can. And the Knockouts always thrive with who they have, that's how Jordynne got as big as she did. TNA always has someone to step up. It's always been my number 1, so I definitely know that everything will be fine no matter what. But yeah, fans need to calm down with the expectations. Cause I've seen them do worse with less.
Wont happe. Cause tna wont oush the issue and wwe is using them. But i.agine hendry vs styles in a tna ring. Bring back the 6 sided ring for that match. Theyd get their beat ppv biy rate in decades
If TNA does surpass AEW in the near future, it would be because Shad Khan pulled the plug on AEW. If nuclear apocalypse occured, the only things that would survive are cockroaches, Keith Richards, and TNA Wrestling.

Then you could argue that the WWE are keeping TNA alive by being a developmental promotion for NXT. Maybe TNA should kinda lie down and accept this as before this intervention, TNA was dying on its arse. Like All Japan? Who talks about that promotion these days?
Update for all of u wrestling fans. Jordyn Grace TNA contract end at Jan-Feb 2025 possibly WWE RR debut Joe Hendry TNA contract end at the end of 2025 so they still have a long time to make him as their champs..BuyOut his contract?Not gonna happen their owner Anthem already rich and they see Joe as their asset that is why they let Joe appear more in Nxt to growing their audience
Also, they hired Alexander Hammerstone and not doing anything to him is a such a bad decision. Yeah he's in a make shift tag team with Jake Something but why?
Hammerstone has it all, the guy's a star, TNA are really doing him a disservice.
I'm really disappointed in how they have used him. I love the tag team with Jake but they have dropped the ball on him on the Tony Kahn level drop.
Attitude might be the reason

The big issue they are facing is also the change in management recently. scott d'amore was fired due to having different views with those controlling the strings. He was spending money on big name people and management didn't want that. If they don't want to spend money then they will not compete with aew or wwe in retaining talent
They never have and never will. Once a bigger opportunity or bag came along, TNA always lost it's top names. It's probably got the most roster turnover of any non-indy wrestling promotion ever, and if ran correctly that doesn't have to be a bad thing. The only originals left are Frankie Kazarian and Eric Young, and they've left for greener pastures on multiple occasions. Anthem's smartest move was working with outside companies like AEW and WWE to get as many eyes on their product as possible with talent exchanges while also accepting the inevitable fate that they're going to lose their bigger and brighter stars to them eventually. In the meantime they can get some of their bigger stars to appear on their show.
Spending all your money on just a few names is unsustainable. There are tons of indie guys they could have brought in that they could have built up to be stars. Mike Bailey and Ospreay gave them one of the highest match ratings in TNA history. When they couldn't get Ospreay the obvious answer should have been to make Mike Bailey your Ace and push him towards the top of the card. Instead he was just stuck in the X Division.
The partnership between tna and the wwe reminds me of the old days when vince worked with small promotions to cherry pick their big name talent just like they are doing now. Once they get who they want from tna the partnership is over and they will buy them out. I can see this happening with talent from other idypromotions signing up to the wweid deal as well . Once someone signs with wwe they become the sole possession of the wwe and can not work anywhere else
Thats not why D'Amore was fired. spending dollars on names wasn't sustainable, D'Amore was good for the product, but didn't understand the business and numbers aspect,
The issue is that if you keep spending the big money, you run the risk of going bust. WWE and AEW have endless funds, TNA never has, spending big money on big names is what nearly killed the company half a dozen times over
Henry is also on a deal where he trains at the NXT performance centre during the week.
Hendry*
Oh yeah he gone.
Joe Hendry needs to win the TNA World Championship before he leaves and go over to WWE. The guy is the most popular wrestler right now and if they don’t pull the trigger that would be a hell of a missed opportunity
yes, but he's not a better wrestler than Nic Nemeth. So it would make no sense. Overness alone
doens't make champions.
I doubt he'll go to WWE
@@ledesordrecestmoi1haha. Nobody buys a pay per view to see Nic Nemeth. TNA knows it. His title defense didn't headline the show. They should use Hendry while they have him. Joe's hot right now. TNA should take advantage of it while they can.
It makes business. Wrestling has changed, champions are determined by what wealth they bring to the federation, not who can stretch who.@ledesordrecestmoi1
Hendry clearly should've won the title at Bound for Glory. Even if it was only going to be a few month reign before leaving the company. He can put over a younger star on the way out and when Hendry makes it big in WWE that young star will have gotten the rub of beating Hendry.
The only people who think TNA can be the #2 promotion again are the people who want AEW to fail
AEW has the best welterweight division in wrestling.
A lot of this comes down to tv deal AEW is in the number 2 spot due to there tv deal with Warner Brothers Discovery and being on TBS etc Also money the financial backing , if AEW lost that tv deal and was on a smaller network TNA would likely have a shot at overtaking AEW or at least being on par with them if they had the backing also to retain talent
TNA is owned by the parent company of AXS, so a new network isn’t coming down the line unless that changes. Since only about 1% of households get the AXS network, they’re never going to be competition for WWE or even AEW.

I bet Jordynne Grace and Joe Hendry debut at the Royal Rumble!
I think both should be on the main roster too. They had several guest appearances in NXT but that was while also being under contract to TNA. But if they sign with WWE they easily could make main roster debuts.
Grace has been in the rumble already had like 4 elims or something
Jordyn Grace YES because her contract end at Jan-Feb 2025 while NO and maybe YES to Joe Hendry because of his TNA contract end at the end of 2025 so Joe still have a long time
Grace better kick the steroids first...
Grace contract is up next month she will mostly definitely be in the rumble @@daltonkennedy2966
TNA's partnerships with AEW and WWE aren't benefitting them. It doesn't help how they aren't on national TV or how they film their shows months in advance. It's a weird limbo TNA is in
TNA is more or less a glorified developmental territory. I don't think they'll really ever expand beyond that in the forseeable future. If they're content being that kind of a promotion they can continue on for awhile.
@@joemckim1183 your thought process is limited then
Yeah with a better TV Deal they could at least start giving AEW a run for it's money @@packedentertainment2866
@@packedentertainment2866 These clowns just parrot each other with no rhyme or reason.
They don’t film their shows months in advance. They haven’t done that in 7 years. They have a live show every single month and will at most tape 4 Impact episodes over one weekend, but that’s only about 7 times a year they’ll run a city just for tapings. They’ll be doing a live episode of Impact in January.
Jordynne is done and going to wwe full time….she prob felt guilty leaving TNA before bc of her history there but now that there’s a working relationship with wwe, there’s no way she doesn’t jump at the chance to wrestle on the biggest stage for the biggest paychecks
I predict that she will be NXT Women's Champion next year.
Yup her deal expires next month I would say she pops up at the rumble.
That "TNA is the second biggest promotion" is laughable, like people who say it, love talk about aew numbers but if you look at them a extremely successful TNA PPV has the attendance of a Collision episode. In everything ratings attendance social media presence AEW is miles away of TNA just like they wwe is miles ahead AEW in all those things.
The trouble is, TNA are run like a proper company so they can't compete with AEW on wages, let alone the WWE. It's going to be interesting to see what the WWEs bigger plans are, I don't think it is simply about recruiting a few people here and there, they were more than able to do that without this deal. My hunch is that they're hoping to use TNA as a place for people who have been around NXT for a while, but aren't ready for the main roster. They need to make space for the NIL graduates, and possibly the WWEID folks soon. Hopefully that helps carry TNA up to a level where they can give wages that are good enough for people to turn down a big offer in place of getting to work in a place that is booked properly
TNA Wrestling vs. National Wrestling Alliance vs. Major League Wrestling
Honestly MLW and NWA can definitely look at what TNA is doing, there's no reason they can't grow like TNA.
@charleswebsterjr.6350 Nah MLW and NWA is boring 😴 😑
@charleswebsterjr.6350 NWA Major League Wrestling, which MLW would be the NWA's flagship promotion that already has:
[1] NWA Exodus Pro MidWest

[4] NWA Kross Fire
Most recently:
[5] NWA World League Wrestling
[6] Dogg Pound Championship Wrestling, under NWA Texas.
Possibly [7] NWA Major League Wrestling and [8] NWA Ohio Valley Wrestling?
Along with MLW, Ohio Valley Wrestling would be perfect being under the NWA.
@@Mr.Majestic77not a bad idea honestly
Hendry not winning is still bad booking even if he leaves soon. Just let him win and then loose it surpringly on TV
They could have ripped off the Summer of Punk and done a "Winter of Hendry" angle even if he's leaving for WWE. Use it to push one of their younger talents against a now heel Hendry who plans to leave with the world title. It's a classic angle that's been done over and over, and it basically always works. ECW did it, ROH, WWE, etc.
And then whoever beats him for the belt will get the rub of beating him after he goes to WWE and becomes a big star.

@joeblack_ Aew is dogwater rn but tna management are very stupid by not pulling the trigger on joe I haven't watch tna in like three weeks nic nemeth and fucking Eddie edwards is the next main event like what the fuck 😂😂
I am a aew guy (I sometimes skip wwe shows but never miss aew shows) but I want there to be other successful companies unlike others who bashes aew for low attendence(which doesn't makes sense to me).this wwe relationship might have given tna a temporary boost but they are not really helping them and treating them like a scouting company for draining their talent
LOL as if AEW did anything of the sort when they "partnered" with TNA 😂😂😂😂
@MrBlazemaster525 look bro I watched the interview of Scott damore where he said that tv rating wise they did around 350 k when Kenny was champion. On another note: wether tna did better or worst is another matter but aew offered a lot more talent wise than wwe.
Btw I am not a hater of tna and wwe because I love wrestling and try to watch everything.i even watched the maple leaf pro wrestling and I hope Scott gets a tv deal for it.
@MrBlazemaster525 btw I am excited for wwe and aew being on huge streaming platforms which would dilute the cable scene and tna can get a tv deal and become even bigger
WWE fans wanted Joe Hendry to win TNA Wrestling's highest championship, owned by Anthem Sports and Entertainment. Lol.
So far, this TNA Wrestling and WWE relationship is one sided, as the WWE might throw TNA Wrestling a random WWE developmental NXT talent.
The people claiming that tna will over take aew are the wwe fans who know that it will get them riled up for a reaction, not the fans who stuck around for all the low points in the company.
This "competition" thing is such a silly trope.
WWE is in the world's wrestling empire. Larger and better than ever.
AEW is a company with a solid TV deal and backed by a billionaire's son with all the money he can spend. Attendance numbers means little when you can literally pay millions to everyone and nobody cares because it's a vanity project. AEW isn't going anywhere.
TNA is a company who has just rebranded for the sixth time and it's lucky to be still around.
GCW might be "competition" for TNA.
Agreed good to have other companies you internet trolls need to stop with the competition bullshit and trolling you will all moan if its just WWE
They don't have a tv deal, their gates are negligible, and WWE is poaching their talent. No one is watching TNA because of the NXT partnership. It helped Joe Hendry and Jordyn Grace who are obviously going to WWE. It didn't help TNA.
We thought the partnership would be beneficial to both companies, but right now, WWE is the only company to benefit.
I don't think AJ will go back to TNA even with this cross over they are doing as AJ had a big falling out with TNA board which is why he left shortly after becoming world champ there for the last time
He has a lot of bad blood with TNA!
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 Yep him and Joe both I remember that one time when Joe was still in WWE and TNA/Impact was still doing their one Night only events Joe said when they contact WWE to see if Bobby could be apart of it they didn't even ask for him
They couldn't afford to keep him back then, simple as that.
@@sickpup820They could have made it work.
@@sickpup820 it's really not that simple the board of directors for TNA are all douchebags and that's why they always had trouble running it the only one that wasn't really a douchebag is when he still had control is Jeff Jarrett
You really shouldn’t put any stock into the people saying TNA is above AEW. The people saying that are the ones who would put any local indie over AEW just because they hate them with every fiber of their being for some reason.
No disrespect to TNA, I very much enjoy what they put out. But there’s no debate AEW is above them, at least to me
Not pulling the trigger on Joe Hendry will be what gets him to leave. Like Matt Cordona/Zack Ryder did, he used the internet to get over and I don't think WWE is gonna let him get away like they did Matt, when he is as hot as he is, arguably one of the most over acts in wrestling right now.
I think he was leaving anyways, but they still could have pulled the trigger and used it as a chance to blur the lines and bring attention to their company by making it seem he planned to take the title with him. It's basically always worked when that angle is run.
Hendry was probably leaving TNA regardless but even so they should've given him a 3 month title reign first.
Joe Hendry's contract expires at the end of 2025. They'll have enough time to make him champion. 2025 will be his year!
Another problem that TNA have is Moose.Dude,if anyone ever get his shot at TNA world championship,moose will show up and f**ed up the entire situation I mean TNA need to move on ,he had so many world championship reign and if guys like HBK,Bryan Danielson,Seth Rollins, and The Undertaker ever thought that the titles would make them and WWE relevant,then they have at 10 world title reigns in their career.The crazy thing is that they never consider kazarian as a world champion.
They probably know that Moose is already older so is probably going to finish his wrestling career in TNA is why they keep giving him the belt.
You know it’s a bad sign for TNA when you see NXT stars showing up on TNA wrestling, it’s just a matter of time before Vince buys TNA!
Do you have a brain in your head at all?
Each and every year, they say the same
TNA cannot compete finacially with either WWE or AEW. Never have been. They also have never been willing to listen to the fans. It has been twenty years since they put their own homegrown stars rather than pushing former WWE stars because they think the name value is worth it (spoiler, it's not).
Hendry rumble appearance coming up
And Hendry then should get about a 20 minute run in the Rumble before getting eliminated.
If we're being real. TNA doesn't have the TV,(i.e. the reach AEW has), they don't have the Stars that AEW has. and AEW is ingraining itself in pop culture, with the AEW/DC Comics collab being a first step. and TNA for the past decade has been solid but NOT the beginning powerhouse that it was in 2005, and they've rebuilt themselves, but they're the 3rd horse in a Three Horse race. TNA fans are delusional about TNA becoming #2 again
Lmao, AEW are in a very sharpe decline, even Meltzer is starting to acknowledge it now.
@@sickpup820it doesn't matter the state of AEW at all whatsoever if you look back at how bad WWE was especially in the 2010s they still had Stars who TNA booked to the top like EC3, Lashley, McIntyre etc. Who went to WWE as soon as their contract was up it's all about money
Yup. Knew the moment TNA allowed WWE to encroach on their roster and draw them to their show, they would be losing their talent soon enough.
Grace has already been fairly transparent about her endeavors in NXT so far and hendry has really liked the larger spotlight so the wrestlers loyalty only depends on their needs at the time and TNA allowed them to see someone able to give them ALL their needs in WWE.
I wonder if Scott D'amore saw the forest through the trees and that was a factor in him leaving as of ALL the people there Scott was someone who used to be enhancement even back when they were still WWF.
He knows how that 'brass ring' was even back then.
As opposed to before when they never signed TNA talent.
Oh wait.
@@TheSkyatollah yeah You might want to rethink that process there..

TNA should poach a few AEW non used talents for the main event like Miro, Scorpio Sky, Anthony Ogogo.
Yeah it sucks for tna since aew and wwe are just bigger and probably offer more money for top talent its nearly impossible for tna to keep they're best talent
5;17 Yeah I would say one of the problems with the TNA/NXT realtionship is it seems like NXT/WWE is using it to poach talent from TNA Ie Grace Henry maybe Rosemary (yes please btw! Imagine Rosemary in the wyatt six?) plus with the mysterious issue of when exactly these wrestlers contracts are up (I know Grace is end of this year but I cant find anything on Hendry or Rosemary) it's very odd.
Im a TNA Podcaster who has ties with people behind the scenes at TNA. He didn't lose cuz he's going to WWE (i mean he could go there), he lost because they wanted to stretch out the improved attendance and ppv buys hes been generating to another ppv. Hes clearly gonna win at Genesis. I do expect him to drop it quickly tho. Tna doesn't do well changing booking on the fly, he will get his run (to appease the fans) but im fairly certain the goal is to put it on Mike Santana sooner than later
The majority of wrestlers want to be in the promotion that pays them the most. If they aren't quite ready or too old/injured to be there then they join the one that gives them the most/best time available on tv to prove they can be at the top table. TNA will replace their top talent with a mix of oldies and indies. The best will go onto WWE. AEW will do the same.
Book Hammerstone better.
Was in the main event this week.
Yea I agree. Hammer should be the top guy, but got beat clean by WWEs developmental midcard champ. 😂
Not everyone needs to win championships immediately. Appreciate the slow build. People shouldn’t just be handed things just cause they’re new & known. That’s not how it should work
@@ryandavis4448 he should not be the top guy, there are far better stars than him on the roster. He needs to earn his way to the top.
For some reason I just don’t think there gonna push Joe Hendry to the main event scene in wwe I just feel like the best there gonna do for him is an ic or us title run
In an age where those divisions have been heavily established by the likes of Gunther and LA Knight, I'd say that's more prestigious than holding TNA world gold.
@ ya I just don’t think he’ll win a world title in wwe even with how over he is the more over you see the least likely ur gonna win gold and the more it looks like ur gonna win gold the least likely ur actually going to that’s just how it is in the business nowadays

Serious question, I'm not trying to be a smartass. But do we know if AJ Styles even WANTS to go back to TNA for an appearance? I get it's different people in charge than when he got screwed over, but do we have any indication he has any interest in going back?
Ever since Scott D’Amore left, they have gone downhill.

Is the background music from Bully?
Who are you fooling? Trick Williams is the most over guy in NXT. If Joe Hendry becomes a mainstay and is on NXT TV each week that might change but right now it's Trick and could stay that way until he leaves for the main roster.
I don’t know… Trick is no doubt the face of NXT, but dang, Hendry was pretty freaking over during his run.
Trick is charismatic sure but Hendry could wrestle circles around him
ive said it on other channels, but im scared of TNA becoming NXT 2. It's not at all subtle that TNA's main eventers are hanging out on NXT, where as the trainees and jobbers of NXT are coming onto TNA. That should say it all.
I hope the best for TNA but unfortunately I sense an omen of sorts on the horizon for them. Anthem Sports & Entertainment won't invest in bringing more big name talent and nor will they shop iMPACT! to another more secured TV network (with a larger reach than their AXS-TV). Plus TNA's roster keeps on depleting (ever so quickly).
The only way that TNA would be saved is that a major company besides WWE would buy it, IE Televisa-Univision would merge TNA and Ring of Honor and form Elite Premier League Wrestling and bring in young fresh homegrown talents so they'll develop into future successes
That sounds FN cringe
Feel free to disagree: Even though Josh Alexander is Canadian, he'd be a great addition to Chad Gable's stable. He could cement his heel turn by renouncing his Canadian citizenship. Call me crazy, but I think that's a no brainer.
TLDR; TNA Bound For Glory, we voluntarily CUCK ourselves to the WWE
No way TNA is going to be number two They don't have the TV deal with Time Warner Discovery that AEW recently signed If ROH wasn't part of AEW they would barely be over them😊

I think he’s a wip. Super enjoyable baby face and I think spending some time in at the pc will edge out some thing and take him to a higher level. His match with Ethan page showed me that Ethan is on another level when compared to the two but I don’t think the Joe Hendry show is over

WHO THINKS TNA IS GOING TO BEAT AEW? TNA AVERAGES ABOUT 80K VIEWERS AEW AVERAGES OVER 660K!...
An NXT vs TNA Worlds Collide ppv would definitely help. Even if WWE doesn’t send main roster names, sending their top NXT talent like Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Cora Jade, Stephanie Vaquer, Ethan Page, Tony D’Angelo, Fatal Influence, Je’Von Evans, Fraxiom & Wes Lee on those shows would be great
While I have enjoyed TNA this year more than I expected they just don't have the budget and they are probably currently being run with as small a roster as possible to actually turn something of a profit. Their partnership with WWE actually helps them out in that regard to have new people come in on their roster without actually costing them anything.
Saying that while I have enjoyed it for the most part it's down to the fact that you only really have to watch the one show each week and it's easy to digest like that, you don't even have to watch Xplosion to keep up with most stuff. They haven't really done anything amazing from a story telling point of view and have kept the booking as simple as possible which isn't bad as it has made a coherent watchable show. I imagine when any of their bigger names move on at the end of their contracts they will look to bring in a few people to just replace them rather than before hand. If they keep it up and keep a steady audience coming in then at least they will probably better off than they have been in the past decade.
I've telling everybody that a lot of top TNA are leaving the company. This is what happens when you partnered with another competitor. WWE are raiding TNA talents, just as AEW raided New Japan and CMLL talents. Once WWE snag all of TNA's top talents, WWE's forbidden door will be closed. A lot of TNA talents were unhappy when Anthem fired Scott D'Amore. Anthem probably not paying their talents enough. That's why they failed to sign top free agents such as CM Punk, Okada, Mercedes Mone, and Will Ospreay. TNA is going end up like ROH soon.
If only TNA had Tony Khan money & good tv deal.
Exactly
Exactly
If Joe Hendry goes to WWE every one already knows he's gonna be a jobber 😂😂😂😂😂😂
TNA will never over take AEW
TNA did over 4000 BEFORE the WWE partnership.
Plus, TNA is doing bigger arenas and doing a live tapping of IMPACT in 2025. TNA is definitely not relying on WWE nor going down.
But the biggest reason it isn't... their demographics don't rely on the internet to tell them what's good or bad. TNA lost that demo many yrs ago, that AEW's fan base now.
It's more of Gen Xers bringing their kids to the show.
TNA won't be the number 2 again. Company prime was in 2004-2009.
The problem with the talent exchange with NXT is that its no longer very interesting. We had an incredible start with Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace, and even the Rascalz and Riley Osborne in Ultimate X....but then it just became a passing around of mid to low cards that never win when they're on the the opposing show. If they want to keep TNA relevant, they need to do more with this opportunity. I think Moose should use Option C to challenge Trick Williams fir the NXT title; that would be amazing
I have a feeling that wwe might end up buying it.
It makes sense that Nemeth retained, and he did it unclean and with a rematch in thought
Nemeth is still a babyface, so it makes sense for him to turn fully heel before Hendry takes the title
As for the Hardys true, they should not be main eventing I hope title reign is short
I see them becoming a feeder promotion like Progress. I also tend to think more people are watching TNA than we think. They just illegally stream it. When Joe Hendry debuted in NXT, the crowd already knew the lyrics to his theme. They were very much aware of who he is. A better TV deal be incredible for them. Most people don't get AXS. But I think putting Impact on RUclips for .99 a month helps a ton. They really should push that alongside TNA+. I'd wage more people would be willing to do that. I did it till I got TNA+ to watch the monthly specials too.

First of all when AJ Styles left the company that is when the company started going downhill .Then when they fired Scott De Amore the one person who saved this company from Dixie Carter that's why their talent is leaving left and right .Once they have nobody to wrestle for them then they'll sell their tape library to WWE .This company is very lucky its lasted this long .
Meh I don't know how much I agree with this, people will always be leaving TNA to go to WWE or AEW because they have WAY more money, its less indicative of an underlying problem, with TNA. The company has had a really good year.
I love TNA; but i'm not a TNA fanboy, the company has been making a lot of mistakes these last months.
The Hardys as Tag Team Champions in 2024 is strange, i hope their reigns is short.
Because... it is TNA.
They've landed in a spot where the best they can apire to is a developmental where indie wrestlers can mature a bit before hopefully moving on. The two other companies have a lot more money to offer their wrestlers.
You're a clown. How are they a "developmental" at all?
Joe Hendry And Jordyn Grace are just waiting for their contract to end.
They got a roster spot in NXT or the main roster if they got lucky.
Grace is in NXT
Hendry only works on the indies. Y’all may not like it, but it’s the truth.
wrong
True
Joe Hendry feels like he's being carried by his theme song a lot. He reminds me of Matt Riddle for some reason. I highly doubt he would be much higher either.
Jordynn Grace feels like same way to me. Sure she's like the Rhea Ripley of TNA but they really have a terrible time of pushing other wrestlers.
I really hope AJ Styles cones back to be a booker. Much like hiw Cody Rhodes started AEW Styles made TNA ages ago. It would be fitting for him to go back and boost up the company.
Here me out: A Masha Vs Savannah Evans feud for the KO title would feed families. Two women who are very physical with their styles just having it out for the title.
Bound for Glory was actually really good. I wasn’t heart broken about Joe Hendry losing. My problem is that it got confusing and convoluted.
TNA’s roster really needs some new talent. Especially their knockouts division. Even more specifically their KO Tag division. There’s literally no one except Spitfire.
Everyone else is saying it, but Hammerstone needs to be pushed to the moon. Very disappointing.
I watch it weekly and have mostly enjoyed it. I’m tired of the System. I like Moose as the X Division champ but I’m sooo tired of the system lol.
WWE did something brilliant. They turned TNA into a developmental brand for NXT.
On what grounds?
Is that the L4D song in the background?
I like TNA, and i think being in bed with WWE has benefited TNA, due to WWEs current surge in popularity.... HOWEVER, WWE view them as a developmental company... or lower tbh. They currently have their developmental wrestlers going over TNAs top stars.
Cool video as always Tom 💯
"Wrestlers are leaving" Name one of any value not named Mike Bailey other than the Machine Guns since Scott got fired.
My question is:
Why are the Hardys still being pushed in 2024???
TNA is still making the same mistake with Joe Hendry just like they did with Samoa Joe when he was sooooo over with the fans
How? He's clearly being built up to win the belt at Genesis.
Why not give the Masha Slamsvich vs Jordynne Grace Women's title match the Main Event spot?
Josh Alexander, Jordynne Grace, Joe Hendry and Mike Bailey are leaving TNA.
Sounds like there's too much expectation. TNA isn't trying to take over AEW's spot. Most of the names on their way out have been there for years. Jordynne has literally done everything she can. And the Knockouts always thrive with who they have, that's how Jordynne got as big as she did. TNA always has someone to step up. It's always been my number 1, so I definitely know that everything will be fine no matter what. But yeah, fans need to calm down with the expectations. Cause I've seen them do worse with less.
Im afraid you're being too reasonable for wrestling discourse
Wont happe. Cause tna wont oush the issue and wwe is using them. But i.agine hendry vs styles in a tna ring. Bring back the 6 sided ring for that match. Theyd get their beat ppv biy rate in decades
If TNA does surpass AEW in the near future, it would be because Shad Khan pulled the plug on AEW.
If nuclear apocalypse occured, the only things that would survive are cockroaches, Keith Richards, and TNA Wrestling.
