Slammiversary XI recap: TNA celebrates 11 years with truly superb event in Boston

Kurt Angle Slammiversary

Bully Ray makes history in hard-hitting main event against Sting, and TNA names second Hall of Fame inductee, and the Knockouts steal the show… When Total Notstop Action Wrestling first debuted in June 2002, very few wrestling fans would have predicted that it would still be going today. With the demise of once-popular promotions WCW and ECW still fresh in audience memories, this new company looked like little more than yet another independent promotion boasting a couple of big names on the marquee. Eleven years on, and TNA Impact Wrestling is now a truly global brand that continues to grow…

TNA Turning Point 2012: Scaling New Heights?

Source: facebook.com/impactwrestling

One month removed from its biggest show of the year, TNA staged its Turning Point pay-per-view this past Sunday night, headlined by a return clash pitting Austin Aries against Jeff Hardy – this time with the gold suspended high above the ring. Ben Veal gives his thoughts on the action. It was always going to be hard for TNA to follow a show like Bound For Glory. Last month in Philadelphia, the company put on one of its strongest showings in quite some time, in front of a rabid crowd that really lifted the action by providing that all-important atmosphere…

TNA Bound For Glory 2012: One Big Show. One Unpopular Finale.

Source: impactwrestling.com

This past Sunday, TNA presented its biggest show of the year, Bound For Glory, in front of a white-hot crowd in Phoenix, Arizona. With some highly-anticipated grudge matches on the card, and ‘The Greatest Man That Ever Lived’ defending the Heavyweight Championship in the main event, this show had the potential to be one to remember. But after all of the hype and build-up – did it deliver? TNA have done a great job of building up Bound For Glory over the past few years. Whilst still not considered on the same level as the WWE’s WrestleMania - or even SummerSlam events –…

The Impact Report: Hardy’s Bound For Glory Quest Continues

Aries-Kaz-13Sept2012

The following article features match-by-match thoughts of last Thursday’s edition of Impact Wrestling, which aired in the UK on Challenge TV on Sunday 16th September. Hot off the heels of a twist-filled No Surrender pay-per view, this week’s edition of Impact Wrestling kicked off with the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries. Aries quickly set aside his recent troubles with Aces & Eights and reinforced the importance of TNA’s premier title, stating that with it comes power. Aries then called out the new number one contender for the gold, the man who “overcame the odds” at No Surrender … Jeff Hardy. Hardy came out to…

Trading Places: WWE and TNA swaps we’d like to see

1137060917_tTNML-M-1

There’s been a lot of talk lately of contract statuses, mostly those of TNA wrestlers. From Devon and Bully Ray to Velvet Sky and Angelina Love, it seems that everybody is hoping that the grass is greener on the other side. Chris Pilkington lists four members of the TNA roster that we think would make an Impact (pun intended) in the WWE, as well as four WWE Superstars who could lay the Smackdown in TNA. It’s not often I play fantasy booker. There’s a very good reason why I’m not running the booking office at Titan Towers right now, and that’s…

The Aries Era has begun!

Austin Aries - TNA World Champion

By way of a minor miracle, I managed to avoid all TNA spoilers for the past four days – which meant that I have been able to sit through and enjoy the surprises of a terrific Destination X pay-per-view, and have just witnessed the culmination of the show’s main event between World Champion Bobby Roode and Mr. Austin Aries. In a terrific back and forth encounter between the two, it seemed a sure thing that Roode would retain the big belt by some dubious means, and that yet another great TNA PPV would end on a sour note with a…

Interview: Austin Aries on Destination X, Titles … and Peanut Butter Sandwiches!

SetWidth584-aries2

In just over a weeks time, “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” will main event his first ever TNA PPV. At Destination X, Austin Aries goes one on one with Bobby Roode with the TNA World Heavyweight Title on the line. Whilst Aries’ talents have never been called into question, few could have predicted his meteoric rise to the top of the card over the last twelve months (although, let’s be honest, we kind of did). Yet, through a combination of both hard work and determination, Austin Aries turned a one shot deal into a year long reign of awesomeness.…
