10 Ways TNA/Impact Was Great For The Wrestling Business

10. 'Weird' Wrestling

Professional wrestling, as a concept, is admittedly a bit strange. At its surface, it's just people choreographing physical and sometimes acrobatic moves to simulate fighting. We can all admit that pro wrestling is at least a little bit weird. Because of this, it's good for the sport to never try taking itself too seriously.

Don't get us wrong, take it a bit seriously. Make great matches, give us worthy champions, book storylines we can get invested in; just don't scrape the fun away from it.

TNA might've done this better than any other company in the pro wrestling scene. Do we really have to elaborate any further past 'Broken' Matt Hardy?

With proper execution, the weirder elements of professional wrestling can excel into something genius. Of course, sometimes the typical writers aren't able to handle this as well as the wrestlers themselves (remember the House of Horrors match?), and that's why the next entry on this list is just as important...
