8 Reasons TNA Doesn't Suck

How many people who hate on TNA actually watch the product?

There seems to be this misconception within the wrestling world that just because the audience has fallen off and securing a television deal is proving difficult, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is somehow the most putrid product of all-time. If you did not know any better, the company is turning out consistently awful shows with little rhyme or reason. You would think the in-ring work of the men and women employed there is sub-par, that the effort is lacking and that the shows as a whole are WCW-in-2000 bad, which could not be further from the truth. In reality, TNA Impact Wrestling is a very solid wrestling show. Booked more like an old school territory than a national wrestling product, the company focuses on young talent, treats its championships with respect and developed a roster of women's wrestlers rather than reality show stars. The intense and passionate audience that tunes in Wednesday nights at 9pm on Spike TV and the fans that attend shows across the globe continue to support the hard work and dedication of all involved. The future is not as bright now as it once was for the upstart company. It has lost a tremendous amount of talent thanks to budget cuts and has been forced to elevate lesser-known names to the top of the card but, in the process, has made new stars that figure to play key roles in whatever future the promotion has. With some devoted veterans sticking around and the effort of all involved still at a maximum, TNA is very much the little engine that could. So put the keyboard muscles away, channel the snarky remarks and negative energy into outbursts about the fact that a BUNNY has a higher profile spot on WWE television than Kofi Kingston or Big E, and take a look at these eight reasons TNA does not suck.
