10 Awesome TNA Moments Everyone Forgets

Heavily derided, TNA has nonetheless produced some sparkling moments...

Oh, Impact Wrestling. That very name conjures up virtually unlimited amounts of ridicule, coming from all corners of the wrestling kingdom. TNA are one company who can seemingly do no right, even to this day there are people all around the world who - whilst aware of the product - seem to take great pleasure in tearing it down. In fairness to critics, TNA haven't always made themselves bullet proof. On more than one occasion, things have seemed decidedly small time, when the promotion's management wanted grappling enthusiasts to believe that the company were on par with WWE. Simply put, that has never been the case, and likely never will, but that doesn't mean TNA hasn't been home to some incredible characters, matches, storylines and moments during the (relatively brief) run of the brand. It seems the days of men such as Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair claiming that it'd only be a matter of time before TNA sat atop the wrestling world are long gone, and good riddance to them, they weren't doing the company any good, only serving to highlight just how far it had to go. This list honours some of the biggest and best moments from the much-derided TNA product, occasions during which fans were allowed to forget all the negatives, focusing solely on the positives.
