10 Things Everybody Gets Wrong About TNA

1. The Product Ultimately Failed

Check out this list of TV channels and outlets TNA/Impact Wrestling has been on: Fox Sports Net, Urban America Television, Spike, Destination America, Pop, Pursuit Channel, Twitch and AXS TV. Kinda' hard to keep track of, eh? Changing stations every few years hasn't helped TNA's business.

There's rarely been anything wrong with TNA's roster or potential. Instead, management failed by constantly rerouting the company - changing its name, TV home or by bogging things down with senseless issues like paying talent on time hurt the group's reputation. Word spreads, and all of this made Impact seem unstable.

Hiring any ex-WWE or WCW talent (even the questionable ones) wouldn't have been as big of an issue had those workers been managed properly. TNA has had one hell of a roster several times throughout its shelf life, and at one stage arguably even had the best group of workers in pro wrestling.

It's not the talent who are to blame for TNA's failings, it's the people calling the shots.
