Ranking Every TNA Era From Worst To Best

4. Early Spike

Being picked up by Spike TV was perhaps the most exciting time to be a TNA fan. They had nearly gone out of business after Fox Sports didn't renew their show, and yet somehow they found themselves with a better home than ever.

Impacts' ratings multiplied a few times over, their production values once again greatly increased and they were able to land free agents who weren’t well past their prime like Christian, Kurt Angle and Team 3D.

Of course, as has been stated in multiple slides already, the company was still firmly a Jeff Jarrett-centric program in this era. He had his own stable, in the perhaps too obviously named Planet Jarrett, and he simply continued to go from one big name to the next, never letting go of his coveted spot. Fans were beyond sick of it.

While Impact started with a Saturday night timeslot, it was still an improvement over Friday afternoons. Their ratings were impressive enough to land them on Thursday nights, and then soon gained them an extra hour every week. It was a fun time to be a fan of their product, as you could still believe that maybe someday they could actually compete with WWE.
