It's been a rollercoaster of a ride for TNA Wrestling over the past 24 years, with the Anthem promotion at times being can't-miss, must-see pro wrestling television, and at other times being, well, completely skippable as it served up some of the most awful moments in wrestling history. Puppet the Psycho Dwarf, anyone?
Regardless, by hook or by crook, TNA has still kept chugging along, nowadays calling AMC home in the US and currently doing very solid weekly TV numbers, with the likes of Mike Santana, Lei Ying Lee, and the Hardys at the top of the food chain right now.
When looking back across TNA's storied history, this is a company that has housed some of the greatest to ever do it; that revolutionised women's wrestling long before that became a cool buzzword; that put an extreme focus on tag team wrestling at times when other promotions treated their own tag ranks with disdain; and that helped develop and nurture some of the biggest stars of today.
