I think the fact they got semi-big wound up being a bad thing for TNA. Ended up bringing in Hogan/Bischoff + 'The Band' and trying too hard to be different to WWE and in the process winding up a poor late 90s imitation. Their attempt to go head to head on a Monday was embarrassing and in the long run I think everything they did in that period set them back. Certainly, circa 09 when they came to the UK they toured the same arenas that WWE does but I don't believe that is the case anymore.
It's a shame because around, say, 06-07 they had a cracking roster and put on great matches without the Trash TV.
Ten years from now their library will be on the WWE network

TNA is apprently good now tbh. I've heard most people praise the last -2 months of TNA as excellent television. Might go back to it before they **** it all up again.
They were so damn good in their first 3 years

It's a shame about TNA as they always seem to have so many wrestlers. Shouldn't be too difficult to put up a proper wrestling show, you would think. However, they just kill it with their promos. Then, their wrestling matches seem to be completely unplanned where wrestlers just go at each other for ages before one wins. It's monotonous and mundane to watch.

Looking back, 2004-05 has to be the peak period of in ring wrestling in the history of pro wrestling. Wwe had Eddie, Angle, Benoit, lesnar, at the top, TNA had just begin and with Joe, Styles, Daniels and the x-division, it was amazing, RoH had Danielson at his peak. No other era compares imo.
We could have a Renaissance if Lucha underground keeps going great guns.

They've gone 6-sided again now. I meant to moan about Hogan changing the ring to 4-sided in my post. I believe they had a fans' vote as to whether to change it back.
I've been meaning to give it another go but really I can't help but wish that ROH had their UK TV slot.

Yep. The interview was so tame. Still fun to listen to I suppose.
But it wasn't any different to the interviews he does in his podcasts anyway, so what was the point?

Haha I said he sounded like a mark with his opinion on the Savage/Hogan feud. And I stand by it.
Nonetheless, later on I thanked sledger for introducing me to him and recommended him to the rest of you so I don't know how I can be criticised as anything but pro-Solomonster.
A podcast reviewing another podcast is going a bit far though, come on now.

Cena comes across as a genuine guy to me. And you're right he does truly believe it - probably because for him, that's exactly what happened. I mean look at his OVW class.
Brock - absolute beast but let's be honest, would have been the 4th guy with Hogan/Austin/Rock had he not got bored circa 04
Batista - Phoned it in for months on end at times whereas Cena took the ball and ran with it. The feud in 2010 where he was bitter at Cena for this was AWESOME though.
Orton - had a great career but plenty of wellness violations etc meaning there have been many false starts and despite his success, always felt he's been stop start. Take his 2010 face turn. The crowd were begging for it. He was white hot. And then he broke his shoulder punching the mat. Buffoon

Solomonster, Austin, Y2J. Only 3 I listen two. Solomonster is an easy #1 imo.
There are others out there like JR's Ross Report, but I hated it.
