Thank you for putting a spotlight on TNA! I’d love to see more videos on this promotion. They have a rich history (both great and terrible) that should be explored and so many incredible wrestlers that deserve more of the spotlight.
I was watching a few matches earlier on TV as they come on late at night and forgot how wild the matches were. Think there was one from 2004 or 2005 with Samoa Joe and Sabu and I was blown away. So cool but so dangerous.
How the hell is Unbreakable from 2003 Triple Threat match with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels not number one ? It's the only 5 Star match live received for a long time. That match is perfect
One thing to look at with the WWE/NXT-TNA partnership is how different they're doing it versus how AEW did it. AEW took the IMPACT, X-Division and tag titles, had both Tony's on IMPACT TV openly bashing the company and not having any IMPACT stars on AEW other than Gallows & Anderson. WWE/NXT is bringing TNA stars in, having them look strong, even in defeat, while sending their own talent to TNA to have matches with their stars there, and putting TNA's stars over. The WWE partnership is increasing TNA's ratings while the AEW one caused IMPACT's viewership to lose nearly 2/3 of their viewership by time it was done. WWE is doing it right.
Jarrett's backstage post-match interview at BFG 2006 was great too, in which he tearfully broke character and stepped out of both his company roles until mid-2007. His first wife Jill was seriously ill at that point, and passed shortly after his '07 return, necessitating his 2007-08 hiatus...
Another match that deserves more love and views is that hour long classic between Josh Alexander and Mike Bailey from the end of 2022. A fantastic match for sure.
I am going to go on record to say that the Unbreakable 2005 3-way main event is my favourite wrestling match ever. Of course, I only started watching wrestling in 1981, so there are some earlier ones I could have missed, but that still stands as my absolute favourite of all time.
Any match with Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy (despite himself being intoxicated one match) or Bobby Lashley are pretty entertaining matches
Most viewed, not most popular, surprised more train wrecks aren't on there like Shelly Martinez match and Jeff Hardys Genesis match (IKYKY) but most popular would probably be more along cagesides best matches or just the most well known like the AJ/Joe/Daniels triple threat or MCMG/Beer Money 2 of 3 falls match
Why is Godderz & Love vs. Knux & Rebel at #1 with 38M views when it is only the fifth most viewed match on TNA's UA-cam channel? #4 is Godderz vs. ODB - 39M views #3 is Bram vs. Abyss - 52M views #2 is Eddie Edwards vs. Davey Richards - 105M views #1 is Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love - 180M views
Jessie Godderz having TWO matches in the Top 10 most watched TNA matches is crazy. I uh...guess the Big Brother fanbase have kept following his wrestling career?
Happy Angelina has the coveted spot. I interviewed her and Kevin Nash when they were doing the media tour for TNA’s first PPV out of America and she was both sweet and wise beyond her years throughout.
@@patrickdare5356 you're right, and I'm so disappointed the Internet doesn't want to see good wrestling. They just wanna see Jeff Jarrett being a knob head 😂
The matches I always remember are the best of 5 series between Motor City Machine Guns and Beer Money. They were all great.

2005*
Most popular doesn't equal best and as Simon said, this is based solely on views on TNA's own UA-cam channel.
@@TheThird1977 yeah I just checked they re-uploaded it
Well said Simon The TNA Knockouts started the women's revolution with the rivalry of Gail Kim and Awesome Kong
The Knockout divisions in TNA really put women's wrestling on the map but as always that's just my opinion

Went to BFG 2006. That place was packed and such a great time seeing Sting for the first time live.
My favorite tna match was generation me vs motor city machine guns. My first time ever seeing the young bucks and man that was an incredible match!
👍🏾
The most popular TNA event wasn't a match at all, it was the Jay Lethal v Ric Flair woo-off promo.
2 horrible predators? F no
Cool
Any match with Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy (despite himself being intoxicated one match) or Bobby Lashley are pretty entertaining matches
Sting was already a legendary figure at that time
i was in attendance for that bound for glory ultimate x match in 2009
To this day, I dont understand how WWE fumbled Kong
She couldn't get over with crowd, then she got pregnant
Brooke Tessmacher's back side should be inducted into the TNA hall of fame
Yes!!
Why does this sound like a fucking patreon name for the deathlock podcast 😂😂😂
Hell yeah
What a gross comment. Grow up!

Excellent video
Awesome Kong V. Gail Kim is the greatest rivalry
in women’s wrestling history.
2nd is Trish Stratus V. Mickie James
Crazy to see shera and Jesse on this list. They're two of the huge pieces of my local indie
Best TNA match:
6 sides of steal
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels vs LAX
Jessie Godderz is the future of pro wrestling, I guess. NWA finally got a star
Why is Godderz & Love vs. Knux & Rebel at #1 with 38M views when it is only the fifth most viewed match on TNA's UA-cam channel?
#4 is Godderz vs. ODB - 39M views
#3 is Bram vs. Abyss - 52M views
#2 is Eddie Edwards vs. Davey Richards - 105M views
#1 is Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love - 180M views
It's his list and I agree with you
There's something wrong with Simons audio quality on his videos
Top shelf
“Blood for absolutely no reason” would’ve been a banger on the dub 😂😂

I hope TNA wrestling has more good matches like this
Jesse being on their list 2 times has got to be because of big brother fans watching him wrestle
Never thought I would see TNA on WCW.
these whatculture lists arent what they used to be
Number 1 is number 1 because of rebel
Tna =jeff hardy and aj style 🔥🔥
TNA TNA TNA
"Jesse Goddards?" 🤣🤣
The x division was and still is the best part of impact or tna ok it to a whole other level
Took
Three word comment
🎉
Like it love it
Simon is 👍🏼
Gail Lim vs Awesome Kong is just so damn amazing….every time!
For Those Who Have a Disdain For TNA I say The Hell With You TNA Is awesome no If ands or Buts about It
When did you start watching?
October 2005
@@Jamal-bl7yh man you’ve watched through some bad times. I gave up when they brought in Hogan/Bischoff.
Happy Angelina has the coveted spot. I interviewed her and Kevin Nash when they were doing the media tour for TNA’s first PPV out of America and she was both sweet and wise beyond her years throughout.
If #1 isn't Mike Bailey vs Will Osprey, I'll be shocked
Not best match, but match with the most UA-cam views.

Celine Dion is worse than Karaoke
3:14 HH saw too many blacks and got scared
This list is hideous
I believe
Who the heck wants to watch jesse? Lol
