My main problem with Sanders was always his lame personality. He was never a fantastic in ring guy but he was decent enough, but he had no personality at all, and the name “Above Average” is soooo laughably bad. It’s like he’s bragging about being the Kirk Cousins of the WCW midcard.
I rented the first show on ppv back in the day. These weekly ppv's were a lot of fun, you never knew who was going to show up or what was going to happen.
I swear David Young is one of the unsung heroes of early TNA. Always a good hand to work with and has decent matches. Plus, he had a great underrated Spinebuster as his finisher. Definitely in my NWA-TNA boy stable.
The more I watch old AJ. I appreciate his work more and more from the time I saw him in NWA TNA growing up to his New Japan work and some of his WWE work. Truly a GOAT.

@@d2msta38 I honestly don't think Vince wants stars. Sure stars could mean more money, but then you have to deal with them. I think he always wanted the WWE itself to be the attraction. That's the potential he wanted, and I think he pretty much has it.
The problem is his runs are all either too long (he was in tna and ecw for years) or too short (wcw and WWF runs). Maybe his ROH run would work but that could be difficult to track down.
Nashville had some interesting dancers that's for sure. I'm not complaining, they may seem trashy to some but a treasure to others lol Personally I didn't mind the cage dancers, it added character to the overall show.

Viscera was working for Cory Maclin's Memphis Wrestling around this time. It's one of those weird times when Jimmy Hart owned the XWF but the promotion went under well before this and Jimmy Hart decided to do an XWF invasion of Memphis Wrestling, where Viscera, under the name Mable, was the XWF Heavyweight Champion.
Slapnuts kept his promise about doing a charity event. He came into the ring to try and make the New Generation seem relevant. He is doing the Lord's work.
Damn. I remember watching Trinity back in the day and thinking why she was never at the top. She was ahead of a lot of women wrestlers. She was in great shape, HOT and was very good in the ring. Ahead of her time but totally over shadowed.

Can you do Triple H's last run after he became COO? It should be exactly 30 matches. (2011-2021) *His 2nd match with Undertaker at WM doesn't count. And house shows doesn't count because those wasn't televised events. Starting with his match with CM Punk.

This is actually the lead-up to New Jack vs. Gypsy Joe, which would happen soon after. Nashville had another NWA affiliate at the time that would borrow TNA talent like Brian Lee and Chase Stevens, and a young Ken Anderson (with ODB) Shawn Daivari and Ken Doane.

It helps that he was going against AJ.

I wanted to request Markyd on Mr. JL's WCW career or Jerry Lynn's WWF career but I guess the video would be too short. :(
Death metal Jerry Lynn AAARRRRRRR!!!
Great suggestion! Asylum era Lynn is x-division royalty
The problem is his runs are all either too long (he was in tna and ecw for years) or too short (wcw and WWF runs). Maybe his ROH run would work but that could be difficult to track down.
Judgment DOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYY!!!! I never liked him because he looks like Chad Kroeger, the singer of a band that sucks.

It's not hard to believe though. He was on WCW television, which equals a main event wrestler in TNA.
