@@XxXx-ub9il it really wasn’t tbh. I just wish there was a lot more to the game. More match types, more weapon choices, more game modes. Story wasn’t too bad either. There shoulda been more but I was ok with what I was given.
i feel you on finding out about TNA for the first time. Me and my brother were shook like a mf when we found out about TNA in 2008, it felt like a whole different universe.
Literally same 😂😂i loved TNA, because before i discovered that, it was just Raw on monday and Smackdown in Friday. Getting to watch TNA Thursday before smackdown 😂😂 ahhh good times
I saw Tna like 2010-2012 and it was really just expanded my thought of wrestling. They had the women wrestling hardcore matches and at the time compared to wwe I was genuine shocked and like it ever since.
I remember watching tna as a kid. I knew they were moving to spike and I was a mark for them. It was amazing to watch them. I still watch old clips and matches all the time.
Impact isnt dead now but AEW has taken a lot of the fans and fans now don't want to give it a chance, even though since Anthem took over it's been a really solid show.
My friend was a huge TNA fan and he of course, had this game, so I asked him to bring it with him on a weekend so we could play for a lil bit. I actually didn't like the game at all, I remember the controls being difficult for me at least and the movements around the ring were just god awful. Might play it again just to see if my feelings changed.
I thought the game was fun. I know lots of people who hated it because of its gameplay style, which oddly enough was used for All Stars. Wasn’t much to the game, but I enjoyed it for a while
Yep when I finally played All-Stars then I saw gameplay of this, it was pretty much the same gameplay just more over the top and arcade like. Seems a lot of animations are reused too. Menu sounds were as well.
yea but 2 things. 1, all stars was a game clearly invented to be purely arcade style, while TNA was supposed to be more of a mix and 2, they updated the engine and made it better by 2011.
The original plan was a multi year deal with midway the same way WWE had with THQ. We were supposed to get new TNA games every year but when time Warner purchased Midway so they could have mortal kombat as a WBs along with other gaming titles, TNA was sadly NOT one of the gaming franchises WB wanted to work on.
I loved TNA impact as a kid. It was crazy seeing wrestling in a 6 sided ring. The roster was so unique back then. I came across it one night. Loved it for a few yrs. Then fell out of wrestling in general around 2010-2011. That 2005-2009 era of wrestling (TNA and wwe) was fantastic.
I remember discovering TNA in 2005, I played SVR but didn't have the channels for WWE at the time so TNA was my first introduction to watching wrestling, blew my mind seeing a different company and even seeing Christian (Cage) and eventually Kurt Angle and Booker T. Wrestlers I knew but couldn't watch. Eventually we got the WWE channels and when I watched TNA again around 2010/11, it just wasn't the same anymore.
i was a HUGE fan of TNA back in the day, and i'm from a no "Wrestling country": Colombia. I used to download the PPVs from Ares and watch those videos time and time again, so when i got this videogame i was soooooo happy. I was VERY disapointed at first when i started playing but months later i gave it a new try and i totally crushed. I got involved in the story mode and i was investing in my character in order to put him on the main event of bound for glory again. It was a fun time in my life. Thanks for giving those momories back.
Man, I remember when I first saw TNA on TV in 2003! I was flipping through channels at my aunts house late at night, and was like WTF Road Dogg, X-PAC, Konnan, I missed y’all, where have you guys been! To the point where I was casually watching the product until about 2010. Homicide was always my favorite wrestler on the roster. You were spot on Pav, when you said you simply had to be there, because it was a damn good time to be a pro wrestling fan!
i remember watching tna back in the 2000s as a kid i dont even remember how i found it but i was the same way as you anything wrestling related i was hooked on it no matter what and i enjoyed watching tna for a good few years and i also remember buying this game and playing it a few times before getting bored of it lol it was a decent game i remember it was a lot of fun at first but like you said once you've seen and done everything which isn't a lot theres not much left to do and i didn't even remember the story mode at all but once you started playing it all of it came back to me it was a memory i didn't even know i had
I’m glad someone had the same reaction as me when they seen Jeff Hardy on TNA. I thought he was dead too. The last time I seen him in WWE was his ladder match vs the Undertaker and when Taker choke slammed Jeff off the ladder, I thought Jeff broke his neck and died. 😞
Fun fact: Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sting and Booker T are the only wrestlers to be featured in video games by WCW, WWE, and TNA.
The original plan was a multi year deal with midway the same way WWE had with THQ. We were supposed to get new TNA games every year but when time Warner purchased Midway so they could have mortal kombat as a WBs along with other gaming titles, TNA was sadly NOT one of the gaming franchises WB wanted to work on.
Rosemary and Havok are carrying impact right now. If they get rid of them they will lose one of the most interesting stories they've ever had period. Not even just for the women, I am talking just in general, Rosemary and Decay are the most interesting faction I think I've ever seen hit that show.
IMPACT is definitely doing its best given its cards and it’s a very enjoyable weekly program today! Bummer I never played this game back in the day tho, luckily I can now
When the game was released it was honestly a rip off and try hard of the wwe games. It only had a handful of the big stars in it, no knockouts division at all (which really disappointed me because I wanted a game that had The Beautiful People and Taylor and Gail and Kong I even would have settled for Trinity, Traci Brooks, and Jackie just to have a semblance of one) and the rest of the wrestlers were nobodies that you beat in the story mode as Suicide.
I remember when this game first dropped I was sooooo hyped to play it because I just have gotten into watching TNA. The story with Suicide was cool & then he ended up becoming an actual wrestler for TNA in real life
Man so much love for TNA impact even tho I never had any luck with the game, the game on ps2(which I had when I was a kid) kept having corrupt save data and I had to get something else
This video really did make me missed when TNA actually rivales/on par with WWE in terms of popularity, storylines and marketing I believed that TNA’s downfall started when literally half of their rosters leaves to WWE in 2011, Sad Nonetheless Thanks for another quality video as usual
There's a few hidden moves I didn't know about in this game. Like when your out of the ring you can grab your opponent and swing them to the barricade or the ring apron.
I remember first time i tuned into TNA. What brought me in was that they had Sting. I became a wrestling fan after WrestleMania 17 so i didnt really see WCW but i knew the superstars from it. So i had to tune in and watch Sting for the first time lol
I literally came across tna by accident and my dad saying “hey that’s hulk hogan” I watched before I really knew about wwe. Impact was my introduction to wrestling. Aj, joe, Kurt angle, Jeff hardy, rvd I really didn’t know how privileged to watch wrestling gold. 2005-2008 impact goated
Ok, the TNA Impact video game has weapons… Tables? Nope Ladders? Nope Chairs? Uh huh Singapore Canes? Nope Metal Trays? Yep Trash Can Lids? Probably Barbed Wire? Nope
I've never had a problem with the pinning system in this or all stars. Just place your fingers on the stick and move left and right as fast as you can.
I remember finding out about TNA in 2012 when my grandfather showed me it. I was like- “Hulk Hogan is alive!? Who’s Austin Aries!? This Bully Ray guy is cool!” It was wild
I didn't find out about that TNA til 07-08 when I saw Kurt then later on seeing Booker T also Christian. I was like wtf this is where they went"? I was like 11-12yrs old.
Bruhh this storyline was one of the best i ever played. Suicide getting set up and forgetting who he was. Fighting in mexico and small shows that shit was dope as hell
Craziest thing… my dad and uncle were crazy into wwe as far back as late 1980s and in 2014 me and my brother being 9 and 7 were going through tv and happened to hit tna and honestly we got a strange time for it but it was soooo cool growing up seeing how all the guys we saw from both companies and their lore and moving between major companies was just so cool like there was so much to know
I got to go to a TNA house show and got a piece of a broken table the Dudley’s used and even got a picture with them and got to hold the TNA tag team championships 😍
For a first attempt it wasn't a bad game... Just imagine if the developers were able to make a sequel. So much more stuff could've been added and fixed
I remember getting this game I was 14 years old had this game and SVR 08 man I used to have soooo much fun playing this game it was a huge alternative from svr 08 me and my brother would be up for hours doing matches it’s crazy how they never made a sequel it definitely deserved one the roaster was small but that didn’t matter because the fun you had on this game was unreal I’m glad you made this video bro 💯💯💯💯
After Cena was out due to injury in 2007, I started watching TNA too and man I was amazed.😃 The roster was so cool even better than the WWE - some wrestlers were like copies of the WWE ones but still they had a personality of their own. The matches were amazing and the storylines were so good. I saw AJ Styles perform for the first time and I immediately became his fan.😃 Then WWE superstars started coming to TNA and it became even better to watch. The storyline in which the Shark Boy became like Stone Cold Steve Austin was really fascinating.🔥
I remember watching wrestling for the first time in sep 2005. It was a smackdown, I remember then shortly after watching TNA by accedent and being like "holy crap more wrestling!!" And what a time to begin watching in it's hay day of 05-12
hi, thanks for all the support. love you guys❤️
Hi
Can you review WWE 2k18 soon
Love you more
Love your vids dude definitely made me respect wwe games more than I ever would
@@redbullbrown9 He already did.
I'll never forget the feeling of "there's more than WWE?" when I first saw TNA
FOR REAL
I remember my first episode of TNA, seeing Christian and Booker T in the ring and going crazyy
That’s facts
Same!!
I watched it for an Hour and didnt Understand, that it isnt wwe and later i was Confused, how hulk Hogan is there😅
I remember playing the hell out of this game on the Wii and PS3. 2005 to 2009 TNA was wild and actually good
That was also the time Vince Russo was writing the shows.
360 days too
The game wasn't that bad
@@XxXx-ub9il it really wasn’t tbh. I just wish there was a lot more to the game. More match types, more weapon choices, more game modes. Story wasn’t too bad either. There shoulda been more but I was ok with what I was given.
@nemo pouncey lmao this game was amazing
i feel you on finding out about TNA for the first time. Me and my brother were shook like a mf when we found out about TNA in 2008, it felt like a whole different universe.
Lol welcome to the wrestling multiverse is how I felt too 😂
Literally same 😂😂i loved TNA, because before i discovered that, it was just Raw on monday and Smackdown in Friday. Getting to watch TNA Thursday before smackdown 😂😂 ahhh good times
Same!! I couldn't believe it discovering it in 2008 when I was 12. It did totally feel like we were in an alternate universe. 😮
@nemo pouncey there was a second TNA game
@nemo pouncey I’m mad it got canceled
05-09 was the glory days of TNA
Too me I love the 2002 to the day that hulk Hogan came in
Remember when TNA was relevant? Those days are long gone unfortunately.
Unfortunately indeed
It’s about AEW now
@@Babyboy_Matt it’s really still about wwe for some reason
@@mrlun730 I’m saying that AEW took TNA’s place
@@Babyboy_Matt oh yh that’s true but I feel AEW is more close to being as good as WWE than TNA ever was
As a kid, boss battle Jeff Jarrett legit pissed me the fuck off
I feel your pain that match still gives me PTSD because they were no chairs and this dude was like a god it took me four tries to beat that man
Before AEW, There was tna, such wasted potential man i wish i could go back to the mid and late 2000s and watch tna in its prime again.
And AEW & TNA are the reincarnation of WCW
I saw Tna like 2010-2012 and it was really just expanded my thought of wrestling. They had the women wrestling hardcore matches and at the time compared to wwe I was genuine shocked and like it ever since.
TNA had its ups and downs but without I wouldn’t have known AJ, Samoa Joe and others and the indie scene in general
I remember watching tna as a kid. I knew they were moving to spike and I was a mark for them. It was amazing to watch them. I still watch old clips and matches all the time.
Underrated game!!
The PSP version was decent
Lmao hell no
@@ZoePoppas1994 same game as PS2 DS was different but was boring

Impact isnt dead now but AEW has taken a lot of the fans and fans now don't want to give it a chance, even though since Anthem took over it's been a really solid show.
TNA is dead. What you call impact may technically be the same company, but TNA is dead. Anyone who grew up with TNA knows.
TNA at it's best was controlled chaos. That also very well describes the game.
My friend was a huge TNA fan and he of course, had this game, so I asked him to bring it with him on a weekend so we could play for a lil bit. I actually didn't like the game at all, I remember the controls being difficult for me at least and the movements around the ring were just god awful.

@nemo pouncey What's wrong with cage dancers? Bring them back.
Haha definitely try it out again but should forsure use tutorials just in case. Just to help learn the game and have more fun.
I thought the game was fun. I know lots of people who hated it because of its gameplay style, which oddly enough was used for All Stars. Wasn’t much to the game, but I enjoyed it for a while

YOU SHOULD LOOK BACK AT THE 2009 ROYAL RUMBLE PLEASE IVE BEEN WANTING THIS SINCE I STARTED WATCHING YOU
I’m glad someone had the same reaction as me when they seen Jeff Hardy on TNA. I thought he was dead too. The last time I seen him in WWE was his ladder match vs the Undertaker and when Taker choke slammed Jeff off the ladder, I thought Jeff broke his neck and died. 😞
Sting and jeff jarrett story arc is still my all time fav storyline
Fun fact: Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sting and Booker T are the only wrestlers to be featured in video games by WCW, WWE, and TNA.
I felt the same way then and now with AEW it got me back into wrestling just by randomly stumbling upon it after a movie on TNT
Went against Perc Angle and thought he was gonna let up😂
The original plan was a multi year deal with midway the same way WWE had with THQ. We were supposed to get new TNA games every year but when time Warner purchased Midway so they could have mortal kombat as a WBs along with other gaming titles, TNA was sadly NOT one of the gaming franchises WB wanted to work on.
This game was soo underrated it was so fire the move sets and graphics was outstanding
I loved when they had the group, aces and eights against kurt angle and sting
I remember this game and have great memories of this game and old TNA
Impact now is not bad like it once was. Just watch some of the ppv form 2018 to now. You will be surprised.
Rosemary and Havok are carrying impact right now. If they get rid of them they will lose one of the most interesting stories they've ever had period. Not even just for the women, I am talking just in general, Rosemary and Decay are the most interesting faction I think I've ever seen hit that show.
I wish we had full entrances
Ruthless aggression, attitude Era and Early TNA time are 3 arguably the best eras in wrestling
Solid blueprint for All Stars if I’m being honest.
This game was awesome but it just lacked content. If it got a sequel it would have been amazing.
Then tna impact on psp had people and modes this didn’t. The psp version has tournaments, and a survival mode called gauntlet.
that’s how I remember this game. and you stayed as the suicide character the entire time
Look at the movement and the imapct of the moves. This is just amazing for a 2009 release. The movement is so real
God the reversals are beautiful .. I also got tired of it after a couple days lol but the story line is the goat after svr 2007 and 2011
I'd love to see pav talk about heel antichrist Jeff Hardy. I think he'd have a lot to say.
IMPACT is definitely doing its best given its cards and it’s a very enjoyable weekly program today! Bummer I never played this game back in the day tho, luckily I can now
Impact needs a game asap

loved this game back in the day looking back at it man the controls were awful miss the old tna tho cant wait to finish the video

Wrestling Gifs should make his own wresting game

I remember first time i tuned into TNA. What brought me in was that they had Sting. I became a wrestling fan after WrestleMania 17 so i didnt really see WCW but i knew the superstars from it. So i had to tune in and watch Sting for the first time lol
I love how the whole roster is basically people who left WWE or people who will join in the future

8:12 I’m high as fuck and heard we don’t use the pullout method over here and died.
My man said Carter 3 😭 this game is criminally underrated. I loved this game
I was watching tna but not until 2010 when Jeff left so Jeff going back was doing exactly what it was meant to do.
5.41 dude i was drinking water and ı split it out right after i heard that line lol
I got to go to a TNA house show and got a piece of a broken table the Dudley’s used and even got a picture with them and got to hold the TNA tag team championships 😍
The story mode was basically def jam ny's story mode when you think about it
I used to play this game with my cousin. He doesn't talk to me anymore but i still love him. Good memories ill always keep close to my heart 🙏
I remember my father getting this for me from a business trip. I asked him for SmackDown vs Raw but he brought this shit back then 🙈
channel 32 hit me hard in the nostalgia
wish i had known this was about the video game before spending 5mins watching someones life story
6:18 - HOLD ON, HALF OF THIS ROSTER APPEAR IN WWE IN NEXT DECADE...
