I was watching this week's IMPACT and honestly I couldn't be anymore proud of TNA and all the wrestlers who stayed by it's side since the beginning. Some could have jumped ships to another company for triple the salary but many of have stayed and made TNA a bigger success than before, It's just so exciting seeing IMPACT on the road now. It's like.. DAMN! I bet all the wrestlers are so happy because there going to make a lot more money now, some gets a second chance at the wrestling business because of the WWE horrible booking (Mostly Aces & 8) It's a great feeling knowing there's another BIG or a RISING Wrestling company besides the WWE.

I'm fucking proud to be a TNA fan. It's exciting to see them rise.

I'm loving TNA, It was a bit shaky through December/Early January, but since things seem to be progressing, (Going on the road/storyline progression), Its gone from strength to strength.. Only thing I can say I personally dislike about TNA at the moment, is RVD being the X Divison champion..

It's a very important year for wrestling. They say wrestling is cyclical. After the decade of hell from WWE I thought that was just bullshit. I hope this proves it.

Boom period is coming

I said that I am some time before. For me, this is an exciting period in wrestling. I don't know what's going to happen but I'm believing for the best. I share common areas in which I would like to see improvement but thinking of how things would be - will be - when (not "if") they fix then, it will be pretty awesome. I've liked most of the things they've been doing in the past year, the new things they've been trying, including going on the road and growing in general (for those who seemed to be confused in the other thread

). I'm already anticipating this being a good year; hopefully their best year ever. I like the start they've gotten. And I feel proud for them too. Even though I'm not working for them. Yet.

This. 2012 for the most part, was a great year (although it dropped off a bit post Aries and the Aces and 8s stalled for a long while).

But so far 2013, at least in terms of business strategy, has been a barnstormer. A great UK tour, going on the road, reduced PPVs, the one night specials, Championship Thursday/OFN/Gut Check etc. They've been really pushing it. Throw in the best roster in the business and there should be nothing holding them back.

The only thing that does concern me is that the writing/storylines have been a bit spotty, but hopefully they can pick that up.

I am excited about certain aspects.

Taking Impact on the road? That is very cool.

New PPV format? That sounds really cool.

There are somethings they could do better creatively, but overall, they are in a much better place than they were in 2010 and 2011.

All of this. If they get the divisions and storylines in better shape, the former in much better shape, I will too happy. I look forward to watching on Thursdays when there was a time when I would just watch. Enjoy, but just watch without having had that prior anticipation. That turned a corner, though, towards the end of last year.
