Greatest TNA Matches

[Xero]

Now, we all know that "TNA is shit, blah blah blah", but I don't think it can be denied that the wrestling in TNA, especially pre-Hogan era, can be pretty awesome.

With this in mind, let's discuss and post our favorite/the best TNA matches. From 2002-2011. And please include video, if available.

[Schlomey]

I do not have access to video while at work but I want to say MCMG vs Beer Money - The whole series was pretty fabulous.

[Nicky Fives]

AMW/XXX Steel cage is the first to come to mind.....

[Cuse8]

AMW/XXX Steel cage is the first to come to mind.....

That and the Angle/Joe series as well the Styles/Joe/Danials triple threats.

[DLVH84]

The very first Ultimate X Match in August 2003.

[MoFo]

Sting v Jarrett - Bound For Glory 2006
Chris Harris v James Storm (when they were all bloody and shit)
Angle v Abyss - Turning Point 2008

[Wolfpack423]

TNA has had some great matches despite some of the overwhelming crapola we get. Since 2006 I have followed TNA and I have yet to find a year where there wasn't something good about it. 2006 is my personal favorite year for TNA.

One match that I personally found to be very good is from 2008 at Bound For Glory. There were three match of the year candidates on that one, but the one that stole the show in my opinion is the triple threat between Christian, AJ Styles and Booker T. That is one of my top ten matches in TNA history. They just kept the action going from bell to bell and proof that alot of guys give 100% in their matches.

I thought you were referring to the blindfold match at Lockdown brutal haha. Yes, I agree with you Storm vs. Harris at Sacrifice was probably the showstealer at the next PPV. They definitely made up for the blindfold debacle, though I don't really blame them since that stip has always been ridiculous. What do you think about Beer Money vs. Hardy/Harris at Sacrifice? I think it definitely has the potential to steal the show. I am really interested in that match, Mickie James vs. Madison Rayne and Angle/Chyna vs. Jeff/Karen. I actually really like whats going on in TNA right now, except for Crimson getting a huge Samoa Joe like push and Murphy who I feel besides Alex Riley is the worst wrestler today.

I LOVED this feud, it's one of my favorite of all time, even through it's over booked messiness I had a lot of fun with it.

You should probably put some of that in the spoiler tags since the show hasn't aired yet.

[screech]

Angle/Anderson from Lockdown 2010 and their ladder match from the prior iMPACT! were both pretty great.

They then proceeded to not do anything with this.

[Ultra Mantis]

Shelley vs Sabin @ Genesis 09

[James Steele]

I loved the James Storm vs Chris Harris Texas Deathmatch a few years ago. It was old school and awesome.

Mickie vs. Tara in the steel cage when she evem jumped off the top cage too!

[DLVH84]

I loved the James Storm vs Chris Harris Texas Deathmatch a few years ago. It was old school and awesome.

I agree on that pick, James. The brutality was off the charts on that one match.

[Rollermacka]

Sting v Jarrett - Bound For Glory 2006



<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D8HuuqjOyUw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Actually, this is one of my favorite matches overall in wrestling. Sting took some time off and came back in great shape

[mike adamle]

7/13/08 TNA Victory Road: World X Cup 4 Team Triple Elimination Match- Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, & Curry Man vs. Alex Koslov, Doug Williams, & Tyson Dux vs. Masato Yoshino, Milano Collection A.T., & Puma vs. Averno, Rey Bucanero, & Ultimo Guerrero is probably the best match in TNA history.

[mike adamle]

[scatterbrain28]

X Division match between Low Ki, AJ Styles, and Jerry Lynn was cool. I also liked AJ Styles vs. Doug Williams.

[Shindig Jeff]

if Kurt Angle gets fat he should be called Obtuse Angle. JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!!

[Fignuts]

Pretty much anything involving AMW vs Triple X

Haven't watched TNA since the first Angle/Joe match.

[mike adamle]

AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle Last Man Standing match was great too.
