I'm just going to say it: I enjoy TNA

Their characterisation, anyway. I love the way each character on TNA feels like a real person, doing things not because they are a good guy or bad guy, but because it is who their character essentially is.

Take Desmond Wolfe: He's challenged The Pope to another match at Genesis. Why? Because he lost to him, and wants to prove he can beat him. Wolfe's character is hyper-competitive, and he may be a complete wanker, but you have to respect certain elements of the character.

Then there's Tomko. His reasons for attacking AJ Styles go back to 2007/2008, when he was teaming with AJ Styles. And you feel in Tomko's mind that he's doing it for reasons that are important and honest to him. Tomko's not a bad dude, neccessarily. He's angry and possessed by jealousy, sure; but you sense that his hurt at Styles betraying him his very real.

TNA has its problems -- no doubt; but I love their approach to things. It may seem like guys are turning each and every week, but it's really just the characters doing what they think is right. Sometimes they will step on a guy and be right; and sometimes they will do it and be wrong.

Does anyone else enjoy how fluid TNA's characters are?
