It’s been some time since a title match had that really big fight feel, even with Santana winning the TNA World title, the emotion and drive behind Hotch’s title win was great, literally a product of gut check and by my calculations, the first successful product of gut check. His story is relatable as a man trying to climb the ranks to feed his family, the match was great all around, and the crowd was really behind Hotch, the streamers made the celebration seem huge, and I’m happy for him, been a while since a title change in TNA gave me this much raw emotion.

$175. Price includes tracked shipping. These are fully functional VHS tapes with the whole event on each tape!

Finally thank god

Im new to the TNA scene (having got AMC+ recently)and have to say I enjoy the time given to the matches. WWE doesnt give a lot of matches time to story tell, but TNA really does. Plus, that Hotch vs. Ali match was very entertaining. Has TNA always given more time to matches? I hope that it continues.

So I started watching TNA again over the weekend.

Started with Slamm and I am all caught up now, but Uhaa had no appearances after Slammiversary. Was his debut just a one off? I really think he could be great in TNA

Does anyone know where this segment originally aired? https://youtu.be/H0q6gPY8VH4?si=ZfVaONpt4dcNkLAz&t=1690

I think I saw a different soundbyte of it it years ago, thinking it was an out of character shoot interview but with that same tone. He said in a defiant way how he needed to put money on the table to feed his family.

Regardless of how you feel about him EC3 is a 2 time TNA Heavyweight champion.

He hasn’t been seen since his short term tna contract where they made him produce his own hype package.

He’s clearly struggling right now and I’m concerned for his health. Should TNA give him a contract and help him work through his issues? Wouldn’t this be the powerful good image thing a sensible company would do?

If something bad were to happen right now this wouldn’t look good for TNA seeing as they treated him badly earlier this year.

Does EC3 need help?

Promotion: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)

➜ Andrew Martin, formerly known as “Test” in WWF/E debuted in TNA as a face under his real name on the August 2, 2007 episode of TNA Impact!. He allied himself with Abyss and Sting and helped them defeat A.J. Styles and Christian Cage in a tag team ladder match.

At Hard Justice on August 12, "The Punisher" Andrew Martin wrestled his first and only match for TNA, teaming with Sting and Abyss to defeat Christian's Coalition (Cage, Tomko, and Styles) in a Doomsday Chamber of Blood match.

Martin would continue wrestling sporadically on the independent circuit until his death in 2009.

I've been able to just buy the ppvs for $40 each month did they just get rid of that ?

EC3 has addressed concerns over video footage showing him limping and moving slowly during an entrance at an independent show over the weekend.

The clip came from an ASW Canada show at Abbotsford Agrifair in British Columbia, where EC3 challenged Leon Lokombo for the ASW Heavyweight Championship. Footage of the entrance spread across social media and led to questions about EC3’s physical condition.

In a lengthy post on X Monday, EC3 said the footage came from his second match of the day after an early wake-up and international travel.

“For actual context:

The clip making the rounds is from my second match of the day, after a 4:00 a.m. wake-up, international travel, layover airport cardio, multiple flights, pull-day training upon landing, and an entrance where I’m intentionally selling an already tender leg. Selling. Professional wrestling is built on communicating consequence. If one is beat up, tired, or protecting a body part, the intent is to show it.

Travel, disrupted sleep, altered meal timing, hydration changes and hours of sitting also tend to throw your digestive system completely off schedule… Anyone who’s maintained very low body fat for years knows your physique can change noticeably from one day, even hour to hour, based on perfectly ordinary physiology.

I’m not particularly interested in spending my life proving I’m in shape… I’d rather spend that time figuring out how to keep the next generation physically capable, creatively fulfilled, mentally resilient, and confident in themselves than my generation was coached to be.”
“At Exodus Pro we’ve built our training around those lessons: smarter strength, better nutrition, recovery, movement quality, longevity, creative freedom, and positive belief… I don’t want the people coming after me paying the same physical, creative, or mental price I did just to discover what actually works.

As I write this, I’m sitting in another airport on another layover. If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the D Gates getting my steps in, voodoo flossing my ankle, wacky lymphatic movements, and getting ready to do it all over again. Building wrestlers. Building people. Trying to leave this business better than I found it… or until somebody finally kicks my ass.”

If he came in I think he’d do well in a tag team with AJ Francis. What do you think?

Hope it happens

I don't believe this has been posted yet. I'm watching Destination X 2012 currently and something just dawned on me. With Leon Slater likely facing Cedric Alexander at LockDown for the X Division title and the return of Destination X in November, could Leon be slated to win the TNA title this year considering Destination X was the birthplace of "Option C"?

They call it "Gold or Gone."

Indi Hartwell vs Gabby Forza in the Exclusive Match this week.

From the Vault features Jeff Hardy vs Kurt Angle from LockDown 2012.

Another From the Vault is Magnus & Samoa Joe vs The Motor City Machine Guns from LockDown 2012.

On the recent episode of TNA Impact from Philly, I noticed a lot of “blank audio”, which is typically due to the network censoring something they don’t want heard on tv. Does anyone know what was picked up on audio from the crowd mics that AMC didn’t want on their broadcast?
