After a rough few months — okay, years — it looks like TNA is finally back on track.

This Thursday and next, TNA will present its two-episode Genesis special in lieu of standard episodes of Impact Wrestling. In some ways, Genesis represents a soft reset for TNA, as it is their first taping of the new year and their first go-around with the new reality of Magnus as champion.
Over the next three days, Dave will be reviewing the past month of Impact Wrestling action in anticipation of Thursday night’s Genesis Free-for-View (or whatever it is they call the things that used to be PPVs that they were losing money on). Here’s Part Three: the 1/9/2014 show.
Over the course of three days, Dave will be reviewing the past month of Impact Wrestling action in anticipation of Thursday night’s Genesis Free-for-View (or whatever it is they call the things that used to be PPVs that they were losing money on). Here’s Part Two: the 1/2/2014 show.
Over the next three days, Dave will be reviewing the past month in Impact Wrestling action in anticipation of Thursday night’s Genesis Free-for-View (or whatever it is they call the things that used to be PPVs that they were losing money on). Here’s part one: the 12/26 show.
This week, TNA films its post-Recession special “Feast or Fired” episode of Impact Wrestling.
This week, TNA presents their “Turning Point” event in lieu of a regular episode of Impact Wrestling. That “Turning Point” represents TNA’s return to Universal Studios, where they will tape two episodes of Impact over the weekend, is surprisingly, not the worst that could happen.
With two spooky bad segments for every good one, TNA is going to continue to scare away viewers no matter how good this new World Heavyweight title tournament is. Dave does the math, so you don’t have to.
It’s Bound For Glory Sunday! Which means it’s time for Dave to ask What’s the Worst That Could Happen? at BFG (you’d be surprised).
Above all, this match felt like a real main event. Wrestlers in a top storyline were fighting with something meaningful on the line, and they delivered a match of worthy length that told a story that, even with many bells and whistles, was easy for the crowd to get behind.
