What do you think of TNA as its been??

I feel they have the format absolutely spot on this year (2015) finding most shows enjoyable or really really good, just a shame they have hit the format 4-5 years too late, had they got this format when they switched to Monday nights they may have kept the 2 million.

Honestly, it is better than last year when they were taping in advance and not actually progressing with storylines but as we have seen recently with the ridiculous Mickie James/James Storm railroad storyline - they are struggling. Also there is only one person who I have feel has progressed in TNA in years and that has been EC3, who at best is a midcard wrestler.
