I occasionally watch TNA but i'm a diehard WWE fan, I never miss a WWE episode. I know the basic, obvious facts about TNA, but could you guys give me 10 facts I might not know yet?
Tough to say, I haven't been following TNA as much as I use to, but I'll give it a try!
Fact #1: They like former WWE Superstars, they hire many from the WWE, give them a chance in TNA, and put them in Main Events, and even have had many win the TNA Title, other than a few short title reigns here and there from some of the originals like, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Abyss, and a few others like Sting and Ron Killings in the early part of TNA, the rest of the TNA Champions have been former WWE Stars, such as, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, Rhyno, Raven, Christian, Ken Shamrock, and that is all I can think of!
Fact #2: TNA has only been in existence for 8 years, they started off doing Weekly PPVs for exposure, since they didn't have a TV Deal, and eventually went from a small network on FSN, to doing a couple specials on "The Best Damn Sports Show." to Spike TV now!
Fact #3: The CEO and President of TNA is Dixie Carter, before entering the wrestling business she was involved in the music business!
Fact #4: TNA is TV-14 and allows elements of Blood, Swearing, and mild Sexual Content on their Television Broadcast!
Fact #5: The only person to ever hold all the current TNA belts for the Men's Division is AJ Styles!
Fact #6: At one point in time, Kurt Angle, held every single title in TNA Men's Division simultaneously!
Fact #7: The TNA Tv Title has had 3 different names within the 2 years it has been in existence!
Fact #8: Little know fact, Chris Jericho, and his band, Fozzy, performed the theme song for a TNA PPV once, and Chris Jericho was even interviewed by TNA.com!
Fact #9: In some countries, TNA Impact gets higher ratings than WWE Raw!
Fact #10: Mickie James is the first and only woman to ever compete in a Raven's House of Fun Clockwork Orange match (Don't ask me what that is, I'm scratching my head over it too)
