I personally view them as an inconsistent product that is making a strong attempt to improve and grow their viewership. The in-ring wrestling (in my opinion) is superior than that of the WWE and inferior to that of ROH. Promos and skits (the third-party entertainment stuff) is not the main attraction in my opinion. TNA has a very good roster at the moment, but improvements could or would help (bringing in more luchadors to expand their audience and create more exciting in-ring action). Overall, I say that TNA is above WWE and below ROH in terms of an entertaining product.

Yes, I find TNA very entertaining. I go through phases where I enjoy TNA more than WWE, and vise versa. TNA has a lot of flaws, but there are a lot of positives about the company, as well. For example, as you mentioned, the excellent roster they have. Sure, many of them are former WWE stars, but hey, talent is talent.
I think the current Aces & Eights story line is quite intriguing. Many don't seem to like it, but I think it's great that TNA is putting effort into producing a long-term storyline, something they have failed at doing in the past.
Another thing that I'm very pleased about is how the TNA fans are invested into the female performers (Knockouts). They seem to enjoy their matches, as well as the characters, as opposed the the 2-minute WWE Divas matches, where it seems that the crowd couldn't care less.
TNA seems to be growing and improving, slowly but surely. I'm excited too see what the future holds.
I agree that they're extremely inconsistent. One week, they blow me away with overall wrestling quality and storyline advancement. But the next week, they somewhat "take a break" and, despite wrestling quality still being there, storyline progression is basically wrecked. Take the Bully Ray storyline for instance. I liked the fact that he screwed the Hogans and joined Aces and Eights. It was a perfect swerve (though a large majority expected it). But the next week on Impact, they do.. well, the same thing they do every week. They attack their prey, and either get overthrown or steal the advantage. Nothing new. Bully Ray being revealed as the leader should've changed something. A celebration, an injury, anything. I doubt I'm going to watch next week's Impact because of this.
I think their main problem is trying too hard to beat the competition. We all know the competition is WWE, and they're constant mentioning of them has been blown way out of proportion. I remember an Impact commercial where they conducted a short interview with a fan, and he said "it's not about the sports entertainment, it's about the wrestling", which is obviously a shot at WWE since they promote themselves as a sports entertainment company. I think they need to drop the obsession with WWE and just be TNA if they plan to compete with the big leagues.
Yes. My biggest complaint with TNA is they let X-Division Wrestlers go, the let Women Wrestlers go and either let Tag Teams go or break them up. There was a time that TNA's X-Division stood out, their Tag Team Division was far better than WWE's and their Knockouts Division was far better than The WWE Divas Division. The One Night Only Shows that TNA did down in Florida give me some hope for the future because The Women Wrestlers that they brought in for The Knockouts Pay Per View were some of the Women who wreslted for TNA in the past and were great and I wish they had never left. The Tag Team Pay Per View that they taped brought back some Great Tag Teams and I wish they would stay. I read these reports from Professional Wrestling Insider Newsletters.
ROH Wrestling in terms of in ring wrestling action movement is better than TNA and WWE combined.
TNA aims towards teens and grown ups and not children.
WWE fan age is lower than 10.
It is inconsistent but no more than any other company in my eyes. TNA just needs more people to pay attention.
They need to pull off a shock move for a big name in the game. Like they did when Kurt Angle signed for them but on more of a grand scale like when Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart respectively signed for WCW and the controversy surrounding their WWF departures.
Something like that would get more people watching.
I have my problems with TNA but I I very much enjoy their product.
They have some of my favorite wrestlers In the world and great matches.
Even their storylines are starting to Improve.
i admire result plenty extra effective than TNA. Frankly TNA looks like the call of a bad women's business enterprise that emphasizes the erotic factors of ladies's wrestling extremely than the athletic skills (in all probability using fact fairly some women workers in those form of agencies tend to be destructive wrestlers.
if it wasnt for the aces and eights storyline, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, Kurt Angle, and Jeff Hardy TNA wouldn't be watchable
Eh, I mainly only watch it because it's wrestling
sure
