TNA Wrestling once upon a time was kind of a big deal. After debuting on Spike in 2005, they slowly grew their audience and became big enough wrestling company to get a video game deal. With TNA iMPACT being the first licensed wrestling game since 2000, it was a big deal. With Kurt Angle on the cover, the Icon Sting. Sky was the limit. Sadly we only ever got one TNA video game, and in 2022, TNA is nothing like what it used to be. So why not go back to 2008 and take a look back at the one and only TNA video game?

I loved TNA impact as a kid. It was crazy seeing wrestling in a 6 sided ring. The roster was so unique back then. I came across it one night. Loved it for a few yrs. Then fell out of wrestling in general around 2010-2011. That 2005-2009 era of wrestling (TNA and wwe) was fantastic.

@xavier76thman 2 года назад

Man, I remember when I first saw TNA on TV in 2003! I was flipping through channels at my aunts house late at night, and was like WTF Road Dogg, X-PAC, Konnan, I missed y’all, where have you guys been! To the point where I was casually watching the product until about 2010. Homicide was always my favorite wrestler on the roster. You were spot on Pav, when you said you simply had to be there, because it was a damn good time to be a pro wrestling fan!

@camilocortes2679 2 года назад

i was a HUGE fan of TNA back in the day, and i'm from a no "Wrestling country": Colombia. I used to download the PPVs from Ares and watch those videos time and time again, so when i got this videogame i was soooooo happy. I was VERY disapointed at first when i started playing but months later i gave it a new try and i totally crushed. I got involved in the story mode and i was investing in my character in order to put him on the main event of bound for glory again. It was a fun time in my life. Thanks for giving those momories back.

@neosname1074 2 года назад

My friend was a huge TNA fan and he of course, had this game, so I asked him to bring it with him on a weekend so we could play for a lil bit. I actually didn't like the game at all, I remember the controls being difficult for me at least and the movements around the ring were just god awful. Might play it again just to see if my feelings changed.

@yourfavoriteentertainment 2 года назад

@horrorshiddengems527 2 года назад

I remember discovering TNA in 2005, I played SVR but didn't have the channels for WWE at the time so TNA was my first introduction to watching wrestling, blew my mind seeing a different company and even seeing Christian (Cage) and eventually Kurt Angle and Booker T. Wrestlers I knew but couldn't watch. Eventually we got the WWE channels and when I watched TNA again around 2010/11, it just wasn't the same anymore.

@horrorshiddengems527 2 года назад

I played the TNA game and thought it underrated due to the controls, it was more complex than SVR at the time.

TNA is dead. What you call impact may technically be the same company, but TNA is dead. Anyone who grew up with TNA knows.

@TheKingofKings2272 2 года назад

I thought the game was fun. I know lots of people who hated it because of its gameplay style, which oddly enough was used for All Stars. Wasn’t much to the game, but I enjoyed it for a while

@shanayshukla6672 2 года назад

It was the same engine lol

@TheFEARSlayer01 2 года назад

Yep when I finally played All-Stars then I saw gameplay of this, it was pretty much the same gameplay just more over the top and arcade like. Seems a lot of animations are reused too. Menu sounds were as well.

@KingJadInfiniteHope 2 года назад

yea but 2 things. 1, all stars was a game clearly invented to be purely arcade style, while TNA was supposed to be more of a mix and 2, they updated the engine and made it better by 2011.

@thehorrorhound6575 2 года назад

The original plan was a multi year deal with midway the same way WWE had with THQ. We were supposed to get new TNA games every year but when time Warner purchased Midway so they could have mortal kombat as a WBs along with other gaming titles, TNA was sadly NOT one of the gaming franchises WB wanted to work on.

@lynxfang3352 2 года назад

When the game was released it was honestly a rip off and try hard of the wwe games. It only had a handful of the big stars in it, no knockouts division at all (which really disappointed me because I wanted a game that had The Beautiful People and Taylor and Gail and Kong I even would have settled for Trinity, Traci Brooks, and Jackie just to have a semblance of one) and the rest of the wrestlers were nobodies that you beat in the story mode as Suicide.

@fastcarwhite4115 2 года назад

Impact now is not bad like it once was. Just watch some of the ppv form 2018 to now. You will be surprised.

@lynxfang3352 2 года назад

Rosemary and Havok are carrying impact right now. If they get rid of them they will lose one of the most interesting stories they've ever had period. Not even just for the women, I am talking just in general, Rosemary and Decay are the most interesting faction I think I've ever seen hit that show.

Oh this game. While it was definitely unique for what it was, the execution of certain aspects wasn’t good and definitely held the game back. I’m grateful the developers improved the engine for All Stars and it worked. So while I’m not a huge fan of this game, I’m grateful it exists, because it truly reminds you of some of the best times in wrestling. The mid 2000s will forever be awesome.

After Cena was out due to injury in 2007, I started watching TNA too and man I was amazed.😃 The roster was so cool even better than the WWE - some wrestlers were like copies of the WWE ones but still they had a personality of their own. The matches were amazing and the storylines were so good. I saw AJ Styles perform for the first time and I immediately became his fan.😃 Then WWE superstars started coming to TNA and it became even better to watch. The storyline in which the Shark Boy became like Stone Cold Steve Austin was really fascinating.🔥
