The Old Bucks are back in the Gorilla Room to discuss one of the most fascinating promotions in wrestling history: TNA Wrestling.Love it or hate it, TNA has left a lasting mark on the wrestling industry. The lads look back at the promotion's greatest successes, from helping establish stars such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle and Gail Kim, to creating an alternative for wrestling fans during WWE's monopoly years.Of course, no discussion about TNA would be complete without examining the mistakes. From controversial creative decisions to the eras dominated by figures like Jeff Jarrett and Hulk Hogan, the lads discuss the decisions that held the company back and the opportunities that slipped away.The conversation also explores perhaps TNA's most remarkable achievement: survival. Through ownership changes, rebrands, financial struggles, roster overhauls, and constant predictions of its demise, the promotion has somehow endured.Finally, Shane and Morro examine where TNA stands in 2026. Following the much-praised period under Scott D'Amore, has the company maintained its momentum, and what role does it play in the wrestling landscape today?Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat and future podcast topics: https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.
