TNA Epics definitely worth your time
Just what I needed: Yet another hour of wrestling to watch on Thursdays.
I normally would skip a “best of” show, but judging by the first episode of TNA Epics, which debuted right after Impact Thursday night on Spike TV, I’m going to be a regular viewer of the monthly program.
TNA Epics, which originally began airing last year in the United Kingdom, features notable matches in TNA’s history, as well as comments about the matches from the competitors.
Kurt Angle was the subject of Thursday’s show. Three of his matches from TNA pay-per-views were shown: versus Samoa Joe (Genesis, 2006), versus Jeff Jarrett (Genesis, 2009) and versus A.J. Styles in a last man standing match (Hard Justice, 2008). It goes without saying that all of the matches were outstanding.
Even though I had seen two of these matches before (Angle-Joe and Angle-Jarrett), I have only watched a few TNA pay-per-views in their entirety, so I’m guessing that a lot of the matches on future episodes will be ones that are new to me.
As far as the matches on this show, my favorite was Angle’s battle against Jarrett. To me, that was one of the best, most intense matches of the year. One of the reasons it was so compelling is because both guys were bleeding – especially Jarrett. It reinforced the idea that, when used on occasion, blood is a very effective way of adding to the drama of a match.

It was a great show,a wrestling program that shows WRESTLING.With who's running TNA it's only a matter of time before they destroy this show with dumb childish skits.

Hey Kevin, I believe the show is monthly, not weekly.
RESPONSE FROM KE: You are right. Thanks for the head's up. I have corrected it.

That's way more than most of us, Kevin.

Styles and Angle are two of the best in the business. Their match on TNA EPIC was tremendous.

I feel a bit strange being one of the people that started watching TNA now that Hogan showed up.
I'm suprised with alot of the things they do right. #1 on my list, I was not aware that they put Impact up on youtube the night it airs. Good on them!
