They've got a lot of enjoyable guys, have storylines and matches aren't all 20+ like AEW.

  • @1zerois
    @1zerois 3 ปีที่แล้ว +151

    What’s even more crazy than hearing that Rellik is Killer spelt backwards, is that Johnny Stamboli originally debuted what would become the Rellik character in 2005 All Japan as “GREAT MUTA,” a Great Muta imposter, which is why he does the mist gimmick and wears a similar style mask.
    He also used this character in Mexico in 2006, but called himself “redruM,” which might shock some people to learn, is Murder spelt backwards

    Rellik was a cool name. Besides the gag that it's "killer" backwards, it meant he was an ancient (relic) evil, released to cause torment. And he was okay as a wrestler. The problem was all with TNA not using him right.

    I’ve been watching your channel for a while and these TNA videos are great because I’ve never watched a single episode of TNA. Hell I don’t even think I was aware of that wrestling promotion until like 2006? If I remember correctly. I’m a young man. Only 26 but watching all these TNA videos makes me wonder how they weren’t more successful lmao. They had a lot of talent come in.. and it just didn’t pan out for them. Idk how. So much talent and nothing.. to show for it really.

    Been binge watching your videos a lot over the last few days while I've been off work due to injuries and the more I watch the more I want to just go back and rewatch old TNA. That was my jam when it was current from like 2005-2015 when it was just the easiest wrestling to watch here in the UK. Plus it was actually better than the WWE at the time in my opinion. Well up until like 2012 when TNA really started declining.
