It had great graphics and some fun game play. There wasnt enough features though. It felt rushed. No knockouts, no tag team entrances, no tna matches apart from Ultimate X, poor create a wrestler, not a big enough in game roster etc. I would of killed for a second game that fixed those issues.
@@Markyd123 all these wrestling companies and WWE is the only one putting out video games anymore and they can't even get it right...you can't expect too much from Impact wrestling you'll ALWAYS be disappointed.
I’m gonna be honest.. TNA in 2008 was incredible. I remember being far more into a lot of the storylines and workers than anyone in WWE at the same time
Roxxi always dove into whatever character she was given, much like Daffney would. She worked hard and believably and was a perfect white meat babyface; she also made others look great. It isn't all about flash, my guy. She is also a good person, gorgeous and an OG Knockout who never got her due as champion despite giving tons of blood and all her hair for the company. Love Roxxi. Forever underrated.
The thing with roxxi was that fans hated Russo so much for making her shave her hair in such a stupid match. It didn't help that TNA didn't learn there lesson after Raven got cut up from goat shears on wet hair.
First time seeing that spot and...no words. That is something that a teenager might do, feeling invincible, or a guy on flakka that won't feel the pain but wtf. There is no way to make it safe either?!
I remember ordering this, & Yes, it was an amazing pay per view! Watching this footage again, it certainly holds up. Back then, TNA shows really felt like big events. I miss that! Though I have been enjoying the recent product, though.
What!? Roxxi was one of the best Knockouts and my personal favorite. She had a likable personality, charisma (not as much as ODB or Kong, but she was still very over), had in-ring skills, and cool moves (Voodoo/Cajun Drop, Double A Spinebuster, Big Boot, Snap Fallaway Slam)! She literally was a total package. Her gimmick was the Hardcore Knockout because she was the most Hardcore matches within the Knockouts, and even bled in all of these matches she had.
TNA had so much potential and amazing roster.but there overbooking killed many great matches.few of this ppv are example of it.then hogan and bischoff came and ended everything.
It never had a chance. At any given moment in TNA's history, either Jarrett, Russo, Dixie, Prichard, Cornette, Hogan or Calis were in charge. And they are absolutely r-tarded about running a wrestling promotion and can all shuv it!
All I can say is that Roxxi was different and was given so much shit during her run (especially after she got her hair shaven), you couldn't help but root for her. I definitely did back then. I thought she was a scrapper, which made her one of my favorite knockouts. But, I understand if no one else saw the appeal, other than being bald..
How? He was pushed like a beast his first 2 years in the company and even had the greatest tna match at unbreakable with Christopher daniels and aj styles
Saw Roxxi at a wrestling show I was setting up the ring for (set up the ring, get free tickets. Why not?) and this was after her TNA run. I said something along the lines of, "Nice to see you back at the Opera House", because before TNA she used to wrestle for a now defunct promotion called WFA in the same building. Instead of just giving me a half assed "Yeah", she just stared at me blankly for a few seconds, like a deer in headlights, before turning to talk to another wrestler. That's alright, I got snubbed by Mercedes KV (better known today as Sasha Banks) just a few minutes later. Although Sasha's snub was a little better. "Why is the ring help talking to me?" She even had an ego before going to WWE.
Of course, I was with sting but I also feel this the night sting age started catching up with him and sting best match in TNA was sting vs Jarrett at B4G 06
First time seeing that Samoa Joe stairway drop kick. How in the world did he not shatter his tailbone or even worse, a nut. That’s like something you’d see in those terrible cinematic matches, but Joe’s mad ass did it on concrete steps.
Yea I left a comment calling him a lier. It was the biggest bullshit hour of my life. Constant claims of being natty and jesse godderz is also natyy too apparently. Even though Zema Ion said they failed constant tests. I have nothing against steroids, it's when people lie about them that I get mad!
14:17 Finally someone who knows Samoa Joe was never NWA World Heavyweight Champion, one reason why I don't like WhatCulture anymore, they don't know who was Champion and when(look at when they talk about Kurt Angle's debut in their Top 10 TNA debuts video)
Mike Bottomless Pit Dunham it’s because they never watched the product at the time you can tell there is no passion in their videos. I hope you enjoyed your shout out in my ring Ka king vid mate!
@@Markyd123 that's true, I do like Simon Miller though, he's their face that runs the place, and I did enjoy the shout out, it was a very welcomed surprise
I really can't stand them either. I saw a video of their's where they said Austin vs Hart at Wrestlemania 13 was for the WWF title, so it's not just TNA that they don't know shit about. They don't know anything about wrestling in general
When I bought this PPV, it glitched up and I didn't get to watch it live. It froze for 40 minutes, and I didn't get to see the main event. That's ok cuz Christian vs Booker vs AJ was my main event. I just wish I could have seen Joe do that kick dive in the crowd. And then MEM twist turn.
@@teach6882 for prime years watch from 2005 till 2008. 2002-2004 was lot like upgraded wcw and Jarrett reign of terror can ruin your experience. 2010-2011 is tna becoming wwe lite. 2012 is decent year then 2013 and 2014 led to wrestler's leaving so meh
I remember being scarred by that monsters ball match when I was younger At the time I did not know wrestling was not real fighting, so I believed homicide was seriously taking a knife and fork to team 3D's heads.
I knew it wont just me who saw that Angelina love had fell off when she came back. During this time, she was 1 of wrestling sexiest women then came back like you said. Looking very grey skulleesss🤣
What I liked about Roxxi was that she had talent and passion which the beautiful people lacked. The BP were an embarrassment - why would I want softcore porn while trying to enjoy wrestling?
I think everything went well in this PPV except Mango as ref. Dude sucked in WCW and he just looked obese. 2nd best PPV by Impact, 1st be Slammiversary 2018
- Slammiversary XVI 2018? - I think you forget it had some really trash matches (DreamerVsEdwards, Su YungVsMadison Rayne). - Plus the perplexing match where Matt Sydall keeps overpowering Brian Cage. (Backwards booking). - It was surprising for 2018 Impact but honestly anything from 2007-2009 in TNA is better than that.
2005-2008 TNA was on their shit (i just didnt like Jeff Jarrett although he was more tolerable in 2006 for me) but Bound For Glory 2006 might be the best TNA PPV in my opinion
Never understood why nash took the bat off sting just to hit Joe with it. He could of just been the one to pass the bat to sting. You still get the swerve and sting still uses the bat
The tna game was a solid 6.5 just because how batshit crazy it was, not the best but enjoyable and needed and upgraded sequel
It had great graphics and some fun game play. There wasnt enough features though. It felt rushed. No knockouts, no tag team entrances, no tna matches apart from Ultimate X, poor create a wrestler, not a big enough in game roster etc. I would of killed for a second game that fixed those issues.
I played it on psp emulator and Bah gawd it's controls are atrocious. I loved it's lighting and animation of finishing moves tho

@@TiciTotyTony all this just makes me want to go and hunt it down and play it again lmao

Imo the best overall wrestler ever
I’m gonna be honest.. TNA in 2008 was incredible. I remember being far more into a lot of the storylines and workers than anyone in WWE at the same time
aka the one where Samoa Joe almost breaks his back giving a shitty dropkick to Stang.
Like why would you ever do that on the stairs like jeez
@@Venemofthe888 lol poor bastard, the physical personification of 'instant regret'
Well this was at least one of those times where all his fat helped pad his landing a bit.
@@MrRjh63 😂😂😊😂
It is a miracle that he did not have any cracked vertebrae or pinched spinal cord.
Roxxi once cut a promo where she said she liked comics, and as a hormone driven teenager, I thought “I like comics too, so I like Roxxi!”
Yeah, I was a huge fan of hers! Sad to know that she's retired.
They pushed her as the Hardcore Knockout and at the time you didnt see any women doing hardcore matches so I was into her
I just found out she exists but I think her name should have been Foxxi..... Because I find her attractive...... Like foxy.... I'll see myself out.
@@fattdamon1980 I thought she was kinda foxy though so you're not alone. When she was the voodoo queen Roxxi Laveaux I dug her even more
@@TSears2010 I'll check her out as the voodoo queen, thanks for the tip.
The Implant Buster has to be the greatest name for a move EVER LOL

FYI she shaved her head to let her hair recover from years of harsh dye jobs.
I'm shocked you did not mention how Joe nearly castrated himself by almost hitting the handrail when he jumped from the balcony.
I just noticed it was a bad landing
Joe can shuv it!
@@ConanVictor MAAAAAaaan!
@@JRWall-hf9mq His Fat Ass saved him lol, but being serious that was too risky .
@@JRWall-hf9mq nutted himself?
The dropkick from Joe is just batshit crazy,i dont know why he did that? Did he tryed to kill himself to get out of TNA
First time seeing that spot and...no words. That is something that a teenager might do, feeling invincible, or a guy on flakka that won't feel the pain but wtf. There is no way to make it safe either?!
Lmao, still can't beleive Joe did a drop kick down a flight of concrete steps. Was never the same after that IMO.
Roxxi gimmick was pretty good loved the Hardcore knockout something I hadn’t seen before when started watching tna
I remember ordering this, & Yes, it was an amazing pay per view! Watching this footage again, it certainly holds up. Back then, TNA shows really felt like big events. I miss that! Though I have been enjoying the recent product, though.
Not gonna lie, that fresh royalty free Hip Hop jam is what keeps me coming back to your videos.
Thanks it’s called victory. Fits wrestling’s vids perfectly.
check out sacrifice 2007 if u haven’t already. the texas death match between james storm and chris harris deserves to be talked about more tbh
I think I watched it for my James storm career video it was great and brutal!
Was struggling to find something to watch, luckily this popped up

Agreed!!
I swear I brought and resold that TNA game back so many times 🤣. Its a fun game 2 play but not enough to keep you playing after the story over
1:20 Brock Lesnar Guy is literally everywhere at this point
How the f*** could TNA drop the ball so bad with Samoa Joe
Because they didnt see him as a big draw
He refused to drop weight
and wwe is doing him good now?
Same way wwe is doing
How? He was pushed like a beast his first 2 years in the company and even had the greatest tna match at unbreakable with Christopher daniels and aj styles
The early Destination X PPV’s were always the best of the year for TNA.

1:22 is that the brock lesnar fan guy. Its looks like it
WHYPHY22 yeah it is.
i love how some fans have identity :D
Yeah this was definitely my pick for favorite TNA PPV of all time
Roxxi was literally the epitome of Knockout! Gorgeous, athletic, badass, hardcore. Smh.
Wow! Joe looked as good here as he did back in ROH, however briefly.
First time seeing that Samoa Joe stairway drop kick. How in the world did he not shatter his tailbone or even worse, a nut. That’s like something you’d see in those terrible cinematic matches, but Joe’s mad ass did it on concrete steps.

Great Review Man excellent video!!
Bloody hell your eating up the subs mate ! When I’m not a dole warrior again I’ll get on the pat tree on. Rona stole my job

@@Markyd123 does that mean you're making yourself watch 4 weeks' worth of Wrestle House at once? You're a braver man than me Marky.
Pushing the veterans took all the momentum out of TNA. I was pretty stoked for TNA for a while. Such a dissapointment, they had such a stacked roster!
Hey. The TNA game was great
Always loved Angelina Love....but not for her wrestling!
Unfortunately she got better near the tail end of her career.
Final resolution 2005 Is one of my favorites.
Geez, that Joe spot on the stairs was worse than I remembered.
BFG 2006 is my favorite, 2005 is also awesome.
bound for glory... holes.
Looked like a greatvppv
This was the only wrestling PPV I ever got lol my friends and I randomly ordered it in high school. Card ended up being amazing.
I popped too hard for “bound to shuv it”... I almost gave up on wrestling before finding this channel.
Curry was a hot wrestler :p
Back when I used to watch TNA on the regular
Roxy did look hot with the shaved head look
Marky's got the COVID
I liked Roxxi when she still had the voodoo gimmick
Great review mate!
Yo Hawk, where do you watch all the old tna stuff?

They probably knew their role especially velvet😗😋😋😋😋

make a review about the tna impact game
what is this song that plays in all these videos that sounds like a rockabilly version of Kryptonite??
Come on American patriotism is a huge part of wrestling
his name is probably pronounced like Zachary cept with a “J”
Like Shakira but Sheik +iri.

2005-2008 TNA was full throttle.
I remember enjoying BFG 07 more
Maybe I should make that my next ppv then
It’s clear listening to how you describe the matches and moves that you’ve just been watching wrestling for 5 or less years.
Yep it was always about the old school and the young guys getting screwed
The Roxxi you described is the one everyone hated 😂😂 stupid voodoo queen with the voodoo kin mafia is who we loved
Well i hope you dont have the rona Marky stay well.
