What is TNA Wrestling? – Part 2

by Brett Fitzpatrick

The X Division has also seen the introduction of a new type of match for the X Division championship; the Ultimate X match is a high-flying variation on something like a Ladder match, except with the X Division championship being suspended on two intersecting wires above the ring, forming an X.

Another aspect which separates TNA from the WWE is the amount of shoot angles that TNA runs. By catering to a more niche and complex audience, TNA has allowed itself to blur the line between the sports entertainment world and the scripted formulaic one. Shoot angles use actual MMA or Wrestling and the results are, usually, not scripted.

TNA uses the audiences knowledge of Kayfabe (the acknowledged scripted events that occur during professional wrestling, the suspension of disbelief which is required for all scripted drama) to subvert what they might expect to have, openly recognizing the booking team and the hierarchy present within both TNA and WWE.

TNA is recognized as have a good breed of established veterans paired with exciting cruiserweights, tag teams and female wrestlers; in comparisons with the WWE, TNA focuses more on actual wrestling as opposed to a lot of out-of-ring angles, meaning that the TNA competitors generally have a better average wrestling ability.

Along with their own talent, TNA also has former WCW and WWE wrestlers such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Booker T, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, The Dudley Boys, Abyss, Sting and Matt Morgan.

TNA DVDs have made TNA even more accessible outside of the United States, bringing the TNA brand of wrestling to countries that dont air TNA Impact (Such as New Zealand), and opening up more avenues for TNA to expand into.
