My First Time 1 - TNA Event
This is a new feature I’ll be doing where i remember my first experience with things that happened in my life.
My first one is regarding what is now my favourite wrestling promotion, TNA. The first ever TNA event that I saw was Lockdown 2006 DVD.
I first discovered TNA in an issue of PowerSlam magazine. I was interested when I discovered the number of WWE Stars featured on the shows. I wanted to watch TNA but back when it was available only on Sky, I didn’t have it do I couldn’t watch it.
Eventually, I discovered that DVDs were being sold in HMV, do on my annual trip to Dunkeld, I went into Perth and found TNA Lockdown 2006 on DVD. I bought it and watched it that evening. Immediately, I loved TNA.
Featuring several great matches and some faces recognised and enjoyed watching again such as Christian, Team 3-D, Scott Steiner, Sabu & Rhino. There were some names that I heard of in magazines but never seen before and I loved watching them wrestle as soon as I saw them like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin, Abyss & America’s Most Wanted.
The first match was Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley & Sonjay Dutt Vs Black Tiger, Hirooki Goto & Minoru Tanaka, six men I’ve never heard of but appreciated their work and really enjoyed their match.
Seeing AJ Styles & Samoa Joe wrestling for the first time was a pleasure as I’ve heard many great things about them. I had to see for myself how awesome they were and I was not disappointed.
I loved how professional the promotion was & how serious everything was. There was no silly segments like on WWE PPVs and no filler matches. Every match had a purpose and were very decent & acceptable (possible exception of Konnan & Bob Armstrong arm wrestling segment).
Overall, Lockdown 2006 was the first time I watched TNA. I lived the show and 6 years later, I love TNA more than ever & now a fan more than the WWE. Here’s to TNA for the Future.
