I feel like if you like AEW then you may like TNA. Similar vibe despite lower production value.

If you watch both consistently, what is your opinion between the two?

the way i see it is impact is basically filling the void that roh took before.

this isn't a knock; i think it's a good thing (and it's not a knock on current roh, either, since i feel that current roh files the void that nxt filled)

i love seeing impact thriving, too. especially since i love canada getting a good rising promotion :)

@cupcakezealot off topic, but what space do you think NXT currently fills? That's the other show that I regularly watch is why I ask.

i honestly haven't watched it since black and gold but i think these days it's essentially more of a third show, akin to the former aew dark.

@ArnoldBooker @SquaredCircle TNA feels a bit more steady in its consistency, while AEW has higher highs and lower lows. The fan base for TNA also feels more chill overall. Both are super fun though. Wish there’d been more crossover with the Knockouts when they worked together more.

Yeah you summed it up nicely. I don't expect to see huge things out of TNA (so when an Ospreay, or Okada shows up its real special), but they stay consistent enough that I also don't expect to see NWA levels of Tyrus and/or coke spots either. AEW I expect consistency, but see it go above and below the curve depending on the show/event.

@GeekFTW @ArnoldBooker @kessleragain I've found my relationship with AEW to be very on/off over the last year to the point where I only tune in to bits that take my interest at the moment. I'm intrigued by TNA's pseudo-return and thought the production looked great on last night's show. Here's hoping they can get back on TV here in the UK.
