TNA Greatest Moments DVD Review


by Phil Allely

TNA has not been in business for that long in comparison to its nearest rival the WWE. The reality is that since it's birth in 2002 the company has grown so much, that it's hard to imagine its not been around forever.

This new DVD release by TNA takes a look at some of the highlights from the past 3 years (2007-2010), a time when the company took its first major steps and cemented its path into serious contention for the WWE's mantle.

In three and bit hours the programme tries to capture some of the most thrilling, surprising and shocking events that have occurred during this time period.

The sections covered include title wins and chases, exciting matches, debuts and other highlights for TNA.

As a snapshot of just how good TNA can be this is a remarkable release. Even if you have many of the companies PPV's in your collection this is a must have disc. Where else are you going to get footage of The Hulkster debuting in TNA, his match with Abyss against AJ Styles and Ric Flair, Team 3D facing Rick Steiner and Animal and so much more.

There are some nice talking heads with many of the current roster, including Sting, Kurt Angle, Hogan, Flair, Taylor Wilde and Madison Rayne. The matches themselves are shown in clip form, but that doesn't take anything away from them, the pieces used are perfectly able to portray the tone and nature of each one. The performers talking about them also helps build a picture of just what's going on.

The fact that this disc covers up to recent events also gives an insight into just how TNA want to show they have a history and fanbase who appreciate just what they do.Hulk Hogan coming across as a face is a minor downside though, as he has just recently of course turned heel and taken control of the company from President Dixie Carter. But on a whole this is a fine example of how to do a 'best of' collection.

I highly recommend this to TNA fans old and new, plus anyone who wonders just what all of the fuss is about.
