August 30th, 2012 at 10:22 PM
***PHOTO1***Regardless of anything, good or bad, that this site or anyone else could say about TNA, the 'Aces and Eights' angle last week left enough questions to be answered that it would be hard to avoid watching 'Impact' this week. The biggest ones, appropriately, related to Austin Aries and the...
TNA Walks Slippery Slope with Aces, Eights, Austin Aries, and ‘Bound for Glory’
August 26th, 2012 at 1:02 PM
***PHOTO1***Thus far, Wrestling 101's coverage of TNA has been thoroughly positive, as 'Impact' has been a logically put-together weekly show, which is saying a lot, compared to the competition. Most of their roster is used effectively, they feature frequently feature good wrestling in abundance, and there is a consistent direction...

August 16th, 2012 at 10:10 PM

‘Hardcore Justice’ Review: TNA Gives a PPV for WRESTLING Fans
August 12th, 2012 at 11:03 PM
***PHOTO1***Covering TNA pay per views is new territory for World Wrestling 101.

August 9th, 2012 at 10:10 PM
***PHOTO1***With 'Hardcore Justice' coming this Sunday, it was time, with this episode of 'Impact', to see how well TNA could sell a pay per view. The show is set to have some exciting four-way matches, but without proper storylines to add intrigue, that's a bit of a tough sell. Hopefully...
‘Impact’ Review: TNA Roster Unites Against Aces and Eights; Good TV Ensues
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:05 PM

‘Impact’ Review: TNA Sticks to the Basics and Gets It Right
July 27th, 2012 at 2:28 PM
***PHOTO1***Given the way Aces and Eights has dominated ‘Impact’ as of late, it seemed safe to assume that TNA would focus its efforts on moving that storyline forward, in addition to the Bound for Glory Series. So, while it may not be their 1000th episode, its been proven that they...
Aces and Eights Dominate a Flat Episode of TNA ‘Impact’
July 20th, 2012 at 3:06 PM
***PHOTO1***It’s not easy to admit, but last week’s episode of ‘Impact’ was better than both ‘Raw’ and ‘Smackdown’. Thus, until TNA proves that it isn’t worth watching, Wrestling 101 will make a reasonable effort to cover the company’s events. Still, Thursday nights have yet to become about wrestling, so there...

July 10th, 2012 at 8:00 PM
***PHOTO1***To follow up on last Thursday’s article, TNA may have given anyone who has resisted watching ‘Impact’ a reason to finally tune in. The company’s ‘Destination X’ pay per view took place on Sunday, and the main event – Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode - felt like a giant statement...
No ‘Impact’: a Rare Foray into TNA
July 5th, 2012 at 5:33 PM
***PHOTO1***Oh, TNA. It’s the second biggest wrestling organization in America, owned by Dixie Carter and the unlimited funding of Panda Energy.
