A glorified mediocre North American Independent wrestling promotion with no future or anything worthwhile that you couldn't find elsewhere. Usually backed by wannabe smarks without a mite of ring knowledge who live on internet message boards. Ruled with an iron fist by the son of legendary promoter Jerry Jarret, Jeff Jarrent, though not entirely visible on the surface, per se. While the Jarrets are technically minority owners, Panda Energy's (the parent investors) owner's daughter, Dixie Carter, just so happens to run TNA. She also just so happens to be very tight with Jeff Jarret. Nuff said. While the talent (Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, AMW, etc.) and wrestling minds (Mike Tenay, Scott D'Amore, etc.) are all there, the smooth execution of all the aforementioned isn't. Bar none one of the worst, if not THE worst, Heavyweight divisions on North American soil EVER. Their current World Champion is an overhyped, reach-for-the-channel-changer, WWE reject with no credibility who has proven to be a lackluster babyface from the onset of his reign. With Scott Steiner being recently brought into the fold and Kevin Nash's expressed interest in the booking end of things, it's only a matter of time before all the remaining big ECW names will finally be able to appear at the now annual One Night Stand ECW reunion show.

TNA is a weekly televised wrestling show that is full of predictable nonstop "action". Below is quick break down of an episode of TNA.
- Eric Bischoff cuts a 20 minute promo.
- The commentary team announce the match card.
- A fight breaks down backstage and lasts around 10 minutes.
- A knockouts match is on but ends in about 4 minutes, another knockout beats down the winner and walks off.
- Eric Bischoff is shown talking with Ric Flair backstage until commercial break.
- A tag team match is on, the face team wins but are attacked after that.
- Eric Bischoff and Immortal are talking backstage about taking over.
- The main event ends in a no contest when Immortal beat down the face superstar.
- End of TNA.
This is basically the same every single week but it's okay because they have Hogan, Flair, Russo and Bischoff so it's just like WCW, which was pretty horrible but it's harsh to say TNA is like watching a car crash... because a car crash would have some meaningful confrontation.

Total Non-Stop Action = Worst name for a wrestling company in the history of the fake, but enjoyable "sport".
TNA is where former-WWE wrestlers ply their trade when WWE Creative has "nothing for them". Its also where wannabe wrestlers who would never make it in WWE can be found.
TNA's weekly iMPACT WRESTLING show is a WWE tribute program featuring several of Vince McMahon's stars of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. The show also recycles old WWE Monday Night RAW story lines.
TNA's month pay-per-view events are watched by millions. CORRECTION: TNA's monthly pay-per-view events are barely watched and cost the company millions each year.

"Did you watch "TNA iMPACT WRESTLING last night?"
"No. If I want to watch a wrestling show, I'll tune into WWE"
"I figured as much. I don't know anyone who likes TNA"

TNA or Total No Action wrestling is thee worst promotion of all times. Most TNA fans are either blind or stupid. Also their show TNA Impact gives away free tickets because they know if they charged, they'll have an empty arena everytime. Not even their dumbass fans would pay for their shit. Factors for TNA sucking include but not all:
-Overdramatic storylines
-Unneeded shock factors
-Untalented worked matches covered blood
-Incomptent authority figures
-Constant constant constant constant WWE references
-Typical need to copy WWE. Unoriginal
-Unconcerned with their wrestler's health

Example 1:
TNA fan: WWE sucks because its PG
WWE fan: If you think it sucks just because it's PG, you're not a true wrestling fan. I rather watch a quality PG match than a typical TNA glorified bloody mess.
TNA fan: We have blood! WWE don't. Hahaha fuck you!
WWE fan: My point exactly...
Example 2:
Jason: Did you see TNA the other day when they ripped on WWE for the Raw guest hosts idea?
Me: Yeah I heard about it. At least WWE can get decent celebrities. TNA could barely get anyone to appear on their shit show.

WCW-Lite. Packed with wrestlers no-one cares about, and WWE cast-offs (which no-one cares about either). Vince Russo's bastard child of logical booking.

TNA or Total Nonstop Assholes is an alternative nickname for the WWE knock off TNA. Unlike WWE, TNA Features Constant nonstop yelling by their washed up wrestlers who constantly act like assholes nonstop.
Justin: Hey Mindy do you like TNA wrestling?
Mindy: No I don't.
Justin: Me neither, its more like Total Nonstop Assholes.
Mindy: I agree with you on that one.
Mindy: No I don't.
Justin: Me neither, its more like Total Nonstop Assholes.
Mindy: I agree with you on that one.
