Earlier today, Total Nonstop Action [TNA] wrestling announced they are creating a new one-hour television series, titled "TNA EPIX," that will debut in early 2009.

According to the press release, "TNA EPIX" will feature and highlight the most awe-inspiring and monumental moments, matches and superstars that shaped the face of TNA from its 2002 inception through today.

"TNA EPIX" will feature material from the early Wednesday nigh Pay-Per-Views that ran from the 2002 inception through lat 2004; the Fox Sports Net era, the evolution of TNA on Spike TV and the most recent wars inside the six-sided ring. In addition, "TNA EPIX" will feature rare matches, archived footage, fresh historical commentary from the TNA Superstars and much more.

I am actually excited for this because I prefer the older TNA matches and material from the weekly pay-per-views and FSN era than what has been shown on Spike TV in the last three years. Yes, its kinda like TNA's version of WWE 24/7 and while it may not be as great a 24/7 since TNA is not as expansive or have the longevity of WWE, reliving some great TNA matches, such as AJ Styles vs. D'Lo Brown Ladder match, Lo-Ki vs. Amazing Red and AMW vs. XXX Cage Match, are a welcome to me.

Even better is that people who are just now getting into TNA can have the chance to go back in time and see just how much better TNA was when the Tag-Team and X-Divisions were in their prime and the backbone and heart of the company. Don't believe? Check out the archive footage, some of which is on YouTube, compare it with today's product and then get back to me with your answer.
