Tonight live on pay-per-view TNA wrestling presents “Turning Point”. One of the regular events throughout the year. Going into tonight’s event TNA Wrestling has positioned itself it to a good position business-wise. After the success of this year’s “Bound For Glory” it is safe to say that 2012 has been the year of TNA. After a slow start going live with Impact on Thursdays verses being recorded the company looks to be on the road to positioning itself to become a solid competitor for the WWE.
Sadly since Vince McMahon bought WCW World Wrestling Entertainment has had no competition on television. The growth and evolution of the TNA product and it’s partnership with Spike TV have proven in my opinion to have been the perfect combination which has given TNA a solid platform to promote it’s product to a growing audience.
There’s no getting around the fact that the WWE has been suffering both with ratings and storylines. Right now the WWE looks to be disorganized and creatively missing the mark and not following through with the few solid storylines they have had over the past several months. The success of TNA’s last pay-per-view “Bound For Glory” proves that they are ready to take on the WWE.
TNA is reaching that wrestling fan demographic which has found itself frustrated with the current state of WWE programming. Tonight’s TNA event will be interesting as it appears that the matches on the card at least on paper appear to be of the same high energy and entertaining level as BFG last month.
The match that gets my attention is the ladder match between Jeff Hardy and Austin Aries. Hardy has a long history in ladder matches and has practically build his career on being the high-flyer risk taker. Hardy goes above and beyond to give fans a good match. If you saw last weeks Impact show you know he takes a bump really hard.
It will be interesting to see reaction post pay per view from wrestling fans. Will tonight;s event elevate TNA to yet another level?
Here’s the entire card for tonight’s pay per view
