Bravo are going to start airing a new TNA show on Friday nights focusing on old school TNA matches called TNA Epics.
This looks very, very good and the fact it's on Bravo means I'll be able to watch it on Catch Up.

To quote the TNA fans during all three matches- THIS IS AWESOME!
They started off the show with Triple X vs AMW at Turning Point 2004- you know the greatest match in TNA history! The showed all of it up till the first commercial break and then skipped ahead a few minutes. I think after each replay they kept skipping ahead too which was rather annoying. This match is still amazing and Elix Skipper's walk on the cage remains one of the best wrestling moments ever. Shame that him and Harris are now gone and Daniels and Storm are no further up the card 5 years later.
Up next was AJ & Daniels vs LAX at Bound For Glory 06 in a cage....yeah this is a cage episode. Another outstanding match, though it was clipped even more than the first grr. AJ's dive off the cage is outstanding, the height he got was um.... phenomenal... LAX were at their best here too, using forks and coat hangers to get the win.
Last we had Christian vs Rhino in a barbed wire weapons cage match I think from TNA's first ever two hour Impact. Hardly any of this match was shown sadly. It began and then like 3 minutes later you could hear the music they play for a commercial break, but because British TV doesn't have as many adverts as American TV rather than go to a break the match just skipped ahead by at least 5 minuets and when it came back the barbed wire had already been used and Cage was covered in blood. Anyway what was shown as very good and Rhino goring Cage through the door looked fantastic. It cost him the match, but it sure looked good.
Anyway a very good debut show. I have the first match on DVD but this was the first time I had ever seen the other two. Looking forward to the next show, hopefully it'll be an Ultimate X one.

Week 2 only features two matches, so they better be good.
Up first we have the first ever X-Division title match between AJ Styles (coming out to terrible music), Psicosis (without a mask which is strange), Low Ki and current ROH World Champ Jerry Lynn. In this match two people start and it's a case of 'winner stays on' and as soon as someone is beaten twice they are eliminated. AJ beats Psicosis and Low Ki before being beaten by Lynn.
Lynn then eliminates Psicosis (which we don't see due to the fucking break) and Low Ki making it AJ Styles vs Lynn, with AJ only having one life left. Obviously AJ wins making it 'next fall wins' and in comes special guest ref Ricky Steamboat (randomness!) and AJ gets the win. Great match, strange to hear West, Tenay and Cornette(?) marking out for moves that barely get a reaction from them these days.
Then we have Joe vs AJ vs Daniels in their first triple threat match. This is one of the best wresting matches of all time.
Another good show.

Anyone know what happened to this? I read online that this weeks show was about Jeff Hardy on Bravo went to watch it but it wasn't on. Some shitty film was instead. Same with next week too.

Hmmm, I usually watch it on CatchUp with Virgin and I saw it there the other week, not sure if it was three weeks or two weeks ago but it had Jarrett vs Raven in a very fun match on first. I did notice that eiher the channel or time was different, but since I only watch it on catch up I didn't take much notice of it.

I haven't been able to find a report for it like usual either so I'm guessing it wasn't on after all. We dont get catch up on Sky as Bravo is a virgin owned channel.
Shame really because I was enjoying it. Way better than the Vintage collection WWE show on Sky Sports.

TNA are giving a free match every day on youtube at the moment, which is a good alernaive. Some classics too.
