I've looked at TNA and have watched for the past 3 years. It's had something different like a 6 sided ring. I personally find nothing wrong with it as I think it's very innovative and trying to be different than any other promotion in the US. I know Mexico has a 6 sided ring with there promotion being AAA I think but that's another story talking about them.
Talent has come and gone like any promotion and for the longest time, it seemed that they would stay in Universal Studios after the days in Nashville on a weekly basis. Last year, TNA has taken a chance and had a PPV outside the area and went into Detroit and most recently St. Louis. With Slammiversary coming along the way, they are going to Nashville. In a way, it is fitting seeing how that area is where they got there start at.
House Shows have recently come about since they did partner with the UWF promotion run by Hermie Sadler. They've gone on there own and have started doing some House Shows here and there.
A few matches they created have become staples such as the Ultimate X mainly for the X-Division wrestlers. I actually like the concept and it's a lot different than anything I've ever seen. 6 sides of Steel is cool though as there's only one PPV that uses them which is fine. Lockdown is fine for it so I guess that's the perfect theme for it, every match in the cage. I admit both had been over used but I think they're being saved for bigger occasions and huge bouts. I can't forget the King of the Mountain Match. While the match sounds rather strange, it can be entertaining. It is sort of like a reverse ladder match
No longer do have NWA Title belts as they just now started there own history with the TNA World and Tag Team Titles.
Let's fast forward to now Slammiversary coming up. It will have the King of the Mountain Match.
So far, only 2 matches for sure have been confirmed. I can project the rest of the card and have an idea.
TNA World Title-KOTM
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe vs. (Predictions) AJ Styles vs. James Storm vs. Christian Cage
TNA X-Division Title
Chris Sabin (c) vs. "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal
TNA Tag Team Titles
Team 3D (c) vs. Steiner Bros.
1st time Ever
Sting vs. Christopher Daniels
Alex Shelly vs. Mr. Backlund
If Young wins, Roode has to release him from his contract
Robert Roode vs. Eric Young
Chris Harris & Rhino w/Hector Guerrero vs. LAX w/Konnan
Kaz vs. Raven
Maybe an X-Division Battle Royal where the winner gets an X-Division Title shot. Top 15 contenders.

I have started to watch TNA in September of last year, and I became an instant fan. As you have mentioned, they have a lot of innovative matches such as Ultimate X or King of the Mountain or Full Metal Mayhem.
In the future, they could even compete with the WWE, but first they need to get a 2-hour show because they have a huge roster, but no time to showcase it.
I am also looking forward to TNA Slammiversary PPV, which is basically the TNA's Wrestlemania, if I'm not mistaken.
The card is looking very promising except for the Shelley vs Bob Backlund match, which isn't needed on the card of such a big show. Also - Team 3D vs Steiner Bros. could be a disappointment if they don't turn it into some gimmick match.

I think TNA promotes Bound for Glory as TNA's Wrestlemania. Slammiversary could be argued to be just that based on the card.
3D vs. Steiners could be good or it could be bad which is true.
Agreed on those accounts.
