People would point at Jarrett being World Champion then. But it was done for a couple reasons from 2002 to 2006. The NWA was one who had to approve title switches. This would leave TNA in a spot til they established their own championship years later.

Then you had Shamrock up and leave. So with money issues TNA did the territory idea awhile. You knew Jeff Jarrett Ala Nick Bockwinkel would never leave the company. So he became the safe heel to book there awhile. (And let's be honest he was good at being a heel champion)

Talent wise TNA had young roster from 2002. AJ got a run in 2003 and many felt then it wasn't good or he was ready. Raven should have gotten a run then for sure. Abyss wasn't ready.

Once the company for sure had money coming in from Spike TV they were able to do 3 things. 1 sign bigger names and move on from NWA. And Jarrett went to a backstage role more as we saw.
yeah, even with all the criticism thrown their way, Impact toughed it out and soldiered on throughout the years. Glad for them that their show is reaching 1000 episodes this September
