Old and new features

The PSP version roster is nearly identical to the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 roster except with the removal of Christian Cage, Senshi, and Christopher Daniels (who appears in Story Mode but is unplayable). The PSP also includes Mick Foley, Consequences Creed, Don West, Mike Tenay, Afro Thunder, and Petey Williams as well as a variety of jobbers created for Story Mode. However, even though Petey Williams, Mike Tenay and Curryman were all downloadable contents in the first TNA game, only Petey Williams and Mike Tenay are in the PSP version. Curryman is not in that version, possibly because Curryman was played by Christopher Daniels who had left the company, meaning that his character would have also been removed from this game. However, Curryman is in the DS version. The PSP version featured much of the original game match types such as

• Standard match (1 vs 1 with victory achieved by pinfall or submission within the ring),
• Tag team (2 vs 2 with victory achieved by pinfall or submission within the ring),
• Free for all (every man for himself with victory achieved by pinfall or submission within the ring),
• Ultimate X (1 vs 1 with victory achieved by unattaching the X from above the ring),
• Ultimate X free for all (1 vs 1 every man for himself with victory achieved by unattaching the X from above the ring),
• Submission ( 1 vs 1 with victory achieved by submission within the ring.),
• Falls count anywhere (falls count anywhere 1 vs 1 with victory achieved by pinfall or submission anywhere within the confines of the arena.),
• Falls count anywhere tag (falls count anywhere 2 vs 2 with victory achieved by pinfall or submission anywhere within the confines of the arena.)
