like TNA is wasting their talent? I was watching some old matches and it seemed like a lot of the guys were used and used in a good way. For a few years now it seems like tna isnt using any of their wrestlers or using them in a good way. There are so amny good wrestlers and none of them are ever featured. For example the x division used to be the highlight of tna and now its bearly ever used and the Ultimate x used to be an exciting event now theyre pointless and boring. Do you guys feel the same too?

How can you make an Ultimate X exciting though?
- Cutters off the tables. - Styles Clashes while hanging from the cables. - Moonsault off the tables - Leg drop from the trussle to the cables. - Daniels/Suicide almost dying.
Nobody can make that exciting again. The same thing goes with the X-Division.
But, no, no I agree I think the talent that are being used are being used great.

I fully agree and thank you so much for stating this. TNA is really bothering me with the HORRID Jersey Shore. i have no clue what happens on that TV show (J.S) because it is a stereo type and a spit in the face to NJ. OJ is also a space, as well as hogan (and I used to be a huge Hulkamaniac but now it's ridiculous. TNA should use: Kurt Angle RVD AJ Samoa Joe The Pope Amazing Red Machine GUns Beer Money Kazarian Matt Morgan Nigel McGuiness Re Pair the British Invasion Ink Inc (let Jesse go to the indys to polish his abilities and put Jeff Hardy with Shannon to have a more larger chemistry and get that team over) Mr. Anderson Brian Kendrick The Young Bucks Hernandez Kiyoshi Sabu Rhino Steven Richards (X Division) Abyss (AND USE THEM THE RIGHT WAY!!! NOT HOW THEY ARE BEING USED NOW) Robbie E, Bischoff, Jarrett, Hogan, OJ, Rob Terry, Eric Young, Ric Flair, Raven, Tommy Dreamer, Team 3D, Foley need to go away/respectfully retire so their legacies don't turn out to be a joke.

I think everyone's been very upset byt this very issue for a long time, but as SG said, the X Division has been limited to gimmick matches like Ultimate X which is a redundant match type these days.
Which is why everyone calls the X Division wrestlers "Spot Monkeys" or what have you, it's because they aren't allowed to go out there and just put on a clinic like they used to. The X Division should be the crown jewel in TNA right now but Hogan and Bischoff (neither of whom have been relevant since the late nineties) seem to know what 2010 wrestling fans want (despite running what could have been the biggest business in wrestling history into the ground with the same attitude).
If you look at WCW, the cruiserweight was so popular it demanded it's own tag team title (much like the KO division in TNA which, again, Hogan and Bischoff have dismantled because they don't value it) and the fans were mad for it, but the most they got were opening matches on PPVs where the commentators would just spend the enitre time talking about the nWo or a ten minute match on Thunder where the same thing would happen.
The problem is, Hogan and Bischoff don't understand that wrestling can be innovative in traditional context. It's supposed to be about NO LIMITS but they couldn't be any more restricted right now.
I look at people like Robert Roode (who is doing great in Beer Money), The Pope and Wolfe and I think "I can imagine you with the world title" and yet all of them are wrapped up in stories that will only take them so far. And then I think "Well, I'd much rather see them pace themselves and draw out their rise rather than peak too soon and have nothing left to do without taking a step down."
But of course then there's a group of people who are outright shat on. I'm talking about Daniels in the tail end of his TNA run, I'm talking about Taylor Wilde who was the top KO in the company and should be feuding with Mickie right now over who's the best in the world.
But I suppose some things never change.

Yeah so many great wrestlers underated like amazing red - this guy is more PHENOMENAL than AJ Styles I find eric young more and more entertaining per week, but he's relegated to xplosion
I really enjoy the x-division, but there's too much deadweight on the roster get rid of them, and get sonjay dutt, petey williams and daniels back, hell even bring shark boy back, and now we're talking

The Knockouts are being wasted like ! Where is Hamada and Taylor? They are tag champs and haven't been seen in a month, Daffney and Sarita have made 3 appearances between them in the last 3 months. I am really tired of TBP week in, week out especially since they are passable in the ring and one doesn't even belong in the business.

I thought they were going to push Jay Lethal as well back when he was doing his Flair fued, it seemed they were starting to use him more. Now you hardly see him on TV. He is really misused in my opinion. As are Wolfe and Magnus.

TNA has been wasting their talent ever since they brought Hogan, Bischoff, RVD, and Hardy in.
AJ Styles should be the main face of the company, not RVD or Hardy. RVD is over the hill and just isn't what he use to be. Hardy has always been overrated, yet he is given the title. He only appeals to young kids, yet TNA is trying to appeal to an older crowd. AJ is PHENOMINAL and had a great heel run w/ Flair going until RVD and Hardy took the main spots away. It's been hard for me to watch AJ play second fiddle to these guys when TNA is "The house that Styles Built." Some people say he can't draw, but he was getting better and better as his title run was progressing, and then all of a sudden he looses to RVD out of no where.
Beer Money and the Machine Guns were putting on 4-5 star matches and were making tag wrestling relevent again, but Beer Money barley does anything anymore besides play backround characters in Fortune. The Machine Guns are tag champs, yet they've barely been on TV the last few weeks.
Abyss has been crap for about the last 3 years. Ever since he lost James Mitchell as a manager, started to talk, and got out of shape, he has been a waste of space on the roster imo. He isn't the monster I use to love back during 2005 and 2006. Not sure why Hogan and Bischoff want to push him so much when he just seems lazy in the ring compared to his old self.
I don't even want to start w/ Samoa Joe. He has literally been doing next to nothing since Hogan and Bischoff showed up. Besides for one quick title shot he has been wasting away in the mid-card.
The Pope was getting pretty popular for a while until his push was stalled w/ Hogan and Bischoff. Anderson was entertaining for a while to, and has all the tools to lead the company, yet is held back by RVD and Hardy hogging the spot light.
When Hardy and RVD first came to TNA, they should have been used to elevate TNA's own home grown talent, not burry them. AJ getting clean wins over them would have done wonders for him and risen his credibility. Instead, he has been stuck in the mid-card playing second fiddle to them all year. They killed off all the momentum AJ had as a main eventer and he has to build his credibility up once again.
