I even want Ryback to appear in TNA eventually. Him vs. Lashley would be pretty neat to see with how both men are big and who could move who in a battle of strengths kind of match.

It's almost comical to me now a days that people just want TNA to fail. As its been stated 10k times in the past, its good for this business. They are the only other company that really has a fairly mainstream TV deal (besides LU). But, I mean they need time to build back up. Their roster was fairly depleted. Having WWE guys come that weren't getting to shine their is a good thing for both parties.

This "crap all over TNA because it's TNA" stuff is getting old now, guys. Let me ask you a question - when was the last time you actually watched TNA? This, it's tiresome. Funny how everyone seems that crap on wrestler there but are so in love now with Styles, Roode and Samoa Joe |

It's not that most want TNA to fail. It's just that we don't think TNA is any good, nor do we see it changing for the better anytime soon.
Guys like Roode, Styles, Joe, etc. were the reason most people still watched Impact. Once they left, there hasn't been much reason to continue.
EC3, Mike Bennett, The Wolves and Trevor Lee are the only names that come to mind that I find worth watching for anymore.

Besides guys like Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, a lot of people don't care to watch The Ascension, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel, and guys like that. You just gotta take the good with the bad, and the bad with the good. Does TNA have a lot of stuff that stinks?? Sure! But so does WWE. Does WWE have a lot of stuff that is awesome?? Sure! But so does TNA. |

Wait, so he left WWE because he felt he wasnt being used properly (from my understanding) and is going to go to a company that is notorious for not using talent properly?
Oook!

He's a former WWE talent. He'll be pushed to the moon from the get go. Anything is better than Lashley and Galloway, though. |

EC3, Mike Bennett, The Wolves and Trevor Lee are the only names that come to mind that I find worth watching for anymore. I'll agree. I've watched the last two shows and really found nothing enjoyable about Tna. I think the hardy stuff is unique but it's too goofy to take seriously. Decay, we've seen dark groups like this before that act crazy with no purpose for it other than to just be weird. I liked what they were doing with rosemary and bram then they dropped that. It's just that maybe the product needs time but I find not one person on the roster interesting to watch. Lashley Is as stale as month old bread, ec3 talks like he's reading from a script and Bennett is stuck with that stupid title...miracle which is as about as worthless as that dumb haircut of his. Week after week the title scene is changing between lashley, Bennett, drew, ec3. Now you throw the overrated Rex in and it's even more convoluted. You need strong champions on every level then good storylines and character development to build in those divisions. Stuff is clustered and there's not enough interesting characters to carry the roster. He X division has been good but they've fubar'd that and the women's division so many times, I can't even bother with getting interested. People get excited about wrestlers jumping from Tna to WWE because they know they're gonna at least get a chance to be properly developed as a character without being jerked around week in and week out. There was a time I preferred Tna over WWE, not anymore. Cody Rhodes is a good wrestler but he's not someone I'm gonna look at and say, ok Tna can elevate this guy to the next level. They'll put a world title on him that no one respects anymore and do nothing with him but try to get a run from his name recognition and his previous fame in Wwe. I try to find worthwhile stuff in Tna to watch but it's very difficult. |

I'd rather he went to Lucha Underground but that's just me.
I like the direction TNA is heading but they're in a hole so deep I'm not sure they'll ever dig out.

Poor Cody. I hope not. That's career suicide. *Looks at Derrick Bateman, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre* To be fair, Lashley committed career suicide in 2008. Honestly, the only thing I care about happening in TNA are the Hardyz (something I didn't expect to say passed the age of 13). I like EC3 and Sandow, but their stories seem uninteresting at the moment. |

Deskjet gets where I'm coming from.
TNA doesn't mean anything anymore. Being the TNA World Heavyweight Champion is as meaningful as being champion of a local independent promotion. Nobody knows and nobody cares.
I'd go as far to say that the last name to be World Champion and turn heads in the wrestling community... was Austin Aries beating Bobby Roode. Because it was what people wanted. Look at the Champions since then...

Because it was what people wanted. Look at the Champions since then... Bully Ray was a good TNA World Champion and that happened after the Aries/Roode match. Even Chris Sabin got a shot to be TNA World Champion - only for a month. But the guy deserved it and I think fans were happy about it. If TNA would have just not brought in Hogan and his cronies back in 2010, I think TNA would be looked upon right now as great still, and fans would really enjoy it. Maybe even some guys wouldn't have left TNA. But we will never know. |

Cody Rhodes won't be in TNA but Cody Runnels could very well be. Read that the WWE is stopping him from using the "Rhodes" name. He only used that in the WWE so it belongs to them. "Dusty Rhodes" belonged to his father. Vince should let Cody keep the name to show respect to Dusty, you know since NXT would have been nothing with out The Dream. But I can see Vince being bitter and letting Cody suffer.

Good for him. And for TNA, it's still not enough to make me watch weekly.

Yeah I heard about Cody not being able to use Rhodes on the Taz Show. Sucks, but it's a business and it's not always the popular decision. I see why WWE would stop him.
