I cant belive what im reading to defend TNA is one thing but to defend Russo is another F the attiude era
That was 10years ago it had its moments it worked because it was different russo is living off past glory its time for some new blood wouldnt u like to write for TNA or are u just happy how everything is going Xdivision= dead, AJ= dumb ,JOE= stale Daniels= buried, Senshi= gone Harris =gone LAX= no direction, Angle= coward Abyss= rip off Kane storyline.
Just like a washed up player in any sport or a coach that isnt winning any more they dont care about what u did in the past if u F'N up they gonna get rid of you no one stays good forever.
Whats its going to take for one of u TNA lovers to admit there F'N up i mean u guys post are start to scare me, Are yall defending tna no matter what just to stand your ground If so I get it u love it, but enough is enough i loved WCW but when they F'D up i admitted it .
One more thing F the WWE this isnt about loving them so stop trying to compare TNA to them back in 05 06 money wise NEVER [Wrestle Mania23 gross 55 million in one night] wrestling wise hell yes but now TNA cant get that right WWE isnt exclusive to entertainment part of wrestling but when russo trys it for other companys it makes them look a watered down attitude era.

Everyone on TNA's roster has a spot? Tell that to LAX and Senshi before he left. Same with Chris Harris. And just because people have a spot doesn't mean it's a good spot. Samoa Joe is bitching about TNA. AJ Styles looks like an idiot when he should be main eventing, Daniels is using a comedy gimmick when he should be main eventing. Abyss doesn't even look like a monster anymore. Sonjay Dutt is a damn guru. Kurt Angles matches are always the same. Good match until they kick out of each others finishers, ref bump, "ultimate swerve", 1 2 3 Angle wins. Mike Tenay and Don West sell the match like it's the greatest thing they ever seen. LAX will have there time,and they have. Again, i'm not gonna argue over likes dislikes. as cliche as it sounds, seriously just dont watch it...thats what I do with smackdown |

Well, i'm not going to keep trying to convince people of my perspective, because it aint gonna happen. everyone see thi ngs differntly so i will just hold to that. thus inmo I like TNA, at least this last month anyway. I watched RAW last night and I really tried to watch it, but maybe it's me, but long drawn out match that dont really have a purpose...Hardy/HBK do nothing for me...now the match itself was the best of the night but again I dont get why it had to be close to 30 minutes long when there was absolutely nothing at stake...they coulda at least made it for an EC position. Let me also add, it was NOT the lenght of the match that made it good for me, but rather the quality...HBK and Hardy put on a hell of a match and had good back and forth quality wrestling. contrastly, JBL vs Jericho was flat out boring, only the history made it intriguing. that said, I think, although shorter, TNA delivers with quality matches. So purpose.l or not, with the short time, at least the matches are quality. Moreover, TNA's offers varierty. So what if SB is being like SC, its different and it gets him noticed, same wth Machismo. Furthermore it gets these guys air time, something people on here always complain about. while some of TNA's decisions havent always been the smartest, I applaud their attempt for trying...I think they need to do that to see exactly what works...obviously they've been doing something right because ratinging have gone up. All of TNA's stars are at least involved in some meaningful storyline...what Kendrick doing? what's Kane doing? what's Kenny dykstra doing? What about DeUce and Domino, etc? All on roster taking up space and jobbing about or in no or meaningless storylines, all I mite add which are former champions. When I turn on TNA I feel like I'm getting my full moneys worth, not a bunch of fillers till the main event comes. These are some of the main reasons I look forward to TNA. Now back in NOV/DEC, I thought the company was floundering and the booking was crap, but as i said, i have enjoyed the product of late because of the aforementioned reasons. I watch both TNA and WWE, but I get more out of watching TNA then I do 5 hours of WWE programming, just my opinion, whether people like what's going on or not, I do, and I'll keep supporting it until the F it up again. you don't get why it had to be close to 30 minutes long ? it was a main event & a real wrestling match. real pro-wrestlimg matchs are suppose to go0 30 minutes not 5 minutes,not 10 minutes & not 15 minutes . title matches or matches that have something at stake are suppose to be able to go 60 minutes. it seems you have no patience. it seems you & most the new generation have no patience at all.you guys seem like a bunch people with a.d.d. who can't watch a long match like pro-wrestling is suppose to be done .TNA quit given real wrestling matches on tv a long time ago. only the main event of tna ppv comes close to 30 minutes. i miss the weekly ppvs of tna because they wrestled alot longer then that bull crap that they put on impact..fans like your are the reason pro-wrestling is being turned into a sped up spot fest,no ring psychology, flippy floppy moves that ain't real wrestling but gymnastics & mostly squash matches .pro-wrestling was never meant to be sped up or be a spot fest.pro-wrestling is wrestling . that means on the ground & grappling. if you want flippy flopy moves go watch gymnastics not pro-wrestling for it..as stonecold said less is more.when i am watching tna i fell like a watch not a wrestling program anymore but a stupid ass sitcom.they even start impact out like a stupid sitcom. wrestling does not have titles at the begin of there show. also any match that goes at 100 mph like alot of tna impacts match has no ring psychology & they over no sell . also those moves like the headlock that you complain about are a big part of ring psychology.itseems most of you guys hate ring psychology all together. when you hit with a a good wrestling move you should be down for aleast 10 seconds not right back up after it & no selling it like most do on impact.you guys seem to have no idea what pro--wrestling is & how is works in the ring . go to a real pro-wrestling school like dory funks or harley races & find out how to do right like i did from the great harley race when i was in WLW. |

Parody isn't creative, and it isn't a great way to try to get someone over. How soon until we get Sonjay Dutt as Hacksaw Sonjay Duttgan? Or AJ Styles acting like Superstar Billy Graham? Or Lance Hoyt as "Hollywood" Hoyt Hogan? TNA-We're so much better than WWE even though we are modeling our roster and storylines after stuff WWE did in the 90's. |

Again look at Machismos merchandise sales. And parody doesnt half to be creative but its effective and entertaining, just ask people on a tv show that's been around for almost 30 years....ummmmm saturday night live. I think we have serious discrepency between people stuck in the past and people who are living in the here and now |

If old school is so great and is in control of everything then why during the highest periods of wrestling was there no resemblence to old school. It was more about entertainment and storylines. TNA's had their highest ratings in their existence . Even when they were on FSN which was in more home becasue it was a fox affiliate...so please again, get yourself updated. |

I see nothing wrong with the show. You all complain that you want the attitude era back in the E, and then come on this board and bash TNA. You're pathetic. You have to bitch about every little thing, and will never be happy. You want characters, yet get pissed when you see guys like Abyss, Black Reign, RelliK, Sharkboy, and others. You want good wrestling, yet still bitch, EVEN THOUGH, every week we see great matches from the likes of LAX, AJ, Angle, Cage, Machismo, hell, even Team 3D has gotten a little better of the last few months. You bitch about Alex Shelley being under pushed. THE MAN IS IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST FEUDS IN WRESTLING. You complain about "WWE Rejects" coming to TNA and stealing the spotlight. But, lets take a look back in time shall we? Lets look at WCW, ECW, and WWF.. They were always taking stars from each other, and no one complained then, did they? When Kevin Nash and Scott Hall went to WCW did you all sit behind your keyboards and cry about it? No, instead you tuned into WCW and accepted it. What about when Vince bought ECW, and all the stars came to the E? You all marked out for RVD. You all marked out when Taz came to the E. The point is, TNA is as good as its going to get. Theres nothing you can do except accept it and watch it, or get over it and watch something else. AND, as bad as TNA is right now, its still 20x better than any WWE brand right now. So, in other words. Stop Bitching. you really think TNA is still 20x better than any WWE brand then your are crazy . smackdown & ecw are both better then TNA. ECW & smackdown give you real wrestling matches every week compared to impact . ECW is 10x better then TNA & it is 1 hour . i am tna original & the product sucks compared to the 1st year.smackdown also put longer & better matches then tna impact . i want to see real pro-wrestling not sped up high spot fest matches tna does on impact impact is nothing but a promo show anymore & sitcom.tna originals like me who paid for every wed ppv since the first show have every right to bitch because without tna originals like me their would be no tna. REEEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYY NOW? Well TNA ORIGINALS like ME, cant stand to hear you little cry babies bitch because you want to see something different. You say Smackdown has WRESTLING? what the are you smoking? Batista, Khali, Mark Henry, Big Daddy V... All reasons why your statement is thrown right out the window. And you say that you have every right to bitch just because you spent a whopping 10 bucks a week on something you enjoy? You're a ing moron. All you have to do is change it to something else. There are plenty of other shows on during Impact, but im sure you'll just bitch about those too, wont you little baby? Its "fans" like you that give the good FANS a bad name. Something doesnt go your way, you go and throw a temper tantrum, and hide behind your keyboard, bitching up a storm, THINKING you're making a point, when all you're doing is making yourself look like an ass. |

no it's p[eople defending tna despite their total lack of direction that gives wrestling fans a bad name. it's people who say "i spit on old school wrestling" that give wrestling fans a bad name.
try telling flair and steamboat their hour long classics suck.
the thing with tna is, they don't listen to their fans, that's why lax haven't done crapfor months, that's why the armstrongs got a damn tna tag title shot whilst lax were facing rave and hoyt on pre-shows and xplosion. tna in the early years out did tna today in every way, tna in 2005 out did everything tna does today.
the storylines today have no direction, have no purpose and are just down right stupid. i mean aj and karen getting "married" at a wedding vow renewal ceremony ... on a wrestling show?!?! that's buys right there.
rhino appearing at a ppv, cut a promo or lack there of telling us to watch impact. that's ass backwards booking, the point of the tv show is to get us to buy/watch the ppv's not the other way around. it's stupid, illogical and really doesn't have an point. the people that bought the ppv likely watch tna every week anyways. you need to be enticing new viewers to buy a ppv to get those abysmal buy rates up.
and Lewpac you're the one making yourself look like an ass by having a vkm av and defending a dreadful product. and how can you use the whole "hide behind a keyboard" crapwhen you're doing the exact same thing, it's a pointless insult. much like most of tna's angles and gimmicks.

It just blows me away how so many people dislike TNA but continue to watch it every week. Makes me seriously wonder what indeed some of you do watch the product for.
oh and for the record. I pulled out some old TNA tapes today..2005 to be exact and it's far from better than it is today. Today's TNA's characters are much more recognizable making the product more marketable. I also recall during 2003-2005 all people did was bitch about how Jeff Jarret won the title all the time...now people want him back. Like I've said time and again. no one will ever be completely happy. You gotta take the good with the bad and find something good instead of always something bad. If some of you really think TNA was better off in 03, 04, 05 then they are now, then I really question if you care that much about the product you say you care about. There's been gimmicks all thourgh TNA so nothings new(king of the mOuntain), Hard 10 match etc. And what did people do then...Bitch about it. There were ex wrestlers coming to TNA then...DDP, Disco, Hall, Nash..and what did people do...Bitch about it. While I'm on the subjetc, I just watched the 4 way x divsion match...guess how long it lasted? 6 and 1/2 minutes...for those of you that bitch about the length of match.
Bottom line, TNA offers the same thing they offered 5 years ago but with more recognition and marketability. The company is trying to be on level with WWE, whether the indy nut busters wanna believe it or not, WWE is the standard on the Global market and I cant fault TNA for trying everything they can to obtain that. So again, stop watching it if you dont like it becasue your arguments and griping arent gonna change a damn thing!

If you think TNA is the same now then in was in 2005 your thinking just like the fools who book this garbage now thus why nothing changes and rating and buyrates are the same or lower.
- TNA had much better wrestling and feuds which people gave a shit.
- The Wrestlers people gave a crapabout weren't booked like fools and every impact wasn't packed with backstage lame comedy.
- The Roster albeit not as star studded were def better workers in the ring thus better matches regardless of who was in it
- The X- Division was actually attracting viewers because they weren't booked like fools but like athletes.
- PPV buyrates were on the rise unlike now where they don't improve but manage to get lower or stay the same despite TNA throwing everything out there.
The only thing I hate about then was Jarrett as the World Champion and anything to do with him, beside that TNA wasn't bad and 1000x better than now..

I also recall during 2003-2005 all people did was bitch about how Jeff Jarret won the title all the time...now people want him back. Like I've said time and again. no one will ever be completely happy. You gotta take the good with the bad and find something good instead of always something bad. If some of you really think TNA was better off in 03, 04, 05 then they are now, then I really question if you care that much about the product you say you care about. There's been gimmicks all thourgh TNA so nothings new(king of the mOuntain), Hard 10 match etc. And what did people do then...Bitch about it. There were ex wrestlers coming to TNA then...DDP, Disco, Hall, Nash..and what did people do...Bitch about it. While I'm on the subjetc, I just watched the 4 way x divsion match...guess how long it lasted? 6 and 1/2 minutes...for those of you that bitch about the length of match. Bottom line, TNA offers the same thing they offered 5 years ago but with more recognition and marketability. The company is trying to be on level with WWE, whether the indy nut busters wanna believe it or not, WWE is the standard on the Global market and I cant fault TNA for trying everything they can to obtain that. So again, stop watching it if you dont like it becasue your arguments and griping arent gonna change a damn thing! Thank you. But, you gotta understand, these guys that want everything their way will continue to bitch, gripe, whine, and complain until there is no wrestling. If you want TNA to be the same as it was in the past, then they would go out of business in a heat beat. Without names, storylines, and characters, they dont have a show. No matter what Wrestling company it is. And dont throw the Indy bullcrapat me, because if they knew what they were doing, they wouldnt be Indy now would they? |

Agreed, back in 2005 when I started watching TNA I always thought " Whos that Guy? " sure they did a great performance in the Ring but most of the wrestlers had No Character whatsoever except for the Main Eventers, look at the Roster now and every Wrestler is recognizable, back in 2005 most guys didn't even speak on the Mic or would say some of the most dullest things you could hear. |
