It's really only about one reason. When I watch I feel how I should about wrestling again. I feel like anything can happen and they will try to go all out every night. Or as if things haven't been planned for 3 months ahead of time.
But, it still is a little lame sometimes. Like the size of the crowd in Vegas, that was laughable in the opening match for me. I know TNA is still up and coming, but they do overhype some things at times.
Also, the main eventers are a bit washed up, I still think the storyline and purpose of them being there feels a little historic.
I'm not saying I like WWE better or I like TNA better, I kinda just like pro wrestling in general. But, TNA makes me feel like it's the 90's again for one reason.. it doesn't feel like the priorities are all mixed up and the product reminds me of how I looked at wrestling when I was younger.
WWE is good too because it has that big leagues feel where the big moments really matter. WWE's upside is huge, but it's downside is even bigger at times. TNA seems to just be well balanced and on the verge of breaking out in another year or 2.

I can't get into TNA for the life of me. I've tried many a time sitting down and tell myself to watch the entire show... but I grow way too bored. The commentary is awful to listen to, which is a big turn off.
Mainstream wrestling right now is a big stinker.

What do you mean during the opening match?

When I first started watching the show, the first match, and noticed how small the crowd was for this epic event

It was sold out - it was only a 1,000 seated venue.  |

Only 1,000? WEC makes it look so much bigger tbh

It might be a little more than 1,000 - I was just going by what I read. It can't be more than 2,000 tbh.

2000 sounds about right...cuz that place is pretty packed for some WEC cards

Well, if it really is 2,000 (and that's how TNA set up it) that's a good sucess for their first run in Vegas.

I enjoy TNA greatly,..lately WWE just turns me away.... I'm not sure why.. but I was always a bigger WCW fan myself and TNA just kinda feels like it to me I guess.

I was at the Vegas show. I am a huge TNA fan, so not bad mouthing them. But NO WAY was there over 1,000 people there. I heard the arena only sits 650 then they have standing room only. I even got my tickets for free the night before for attending the Beautiful People autograph signing. So I can't see them making a huge profit that night.

i'll admit i've not watched much wrestling an over month. notin exciting in eaither brand but TNA has captured my interest with the Mafia angle surprisingly so i'll mkae sure to keep up on it this thursday. If they can strike a balance with ggod storylines all around and not make things so off the cuff, they may indeed be in for abreak out. But TNA's been down this road before

I love both WWE and TNA, but to be honest, TNA awlays lures me in more because of the Variety it has at times, seriously theres always different people going for the Titles instead of having 3-4 Months of the same matches for the belt over and over again, TNA's In-Ring wrestling is just better overall to be honest, WWE really has watered down over the past years but they manage to pull of some great matches, but on a Card overall TNA is a bit more enjoyable. Im really digging this New Breed vs Veterans fued and its finally giving other wrestlers some air time.
But on the Downside,
The Commentary is annoying, they really need to just be quiet at points and let whatevers happening speak for itself, it really feels like the Announcers talk every second about something thats happening in the ring. TNA's X-Division ( Which hey, lets face it is what got alot of people interested in TNA in the first place ) is on a low priorty and was no-where as great as it was in 2005 where you'd see great talent go at it with high quality stuff, I really think at the moment TNA's gone into cruise control and has ditched the whole "League" feel to it in favor of storylines.
They're also going overboard with the Gimmicks, I really hate the Prince Justice Brotherhood its stupid and makes TNA look embarrasing to watch at times, they seem to go overboard with some of the matches and have really stupid Match names at times " Tag-Team Gauntlet Text Off?? " Seriously, keep it nice and simple guys.
