This is just me nitpicking but I don't like the "TNA Original's" name used quite a lot. Mainly because Joe, Creed and Lethal and I think ODB are in the group. the "Young Lions" name that was brought up is good though, so as long as they use that more ofton.
Also, I think Sting has been in TNA longer than Samoa Joe, if you count his 2003 run.

The 3 times a year i watch TNA i do the same thing every time..point out stuff they took from wwe like "beer money" that basically jbl/acolytes rip off all in one and now this main event mafia crap....what is this? evolution with a black guy? the 5 horsemen? TNA is crap im sorry, and I'm not saying WWE is better but like they rely too heavliy on modifying storylines and gimmicks of the past...like black machismo...to this day I still don't get it.

How are Beer Money anything like APA? It's only James Storm who acts like the beer needed freak. Storm only uses it in various heel tactics to win a match. Main Event Mafia is more of WCW's Millionare's Club or what ever it was called, not Evolution. You don't get Black Machismo? Simple, TNA felt that Jay Lethal had great talent but lacked charisma, the Randy Savage impersanation's gave him a big boost in that department. To end this defense of TNA, all storylines/gimmicks are reused for the most part, you can't just say TNA is doing it. Evolution was just a modern day 4 Horsemen, Matt Striker was Shane Douglas. |

All I can sat is, the Main Event Mafia is one of the best factions/stables in wrestling history. Yeah, they arn't up there with DX, NWO, Evolution, or the Four Horsemen, but they have a ton of star power. BTW, I love the storyline. If it keeps going, it may become one of TNA's greatest feud ever.

I personally think calling a group involving AJ Styles and Samoa Joe [AJ started wrestling ten years ago, Joe, around that same area of time] the Young Lions is ridiculous. What's next, bringing in Jerry Lynn to join the Lions?

And toneboat, huh? The acolytes and beer money is no comparison. Jbl and farooq #1 were ministers for the undertaker that decided to open there own business drinking and beating people up. Other than drinking how can they even be compared? JBL's financial success was never mentioned during that time and if you want to equate him with Storm's cowboy role then who was farooq? the rich white dude in the group? |

I don't like the MEM. The fact that they go round wearing smart suits like Evolution doesn't work. Evolution were a mixed age but fresh, 'cool' group, and got away with it. Okay it's a big step in TNA, but the whole show is practically revolving around this mini War that's going on at the moment. I haven't got time for Sting, Nash, Booker T or Steiner tbh.

I'm enjoying the MEM storyline currently, interesting with how it is linking in to several storylines. Christian "leaving", Petey taking a beating from his former friend, MCMG's teasing a heel turn etc.

This angle is crucial to the future of the promotion. If done right everybody comes out looking good and TNA builds some new guys up and makes some stars, if done wrong then it could ruin the company and very much turn into WCW and end up outta of business

Personally I think they'll def give the young guys te rub. this is the only way it succeeds. As far as Evolution. they have to be the weakest of any group. It was HHH and two back ups and an old fart. Orton and batista reached there potential once they left the group. Furthermore it was the most blatnat rip off of the horsemen ever. Flair? Evolution...evolution of the 4? it was just lame. they were cool but dont compre to mem. |

Besides Lethal beat Kurt once for the X title, just fought sting for the World title. and look for a prospam with petey and scott soon |
