www.talkimpact.com/new_temp/index.php?showtopic=5393&st=0I'm sending out a message to any and all TRUE TNA fans around here. What I mean by true TNA fans are the people that were attracted to the company and enjoyed it over the years and are currently unhappy with it's current direction. The spoilers for this week drive home, TNA has lost it's mind. This is one of the worst periods for wrestling ever. Why? Wrestling is being investigated by Congress. TNA is not helping itself by hiring Pacman Jones, and showing an abusive wrestler husband and father on TV (even if it was just a storyline it was a bad idea). TNA is NOT pushing the people that need it. The product now closely resembles WCW at it's worst points. Pacman Jones, a scum bag of scum bags who CANNOT EVEN WRESTLE BY LAW is coming in and getting pushed! Samoa Joe, do you guys honestly believe he will be in the main event at BFG at this point? The old guys are NOT putting the young guys over. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are jobbing on PPV and Xplosion and doing jack. The XXX reunion is a failure. Christopher Daniels main event push was an abortion. I'm going to post about my feelings on the TNA MySpace.com talk box until they block me. I don't care. I want TNA to change for the better, I want them to grow and become a competitor. They don't get it. They keep making stupid mistakes. If DIXIE CARTER truly believes the acquisition of Jones was a success than she is a completely naive and incompetent woman that knows nothing about the wrestling business or putting on a strong wrestling product. I'm not done with TNA. I'm not going to stop until the company I used to admire so much hears what we have to say loud and clear. Enough is enough, and it's time for a change.

That pretty much sums up how I feel as well. Everything I loved about TNA has been pushed to the back burner in favor of the same crap we have been getting from the WWE for years. Until the product gets back to where it was in 2005 and 2006 I will stick to reading the spoilers.

Dixie Carter has NOTHING to do with Pacman. It's all Jeff Jarrett.

Or you can post how disappointed you are here and on the MySpace comment box, which I implore anyone who is disappointed and has a myspace account to do. What can they be planning? My best guess is Jarrett vs. Angle vs. Sting at Bound For Glory. Dixie Carter has NOTHING to do with Pacman. It's all Jeff Jarrett. Dixie Carter has publically talked about it and given it her full approval. THE BUCK STOPS WITH HER. So don't tell me she has nothing to do with it. Publically she's had PLENTY to say about it. If she truly doesn't like than she should've turned Jarrett down. According to Konnan, Dixie Carter constantly complains about Jarrett but never does a damn thing about it. Dixie Carter is a weak-willed woman clearly to not put her foot down when it is sorely needed. |

Mainstream wrestling in general sucks right now.
There is literally nothing we can do. This boycott might get a good 100 people to turn off their televisions, but the majority will still watch it no matter how bad it is.

I agree for the most part. The booking is really terrible compared to a year ago and the 'Pacman' garbage is just awful and did nothing for last weeks rating.
It's Russo. I was just watching a new Nash shoot interview the other day, and when he was asked about Russo in WCW, Nash said he got along with him and he still does since he is working for him(meaning Russo's IS booking).

You fail to realize that of the 1-1.2 million viewers every week that TNA gets, only a FRACTION of that amount buys the PPV's. What if that fraction would drop even lower? |

Oh yeah.. because there is no way on gods green earth that Jeff Jarrett & Dutch Mantel isn't writing the crap to. |

I'm very disappointed in TNA. If an alternative to WWE is where a suspended football player gets a push, MCMGs get crapon, Angle holds EVERY TITLE, and they just drop angles without an explanation, what a bad alternative. WWE at least can drop an angle with an angle. People say WWE is bad, at least they know what they're doing. TNA appears to have the booking of an indy promotion ran booked by 5th graders. It's pissing me off. I thought for awhiile they were getting their craptogether, but no. Like TNA always does, it lets me down.

I'm sure it's everyone. But ultimately it's also the CLUELESS Dixie Carter as well. Dixie Carter has not enabled virtually any lasting and progressive changes in TNA. They change directions and their identity every month. Once again, I implore you guys, even if it's short to post your discontent on the myspace page comment box for TNA: profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=143123353 |

I agree with you completely, bro. TNA is crapright now. I just don't think this boycott is going to work. TNA doesn't even run their MySpace, so doing that is pointless. I see it working short term, but long term, the boycott will not work. |

Yeah, you know this for a fact? You act like you know that for a fact but you don't. You're not behind the scenes in TNA & noone knows that TRULEY happens behind the scenes.

I see it working short term, but long term, the boycott will not work. Stop being naive like Dixie Carter. They aren't going to rise. They dropped over HALF for Joe/Angle II and III after they blew their load on the first match. The point is, everything TNA does they do for a short-term fix and all it does is DAMAGE them in the long-term. SodaGuy, you act like Dixie Carter is some innocent bystander that has nothing to do with the problems and nothing to do with Pacman Jones. Who do you think signs Jones  ing paycheck?! It AIN'T JEFF JARRETT. Dixie Carter enables Jarrett to cause all the problems he does. |

It AIN'T JEFF JARRETT. Dixie Carter enables Jarrett to cause all the problems he does. I have no problem at all with Kurt Angle being pushed. But when your taking the spots of other TNA wrestlers, that's a bad thing. Samoa Joe should of won the title at Bound for Glory 2006. Christopher Daniels should be main eventing pay-per-views. Triple X, MCMG, and LAX should be the MAIN tag teams. But of course, TNA doesn't agree with it. So I agree with you on that. But what I'm trying to say is...I don't think TNA is going to pay attention to a little boycott. Do I hope it works? Yes. Do I think it'll work? Doubtful. TNA will still book Angle/Sting/Jarrett or some combination of that for Bound for Glory, and I wouldn't be surprised if Joe is jobbing to Christian at BFG. |

I have no problem at all with Kurt Angle being pushed. It's not Angle's push totally. It's how they've executed it and neglected Joe over the course of it. You can still push someone without ruining the other guy like TNA has Joe. You seem to agree with me on everything, but you still support TNA and say that the PPV's are good. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I simply care more about the future of TNA than TNA does itself. Well you know, that's why we are PISSED OFF and BOYCOTTING the product. |

I think what is going to ruin TNA is the fact that the X Division title is getting unified with the World Title
The X Division is what made me think TNA was different

I enjoyed my time at Hard Justice. Am I biased because I attended? Maybe. I'm not going to stop going to the pay-per-views, but I will participate in your boycott. It's not so much I go to enjoy, I go to sit back, relax, and watch some good wrestling (which is usually 1-2 matches per show). But that's just my opinion. I will boycott No Surrender though and I will not attend. The show is going to be horrible and I won't even order it. Bound for Glory...I won't be attending either but I'll have to see the card before I order. If the main event is Angle/Sting or Angle/Jarrett, I won't order. |
