I'm very disappointed in TNA. If an alternative to WWE is where a suspended football player gets a push, MCMGs get **** on, 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 **** together, but no. Like TNA always does, it lets me down. I totally agree TNA should have never signed PACMAN why waste the money on someone who has no wrestling talent.....there shows have been bad...and they should have never put all the titles on one guy |

If it makes no difference and we are wrong, then we are wrong. All of you can laugh and say hahaha I told you say. We are doing this because we want TNA to change and we think TNA can be a lot better. They've lost all direction and they are KILLING their own company. The Jones angle is crap. The man can't even wrestle BY LAW and they are PUSHING this guy as a top guy. Ridiculous. The man is a scum bag. After the hype of his first appearance, ratings were DOWN from the week before.  I'm not on this boycott cause I think it will work, I'm on it becasue I want to express my disdain for what we are about to witness in the next two weeks. It's not utterly bad but it's nonsensical and horrible booking coming off a ppv. I want the product to succeed but I cant sit and watch a train wreck, I did it with WCw and am not in the mood to do it again. I encourage everyone to check the spoilers then decide for yourself if you wanna subject yourself to perhaps the worst booking ever(no not quite david arquette booking, but close)...Point blank...it's just dumb and shouldnt even be shown. |

I agree with all of what you have said, but TNA has been bad pretty much ever since Raven lost the NWA title, in my opinion. Everyone thinks Joe is the next guy, but look at how many times TNA dropped the ball with him. TNA has also ALWAYS been jumbled and random. They just think **** up and ignore whatever has happened in the past.  it. Just let them rot. I don't want them to rot like WCW. I want them to change for the better. Some of my favorite workers are in TNA. I can't watch them anywhere else now because TNA pulled them from ROH and PWG. So I want them to get showcased better there like they USED TO. |

Vileone, Ill give you props. You're standing up for something you dont like. Most people dont do that. You dont know how annoying it is to hear people piss and whine on the WWE board about how they dont like this about Raw or they dont like this about Smackdown yet every Monday and Friday they still tune in. I honestly feel that the state of pro-wrestling is down right now. I am a true fan though, through the good times and the bad i still tune in to watch it. Its been apart of my life for 24 years. I was never a big fan of TNA (simply because of a ring that has more then 4 sides) but as a fan of wrestling i would still tune in. The funny thing im finding about some of yoru complaints is it seems thats exactly what WWE fans have been sayin all along why they dont like TNA.
TNA pushes former WWE Mid-carders (Christian, Test, Rhyno, Raven) and old WWF/WCW Has beens (Angle, Nash, Sting, Jarrett)
TNAs storylines if not pointless are just completely dropped for no reason. WWE fans have been stating this since TNA aired on Spike.
"Future Stars" and TNA home grown guys who have more talent are useless in TNA. Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels for example are just being used sidekicks and jobbers for former WWE Talent.
I hope you get back the product you like. I myself will watch TNA, WWE no matter just because its wrestling and its better, in my opinion then world poker tour which is on 45 different channels 24hrs a day

I remember when I used to love TNA in 2004 and 2005, but it's just turned into WCW in a six-sided ring.

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. i feel that way as well . Bout time someone posted a thread like this |

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. well said. i long for nashville again  |

Matt Bentley appeared on BETWEEN THE ROPES tonight and echoed the exact same sentiments as many of us.
He's gone from TNA now, and he basically confirmed a lot of the rumors we already knew.
Pacman Jones is being paid HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, and the man CANNOT EVEN WRESTLE BY LAW! No one can hit him. He can hit no one. Ridiculous crap.
Bentley also talked about how the big names haven't made a difference, but people like Jarrett won't hear it.

It means the powers that be see nothing wrong with the product and are gonna continue...WCW anyone? |

Or they could've simply re-energized the GREAT team that was Bentley and Kazarian. They failed to do that.
They did jack crap with Serotonin as well.
All this lack of direction is why we are boycotting TNA.

Yeah TNA really is sucking lately. I still watch it weekly because some of my favorite wrestlers are there, plus I've been watching it since the weekly ppv days. I want to continue watching it, but it's going in a bad direction. They have so much dead weight on their roster. The only ex-WWE contributers have been Christian and Angle. The rest have done nothing. Guys like 3D and VKM are wasting space. Someone like Rhino gave TNA a minor-league appearance when he won the title at BFG. Their booking is beyond stupid.
They have really only pushed two guys extremely well in the history of the company. That being AJ Styles and Abyss. Joe should have won the title about a year ago. Now he's had his chances and failed in all of them. Daniels could have gotten a main event push, but Sting killed that off in about 7 minutes. Monty Brown should have been world champion, and look where he is now. And when someone like Robert Roode comes along now, TNA doesn't do anything with them.

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

Abyss was never pushed that well.
He got a world title run FINALLY after years of patience, but they crapped out on it big time.
Angle really just wanted to go to a place where he'd be the biggest fish in a small pond. TNA submitted to his every whim.
TNA submitting everything to the established stars is hurting their company. Look at the ratings. Look at the buyrates. THEY ARE NOT CHANGING.

Exactly, it's not like they're helping bringing in viewers, or ratings. It's a waste of time.
