I'd agree, if Kurt Angle and Sting cannot boost TNA ratings, who besides Hulk Hogan can

I'm just glad Booker T is back. I hated King Booker from the start.

Ratings are a lot more complicated than you people are making them out to be. If a show is good one week, that doesn't mean that immediately the ratings are going to SPIKE and that will be that. The key to TNA's success is consistency, and if you ask me, they're beginning to hit a stride where they're putting on good matches and having some good stories as well. If TNA can remain consistent, the ratings are sure to follow. Mick Foley, for instance, believes that for at least 6 months before Raw overtook Nitro, that they were producing better television... Check plus, my friend.

You've gotta been kidding me right? For the one time ever, MCMG beat Team 3-d, probobly the one and only time they even win a match, next Impact they'll be jobbing again. But sure, Vince take notes, take notes on how crappy TNA's bookings are. No I mean Vince, Take Notes. TNA gave the fans what they wantedtoo bad the fans dont even ing tune in to watch "what they want."

Is in TNA. If you dont know.... Now ya know. Do you watch Youtube shooting or somethng, I heard that line not to long back and you just reminded me of it, heh. Anyway on topic, aslong as Booker is used right and doesn't wrestle the 'E' style then I i will be happy. lol its Christian Cages catch phrase. "If ya dont know...now ya know."

Booker T has always been one of my favorites, but a couple of things: - I was kind of glad when he left the WWE because it was obvious he didn't want to be there anymore. He was showing no heart - This could be a great signing for TNA...but it won't be. They'll push him to the moon and have him face Angle for the title while the homegrown talent is pushed down even further. Sorry to double post but I dont entirely agree with this, with Angle he came in and went after Joe for almost 4 months and he won the belt and got stripped of it which had him going another month without it. They didnt automatically have him go after the belt and look at what they're doing now, Kaz is number one contender...what a huge surprise if he actually wins? they will pump up Cage vs Kaz again while Angle vs Nash and Booker vs Sting hopefully happens. I say lets just see what they do with him and if it turns out that they are just going to give him the belt then we can bash away but untill then..I say we just wait and see. the TNA PPV last night was bomb. Booker T has always been able to put on a good show thats why I loved watching Smackdown then he moved to Raw and I still watched, he is one of the few that kept me watching in WWE like Benoit, Triple H, Orton, Kennedy only a few guys have had me wanting to watch.

They made a smart move for themselves when they put MCMG over Team 3D. Actually gave the fans what they want. After which point Team 3D attacks Dutt and Lethal, claims the Machine Guns cheated, and kidnaps the X-Division title as punishment. Which begs the question...what was the point of MCMG going over?

Brother Ray was the one who got pinned and Dvon went through the table. so how could they have cheated? They are making a smart move, its a cool story line, something that has never happened before. Also, AJ and Tomko went over in the Steiners match, so did Kaz in Christians...looks to me like TNA can produce some good crapat times.

wrestling just isnt popular right now guys, one guy cant create a ratings surge. only way that happens, is when wrestling becomes popular in the mainstream again.

Booker T.: "What do you mean a first time bust gets a 30-day suspension?! I'm KING BOOKAH!! I should not be subjected to this kind of punishment! I'm taking my ball, and going to the minor leagues!"
Farewell, Booker. Enjoy jobbing to Angle for the next 6 months.

The only problem is after 5 years they still arent improving. Its not like people are bashing TNA only, check out the Raw threads...They bash the WWE as well...Wrestling in general is just down. Also with Impact being on Thursday its not gonna change anything. Only way they compete is if Impact goes to Monday..There is no war if your not fighting the same war I believe TNA is getting there. Currently i think they need the big names to draw the casual fans. Mainstream wrestling is down the indys are fantastic currently. TNA will eventually improve they've had 5 years and they've done so much. They have 2 hours on prime time each week. Currently TNA isnt in WWE's league i agree with that but maybe in 5 years TNA will be right up with WWE. Or they might be dead i don't know but either way it's exciting to see what will happen. What TNA needs to do is make their own stars. Some big names are fine, but they are all ex-WWE guys. The only TNA Original (and by that I mean someone who has never been in the WWE) that's even close to the main event is Samoa Joe. I do think that they have the potential to compete and possibly even overtake the WWE, just not in it's current state. All the pieces are there, they just need to completely change their style of booking. NOTHING they do makes any sense. They bury and push all the wrong people. In short, I am a TNA mark because I see what it could become, not for what it is today.

I don't mean to come across as a huge WWF/WWE mark but TNA is looking like WCW at the end of their run. They have guys like Sting, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash leading the charge with young talent falling by the wayside. I'm not saying it to be disparaging to TNA fans, but it's not a loss that Booker left and signed on with TNA. He was going nowhere in the WWE and has been for quite some time. WWE's product actually got worse with him around ever since he debuted during the Invasion and the WWE's product had been slipping since...

WWE didnt know how to use great talent like Booker T.
Thats the only reason why it seems like "not a big loss"
