I think this thread is amazing what has been said is so true by everyone that has posted. And here is my rant TNA is a good alternative for me anyway I hate watching ROH and everyone talking about how awesome it is but i am not one to judge as i havent seen alot of it but i think too many people shove ROH down my throat and it gets on my nipples a bit. What Tna should be doing is seriously looking at there roster and there booking some times it is terrible I mean look at Christopher Daniels he was doing so well on his own and I personally thought he was gonna be big this year but nope they shove him down back with XXX who imo have not really had that much of a crowd reaction since forming. I dont agree with what some people have been saying about AJ though I think since he has been with Christian he has really come out a bit and he is a very funny to watch and great in the ring. Abyss is another missed oppourtunity for TNA this guy was mega mega over a few months ago and hes wrestling guys like Greydust i mean comeon Abyss deserves better in my eyes. The TNA home grown talent needs to be pushed more and have better oppourtunities and i know TNA needs the ex WWF WCW WWE guys to get ratings because people arent going to tune in to people who arent established but if you need old guys dont get newbs like Black Reign, Stamboli, VKM, etc etc, if they wanted good ex guys they should have got people like Hogan, Goldberg, RVD, Lesnar, Jericho. Conclussion TNA is nothing more than an alternative it never will be as big as WWE and it will get stale quickly because sooner or later the young guys are gonna get up and go you know what were not doing anything here lets go to WWE and they will just be like WCW when WWE raided them for people. Thank you good night

tna is going to kill themselves much like wcw if they dont push their own talent instead of pre-established stars but the all out push to only have their own guys is stupid too... they need the proper mix of established stars and fresh talent. they're fortunate enough to have established guys, such as Sting and Kurt Angle, who want to put over younger guys. If they take advantage of this fact, they can do very well. Established guys have always been used to help fledgling companies. that's the way the business works. But if you don't build up new people as well, then your roster will eventually fade into obscurity.

And as much as I love that style, I'm fully aware that it could never work on a national level. He, on the other hand, does not realise that. They need to book things differently, and not try and rehash things that have already happened before... I have no problem with them bringing in former WWE guys, but plans like reforming Too Cool are just stupid.

Well that is a compelling argument. But hey. Of course I am. I'm telling you guys the honest truth and you just don't like what that truth is. Well.. I don't care. I'm right. I know I am right. I have given logical reasons why TNA is a waste of money, and not one person has argued with me. Why? Simply put: Because they can't. The only person who made a decent point that i haven't acknowledged until now is "newfrigginshow" when he said: Well TNA have a billion dollar company backing them in the form of Panda Energy. TNA have cost them a fortune. You may all love TNA. We'd all love to say TNA was the little promotion that will grow big and will over take WWE. Unfortunately, some dreams don't come true. TNA wont be The little engine that could. A few years from now, TNA will simply be a distant memory. To quote Sean O Haire: I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.Wow aren't you a bad ass listen up buddy the money situation may be true but Panda Energy has plenty of money and if I'm correct they never have gave notice or really complained about TNA and the money they have lost cause of TNA , but seeing as you love to defend WWE so much let me ask this why is it more and more fans have stopped watching WWE and are now into Ring Of Honor and TNA , yet the same brainwashed children of today still buy all the merchandise and watch WWE like its a religion, I'm really just trying to state that even if WWE will be around for another 20 yrs or so they are losing fans to companies such as Ring Of Honor and TNA because alot of fans are fed up with Vince McMahon's s*** so I'm sure in the future WWE will still be as big but not as profitable as now. Waits For people to call me a Mark Panda Energy are a business. No business man allows his money to be gave away. It doesn't happen. Whilst Panda Energy may not have openly complained about TNA, any amount of money that TNA take is hurting Panda. To Panda, TNA can be seen as nothing more than a leech that is sucking their money out of them and wasting it. As for fans who have stopped watching WWE and opt for other promotions like ROH and TNA. It comes down to one thing, and one thing only... The Internet. The internet is changing the face of professional wrestling. Every small town, run down, hick of a promotion can be seen by thousands these days. But as i have said.. Kids are the majority.. Kids are the fans... 90% of fans grow out of Wrestling at 15 or 16. Those who stay on (like myself) are able to go and freely watch other promotions because we see through story lines and we appreciate the actual in-ring wrestling. Kids dont care about the wrestling. They care about seeing their favourite wrestler win his match against the bad guy. Besides.. All of TNA's fans keep up to date on WWE (whether they admit it or not)... but not all of WWE's fans care about TNA. You might not like it but its the truth. As I've said before.. 2007 is a great qualifier for the worst year in WWE history. Deaths.. Steroids... Injuries.. Murders... Bad media... TNA had their chance this year. TNA should be the number one company right now. They didn't do it. Look at TNA.. It looks like a WWE reunion show. I mean for the love of god. Booker T just went over there. He is a man that can do anything he sets his mind to (look at how amazingly well the King Booker thing went) and what happens? He comes out doing the exact same thing he did in 2000. Another blown opportunity. Was anyone suprised to see him jump about and have his pyro go off.. just like it did for the last ten years? I know i wasnt...
