tna -2003-2005 was my favorite company ever
it was the most mainstream punk wrestling company out there
now there are so mainstream its scary!
my least favorite thing about tna to be on topic.....................
the way kurt angle is used on tv. the guy could haul off and beat anybody- he is a killer. im convinced kurt angle will never be as good of a character as he was on wwe tv. his ecw character......... wow! the wrestling machine- this madman killer, he seemed dangerous.
now he walks around in his underwear, which pisses me off
good role for jeff jarrett
not kurt angle
he should be a heel because noone can beat him and he is arrogant
i hate him with the traditional heel role

Dutch Mantell.
Usage of their X-Division and Homegrown stars.
Hiring all these has-beens (Dudleys, Hall, Nash) as WRESTLERS. If they were managers or writers that be ok, but don't hire 51 year old wrestlers, if your company's slogan is "New face of professional wrestling"

Aside from continually employing Vince Russo, what do you think the biggest mistake TNA is making storyline/on camera-wise? I think it is the blatant waste of AJ Styles. This guy is the best thing since Shawn Michaels and stuck tagging with Tomko (nothing against Tomko, but he doesn't work the same style AJ does) and wrestling against guys that don't compliment his style. He is the biggest potential draw TNA has right now, and they are wasting him. you don't even know aj styles wrestling style today . i just saw a.j vs lo-ki on IGF & A.j. has changed his wrestling style to more heavywieght style like christians. it looks like a.j is getting ready to go WWE how he wrestles know. Pipe down, Mr. Mark. |

My main complaint with TNA is that in their five years of existance, they really haven't done anything. Have any of you ever watched a TNA show and felt like you just HAD to see their next show or PPV? They've never done anything all too interesting or important. I believe it was Eric Bischoff who said that they never "grabbed anyone". That's basically what I am getting at. That, and relying solely on WWE rejects to keep people tuning in. I have seen a TNA show that made me want to order the next event, Unbreakable from 2005. That was my first TNA show and after that I was in love, for a while at least. |

Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of TNA. I love their roster, it's infinitely better than the entire WWE roster combined, their women's division is far superior, hell I even like Mike Tenay better than most WWE commentators. I just hate how no one running TNA seems to understand the wrestling business. |

Also, 2005-EARLY 2006 was simply amazing. I loved getting home from school and watching TNA iMPACT. Now, eh, not so much...
Actually, not at all...

I think TNA should go into hibernation for a year or two and come back with a good product.
...and get rid of Don West, because hearing him makes me want to strangle kittens.

They aren't trying to be innovative or original. They're like WWE-lite. Casual fans will tune into WWE over TNA because it's what they know.
They need to drop the soap opera based story lines and just wrestle. WCW began beating WWF because they went in the opposite direction.
That being said, I love TNA and think it has so much potential that it is just not living up to.

I haven't seen someone misbooked as bad as Samoa Joe since late WCW 99/01.

Too many matches with Gimmick names. Not pushing homegrown talent. Too much attempts at Comedy

I long for the nashville days when the x division was the hallmark of the promotion see triple ladder match from 2002(styles low-ki & lynn) and heavyweights feuds were booked correctly see jarrett vs. raven 2003. plenty of surprises but not overused or made the main focus.

5) 3D kidnapping the X-Tittle, and bassicly making them X Stars.
4) I know it's not there fault, but not using Jarret on screen.
3) 50% of the roster have awful monster gimmicks (can SOMETIMES come in handy)
2) Shortcutting to sign has beens, or guys from other sports. Pac Man Jones, pwahh.
TNA's Biggest Mistake) Not making the team of Christian, Tonko, AJ, Rude and Angle go on longer.

One thing that is really overlooked isn't just the fact that they are bringing in all these "big names", it's just the fact that when push comes to shove, the big names look superior to the actual TNA talent when there are very high profile matches. Like matches where the match could really make a star. Examples can include:
Christian Cage over Monty Brown
Kurt Angle over Samoa Joe
Sting over Christopher Daniels
Kevin Nash over Chris Sabin
You get the gist of it. The only match I can think of that went in the opposite direction was Steiner vs. Joe.
There are tons of other things like trying to put too much comedy into the shows, not captalizing on anything, annoying announcers, etc. but I won't get into it.

It made Jay Lethal look the weakest of them all since he's been the X Division champion during the entire angle and has done almost nothing to get his title back. |

If they were managers or writers that be ok, but don't hire 51 year old wrestlers, if your company's slogan is "New face of professional wrestling" Right on the spot with that one If TNA IS the Future, then why is Sting, Steiner, Nash and Team 3D wrestling? Sure, they have some Value to them to what they have done in the past, but TNA should be the Future and should be pushing their own talent. |
