Now I love TNA but it is a bit tiresome seeing so many failed attempts at redoing a classic angle.....here are a few notable examples.....
Making Sting vs Jarrett with Angle as enforcer nearly exactly like Sting/Hogan with Bret from Starrcade 97
The Spike Dudley/Brother Runt crowd surfing that was cool in ECW, ok at first in TNA and every time after that was overdone
Now Mesias/Abyss/Mitchell is scary similar to Taker/Kane/Bearer
Cookies being taken to WWE as an attempt to make history as WWE did with the DX invasion of WCW
So there are a few off the top of my head.....not dissing TNA.....just recalling some copycat acts that just werent as cool as the originals

You could say the Roode/Brooks/Banks storyline copied Mero/Sable/Jackie (which probably copied Macho Man/Elizabeth/Sherri) as well.

TNA has no idea what the word original is.

Haha that was funny. They also had a nice time trying to revive ECW in 2002-2003. Sports Entertainment Xtreme was nothing but nWo without main eventers.
