What happend to the whole we are diffrent then wwe thing? How is hiring the cast off's from wwe going to be any better then what wcw did? We all remember what happend to them right. Huge contracts.....big names that only care about them selfs and there friends..........I think tna should be realistic about what they are. A small fed that has a small but loyal fan base with a great tv slot. They should in no way try to compete with wwe......why would they want to? Tna is still in reality a regional company *look at how they do when they leave the impact zone* with a nation wide tv show.

Just watched smackdown......Laughed hard when punk said he was more then a minor threat.
For thoes that don't know minor threat was the band that created the "straight edge" movment with the song straight edge.

I guess stevie even being even with raven is a little funny. How many times did raven slap down stevie in ecw and wcw? Stevie was well......we all know what stevie was when it came to raven......
-
I think it is funny watching stevie and raven now. The roles are completly reversed from EVERYTHING else the two have always done together. Raven is the lacky now it seams like. Stevie pulls the strings and raven is the backup. Not that there is anything wrong with stevie being the focal point because he has a long time left in the ring and raven is getting near the end i think. It is just odd.

Here is a question for people.....Who pays who in the tna situation with universal? I mean.....i am sure some people go to the park just to watch the show.......and some say "o hey, tna is taping something i should check it out". So does tna pay them because of the increased trafic to the park or does tna pay them to "rent" the area in the park?
-
No one has actully ever been fired from the company during this match though right? I mean.......danials lost and came back as curry man.......curry man lost and came back as suicide/danials......who else has lost? There have only been like three of them right?
-
I think if all people are ok with it a worked shoot is ok.......but this is super personal and i can't see kurt or his kids being ok with it. What could this lead to? a return of karen and battle her ex.......yah that won't be hard on the kids or anything at all.
-
the daniles wolf match was great....That is one of the better matches they have had on impact in a long time....the time limit draw killed it a little bit but i would have hated to see one of the two loose so i guess that is better then a double dq or a double pin or something stupid like that. That submission holds were insane looking.
-
I hope it is actuly punk vs orton......i would love to see that one.
-
I guess i am meaning main event on there brand.......a main eventer on a in a indy company is still a main eventer for that company. That is how i tend to look at it.....right now......the main eventers on ecw are regal....kosloff....christian....yoshi....bejamin.....and jackson. So i call them main eventers in that sense. A main eventer as drawing *there is that word again* then no.....they have not had alot of new ones made lately.
-
I'm not a fan of Sheamus, but at least WWE is trying something new. I think that this is our first new Main Eventer since 2007.
yah you might be right........wait a tick
kofi
legacy
punk
yoshi tatsu *yes he is a main eventer on ecw*
swagger *again he was a main eventer on ecw*
morrison *again main eventer on ecw*
they all hit main event status post 07 lol
-
O yes.....wcw use to do that all the time on there saturday night program. They will film multiple shows at once......some times a ppv would happen in between the filmings and a person would win the title. During the saturday night show the person would not have the belt at one point in the show but the next time they would. This was all pre-internet days so the only people who knew were the dirt shirt readers and the fans in attendence.
raw is live but the tribute to the troops is not. it has already been filmed
-
The title change did not come as a bit surprise as Wait for it........wait for it......they already filmed the over sea's show and cena did not have the belt......he said when i get you back in the ring it will be diffrent. Shocker but they spoiled a yet to be aired ppv.......lol very intresting.
-
I think shamaus is a credible champion.........He has a very unique look....VERY UNIQUE lol......can talk......and was booked as a unstopable monster. He got a lesnar push yes.......but i think he can do it.
O and by the way.......on the subject of anyone can draw money.......tell that to my former book keeprs lol........not everyone can be a draw.
-
Ok, so the rock would be the first to admit he was never the best 'wrestler,' but he had ring presence coming out of his ass! (in my opinion.)
Before all his neck troubles, and in a few brief outings afterwards, Austin was a really great wrestler, and more than hung with Bret Hart.
Hogan...see Rock
Triple H had a really good run of awesome matches so he had the talent but rarely shows it unless he has the right opponent
Again, Scott Hall was at one time or another a huge prospect, but for whatever 'personal demons' he had, never fulfilled it.
Nash...well Nash is Nash, I'll give you that one.
On top of that I'll add CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, (who was beginning to show signs of awesomeness,) Kurt Angle, Christian Cage, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho....all wrestlers who I would consider as talented who have recieved major pushes. Regal was pushed huuuuuge...until he got caught by wellness.
I think there is a diffrence between a push.....and a draw....styles could not draw any real money to be honest, same with joe christian and benoit. Jericho....well he draws and is uber talented so i think he might be one of the exceptions......but even he has towned down him in ring talent as of late. I think lesner could have been huge....like hogan and rock huge......he was young....had a great look and with heyman was getting a ton of screen time.
-
lol i just relized what i did switch hall and nash my bad
.........austin when he was a good wrestler was never a draw.....he did not start making big money till the time after the neck injury..........He was a brawler and i guess that might be one reason why i looked at him as less talented. I always though anyone could be a "brawler"
-
In modern wrestling.......as far as the wwe goes......."wrestling talent" is low on the list of things to look for and i think it should be. Lets be honest......name a top draw in the last twenty years who had alot of wrestling talent........I can name maybe 10 MAYBE.......
Rock....as a wrestler he was not that good
austin.........nope
hogan........the five moves of death
triple h.........see hogan
hall..............next
nash.........when he wanted to be *sober* he was ok......but never a huge draw
I think i made my point.........For every angle or guerrero.......there is five austins and rocks......people don't pay to see people wrestle in the wwe any more. If so lance storm.........william regal......and guys like him would be top draws.
-
I never really liked odb all that much to be honest. She is good at him gimmick i guess but i just think she is bad on the mic and not alot of ring skills.......i think if they pushed her like the monster of the knockouts like they do kong it might be diffrent.
-
I think they have dropped the masked man attacking angle. It was not at the ppv or the last two impact....i know it was not on the last one atleast. I think it might have been tomko but they just dropped it and intorduced him on screen the way they did because they did not know what elce to do.
-
You know, with all the dx swaggle stuff and with him hosting after the ppv I would be shocked if either shawn or hunter does not come out as champ and have to face him.
-
If rvd would join it would be an intresting fit. I don't think he could work the x style any more. His body has broken down over the years but i don't know if i could see him as a main event guy in tna either. I would prefere him putting over guys like styles and daniales and maybe even red and homicide. Guys like hogan and flair if he comes in are not going to build anyone i don't think. They need a guy like rvd who has name crediblity to build up younger guys. I think he is somone that would do it.
