  2. Saying 'while granted its there both on the back burner right now they atleast still have an x-div and a womens div' is circular logic since I could say the same thing about the WWE's cruisers and Divas. The fact they EXIST does not make them a difference maker.

     

    TNA is far more similar to the WWE than it is different. That was their decision. And it's been that way since Hogan came aboard. And again--it was their decision.

     

    Pointing out minute differences like the tag division and a little more emphasis on the in-ring product won't change that.

     

    And I'm not saying it's a bad thing...I just think that it's something that TNA fans should maybe look at and not try to fight so hard. Because the shows lately aren't terrible...when the writing is good it's still really good TV.

     

    im far from a tna die hard fan. i watch wwe as mach as i watch tna. its just a pet peeve of mine when people say there both the same is all.

     

    hogan and bisch did change the product when they came on board but thats hardly a surpise. some of it i like some i dont but then i've never found a company that ive been 100% satisfied with to the point where it has given me all i want to see, or been loyal to a company to the point where i dont watch the company or companys that ther are compeating against.

  3. Really? Who? Other than AJ and Jarrett..who's been there since basically the beginning?

     

     

     

    Really? What? What's in TNA's product that's so different from the WWE besides the slightly more PG 13 language?

     

    Their wrestling style used to set them apart and now that rarely gets showcased.

     

    if you define an oringal by there from day one then those two are the only ones... or if you class the ones that tna gave the first major exposure to then you can count abyss, beer money, lethal, kaz, the gun's and EY. storm, abyss, kaz, sabin and EY have been around since the asylum days. while yes kaz has come gone a few times hes been around tna for a while all-be-it on and off.

     

    i didnt mean that where massive diffrence but there are some. over all talent of the roster, tag titles that mean somthing other then to give someone a belt, while it may not be as cared about as it used to be the inring product is cared about more then in E, while granted its there both on the back burner right now they atleast still have an x-div and a womens div far more talent then E has on both its brands combined (yes thats not a hard achivment).

  4. You guys are still arguing the 'WWE rejects' thing as if it makes a difference.

     

    Look at that roster...there ARE no TNA originals. Mainly because TNA got rid of them years ago. As a matter of fact, TNA has pretty much got rid of everything that made them stand apart from the WWE. Also...years ago.

     

    They have done a good job taking guys like Pope, Anderson, and Morgan and using their full potential. And guys like Steiner and the Dudleys haven;t reinvented themselves, but they definitely have brought a lot to the company.

     

    But they brought just as many guys who were total busts and/or added nothing to the company: Test, Rikishi, OJ, Val Venis, Dustin Runnels...i mean the list goes on and on and on...

     

    In the end though the argument doesn't matter because if you take out those "WWE rejects" i don't really see anyone on the roster - other than AJ - that you can really call a homegrown STAR anymore.

     

    TNA shifted their focus a long time ago. They're "Sports Entertainment" now. People still worried about how the 'originals' are being treated have really missed the boat.

     

    That time is gone.

     

    saying there are NO TNA originals is a tad extreme. while there may be only a few left there still are some around.

     

    while yes they have been more examples of tna bringing talent from where ever and it not working out as to them well working out well, but that can be say for just about every company.

     

    while tna maybe more like wwe these days there is still enough there to atleast be somewhat diffrent. yes it may not be a 100% alternive anymore but thre are still plenty of diffrences between them.

  5. I don't like WWE Rejects because I like to see new characters and fresh ideas. Take Shannon Moore for example. I've been watching that guy for a decade. I've been watching him since he was in 3 Count, and he hasn't changed much since then. Sure, he lost the boy band look for a mohawk and some eyeliner, but in the ring he's practically identical (and not all that good). I was a fan back in the day (when was he with Matt Hardy Version 1.0?) but in 2010 I'm bored of the guy.

     

    Same with Brian Kendrick. Liked him in 2003. Bored now.

     

    Pope is a different situation. He was sporadically on the WWE 'C' show for year or two when I wasn't watching too much. He came to TNA, reinvented himself, displayed skills on the microphone I'd never seen from him before, and... He was fresh. He felt new and interesting.

     

    Granted, some of the ex-WWE guys are worth it. RVD & Jeff are big stars with talent and fan bases that will follow them no matter how stale they are. Some will be able to reinvent themselves to a worthwhile degree. To me, most are not worth it.

     

    im loving Brian Kendrick in tna personaly, tho i would have prefered it if he stayed away from ev2 but he sorta fits in well with those guys seeing as quite a few of them seem a little sort of sanity.

  6. I don't have a problem using WWE Rejects as they say. RVD should not be the World Champion. He could be competing for the TV Title or even X title but he doesn't have it. This is coming from a guy who is an RVD mark. I always thought he should get a shot in the E at something more than an IC title run.

     

    After seeing him as TNA Champion I think he shouldn't be the top champion. I do think he could be used as a gateway to the main event though.

     

    I like your ideas of showcasing Moore and such for the X title.

     

    Pope has made a name for himself in TNA because he truly is a great talent and has a lot of charisma. He should be main eventing or at least be on his way there. However AJ and Samoa Joe should be contenders for the World Title with guys like Sting, Angle, Pope, Hardy, and Anderson.

     

    Hall and Nash were 2 of the top WWE guys when they defected. That was why the start of the nWo was so big. Plus that storyline was booked very well with a lot of good shocking actions early on. Austin was made by the WWE and had some success before joining WWE.

     

    Im an RVD mark too but yes as a long term champion he is fair from the best choice in tna. granted he has a large fan base there i do see why they gave him the run they did but idealy they should use him as a short term champ now and then, a month or two at a time have him beat the champ then have him drop it to an up-and-coming heel.

     

    aj and joe should be considered by the tna booking team as up there with the likes of angle and such. why they have stuck the tv title on aj i really dont know, other then giving the title some cred in the fans eyes which could be easly done by a few other memebers of there roster.

     

    stings days of being the guy who is the main man are long over and have been for awhile. now him and nash have aligned themself with the pope that should be the factor into turning pope in to a true main event guy. after all it cant hurt having two of the biggist stars of the 90's on your side and with them as heels it wont matter as much if nash and sting interfere in a title match if he gets one in the near future.

     

    mind you moore and jessie seem like a nice fit as a team and with both gen me and the guns they could work well there as they have the lax thing with the power house and the flyer going agaist two high flying teams and with beer money waiting in the wings once ev2 have done there thing you have four teams there ready to go.

     

    while nash and hall while two of vince's main stars at the time wcw had already picked up both savage and hogan before that and neither of those made wcw the number one company. while it did give them the ratings wins here and there but its not like anyone could say that wcw where the #1 company in the states then. wwe made stone cold that i will give ya but austin had proven both in wcw and ecw that given the chance to he could be a star so that hardly makes a pure wwe orignal.

  7. I used to enjoy Vampiro in WCW early on when he was with Raven.

     

    Anyways back to TNA talk. I would love it if Fortune became bigger than anything else in TNA. Then some face guys who aren't WWE rejects come up and main event with AJ Styles and or Matt Morgan for awhile. To me that would make people want to watch TNA.

     

    You build new stars, and show that WWE talent is not better than your talent as proof by the fact they can't get to the top of your card. Occasionally guys can get up to main event like the Angles, Pope, and guys like that.

     

    i dont get why people make such an issue out of wwe rejects...

     

    the pope got relesed reinvented himself, got a spot in tna and got himself over to the point where he is now knocking on the main event/world title door. he got over in tna far more then he did in the E so if anything tna can claim they have done for him what E did to jericho when he first came in is some respects there so i see the problem with that.

     

    why on earth a company that angle on its roster and didnt use him as a headline act is beyound me! the guy is one of the best ever and im not even a huge angle fan.

     

    anderson and rvd both struggled in the E main event scene for many and diffrent reasons.. so why not bring them in and showcase them?

     

    take moore and kendrick as an examples of x div guys that come from a company that had no real intrest in there cuirsewight title then droped it all together why not take advantage of them too?

     

    would people complain if Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne got relased and he joined tna and won the x title? i doubt it.. while rvd world title win over aj was poorly booked in both the match and for money reasons due to the fact that not only did he beat aj in a short match as well as beating jeff just befor that match and also give away a match that people would have paid to see with no large build up is that smart..

     

    i like most fans like to see new people in the mainevent and world title picture but im really dont care if there a tna originals, wwe cast off or guys signed from the indys with strong followings..

     

    just making a bunch of tna originals isnt going to get people tuning in to tna as the past shows it storylines is far more important then that.. take two examples as it took nWo for wcw to kill wwf when they did for that near 2 year period. while it took took thw whole austin vs mcmahon storyline to save the wwe.... neither austin or hall, nash and hogan where wwe or wcw originals.

  11. <p>the big flaw with the ev2 idea was that it was hoped it would bring old ecw fans to watch impact.. big problem with was is that the fans how packed the old ecw arena aint going to tune it to watch the guyd they loved become nothing more then jobbers to fortune...</p><p> </p><p>

    btw way i wasnt counting rvd. but then he dosnt appear to be a key part of ev2 as he is doing his own thing with abyss then at some point soon will most likely face off with the world champ...</p>

  12. If I was going to have anyone take away Undertaker's streak it would be the Miz.

     

    I'd have Kane go over in his feud with Taker, but not decisively. Have the Undertaker win the Royal Rumble and face Raw's Champion(Either Orton or Cena) at Wrestlemania. After winning an exhausting match with Orton or Cena(maybe even a triple threat match). Miz cashes in MITB and defeats Undertaker, but not without struggle. That way the Undertaker gets beat, and Miz becomes a star. People already hate him, why not make them hate him more.

     

    I also have a plan for Unifying the World Championships which involves Miz winning Royal Rumble, facing Smackdowns champ, then cashing in on Raw champ after he defends.

     

    I'm not even a Miz fan. Just offering solutions to some possible Wrestlemania match-ups.

     

    i would hate for that too happen. i dont really want the streak to end and i cant stand the miz personaly. if they want miz to be the one to end it then fine but cashing in and doing it like that takes away just about everything he would gain by beat taker at mania and wastes years of building up the win streak.
