    The Official TNA / Impact / GFW Discussion Thread

    in The Dog Pound

    Posted

    I read that if TNA were to go out of business their contracts would still be guaranteed because they are working for the parent company. If they had TNA contracts and the company went out of business that would be that, and they would get nothing.

    Right. Just like how some of the guys from WCW (Goldberg being one for certain) continued to receive money from Time Warner/AOL/whatever after WCW was sold off.

    From the Observer website:

     

    Keep in mind the history of Eric Bischoff and WCW when these stories break....

     

    However, Awesome Kong allegedly attacked Bubba the Love Sponge over his remarks about Haiti last night in Orlando. Kong had done a fund raising effort over the weekend for earthquake victims.

    Kong was then sent home by the promotion.

     

    This morning on Bubba's show, Hulk Hogan was guest and Hogan brought up how Kong "beat the hell" out of Bubba last night. Bubba said he didn't want to talk about it, but then did talk about it, describing it as a "sucker punch."

     

    I really hope this is true. That guy is in serious need of a good pounding. (and I'm not saying that because of his Haiti comments; we don't need to get back into that again. The guy is just annoying in general.)

    Yeah, let's try to steer this back on topic...

     

    I haven't seen the PPV, but I have been thoroughly unimpressed with Flair in TNA so far. He just seems like he's completely disinterested in everything that's going on, and if that holds true, I have major concerns about his apparent involvement with AJ.

     

    While I'm at it: I know plenty have said it already, but Sean Morley beating Christopher Daniels is just an atrocious decision as far as I'm concerned.

    Eventually they might fly a plane your face.

    Personally, I find that far more arrogant/offensive/etc. than any of the things you bolded in your quote.

     

    But this isn't the topic for that, so I'll drop it and get myself back on topic. The spoilers for the next Impact sound terrible. If they want to be different and offer an alternative to WWE, they sure are going about it the wrong way.

    First time I've seen the Young Bucks, now Generation Me obviously, and I was impressed. Like them a lot. They have some great agility and are exciting in the ring. Look forward to seeing more of them in the future.

    Yeah, The Young--err, Generation Me are a fun team to watch. They could be a nice addition to TNA's tag division if they're used correctly. That match with the Guns was a good start.

    Wow I like them a lot! Sorry I had it on really low, just turned it up. I only put I don't know who they are on the indy scene because the person before put "UGH" so I thought maybe they were crappy or something.

     

    I'm not sure if the Nasty Boys can wrestle still, I"m pretty sure that they can't but this is pretty entertaining. I haven't liked the Dudley Boys in yearsss so lets see what happens in this fued..

    Nope, my "ugh" was definitely not in response to the team. Just their new name, which I think sounds ten times worse.

     

    Could The Nasty Boys ever wrestle?

    It means that the WWE has consistently produced a product that more people across a wider variety of audience types are interested in spending their money on for a longer period of time than any other promotion in history.

     

    If that doesn't mean 'better' to you ..so be it.

     

    But they are the most successful at doing the most important thing in their industry.

     

    Everything else is totally subjective.

     

    EDIT: to be clear, I'm not saying that I enjoy everything the WWE does or that indy companies aren't entertaining, but it's sort of a joke to see net fans whine about how th WWe doesn't know what they're doing or how to develop talent when they're making so much f'n money in an industry where making money is really the only thing that counts.

    OK, now we're on the same page. You are absolutely correct; WWE is the most successful promotion in the history of the industry. My own complaints with their product aside, they continue to make money year after year after year, so they clearly know what they're doing. And, like you said, everything beyond that is totally subjective.

    I don't understand the whole popular=better argument. Popular=more successful, sure, but the quality of something is down to the taste of the individual. I don't see why wrestling should be looked at any differently in that respect than movies/music/TV/books etc. I can acknowledge that WWE is more successful than ROH; that's inarguable. But if I prefer to watch ROH, they're obviously better in my opinion.
