TheWrestlingMan

I started with season 1 on the wwe network so I haven't seen her episodes yet, but it helps get me invested in the wrestlers. Jon Uso is one that shines on the show if they let him be himself on raw he'd be a star.

I'm going with Ambrose and having Rollins win the title on a cash in after Cena pins Lesnar. I will say I'm enjoying wrestling more over the last week or 2 than I have in a long time, the Raw this week was great and I'm looking foward to the Rumble. On a different note I think I have a total divas addiction, I thought I would hate it but I think they need a show for the male wrestlers also it adds so much character and I enjoy it.

I have started to dig NXT though and I think some of them could be big my personal favorites and I can't wait until they get to WWE is Big Cass and Enzo they are great too me.</p>

DB is not entertaining at all to me,he's just so bland and boring. I honestly don't see the hype the whole Yes gimmick is annoying he is great in ring but that's it and that isn't what makes a world champ to me.

You know this new network may not be the biggest but they have advertised the hell out of TNA. I was watching a basketball game on ESPN tonight and I saw 4 TNA commercials in just the 2 hours the game was on.

I think you have confused TNA with WWE and Big Show

It's not about whats easier to sell its about the man that is the owner being racist. If every black guy is a thug/rapper/dancer it's not gonna take off. Vince McMahon doesn't care about black people *Kanye Voice*

It was better than any of the DB/Orton mess so thats a plus

I understand overbooking one finish on a show (namely the main event because that's usually where it should happen) but TNA does it all the time and it really bothers me. They try their best to throw in swerves and overbook every match they can to the point where nobody not even the fans know what is going on. </p><p> </p><p> Heck if I am watching TNA and I see a clean finish, I start to forget what show I am watching because lets face it clean finishes in TNA aren't common place.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Last night was the first time post Russo they had alot of bad endings. I liked the end to the Roode/Angle match tbh, I would give it a 5 star rating and one of the best matches of the year so far.</p><p> </p><p> I didn't like the X-divison ending, the knockout match ending, or the ending to the Magnus/Sting match though.</p><p> </p><p> Overall I agree there were too many bad finishes in the ppv.</p>

Not exactly predictable, but not a smart move A reality TV "star" ( who I have never heard of before in my life before he was in TNA) is half of the tag champs, a 280 pounder in Samoa Joe competes for a title that is supposed to have a 230 lbs. weight limit, and TNA's own version of Cena won the title. <p> </p><p> AJ is okay, but I just hope they handle this right. I'm assuming they are just trying to revamp their company, but idk how much of a shot they actually have.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> X-Division is about No limits they've never had a weight limit Joes has held the title 2/3 times.</p><p> </p><p> Jesse is a good wrestler he was wrestling before he was a reality star and plus Miz is a reality star and he held the WWE Championship</p><p> </p><p> Overall I was somewhat disappointing and glad I didn't order the PPV. Having a squash match on your biggest ppv of the year is terrible, plus the X-Division match should have been alot better and longer. </p><p> </p><p> I do like the new announcer they have, I also loved Roode/Angle and AJ/Bully but I was hoping for more run ins in that match tbh.</p><p> </p><p> Overall I give BFG a 6/10 and the only reason it is that high is the two matches above.</p>

Don't get me wrong, I like Cody <em>and</em> Dustin; Cody has been brilliant for the past couple of years both with his gimmicks and in-ring ability, and Dustin looks like he's in the best shape of his life, but really? You'd sacrifice the momentum of the best stable you've produced in years, The Shield? It was obvious they'd win at Battleground, but I wouldn't have handed them the straps a couple of weeks later. <p> </p><p> I'm glad the 'E are seemingly trying to reinvest in the Tag Team division, but to reinvest in it you don't weaken your best team. You might say they've not been weakened because it was Show who cost them, but as long as they're no longer the Tag Team Champions, they're weaker... as a Tag Team and a stable. There was plenty of other ways it could have been played out with Show still interrupting, Triple H being aggravated and Rhodes' "winning" without them dropping the belts. I just don't understand it, that's all.[/2cents]</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> It doesn't weaken the Shield at all it was a tainted win that will help lead to a longer feud. It adds more to the shield than it hurts them. I just wish they would let Dustin be Dustin and not Goldust for this angle</p>

I completely understand that a belt or a title is a prop in wrestling but they could at least have some prestige. <p> </p><p> Take the World Title for instance In the 11+ years of this company's existance they haven't had a World Champion hold the belt <strong>FOR ONE YEAR</strong> </p><p> </p><p> Instead they have a bubble gum booking philosophy and when someone gets hot they will give them the title (which makes sense) and then someone else will get hot so they will take the belt off the first guy to give it to the second guy and so on and so on. To the point where I can't ever get behind a TNA World Champion because I know that they wont keep it that long heck the longest reigns have been by Bobby Roode at 9 monthes, 9 Monthes that's not long at all. It just really bothers me.</p><p> </p><p> I understand also that in today's wrestling a lot of people when I present this arguement will give me the whole "Well that's not how things work in today's wrestling" to which I would say well WWE did it with CM Punk having him hold the WWE title for 434 days so why Can't TNA at least have a champion hold their World Title for 365 days?</p><p> </p><p> Rant over I digress.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, but the title histories are messed up for TNA any way the have had the current TNA Championship since they split from NWA in what 06? They have no records of NWA title runs from 02-06 which I thing Jeff had over a year run I'm not too sure.</p>

I've actually been a WWE fan longer than TNA. I've never said the E was gonna go down. I've said I don't like the current main story in WWE but I have also stated plenty of other things that I do like about the current storylines. I like both companies.

You can't please someone who doesn't want to be please. Dixie is much better at being a heel than Steph right now imo</p>

The thing about the Dixie turn is she seems like she belives everything she say which makes her an incredible heel. Her mic work is improving every night and the crowd hates her. This will put AJ over as a huge fan favorite which is something TNA is lacking right now.

The guy is hilarious and I loved when he was doing his World Elite things before Hogan showed up too. He can have good matches with almost anyone and the guy has freakish power for a guy his size... not quite John Cena levels, but I've seen him carry two guys on his shoulders pretty comfortably. <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I'm still not a fan of Joseph Parks as a character but there's no doubt that he's got more versatility than I'd have ever thought he did since his Abyss days. I hope the plan is ultimately for him to go back to being Abyss again one day, but the EY/Parks stuff is fun. And ODB is better when she's got someone else to bounce off too. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> No-one seems to have mentioned it yet, but I loved the Hardy/Aries match on Impact last week. I always enjoy when those two guys get to go against each other and the finish was insane looking. Was a hell of an opening match for a TV show. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah it was great and props to Hardy for being a vet that's not afraid to put young talent over. I can not wait to this 5 way Ultimate X match at BFG it is going to be awesome, TNA has really focused on the X-Divison alot lately and it has been awesome. I wish they would put Kenny King in it but 6 might be too much that kind of match.</p>

TNA seems to develop midcard talent alot better these days.</p>

Side note I love the TNA thread going more, it has been lacking activity lately so we should keep this going haha.

The only thing I'm not liking right now is The BroMans and their not terrible, I do like Dixie as a heel alot more then I thought I would she has the sweet southern bitch feel haha, but her name dropping Steph was pretty cool though. I like her more than Steph as a on screen personality honestly.
