Stennick Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Another problem is that these guys are all tag teams for the most part. I'm more of a fan of showing off SINGLES wrestlers instead of a bunch of tag teams. Why not make it a tag team three way, or Homicide vs. Suicide and then Homicide cheats and out comes Hardy. Or Hardy walks out of the crowd, open challenge and Homicide answers. The truth is Jeff Hardy was the biggest world champion in the business six months ago and now he's just a guy.

MrCanada Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I really wanted this to be good. But the start is terrible thus far. The Steel Asylum match is always kind stupid. You cant see much because its red and abstructs everything. Seems the camera guys are just off. No big spots, which is what a match like that should be about. And then Homicide cant climb (lower's athletisism in mod). Plus Hardy has a lackluster debut. I mean, having him debut attacking AJ or something is what they should of done.

Stennick Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 hogan motorcade....hahaha I like the idea behind that huge hype for just how "important" Hogan is. Nash with a big promo "making more money than I ever have". I liked the promo but in reality there is no way he'll ever make more money than he did during his run with Time Warner when he was writing his own checks.

Trell Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Anyone else feel like Hogan is gonna come out at 8:55 just to try to stop people from changing to Raw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The truth is Jeff Hardy was the biggest world champion in the business six months ago and now he's just a guy. Yeah. It must've been decided to do it in order to get people to keep watching. I can't believe they're still doing the spider thing with Tara. Ridiculous. LOL..they cut away during the pin because too much butt was showing because ODB used the tights for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it feels like they are re-creating a company that fell apart for a reason... however, these guys are still interesting to see on TV. ya know? As long as they continue to build their own stars I see no problem having people like Flair show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanada Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 still very generic to me. I cant help but see this more of old stars simply going to the next place for a paycheck. I mean, Hogan already said he's not going to wrestle, I dont see Flair wrestling, Nash doenst really wrestler, if Hall comes back is he going to wrestle much? So its back to the WCW guys running around not wrestling, doing what? They already have Foley too who might not wrestle all that much... I dont get it. Not to mention Bubba the Love Sponge who is now getting a pay check for doing in reality what Borash or Hemme can do... and if the Nasty Boys show up. ugh. Not a good start at all. Why not focus on the guys in the ring? Angle, Hardy, AJ, Joe, Daniels, ext with Hogan there simply to elevate them? EDIT: All we need now is Tony Schiavone to join the announce team.

Nedew Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 if they bring in the old guys, "rargh rargh it's WCW all over again". If they brought none of them in, it'd be "rargh rargh no star power". They can't win. Some people just love complaining tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjfla Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Terrible 1st match-gotta love Homicide not able to get out the cage(someone twitter Dixie and say should have picked 1 of the other 7 who could climb out) Tara ass shot was nice tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm not ready to declare it a mess yet. I like Flair being there, the womens match was quick and in offensive. So far the only segment I don't like is the first segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually quite smart... Use the big names to lure in potential new viewers and then have them become familiar with your "REAL" talent. Give Styles, Daniels, Joe, Homicide, etc... a shot at those names in time & give them the rub at some point. In all honesty, TNA Needs these guys if they want to move on past being a somewhat unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not even 15 minutes since Jeff Hardy surprisingly appeared before we're told Hogan is 'not alone' and Ric Flair turns up - there's too much going on, and not in a good way... EDIT: Oh yeah, and Bobby Lashley is in TNA - I'd actually completely forgotten... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they brought none of them in, it'd be "rargh rargh no star power". They can't win. Some people just love complaining tbh. Not true. I think a lot of people would welcome RVD, Kennedy, and Hardy with open arms to TNA because they will contribute something. As I said above, now it seems you have Hogan/Flair/Nash/Hall/Foley and a bunch of other guys who dont wrestle that regularly.... I love having 1 of them there. Maybe 2. But those are probably 5 of the top 6-7 wrestlers on the pay roll who do what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT ones that can still go. like RVD, Kenndey or when they had the chance, jericho or someone similiar. Hardy IS a good pick. the old timers were old 14 years ago during the first defection. now they have one foot in the grave. quality star power. is the key, not boucing off the ropes with a walker.

The Final Countdown Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hardy and Flair in the first 30 minutes...very interesting. Not enough to keep me from turning to Raw to see Bret, but interesting anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDE71 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Homicide clearly was supposed to climb out of the cage and then get challenged by Hardy. Tara's ass was a bonus. Flair WHOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the only segment I don't like is the first segment. I meant more so that they are a mess technically; random cut aways, bad camera angles, going to commercial then coming back because it wasn't time...this is clearly a crew doing it's first live broadcast. Boo. Hate that Lashley's gimmick is that he's whipped. EDIT: LMAO..nevermind. That was a good way to spin it.
