Oh look, some bitter fucktard wanting to gain attention with an anti-TNA post... let's see how much fun I'll have with this.
Oh look, some TNA mark who makes assumptions and is a douchebag for really no reason...let's see how much fun I'll have with this.
A couple of problems here.
1. Your math is off. Russo's single handily responsible for creating all of those "great" Attitude Era gimmicks that people love so damn much.
Vince McMahon was his filter. Besides I was more referring to Hogan and Bischoff.
2. Bischoff made WCW a great deal of money for years.
Like I said, for 3 years, WCW was on top from about 95/96-98/99.
3. Hogan's been in the business since the 70s and you're telling them to fire him? FIRE Hulk Hogan? Really? Fire the man that revolutionized wrestling not once but multiple times? Are you serious? You must've been riding the short bus to school.
Can you not fucking read bro? No I didn't say fire him, I said for them to stop letting him have creative input. Of course keep him on the roster, for them to say "we have Hulk Hogan". Hogan was never really a creative mastermind. He either had Vince or Bischoff to push him, and in WCW most of the success of that tandem came from his name value that he established with Vince behind him.
And the fans who constantly babble on and on about how they want the attitude era or how CM Punk is bringing in a new attitude era aren't stuck in the 90s?
1. What does that have to do with me
2. CM Punk kind of has brought in a new era, he now has more input and a louder backstage voice due to his value as the biggest star in wrestling now, which means guys like Ryder get screen time. Meaning he has input on storylines. See, unlike your beloved TNA, changes are actually happening. Guys like Edge and Batista and Jericho are gone, and guys like Ziggler, Del Rio, Miz, Kingston, Sheamus, etc. are stepping up. Unlike TNA which is running the same tired ass Angle vs. Sting feud we have already seen. Angle and Sting are like the Taker and Michaels of TNA. Notice how WWE never would make HBK and Taker feud for the belt. That's because they legitimize their younger talent.
Not to mention, but hasn't DX reunited countless of times in the past 5 years? Aren't they a 90s thing? Would that mean they're stuck in the 90s?
Countless? I think they reunited all of 3 times. The first time in 06, it made for good TV, their feud with the McMahons. Then after that, they were a casual tag team, and occasionally funny. But the thing is, they don't keep bringing DX back under a different name. I've watched TNA on and off since 07 and as long as I can remember watching, there's been an nWo like stable.
And their runs in the 2000s, resembled nothing of their heel runs in the 90s.
Didn't CM Punk just have two heel stables back to back? Didn't Wade Barrett have to heel stables back to back? Weren't the two biggest faces (Show and Cena) the forefront of both stables' rivalries? So you're going to bash TNA for doing something and praise WWE for copying it months later.
Nexus was the only one that resembled a former storyline. SES was a fresh idea, and honestly I'm surprised they didn't do the Straight Edge Savior thing sooner.
Tying CM Punk to Nexus was probably a last minute decision because they had nothing else for the leftovers of Nexus, and it legitimized Nexus.
Barrett was the perfect choice for Nexus. And he led Corre, because again, it gave them something to do besides be released.
Big tough guy going on a massive win streak... yeah totally never done before by WWE.
You got me on this, but I'm just saying. TNA is shameless with the copying. I know Goldberg is Bill's last name, which adds to my point of TNA shamelessly copying/rehashing (They could have named him anything other than a color, not that I have a particular problem with it, but it shows that they were blatantly copying Goldberg).
Yeah, the same guy who brought wrestling one of its popularity is totally doing a bad thing by bringing back the stuff that FANS constantly rant on and on about reviving, and when he does it, you get mad at him? Let me guess, you got pissed at Obama wanting free health care didn't you?
Lol who rants about reviving nWo? Unlike Rock and Austin and DX who the fans NEVER got tired of (and all of them left because of wanting to leave/injury, not being forced to end like nWo), fans got so tired of nWo that it was actually apart of the downfall of WCW. It was the same shit. Nobody was asking for a nWo revival. Don't know what Obama has to do with this, but I'm actually in favor of the health care bill.
Monty Brown held the title BEFORE he went to the WWE. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe don't count for being in WWE because they weren't signed, just local jobbers... and now they're house hold names to wrestling fans. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin have also never been to the WWE and they're former tag champions, Gunner and Crimson are being pushed as two beast ass power houses, Abyss is a TNA Grandslam champion and has never been in WWE. Jay Lethal, Eric Young, Homicide, Rosita, Sarita, ODB, Angelina Love, and Madison Rayne were never in WWE and they've all held TNA gold.
James Storm and Robert Roode are probably TNA's best tag team and they've never been in WWE either. Neither has Daniels or Skipper, and Low-Ki was TNA before he went to WWE... he was even one of TNA's original X-Division pioneers.
Where the hell do you get your facts from because you sure as hell need some help.
Obviously I fucking meant the World Title belt. Do you really think I went through every title's history in TNA, all to come u-
Nevermind. Just know I was referring to the World Title belt, in which Samoa Joe and AJ Styles I guess could be counted as homegrown in the aspect that they gained fame in TNA, but they still had minor stints in WWE before that.
Right because seeing John Cena fight for the honor of the WWE hasn't been done before right? Not by him, not by The Rock, not by anyone... right? Right?
But that's the thing, a superstar doing promos like Punk hasn't been done before. In fact, before Punk's promo, this match was just another Cena vs. Heel match. Cena would face him in Chicago with a hostile crowd, win, get booed, and either ADR would have cashed in that or the next night and we would be seeing ADR vs. Cena at SS.
Punk's promo made this feud a big deal. I doubt we would have the title unification, or if he would have even signed an extension, if he didn't raise his stock with the promo.
This isn't about "WWE's honor". This feud is only relevant because of Punk's involvement.
That's what I thought, sit there behind your computer and keep quiet.
Ironically, I wasn't even gonna respond to anyone in this thread until this exact comment.
Dude, it's wrestling. They repeat storylines all the time. For crying out loud, Michael Cole is running the same fucking storyline JR did when he first replaced Vince on commentary. CM Punk is doing an escalated version of Chris Jericho. Evolution was Four Horsemen revisited and it turned out great... did it not?
But Michael Cole is hilarious on commentary, CM Punk has rejuvenated the business (to the point of your beloved TNA trying to capitalize with footage they probably would have never looked at if it wasn't for his recent run), and Evolution made two main eventers, made Flair relevant again, and made HHH look stronger. None of the nWo rehashes have done that for TNA.
We all see the storylines being repeated, but unlike you, we're smart enough to not let it bother us and just watch and see how it goes.
No, unlike me, you are so desperate to find an alternative to WWE, and TNA is easy to flock to, considering ROH is a completely different style and can't be found on TV as easily as TNA.
I'll leave you with this, the fact that Angle and Sting are still main eventers after all these years in TNA says alot. TNA has no John Cena or Randy Orton or Batista or Miz that they turned into a superstar from beginning to present.
What would draw more, Cena vs. Orton or Styles vs. Joe?
