Prior to responding, it's important to note that -- historically speaking -- I've written numerous posts greatly in favor of TNA's talent, title decisions and even acquisitions of past WWE talent. In fact, I have done so to the extent some would probably call me a "TNA mark," though I prefer to...

Distorted or not, the man voicing the Aces & Eights leader tonight was, indeed, Abyss. His voice is very distinct & instantly recognizable, even with the minimal distortion used for the segment. My hope is that "Abyss" isn't the leader. As a character which has lasted the entirety of TNA's...

TNA only has three major singles titles, so the company should be hip to using each and every one to properly build its competitors toward star-status. The X-Division title is being better utilized now than it has been in years; the TNA World Title is finally exactly where it needs to be. Now...

After watching pro wrestling for more than 30 years, I've become just a tad cynical. People who make the rounds on the indy circuit, building a tremendous "cult following" among what has now become known as the "IWC" before hitting "the big time," have too often gone on to disappoint me. To...

People who are TNA purists recall a time when the company was, honestly, defined by the X-Division and the Knockouts. It took how long before the current TNA creative team realized the impact and value of the X-Division? Unfortunately, while reigniting some excitement for that title and level of...

Interesting... As one of the few "older guys" on the boards, I remember Tatanka's career in its entirety -- yet nothing of it jumps out as particularly memorable or appealing. Perhaps that is because I never found his gimmick interesting and he, as a performer or personality, did little to...

Having TNA's early direction with Chavo move toward the tag team division is a relief to me! As I posted in a previous thread, Chavo and Hernandez together screams tag gold -- and a great opportunity to introduce Guerrero to TNA audiences in a way which is least likely to incite frustration or...

I totally agree with many. The biggest injustice of this story is how Claire was introduced. Had TNA done a more respectable job of bringing her in, rather than making her a sad "swerve" in the Dixie/AJ affair angle, people might be a little more receptive to her at this point. Instead, she's...

Christian has had a career any wrestler could be proud of when the time comes to move aside and let new talent climb the ladder. He's also the perfect performer to help make that happen. With a resume to support his perceived main event status, Christian can easily move from upper-midcard...

Honestly, I had absolutely no idea TNA put all this thought into the name of this angle. I'm repping most in this thread because, unlike 99.9% of the posts on this board, I actually LEARNED something. So, before continuing, thanks for educating me today! The way this angle is playing out thus...

A heel turn for James Storm at this time would completely derail all the progress TNA has made in establishing him as the company's top home-grown face. It would also throw a massive wrench in the obvious Storm/Bobby Roode feud TNA has been building since Roode took the belt last year. Granted...

The Claire Lynch story is terrible on so many levels. That TNA seems to be completely ignoring the fact that they, just a couple years ago, played up A.J. Styles "Family Man" is only a fraction of it. The bottom line is, when you are push-push-PUSHING a storyline this melodramatic, it's best...

In my opinion, losing either Bully Ray or Devon would be a tremendous blow to the TNA roster. Both have respectively busted their asses to get over with audiences (and done so successfully!) and are now solid veteran performers 100% willing to commit to angles, lend name recognition to the...

Saw The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX on Monday (I work in the media, so I get advance screenings). It was "OK." The story stumbled at times, lagged often and I felt like the characters weren't as well-developed as they SHOULD have been. Selina Kyle, in particular, was very under-developed. My...

Sadly, the WWE's choice for these teams will likely be "Keep & Job" all three. After all, it appears the company's current philosophy on how to "push" a tag team is to job them out repeatedly with the thought being, "At least they're on TV." The current feud between the Prime Time Playas and...
