The first thing I ask is for all the TNA marks to stop insulting people who don't share your same opinion. If not I will personally ask the mods to close the thread.
Well, if you can't stand the heat, don't turn heel.
Second, I never said that some veterans should not be sprinkled in. All Im saying is they are making Daniels & Dinero lose to the wrong people. Third I have alot of respect for Flair, Angle (somewhat), Sting, Foley & Team 3D, thats does not mean they are not old.
Flair and Sting are old, granted, but why you lump in Angle, Foley and 3D, four guys that have done nothing but work very, very hard to take TNA to the "next level", is beyond me. How can losing to someone be "wrong" if the angle ends in them going over?
In fact, isn't Team 3D (Bubba) about the same age as Daniels?
Anyway, you confuse "have worked for a long time in the big leagues" with "being old".
I think Nash is a good booker & Hall has an excellent mind for the business when he is not all liquored up, they should be behind the camera where they belong. They time in the ring came and left.
You do realize that Nash and Hall were two of the guys behind the infamous Fingerpoke of Doom, right? How in the hell do you justify thinking Nash is a good booker? Granted, I don't want Nash on my screen anymore than you do, but I don't want him running the book either - I want him retired.
Im gonna tell you what I like so far and what I hate and why I think guys like Hero & Cabana should have been included instead of guys like Morley & Jordon.
Guys that no one outside the IWC and indy circuit has ever heard of or cares about? Or, they could bring in guys with some name value (such as Morley - though I can't agree more with you on Orlando Jordan), that ADDS something other than another spot monkey for the X-division.
The roster I put up was to make a point of how much older talent there is and how it looks like the Hogan tour and not the TNA roster.
Here is what I like to see them do, I have no problem of them trying to build Dinero, Daniels & Wolfe. The is exactly what need to be done. Fact is I like the new make over Wolfe got and Dinero is light years ahead of where he was in the WWE. My problem is I would have rather seen Daniels vs Foley who is established or maybe against Sting, same goes for Dinero. I see no point in why Venis or Jordan or why even Lashley is still lingering. They were never nothing more then mid carders or Vince's flavor of the month. Come on even Daniels vs Raven would have been better then seeing them trying to build him over with Morely. Also when was the last time Jordan wrestled in the states last I heard was that he was kissing men who looked like boys and wrestling overseas. Go out and sign yourself a Hero, a Tyler Black and Colt Cabana. Guys who are awesome on the mic & on the mat. Just mentioned 3 guys I cannot stand seeing in TNA and are taking roster spots and time from the young guns.
First of all, Foley is involved in the ownership angle, so that wouldn't work.
Secondly, both Morley and Jordan were excellent mid-carders and did their job very good - more so Morley than Jordan in my opinion, but that's subjective.
Bobby Lashley is an awesome athlete and has worked very hard to come to the point where he is now, and to simply dismiss that as him being "Vince's flavor of the month" is disrespectful not only to him, but to the god damn wrestling business as a whole. Is he the best mic worker? Hell no, but he is excellent athletically in the ring, barely ever botches and can go with anyone that can carry him through the psychology (which is another weak point).
If you want to be a homophobic bigot, that's up to you, but the constant bashing of Orlando Jordan's sexual preferences is getting real old, real fast. I don't care if he shags arse or sucks dick, as long as he entertains me in the ring and nor should you.
Signing Tyler Reks, Colt Cabana and Hero would be better why, exactly? They have no name value and would have to be built from the ground up, while Morley and Jordan both are fairly entertaining given a chance, solid in the ring, hard workers and already have established characters.
Let me clear something on Morely, he is another good guy with an excellent mind for the business who has no business being in the ring. He could have been an excellent booker or a jobber, but seeing him win against Daniels make my stomach turn.
So, basically, you want to toss Daniels' salad and when someone gets a kayfabe win over him on a kayfabe show, in a kayfabe manner, you get all pissy? Blind marks so often miss the larger picture, which is that in all likelihood Daniels will get the rub from Morley in one way or another and hopefully go over Morley down the line. Judging an angle from the first match is like ruling out a team in the NFL because they lost their first match... there's a whole season ahead. Have some patience.
Pac & The Nasty Boys must go, period. Have Team 3D put over the young guys or even Beer Money who I think are established.
Pac, yes. As fast as possible. He can't go in the ring and he's awful on the stick. If he's being used in a way that puts someone else on the roster over until then, that's fine.
The Screw Job, Hogan did was pitiful and it sucked and Hogan's promo are not the best. Also if Hall, Pac, Morely, The Nastys & Jordan just coming and going then why are they on the official roster. I thought the storyline was Hall & Pac did not have contracts.
The entire thing was based around the fact that we DON'T KNOW whether Hogan was responsible for the screw job or not. Why are Hogan's promos not the best? Could you break it down a little, other than "it's Hogan, so they must suck, 'cause Hogan sucks"?
They have roster pages because it's a good idea to put your workers over, no matter how long or short their stay. It's rarely a good idea to bury them or give away storylines by not adding/removing them to/from the roster page.
The one thing I think they did good was getting Kendrick who is a great talent, but letting Kong and Flash get away cost them.
They didn't let anyone get away, both of them quit. It's their choice and we should focus on those who are left and try to appreciate them, instead of mourning over what we don't have.
The Jeff Jarrett angle is the worst TV I have seen in weeks, can they get rid of him as well.
So, they should fire Jarrett because you don't understand how a long-term angle works? Before they've had a chance to let the angle gain some momentum? Wow. Just... wow. On that note, the Mike Tyson face turn angle was worse. The "The Flame" guest host match angle was worse. The Bret Hart return angle is worse, so far anyway, but hopefully it picks up speed...
TNA take two steps forward & then they take five steps back, that is why it is so fruastrating and that is why I get so pissed. I want to see them do good, but it is hard to see any progress.
Then you haven't watched the last few iMPACTs or Genesis, because progress is all over the place. Pushes are happening, storylines are forming and EVERYONE has got an angle or character arc happening. We move from clusterfucks and Dusty Rhodes-like booking to something fluent, coherent and complex and you bitch and whine as if there's nothing going on? Good God, you've been reading too many forums.
BTW and something that has not been mentioned is why in blue hell did they not get rid of freaking Russo who is a cancer for this company. That is why I mentioned Heyman and critic Heyman all you want, but the guy knows how to take no names and make them in to stars.
Because Russo has more creative knowledge, business acumen and wrestling savvy in his foreskin than you will ever accumulate in your entire lifetime. Russo is getting way more shit than he deserves. Period.
Paul Heyman's adventures are being put over by the IWC like he's some kind of wrestling god, when in reality he hasn't done jack shit for wrestling in the past ten-odd years.
What people focus on with Russo are the negatives. With Heyman, it's all about the positives. Heyman ran an organization of similar size and popularity to TNA into the fucking ground so hard it came out on the other side of the planet and kept plummeting towards fucking Jupiter, but that's dismissed as "well, he's not very good with money", but when Russo creates tons of good angles, matches and storylines, everyone keeps calling him a FUCKING MORON for making a few bad calls more than TEN YEARS AGO.
Selective memory, I hear it's this year's fad.
