I Like TNA

[MrHashasheen]

I started watching TNA after Bound For Glory. Like some, I was watching to see how bad the car-crash would get with Immortal, the nonsensical build-up and the ninjas on public television ordeal.

And it got pretty bad. The Pope seemed set for an epic face push but got sidelined into a feud with Abyss and then turned heel for no reason. The Main Event Mafia made a return and immediately had more returning members disappear, which forced the face-turn of Fortune. Crimson apparently went from Mafia back-up to Steiner/Angle and murdering Abyss on national television to getting into pissing contests with Samoa Joe, Matt Morgan had a decent face start before getting dragged into issues with Steiner and Hernadez, while Williams had a prime opportunity to team up with Magnus to face heel Beer Money and instead got irrelevant after a short interesting run with the TV Championship.

And then there was Victory Road.

I never was a fan of Jeff Hardy, but this just made it worse. Like some, I vowed to stop watching TNA. Like some, I lied. I kept watching TNA online, not posting much or saying much. But I kept getting more impressed. With the different shooting styles, the different Tron vignettes, the skillful use of veterans like Bubba Ray and Devon while trying to give younger stars decent pushes. I like Fortune. I like the tag-team division, minus Orlando Jordan. I like several of the Knockouts. I like the X-Division, for what it is now. I'm not giving up on my WWE guys like Christian, Bryan Danielson, Christian & Punk, but I'm not looking to them for my entertainment alone now.

I guess I'm starting to rambling here, but the point is, I'm a 5-year long WWE viewer who gave TNA a chance and for the most part, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

 

[Broski]

Why does it matter what people online think about you? Why would you try to hide that you watched TNA after Victory Road? If you liked it after Victory Roads, then cool beans. No use in trying to lie to everyone just to fit in.

Anyway I have quit watching TNA as of late, well at least until last night. I am going to try and get back into it since they are re-branding and at least trying to fix things. I love Foley so seeing him in charge should be pretty interesting. Maybe they will have a solid future if they focus more on wrestling now and less Immortal.

 

[Zeven_Zion]

I know where you're coming from. I was a 10 year long WWE viewer and I gave TNA a shot in late 2009, haven't missed a show since. WWE simply frustrated me too much. There would be short outbursts of something awesome and EVERY time they would fuck it up. Literally every time. I couldn't get excited about anything because I knew they would screw it up and it would disappoint me. It was annoying, frustrating and it was pissing me off. TNA on the other hand is not perfect, but no matter how silly something might be at first they always manage to find a way to make it exciting and tie the whole story together.

To me, TNA is the better product, by a long shot. I like the wrestlers better, the company's attitude, the young guys, the old guys, the storylines. There are two things about TNA that frustrate me. The iMPACT Zone and the execution of ideas. They're great ideas but they're rarely executed really well. Still, like I said, TNA fixes it as time goes by. I trust that even if they fuck up they'll do everything they can to fix it as soon as they can and give me something awesome in return, and they always deliver no matter how bad something is. The shows have been amazing since Victory Road. They know they fucked up and it looked like they manned up and delivered a string of kick-ass shows to make up for it.

And also things HAPPEN in TNA. It's a growing company, there's a lot of "firsts" which is exciting. If I said that TNA's current position as the underdog hated by all and loved by few isn't making me like it even more I'll be lying out of my ass. WWE doesn't have those things. There's always the same shit going on. Always focused on Cena and/or Orton. Same bland storylines, nothing historic, nothing exciting, nothing important. The torch isn't passed to anyone, there's not an ACTUAL influx of ACTUAL new Main Eventers. There are teases which lead to nothing. People are being pushed, we get excited, and then they're fed to Cena. Look at Nexus, look at Miz. Both fell victims to Cena. It's so cookie cutter it's just annoying. There's no passion, no emotion. TNA has that. The guys are fired up, they're passionate and their emotions are contagious.

If TNA is the better product, then why aren't they on the level of WWE? I just wanted to point that out to all of the TNA marks of the IWC. Sure I am new on WZ but I have been on enough forums/discussion boards to know how a TNA mark is. TNA used to be a good product but they were never on the level of WWE. I don't like how Hogan/Bischoff keeps hogging the spotlight every week on tv.

I also don't like Sting as Champ. Sure, the man's an icon but come on. This guy is on vacation for 4 months while guys are out there busting there ass, in TNA but yet he can come back and win the title the first night he is there. His matches aren't very entertaining anymore as he is getting older. I like Sting but he should not be World Champion. TNA is not on the level of WWE. TNA has never been on the level of WWE and their is a 99.9% chance TNA will never be on the level of WWE. They both have their fair share of mistakes but by no means is TNA a better product than WWE.

The in-ring TNA product is much better then WWE right now. I watched Impact last night and I loved the matches. The battle royal had some botches but WWE has a ridiculous amount of botches today. WWE has become to predictable with their matches compared to TNA. I have no idea who would win the matches last night compared to me watching RAW and being able to pick who would win what match.

 

[Broski]

You had no idea who would win the battle royal? I am pretty sure everyone knew it was Anderson. The Stone Cold rip off has been the center of attention on getting a title shot for months. Of course he was going to win.

Now TNA is very unpredictable alot but that isn't always a good thing. It seems like they have two or three un-needed aligment changes every month.

It's the better product for me. Clearly a lot of people don't like it, and that won't change my mind or that of any of the other TNA fans. Why TNA is not at the level of WWE? Which level? Quality wise? I believe the unbiased opinion is that quality wise both products are equal. TNA has its pluses and minuses, and so does WWE. WWE mows down TNA in ANY other department, and that's a fact. But WWE's been around for 50 years, it grew in a time when wrestling was a new thing and didn't have much competition. TNA was born in 2002, a difficult time for another wrestling company, especially right after WCW went out of business and with a gigantic WWE breathing down your neck and no money to really get something going. Sure, Panda Energy are full of cash but they don't seem to be willing to share lots of it with TNA.

McDonalds sells the most burgers in the country. Are they the best? Not really, but they still sell the most. That's what WWE's situation is like. People are used to it, they're not used to TNA. It's very difficult to follow another product when you grew up watching WWE. It was difficult for me, but fortunately - not too difficult. TNA's only chance right now is to go on the road, expose the product to different audiences and instead of bashing everyone who doesn't like them, build a solid, quality product and kill wrestling fans with kindness. Pissing them off doesn't work.

I've been watching TNA since January 4th, 2010. I had caught only one episode before that, in 2007 when I was sitting in my Vegas hotel room, bored while my new wife was sick.

I like it that first time I saw it, and decided to give it a taste, when Hogan made his triumphant return (I've always been a Hogan mark, since the '80s).

There have definitely been a few bumps, and yeah, TNA is still a little rough around the edges, but it's getting there, and I personally like TNA better than WWE. That's not a knock on WWE, of course, just my preference. I've tried watching it a few times, and I just can't get into it.

I'd say that TNA's biggest issues are putting on too many long promos, and putting on weird feuds (Jarrett/Angle, and Okato come to mind). But I'd say that TNA is mostly a solid product.

What has bothered me, time and time again, is this obsession to say that because WWE has higher ratings, it is the superior product.

Personally, I think it's up to taste, but for the sake of argument...You have to remember that WWE has brand recognition. It's been on for a long, long time, and they created names like Stone Cold, The Rock, and Hulk Hogan. They have a hell of a legacy, and that goes a long way. They are well-established in the public, and they have an advertising machine and a broad business portfolio behind them.

Meanwhile, TNA is the little engine that could. It has corporate backing, but it doesn't have as many resources as WWE does, and it doesn't have the household recognition that WWE does. What they need is to get their name out there.

I look at it like medicine. You can buy the name brand (WWE), or you can buy the generic (TNA). Exactly, the same thing. But because one sells more, doesn't mean it is superior.

Just because WWE has higher ratings does not mean they are superior. And I would say the same for TNA if they had higher ratings, as well.

 

[vampireblade]

i was a viewer of TNA starting in 2003 when i first found out bout them i watched what i could because it aired at like 3 pm or something when i was in school so i watched what i could when i could. Now around 05 i got to watch on fsn because it aired at 5pm thats when i started watching full time and been a fan ever since yea ill watch TNA every now and then but i'm in love with TNA yea ill critize but only because i want them to succeed not become wcw 2.0 never be ashamed of being a WRESTLING fan a TNA fan

 

[worldchamp101]

I like TNA as well. While I do think that there are problems that TNA needs to take of, it is a refreshing alternative to WWE (especially in the respect that TNA doesn't try to distance itself from the word wrestling). Usually I would follow TNA on wrestlezone.com but it was only recently when I started watching TNA (it has been more than a month now). You can count me as a TNA fan.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Why does it matter what people online think about you? Why would you try to hide that you watched TNA after Victory Road? If you liked it after Victory Roads, then cool beans. No use in trying to lie to everyone just to fit in.

I think I phrased it wrong. I did actually drop TNA for a month after Victory Road went down, but I started reading spoilers a few weeks after that, and a few weeks after that, I was watching again...

 

[yur_momma]

you can call a pile of crap a new name and paint it easter egg colors…its still crap. if all they did was a name change to the show then this has to be one of the funniest and least effective rebrandings ever done. the same people still run it...and it will still produce nothing but stories for the internet readers to laugh at, its the only thing they do well.

 

[crippler]

I been watching TNA since Christian won his 1st TNA championship and I liked TNA. But now we have Hogan, Flair and bischoff in TNA and since they came in its gone downhill. Now its become a show 70% about Hogan sad part is nobody cares about Hogan anymore before when it was about the Stars it was a good show. Maybe if they take Hogans time down to where Hogan, Flair and Bishchoff isn't on camera every week and so much or get rid of them the show will be good again.

Maybe and maybe the ratings will fall into oblivion. Look yes Hogan, Flair and Bischoff may be on tv too often, but thats because some people tune in to watch them on tv. You need old names to be on TV with new stars to create interest. Why do you think WWE welcomed back The Rock, Austin, Trish Stratus, Nash, JBL and Booker-T in the past months? Oh yeah thats right, people wanted to see the old names back. Why do you think ROH struggles to get a TV deal? Oh yeah thats right, because except for Haas and Benjamin they have no real wrestling stars.

The torch isn't passed to anyone, there's not an ACTUAL influx of ACTUAL new Main Eventers. There are teases which lead to nothing. People are being pushed, we get excited, and then they're fed to Cena. Look at Nexus, look at Miz. Both fell victims to Cena. It's so cookie cutter it's just annoying. There's no passion, no emotion. TNA has that. The guys are fired up, they're passionate and their emotions are contagious.

Again, you're comparing apples to oranges. The WWE brand has completely changed what their company is about to a PG version of pro wrestling. For many that means they will no longer like it because there's not enough blood, chair shots, or women barely dressed promising to "service" the boss to get ahead.

Impact, as it's now known, is more about the blood, and shall we say, scantily clad women? Which is fine. If that's who you are, that's who you are. But it doesn't change the fact that the production qualities are so dissimilar and that's the part that makes all of this different.

Impact clearly needs the tapings to get what they want out of a show, whereas Raw is, for the most part, live television. I read earlier today that Impact had to retape the Foley/Hogan segment a second time and I've read in the past where they've had to retape segments in order to get them right.

Just last night when I was watching the backstage segment with Bischoff, Hogan, and Flair it seemed out of sync. The segment at the end where Anderson was ranting just sounded like babbling and he apparently and unwittingly gave away the ending to the Sting/RVD main event at their next PPV. Oops! Either that or now we know that RVD is going to be your winner, but that wouldn't make much sense given the heat we've had with Anderson and Sting as of late. My guess is Sting wins and he and Anderson go at it at Slammiversary.

Then there was last night during the battle royal where Bully Ray had been eliminated but they edited as much of that out as they could so that he and Anderson were the last remaining in the match. Just sloppy execution/production on all levels and they've had more than enough time to iron out these kinds of issues.

Then there was Dreamer going after Jarrett during the battle royal last night, even though he's doing the bidding of an Immortal member in Bully Ray. Didn't make any sense. Pope had no heat with anyone last night as he's been dropped off tv as of late. Just lots of garbled messages with them again last night and I don't see it changing.

look WWE fan boy this thread is for TNA Fans note the op titled the thread I Like TNA not hey lets all bash on TNA for changing their name and last time i checked the wrestling on TNA was 20x better then what the WWE produces

lol you people need new tactics. simply accusing anyone who criticizes tna as a wwe mark is fucking childish. i expressed my opinion, if your butthurt too bad. but dont go embarrassing yourself by calling me a wwe mark, both products are shit and the only reason i know whats going on is because i listen to the pwr show on youtube. i actually watched the chyna debut last night and thats it but that is the most wrestling ive watched since wm. and before that i dont even know, so with that segment ive actually watched tna more than wwe in the last few weeks.

only two things can happen when you diss tna:

1. you get called a wwe mark. for no reason. out of nowhere. without a shred of proof or history of pro wwe posts or anything. its just reaction from tna fans. you butthurt them by pointing out flaws in their product so they have to make themselves feel better by calling you names. its so second grade behavior.

2. the subject gets immediately changed to what wwe does. "well wwe doesnt do this right either" "look at what wwe did with so-and-so" etc...

you did both.

 

[AntiChristDeicide]

Then there was Dreamer going after Jarrett during the battle royal last night, even though he's doing the bidding of an Immortal member in Bully Ray.

Brian in Austin, its a Royal Rumble wich means its everyman for himself. Did you notice that Hernandez didn't help Anarquia even though they are in the same faction? Even in Fortune they didn't help eachother.

i was merely pointing out that this was not a bash tna thread it was a i like tna thread and you say you have not watched wrestling since wm but instead listen to a show on youtube yea thats a real wrestling fan right there

 

[yur_momma]

i was merely pointing out that this was not a bash tna thread it was a i like tna thread and you say you have not watched wrestling since wm but instead listen to a show on youtube yea thats a real wrestling fan right there

no you were merely butthurt and decided to use the same two sad tactics we have all seen time and time again. in case you forgot them, reread my post. dont backstep now and try to ignore you called me out by saying: i was merely directing you to the thread title.

lol im 36 and ive seen it all. on top of that wrestling sucks ass and has, for at the very least, 8 years now. so my days of being a "watch every week and be emotionally invested enough to buy ppv's" days are probably over. when your 36 see how much time you can find to squeeze in wrestling shows full of stars you dont really care about...and for promotions who care even less about themselves. pwr puts out about 3 hrs a week of content and its nice to listen to while doing dishes or yardwork instead of having to sit and suffer through 20 minute long boring promos...and even those spend half of their time needlessly retelling what happened last week. half of every show today is just replays of last week.

anyway, you know youve won a discussion when the person turns away from the topic and talks about what wwe does and then personally attacks you. so thank you. youve been extremely typical in your responses, its like you tna supporters are all cut with the same cookie cutter and are fed the same lines to use over and over.

 

[blkshp]

Here's my issue with TNA, aka Impact Wrestling: while they do put in a stronger in ring product then WWE these days, they have a constant need to react to everything WWE does. I don't know why they feel like they need to, clearly Vince just doesn't seem to care about them as any legitimate rival at all, so why do they have to react to him? For example, changing the the name to Impact Wrestling, I have a feeling this may have been thrown around in marketing for a few months, but I believe (and this is my belief, not a fact) that they pulled the trigger on it specifically to try and snatch wrestling fans butthurt by WWE not using the term wrestling anymore (even though ITS STILL THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT AS IT WAS WHEN THEY STILL CALLED THEMSELVES WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT, I said that in all caps because its stupid imo to whine about them not using one word but staying the same, seriously, who cares?). And I agree with another person who posted it on here that it was the worst rebranding rollout ever! Lol. So fine, their Impact Wrestling now, ok whatever, so now what changes next? Are they going to cut long winded promos down? More importantly are they going to just say to themselves "screw WWE, that's their own thing they got the name brand and the never ending cash flow, so let's stop worrying about competing directly with them (who again, never even acknowledges us anyway), and be a better wrestling company by doing things are way". If they took that attitude and put it into their product, then I'd personally respect them more. Now they seem like a little brother desperately trying to prove they can outdo big brother...it aint happening.

 

[Mjolnir]

Vampireblade- Obviously this 36 year old dude would rather watch some Grey's Anatomy on Thursday nights... period. Then he likes to come on to a pro-TNA discussion thread and show everyone how stupid you are/pick apart your replies with his 'superior' logic about how there is nothing new under the sun. Genius. Let's get an application ready for the MacArthur Genius Grant. I agree with you 100%, watch it because you want to watch it, and because you get enjoyment from watching it. I for one think that pro wrestling is an escape from the boring everyday reality (e.g. washing yur_momma's dishes), and it should be treated as such. Don't let %$$#@%^$ like this get to you. Besides... TNA has Beer Money.

 

[RD_21]

So by your logic if you turn away from what the thread is you win.

Well you cam into a thread about people expressing what they like about TNA and you did a troll post saying TNA was crap and even if they changed the name of it it would still be crap.

So by your logic you already lost the thread. Or maybe you meant to post in the TNA rebranding thread, not the I Like TNA?

And when I say that your post is one of a troll, it's because you gave no reason for it, people talk about what they like and you come here acting like a WWE mark (and I couldn't care less if you are or not a WWE mark) and you blast the product without providing any basis, so in short you are acting like someone who is blindly spreading what he heard around.

Maybe you are more intelligent then your first post is leading and maybe you are older than 12 years old, but when you make a post like you did, you can't try to blast or pick a fight with everyone who will point trolling nature of your post because they don't know you and they can only go by your post.

But to be honest when I first saw your first post I couldn't help but roll my eyes saying another idiots who blow things out or proportion, whether you are or aren't.

 

[go_patriots11]

I've been watching WWF/E since the late 80's early 90's and have not been any less interested in it's product than right now. So much Focus on Cena/Orton who, are in my mind, 2 of the most blandest, boring, emotionless characters ever! And are perceived to be future legends! BS!!
I can pinpoint when I stopped watching (wrestling) for a time all together, it was about 2004, but really got back into it within the last year and a half, and while there are a few things in WWE I do like right now, TNA has really stood out to me as the better product. I think they do have the better roster by opinion of course, but like someone said they are not ashamed to call themselves a wrestling company. While there are a few flaws in TNA most posters have pointed out alot of the issues I have already, I would just like to add my 2 cents.
1. Jeff Jarrett as a "main eventer"- Yes I know this is basically his company but most of my Wrestling exposure was from WWE and I hated him and never really could see him as much more than a glorified jobber. If Jarrett was to have less airtime, I definately wouldn't mind.
2. Samoa Joe - Back when TNA was taking off I heard alot about SAmoa Joe and how great he was. I tuned in to TNA to watch this guy and was not impressed in the slightest. Then he became champion and that really deterred me from watching. Now again this all comes back to personal opinion, but I could relate this to WWE anytime Orton is champ and gets major airtime. I cannot stand orton and feel he has the most robotic personality. I cringe anytime he is on, and Yes I would probably take Joe over Orton anyday.
So now as a casual wrestling fan. Tuning in here and there and schedule related issues (Nightshift) I would call myself a fan of both companies. Both have their strong/weak points, but if I had to give you an answer on who I like better right now it would be TNA.

The in-ring TNA product is much better then WWE right now.

That's the biggest load of horseshit I've read in quite some time. Anyone with even the slightest semblance of objectivity can tell that the WWE is CLEARLY miles ahead of TNA when it comes to in-ring product, for various reasons. WWE has much more programming per week, so you get way more quality matches on TV in a week than you do on Impact in a month, not to mention WWE's PPVs blow TNA PPVs right the fuck out of the water when it comes to in-ring work. Fuck just look at last week in the WWE, you had a damn good 10 minute title match on RAW between Cena and Miz, you had two good 10 minute plus matches on Superstars, and then you had an awesome 20 minute main event on Smackdown. As opposed to TNA last week which had....what again? Oh right, the usual 4 minute matches that never get any time to develop whatsoever. And when it comes to PPV? Please, not even a contest. Extreme Rules was better than any PPV TNA has had in a long, long, LONG time. Easily better than any PPV that TNA has had since the Fall of 2009. WWE Superstars on average features far more in-ring wrestling than Impact does each week, and that's WWE's C-show, which is half the length that Impact is.

There are plenty of things to like about TNA, but trying to claim the in-ring product is better is so laughably incorrect that I nearly spit up my coffee while reading your post.
