Getting Noticed By Management
Ok, I will give TNA props for this that they have built this thing up quite a bit over the last few months. Some of it has been entertaining *cough*Anderson*cough* but that's the kind of guy Anderson is. Besides that though I really have been sick of seeing RVD and Sting feuding with Anderson in the main event scene. You want to talk about WWE guys getting lost in the shuffle? It happens even more often in TNA.
I made a thread about this in January but it got deleted. Allow me to put some more thoughts into this right now. Since I am boycotting Smackdown due to a certain match that happened last night, I'll only be watching Impact and RAW until a certain someone loses a certain something.
WWE has had their youth movement. This was what drove me away from wrestling in 2007. We always got the same old people. Why did I start watching again? Fresh faces in the title picture. It was refreshing. Sheamus winning at TLC 2009 got me into wrestling again. It then followed up with the likes of Jack Swagger and The Miz. Say what you will about their title reigns but I'm definitely a huge fan of all three.
I just have to ask: where is TNA's Youth Movement? Why is everybody getting lost in the shuffle? Why do Hogan and Bischoff not have faith in pushing homegrown talent or fresh peope for the main event? It really drives me up a wall. I've been a huge Anderson mark and I marked pretty damn hard when he won the title in January. Then he drops it back a month later. This really pissed the fuck out of me and he hasn't gotten it back since. It was the first time since Samoa Joe in 2008 that someone who was never a World Champion in WWE or TNA that got to see the belt.
And no, I'm not saying I want to see the TNA World Title passed around like a hot potato either but it really upsets me how they have no one waiting in the wings. How no one is getting close to main event ready when there are a lot of guys they have.
You have Kazarian- nice look, incredible wrestling skills and good mic skills. Yet he gets very little time as X Division Champion.
You have Robert Roode who also has basically the complete package. Where on Earth is he in the main event scene?
The Pope D'Angelo Dinero. People always talk about how blacks don't measure up in wrestling. Pope is one of two guys in wrestling (the other being Kofi) who could possibly work as champ. Especially Pope with his outstanding mic skills. If Elijah Burke was pushed to the main event in WWE I think it would've worked. Or at least better than their other talent.
I'm really impressed with Crimson. Hopefully he gets the TV title soon and continues his undefeated streak.
Not sure if we'll ever see Desmond Wolfe on TV. Too bad.
Daniels, Williams and Hernandez are all getting up there but I think they would do just fine in the ME scene. Maybe it's just that I'm a Williams mark but he is TNA's version of Christian for me.
I understand that it's a business and all but it's not like the business is thriving or anything. It's not like it's posing a serious threat to WWE. Would TNA really go out of business if they gave someone new a main event push? In fact I think they are on their path to going out of business if they keep up this same formula.
I love TNA. Though it can be irritating at times it does serve a nice alternative to WWE. They have a bunch of talented guys I just listed who I wouldn't mind as main eventers or at least to be tried in the main event scene. So TNA please, wherever you're going with this formula of RVD/Anderson/Sting, I just hope you finish it soon.
