That's the same attitude that people spat forth when Nitro debuted. A little friendly competition wouldn't hurt. Besides, I myself watch TNA because I'm a fan of wrestling, as I imagine the other viewers are. I wasn't an idiot who stuck around because I was watching the Ultimate Fighter. TNA to fall apart in 2 years? They make most of their money off merchandising and DVD sales. Not by advertising revenue, which is what the TV show generates. They have the main eventers to challenge anybody. They don't have the existing foothold and decades-old exposure that WWE does. If WWE started out fresh the way the way they are now...they'd fold in only a MONTH. Jarrett has kept the title because he is the biggest heel in terms of scooping heat and the promotion is his baby. He's like Triple H (who had his shots because he humped the bosses' daughter) or Ric Flair (in his prime) who was always solid on the mic. It's always better going into a PPV to watch the face chase the heel with the belt. This is why Wrestlemania almost always has the face win the title each year and the season resets itself. The same cycle has been going for many years now. And FYI, there are plenty of main-eventers in TNA, but they don't need to wear gold to be important to the fans. They can wrestle good. That actually counts for some people.DeathIsARight said:
The fact you championed Monty Brown just removed any credibility you may have ever had. He's the black Batista. He couldn't entertain a crowd past ten minutes if he spontaneously combusted (for proof watch the World Title shot he got against Christian a while back...it was as entertaining as watching snails mate). He's a one trick pony that is only good to watch hit his finisher then spout a catchphrase and get the hell off TV. Yes, Cena was given the "main event" slot. He's still shit in the ring, though. His gimmick was successful, not his wrestling. Want proof? Watch Wrestlemania 21. Both main events were upstaged by a old man from San Antonio taking on Kurt Angle in a clear display of who really should be sporting the gold. I've watched more WWE than you could imagine...and Triple H got his entrenched spot in the company because he's porking Vince's daughter. He's good...but not "that damn good." I still remember Jean Paul Levesque back from his WCW days when he was actually semi-talented and had a large arsenal of moves. If anything, he deserved more props for those days than for what he does now in the ring. The only difference now is that he spits Evian before a match, hosts the Mr. O, and hires Motorhead to take a dump on their own legacy by playing a Wrestlemania.DeathIsARight said:
I guess thats why the dudleys are against it. Jarrett hogs that belt to the point where even the fans want it off him. TNA has very few main eventers, because to be called a maineventer you have to be....SHOCK...In the mainevent! Most of TNA's talent is held back, hence Monty Brown, their best future talent LEFT! Did you watch last years Mania? WHo held the belt? Face Cena or Heel Triple H? CENA DID!
Triplw H is an excellent wrestler and got the belt because he was GOOD! If you actually watched WWE you would know that! There are NO TNA wrestlers near him as thanks to the hour broadcast they can't show anything! Most matches are fast and boring, but you think thats awesome...
FYI, if you actually had watched Nitro, you would know they had a lot of talent! Like Flair, Sting, Luger, Hogan, Savage, Pillman, and people like Jimmy Hart and mean gene okerlund! For cryin out loud, Flar wrestled sting on the FIRST show! They had a lot of talent and huge names! But you didn't know that!
No, in 1988 it was called the National Wrestling Alliance. It didn't officially disregard the NWA moniker until after Ted Turner bought it complete from Bill Watts sometime later. No, I didn't lose all respect because I actually have well crafted opinions to back it up why I think Levesque is way overrated by most WWE marks. Triple H is a solid worker, but hardly worthy of all of his time on the belt(s). HBK isn't bad these days, but he's a damn shell of his former self, but then again, he's back in the ring to pay his bills from the incident at the T.W.A. a few years back. His repertoire is very limited by comparison to his heyday and he's become a routine man (much like Flair) instead of the groundbreaking American wrestler deserving of the moniker "The Showstopper." The only times he has shown his original self was during matches with guys like Jericho or Angle. Otherwise, his matches are snoozers where I can call three or four spots out ahead of time, in sequence. He used to come out of left field and scare the hell out of me with what he did in the ring.DeathIsARight said:
