What do you think of Kurt Angle's TNA theme?

 

[klunderbunker]

Like most TNA themes, it's just ok.

 

[The_Reptile_]

And with that I have to ask, what is your favorite TNA theme?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably the Guns or Longnecks and Rednecks. I have them both on my iPod. Oh and AJ's old theme.

Did the Internet make wrestling fans stupid or were they stupid to begin with? Reading the comments on the main page makes me think it's the latter.

 

[Remix]

We were always stupid. The Internet just gave us the tools to show it. There's an old usenet thing that goes back to the AE that shows the IWC of the day bitching about the same things we do now.

Why doesn't TNA go really edgy?

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Could Austin Aries possibly the face of TNA if built up right?

They've always been stupid.

Hogan can't do edgy.

Maybe but it's hard to make someone the face of anything. They have to click.

 

[PlayTheGame]

Don't you think though that TNA going extremely attitude era-esque would appeal to a niche audience and bring in more viewers? I feel like they're being too safe, but they have an opportunity to try to close the gap that they aren't seeing/taking.

It might but if you do that you have to go full bore.

How do feel on the rumors of Aries/Styles main eventing Destination X?

 

[PlayTheGame]

True. I think it makes sense for them since they're not really making up much ground with their current format.

I listened to a Kurt Angle shoot from 08 or 09, and he said something like "this is the year" TNA's going to really compete with WWE, and he said that within a year they'd be significantly bigger, and it sounded like he really believed what he was saying, not just bs-ing. Now it's 2012 and their ratings have barely changed.

That it'll make the X Division seem like something that matters for about two weeks and then it'll be back to normal.

I've heard that for years about TNA. I'm still waiting.

With rumors circulating about a possible resurgence of cruiserweights something popped into my head, and I think you've touched on it before. Do cruiserweights just need to go out and put on fun matches with stories thrown in? Is that the best formula to go with when talking about cruiserweights?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. There's a lot of money to be made just going out there, doing flips and popping the crowd. A TON of guys in WCW made very nice careers out of it.

So are you saying AA hasn't been doing a good job with X title KB?

He has but I'm not sure how you connected what I said to that statement.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

He has but I'm not sure how you connected what I said to that statement.

It just seemed like the way you said make the title seem important for about two weeks and then go back to being normal I just thought you think AA hasn't really been bringing credibility back to the title.

 

[klunderbunker]

No. The title hasn't meant jack in years and DX last year made it seem important for about two weeks. I'm assuming that's what they're doing this year.

 

[The_Reptile_]

So if HHH/Lesnar happens at No Way Out as is rumored, I'm thinking Punk/Lesnar happens at Summerslam for the title. What do you think?

 

[klunderbunker]

That would make sense and it's one of the many ways they could go.

 

[CH David]

Do you eat anything while you watch Raw or do you eat beforehand and then watch?

 

[klunderbunker]

Beforehand.

 

[CH David]

Any meal in particular? I think NorCal goes for Taco Bell. I do when I watch after work.
