Hellooooooooooo! Damn, imitating Mrs. Doubtfire is much difficult in writing., But anyway, this thread is about discussion just as much as it is about recognition and I apologize if this is in the wrong place or maybe not being as activ-o on the forums, but 'ere goes:
Tonight, as I type this, I am watching TNA. I am not a fan-boy of WWE, but I have been watching the show since I was a in me wee diapers and nipple-feining stage. This is not a WWE bash or praise thread (though whoever par-takes may do both), but rather a recognition of TNA. I've watched TNA here and there when they've first started and they came a looooooong way. Some argue that ol' hulkster did some things to TNA that were more detrimental than benefit, and maybe they're right, but no one can deny that the talent on the show is immense! It boggles me and Im actually offended that TNA is not popular as it should be. I'll be the first to admit that I disliked it back in the mid 2000's but now, I would be proud to be called a TNA fanboy (though Im not? eyeeee guess? *shrugs*).
TNA, whether you want to admit it or not (Yes you WWE fans), is an amazing product. Talent is amazing and many many, MANY of 'em seem to either know they're way around the mic, or growing to it. Story lines are generally strong (could be stronger, but when you think about it, TNA is in it's pre-teen stage, about to hit puberty. Plenty of time to get stronger) Commentary is not as lackluster as I often hear (and read; you again WWE fans, stop being biased). The women in the Knockout division are wrestlers 1st, fans of the business 2nd, and models 3rd, how it should be. I did not like the Octo-ring as it felt too gimmicky and I felt it look awkward when the wrestlers ran against the ropes (Sometimes it looked like Christian didn't know which rope he wanted to run into). TNA is awesome and deserves to be recognized as a top competitor, not second tier. It's a shame its not taken too seriously yet, though it should.
TNA has definitely earned a hardcore fan in the past 2 years, and thats not to say I will shun WWE. I'm a wrestling fan, not a company fan, and I feel thats the problem as to why TNA cannot get a decent break. As a result, TNA may feel scared (rightfully so with the current gang mentality of fans) to really branch out. They are doing it slowly but surely, but they are taking some serious baby steps.
What say you? I'm curious.
What are your thoughts of the current TNA product?
Would you order the PPVs or pirate it?
Why do you think TNA can't get a decent break? Is it external or an internal source holding them back?
***BONUS STAGE Question? What Mid-card WWE WRESTLER do you think could be in TNA and actually shake things up, IE: The Steve Austin effect.
Thanks fo' yo' eyes!
