It really shows how biased a lot of WWE fans are against TNA, I mean 24% voting for a 0 is absolutely ridiculous. BFG had flaws but 0 is inexcusable. I'll bet 90% of the people who voted 0 did not even watch the show. It's very sad that a lot of WWE marks refuse to give TNA a chance.

Or maybe it's just that people thought the show was crap and there isn't actually some anti-TNA conspiracy in progress, or maybe you're right and really Vince has people paid to log on here and vote 0% for BFG...*rolls eyes*

i agree with the remark about the wwe marks who dont order the TNA ppvs then vote and give it an F rating BFG wasnt the best PPV of the year "Slamiversary" but it wasnt the worst either "Sacrafice"
Oh, c'mon. Are you trying to tell me you don't think people vote a "0" because they didn't see the PPV and are inherently biased, making that vote out of some kind of twisted loyalty to WWE? That's exactly why I think people vote as much.
For a PPV to truly rank a "0," it would have to be absolutely AWFUL. Beyond awful, actually, like to the point where it doesn't even deliver the matches it promises.
I didn't see the PPV, so I didn't personally vote. However, every report indicates that the Ultimate X match alone would have earned the PPV a rating better than Zero.

Are you not then claiming that although you didn't see it, you think it deserves more than a zero and that your opinion is thus somehow different to that of those who you claim didn't see it but gave it the zero in the first place?

0 Stars 24% (858 votes)
You are totally right, for a ppv to warrant 0 stars it must have been terrible, every single match being totally fucking awful.
Even the E havent done that yet in my opinion, although theyve come very close on occasion.
The 858 people (and no doubt counting) clearly didnt see the show, end of.
If people "dont want to give tna a chance" then thats their perogative, after all theres a shit load of wrestling on tv at the moment so adding another 2 hours a week and 3 one sunday a month is pretty time consuming.
But Id appreciate if those people who dont watch TNA would stop bashing it.
Did you watch the show?
Just out of curiosity.
In fact I dont even know why Im bringing your post to more prevelant attention, your clearly an idiot.
Not for you blatent anti-TNA bias.
Just you have presented the single stupidest argument I think Ive ever encountered.
Nobody mentioned Vince, paying a group of people to blindly follow his will against the wrestling industry as a whole.
After all, hes got 858, one of which Im sure is you, idiots who'll happilly to it for free.

I agree 100%. How is it, that the 1/5 option only got a very small fraction of people to vote for it. But the 0/5 got 25%?
If it truly sucked as much as the people who gave it 0's thought, then wouldn't there be more votes for the 1/5? It would be more of a gradient wouldn't it? With 0 getting the most, then 1, then 2, etc.
But the fact is, 0/5 got the most hits, then 4/5 got the most, then 5/5. the 4's and 5's and 3's add up to 65% of the total vote showing the majority of people thought it was at least average to better.
And lastly, how is 0 even an option? Like, if the PPV went black screen right when it started that's a 0. Anything else, no matter how much it sucked, would be a 1/5
.
I really do think some dumbasses that visit the site everyday, but didn't see the PPV, clicked 0 on it just because it's there and they hate tna for whatever reasons.

That's why you never trust online polls. There's no regulation and nothing to stop someone from voting more than once.
I watched Bound For Glory and thought it was a great show, but that's my opinion and no poll is going to change the way I feel about it. I think it's kind of silly to have 0 as an option in the poll and those who voted that way probably didn't even watch. To them I say "your loss".

I gave it a 1(woo AJ), TNA has had ppvs worthy of a 0 espicially their previous 4. So don't believe that everyone is just a mark. They should consider lowering the price to 20 dollars a PPV though. This is all my opinion of course, some people are going to consider the product shit some won't.

Hm... 0 stars for TNA! What else is new, is there anything else to report? Nothing? How about how a fan said F TNA? I still find it amazing though how much rebellious anti-TNA people are out there. Often I place my assumptions on Vince Russo for the cause, and alternative times I believe TNA just isn't their beloved "fall from grace to watered down sideshow hollywood" WWE. Nonetheless, I believe it's unreasonably unjust to give TNA, or any other company events for that matter a 0, that's nothing but ignorance. But ignorance is bliss with TNA haters. I rest my case.

First of all, yes i did watch the show as i try to catch as much wrestling from WWE and TNA as i can, secondly my 'argument' as you put t was basically sarcasm...ever heard of it? The point im trying to make is that you were assuming that there are all these TNA-hating marks out there, when in reality, the product just isn't as good as WWE, sure it's got some interest and all, but it's just not as good and so it is unfortunately going to get a 0 as it was a bad show but still worse than a low scoring WWE PPV so in comparison, 0 is the only possibly result for these people to give the PPV and it doesn't mean they all hate TNA and haven't watched it or given it a chance, you can't know that anyway, since as you rightly stated their is no way to screen the people who vote and people can vote multiple times. So you're Anti-TNA theory is purely speculation and has no truely factual base and is as possible as my sarcastic Nazi-Vince theory. Fact of the matter is, it was just a bad show...get over it...move on

If YOU'RE going to rip the guy for his opinion and call him an idiot at least make sure you get the shit in your post right so you don't wind up looking like an idiot. Sorry pet peeve. If you're arrogant enough to call someone an idiot just make sure you're getting shit right.
As far as the poll goes why stress over it? There are just as many anti-WWE people who do the exact same thing. Besides I seriously doubt that there are 858 different people who voted 0 for the PPV. But more like 10 who voted over and over again.

There's the problem in a nutshell. You made a good point over-all and then turned around and compared it to a different company (WWF'ingE). Why not judge TNA productions on its own merits rather than comparing apples to peaches.
I remember there was and still may be an article on line about "how" to watch professional wrestling. In that story it was said that if you are a fan of soap opera style writing and drama, watch (at that time) WWF. If you are more of a sports enthusiast, watch WCW.
That is the main difference today. WWF'ingE is still soap opera while TNA is wrestling...just like it says on the marquee.
