TNA Not Allowed To Acknowledge AAA

[ABMorales787]

At first, I was under the impression that the AAA Championship belt was redesigned to fit storylines in both companies. Turns out, it's a sticker to cover up the fact it's from AAA. Not only that, but Jack Evans, a AAA wrestler, went his entire run in TNA last month never being billed as being borrowed from the promotion. As if that weren't enough, in AAA itself TNA wrestlers act as a heel faction aligned with Konnan's own "Foreign Legion". Simply put, the relationship TNA and AAA seems to be a pretty selfish one. The AAA Championship looks more like a lousy perk and most probably cannot be defended in TNA, AAA seems reluctant to lend talent as shown by last month and they get pretty much full use of TNA's own resources.

Exposure for TNA is great and all, but how could they allow themselves to be used like this? TNA talent headlined Triplemania. AAA biggest PPV. They have become top heels there. Yet TNA can't rely on them to borrow talent for the freakin' X Division, in which Lucha Libre stars would fit right in. Or utilize the very title the freakin' founder of TNA holds. While we're at it, what the hell ever happened to Zorro? He's under TNA contract last I checked.

AAA is trying to expand into the US. TNA already has a Mexican fanbase. I can't feel but see this relationship as only benefiting AAA. TNA, in my eyes can get so much more, but they aren't getting it.

By the way, it's "Doble J (pronounced -hota-". Not "Los Double J" or whatever.

I wondered why they never mention AAA in TNA. And I also noticed the little sticker, or faceplate added to the AAA title...it's pretty terrible. I never thought about the business details though. I'm gonna look into that I think!

I have also noticed that tna never mention them like why is the aaa title look like dat and y wuld you have immortal on your main title they trade stars but never metioning aaa im sure aaa bragging about tna and using their stars to the best of the ability but it doesnt really benefit tna metioning aaa

 

[The "Blueprint"]

TNA is getting the better deal. Their stars are down in Mexico getting over and main eventing while no-one from AAA is getting recognition. AAA's heavyweight championship is being paraded around on JJ's shoulder every week and he won't even recognize where it came from. Not to mention it's a bit disgraceful to deface the title with a sticker. How can AAA expand into the US without even getting a mention on national television?

Didn't they lose their contract on Galavision in the US? I'm from Australia so I wouldnt be sure but last I heard, AAA's weekly shows werent being shown in the US. Add to the fact that TNA isn't allowed/wont name which mexican promotion they have invaded, think its still pretty much a win for TNA.

Also, what the fuck is going on with Zorro? And while we're at it, Reid Flair anyone? I have seen these blokes on the TNA roster page for 2 years and am yet to see either one debut in the Impact zone. Are TNA blowing smoke up our arse or something?

It's SPIKE, who does not allow TNA to mention any other promotions. It's the same reason why in storyline they're calling SPIKE "The Network", because they aren't allowed to name them.

Zorro, as far as I know, is not under TNA contract. They fucked up with the visa about 4 months ago (I was told this 4 months ago, so it may be more). Reid Flair, for sure, is not under TNA contract.

Get_Ready_To_Fly, Zorro is suppose to start sometime in the near future and Reid Flair is suppose to go to WWE.

Now back on topic, yeah its strange that TNA didn't mentioned AAA but i guess they took a page of the book of Vince Mcmahon and don't want to acknowledge that there is another company in North America. Did you notice that when Christopher Daniels returned and joined Fortune, that they (TNA) didn't say that he was in ROH? Another thing, the sticker on the title i didn't even notice it until i read it here. I just Assumed that the title looked that way.

I've been wondering why TNA never mentions AAA, despite AAA mentioning their name on television. The sticker on the belt we see on Impact makes the title look fugly - I think it gives a bad impression to people who've never seen the belt, which leads to them dismissing the AAA world title as a cheap hunk of metal.

 

[Dizzy]

I don't think they can't acknowledge, I think they simply don't want too. They have never promoted any of their stars going down to AAA. And It's already been stated that some TNA Wrestlers have a problem with AAA and how dirty, disgusting and rowdy the fans are towards them.

TNA had a feud with AAA and it was never mentioned on TV. I feel AAA is a maid and TNA is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I think the last time TNA mentioned ROH was back in 2006. They don't discuss any lesser promotions, ironically.

That's funny, they mention WWE by name fairly often yet according to you they can't name other promotions . hmmm

and no, they are calling "The Network" because it's a generic term meaning the heads of The Network on which they exist is controling what they do. DER!!! and Spike is a network. and they wouldn't be airing on Spike in other countries would they. They certainly don't air on Spike TV in Australia we don't even have Spike TV. Also it's just a rehash of what they did in WCW, where towards then end, they ran a storyline where a Network board was throwing there weight around, Miss Handcock aka "Stacey Kieblier" was the representative (TNA's version being Miss Tessmarker) and Jeff Jarret had all the stroke and they were trying to rid WCW of Hogan/Bischoff and what was left of the nWo controling everything. Sound familiar?

And the commentry team does mention Spike TV being there hosts anyway and occasionaly what show is coming up after them.

So there goes that theory.

as for AAA, well if they did mention it and people watched they might see some similarities in the supposed TNA original concepts. or maybe it's just fear people might actually turn off and tune into watch AAA on the internet instead. lol But seriously do you really think Jeff Jarrett went to Mexico and won a world title then came back and they would let it slide that they get no advertising if it's what really happened.? It's a generic title for a generic crap storyline.

TNA put a sticker on the Title. That made me laugh seeing those pictures. I tried to watch AAA once but the commentary was in Spanish and I couldn't find any in English, so ultimately didn't see much. I didn't know what their World Title looked like so just assumed it looked like the one Jarrett has. Didn't realise it was a sticker on the actual Championship. Ha ha

I'm not sure why TNA never mention AAA because if you didn't follow wrestling online, you would have no idea they have some sort of working relationship. Perhaps it's just the old wrestling business mentality, in that you only mention a company if it's bigger than you. WWE don't mention anyone, TNA mention WWE, ROH mention TNA, AAA mention TNA and so on?
