Senshi has no personality at all he tries to be this badass but he just isn't putting it over well, Abyss(Big Boss Man/Mankind Ripoff) isn't the best big guy in the biz Ron Killings is nothing more than another John Cena who by the way wants out of his TNA contract to go to WWE, as far as bad gimmicks TNA was using the USA vs Canada thing that died out in the early to mid 90's in the WWE, thank god they finally killed it, not to mention VKM, (how petty can you be) Daniels and Sabin have nothing in skills compared to the Greatest Ric Flair, RVD, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mestrio Jr., Chris Benoit, C.M. Punk, and as far as big men no one is better then Taker, Kane, and the Big Show and lets not forget that if it wasn't for the WWE rejects that now work their TNA wouldn't even exist, i.e. Jeff Jarret, Christian Cage, Rhino, Raven, Kurt Angle, VKM, Dudleys, jeff hardy who is now back with WWE, and a much better performer then Sabin and Daniels, not to mention most skits done in TNA were done by WWE 10 years ago, in every aspect WWE is better than TNA, i not knockin TNA it's still a decent program but it's no where in comparrsion to the WWE product or the quality of wrestlers
Senshi is not about personality. You've missed the point of his entire game by a long shot because it flew WAY over your head. He's about workrate and being a shooter's shooter. He's not about "WWE-style" bull$hit gimmickry and phony storyline work. He's about wrestling. Period.
Abyss, many would say, IS the best big man in the business. He can sell, move with a purpose (unlike Kane and Undertaker's slow asses), and can work with nearly anyone and make it look good. The next time Kane is able to do that, I'll be able to look out my living room window and watch a pig shoot through the sky.
Killings is a Cena ripoff? Where the hell have you been? He was doing the hip-hop schtick when John Cena was languishing in UPW as the f**king "Prototype." Difference between the two, aside from skin color, is that Cena can't work his way out of a wet grocery bag, and Killings spanks his ass in the in-ring department...hands down.
The USA/Canada angle was used in the late 90's, slick. Try 1997 to be exact, and from where it stands the racial angles in TNA have been pulling in a hell of a lot more genuine heat than any of the garbage on Monday, Tuesday, or Friday nights that WWE $hits out. VKM is funny because it makes fun of the horse$hit that WWE has stooped to. HHH was awesome this last year when he flushed a half decade worth of character development down the $hitter by reviving a dead gimmick that should've stayed dead.
Not to rain on your "kiss all WWE talent's ass" parade, but Flair hasn't been remotely worth his money since 1990 and you can take that to the bank. He should've stayed retired long before the turn of the millenium and he keeps dragging his legend through the mud each week. RVD is a shell of his former self and couldn't recapture his legit ECW glory if his life depended on it. HBK works at half speed and has an eighth of the creativity and skill he used to display. HHH is a solid performer, but he's definitely spent too much time juicing and hitting the gym to understand that he's going to be crippled if he keeps dicking around. Misterio Jr. is another watered-down product of WWE creative that is a worse shell of his former self than RVD and HBK combined. He used to break barriers in terms of wrestling creativity and I loved it at ONS when the fans gave him a shellacking for doing his predictable WWE bull$hit instead of earning his money like he used to. Benoit and Punk are great, but are being wasted and are also be used only to a small fraction of their abilities. Ranting and raving about how great they are isn't really going to change the fact that they'll both probably just be wasted like RVD until their talent deteriorates until they're basically done. Taker and Kane should've retired five years ago (and I'm being very nice). Kane moves about as fast as Mae West and Undertaker's gimmick only strikes a chord with those people who have I.Q.'s that are equivalent to their shoe size. Big Show needs to stick to things he's best (wrestling definitely not being one of them) like buffets and pie-eating contests as he's also a boring, immobile waste of airtime. I bet you're going to tell me that Khali is the future of wrestling, right?
Only about half of the guys you mentioned in your TNA run-off were even developed by the WWF/E. The rest were made famous elsewhere (ECW or WCW to be exact). Jeff Hardy better than Sabin and Daniels? What are you smoking and why aren't you sharing with the rest of us? I'd honestly like to know what would make anyone think Hardy is more than a burnt-out spot monkey who can't pace a match, botches moves, gets stuck frequently, and has the ring psychology of a primate, because it must be some strong stuff. Hardy is like a white New Jack, but without the kickass rap song playing in the background during the matches. He's famous for falling of of stuff. Wow. There is a reason TNA didn't give Hardy the strap or even a decent push. He ain't worth it. He and his brother had all the phsyical tools, but never learned how to procure them. That's why they function best as a tag team and always will.
Your state of denial is amazing. TNA is far from perfect...but it's damn sure leagues ahead of WWE in the workrate and entertainment aspects because it doesn't treat the fans like ******s and it lets wrestler's wrestle...not their goddamn gimmicks.
