thank you sir, for giving me some fire. You sit there and talk trash about TNA? What ou don't understand about WWE is they take guys and push them based upon their size. Rey Mysterio Jr. has been about the only exception to the heavyweight division. You sit there and spew and spew "fuck TNA" well, let me lay it out for you like this.
-Why don't that have a 4 sided ring?
A: Simple - they're innovative. They used to back in the day of weekly pay per views every wednesday which was some really good stuff.
- Talent?
A: Thats strictly a matter of oppinion there my good friend. You claim they take the WWE rejects? Not exactly true. Yes, they do take a lot of *former* wwe stars, but why? It's because WWE got rid of them because of the sheer fact they had nothing for them.
Let me lay out some of the roster for you:
- Abyss
- Aj Styles
- Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin) - these guys right here form a very great team. So what if they're full of spots? Who doesn't love great spots like they put on?
- The Voodoo Kin Mafia formally known as the James Gang, or as many once knew them, former DX members, The New Age Outlaws. BG James (road Dogg) and Kip James (Billy Gunn)
- Black Reign (many know him as Dustin Rhodes, or Goldust. Except the Black Reign character is great)
- Chris Harris
- Christian Cage (formally Christian if you are unsure)
- "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, and his Triple X partners Senshi (formally Low Ki) and "Primetime" Elix Skipper.
- Eric Young
- Havok (formally Johnny Devine)
- Homicide and Hernandez (the LAX)
- James Storm
- Jay Lethal
- Jeff jarrett
- Junior Fatu (formally Rikishi)
- Kazarian
- Kevin Nash
- Kurt Angle
- Lance Hoyt
- Matt Morgan
- Petey Williams
- Raven
- Rhino
- The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott) - now while they may not be like the classic Steiners back in the days of WCW with Ted DeBiase as their manager, they are still a great classic, old school team.
- Robert Roode
- Ron Killings
- Samoa Joe
- Shark Boy
- Sonjay Dutt
- (my personal favorite) The Icon, Sting.
- Team 3D
- Tomko
What you see listed above is the current standing TNA roster, minus the Knockouts. Now if Kane would show up in TNA, he probably would manage to get a push, why? Simply because it's Glenn Jacobs, he's been around for a while and has always played a monster.
You disrespect the entire TNA roster, when the reality is both companies have a great roster, and each have a couple advantages over the other, something that you are blind to see. Now, TNA has made it to 2 hours, and since going 2 hours, their ratings have started to improve. Yes, the ratings may not be that great compared to say, raw, but why is that? because TNA isn't main stream. TNA is what I like to call Big Indy, just one step above ROH. They base themselves out of orlando, Florida for weekly iMPACT!, and have recently begun to travel for their pay per views. They don't have the funding that WWE has.
The question here is, what makes the talent they get from WWE, so washed up? Let's look at one of WWE's greatest assests, Kurt angle. The only man to hold every championship in WWE. he was granted his early release, and what happened less than a month later? He signs to TNA and says that WWE was runingin wrestling for hm, and TNA saved it. TNA takes talent in, and the utilize them for what they are worth. Christian has great charisma, and he shows it off. AJ Styles is one hell of a talented athlete, hell, the entire X Division is what true cruiserweight wrestling... used to be. Why does WWE get to use real music? Because they can afford it, they have the connections to do so. TNA uses real production value, which makes them unique. And answer me this? Why do you need these big flashy pyros to have a good wrestling promotion? The answer is simple, you don't. The entrances can make up a character, yes, however you don't need them. What sparks they do have, are perfectly fine.
See, wat again you fail to realize is that TNA cares about the fans. Before every pay per view,they hold a huge fan fest, and they get most of the wrestlers involved. WWe couldn't give a shit less about the fans. That's been proven on many accounts. WWE has names, TNA has talent. TNA has young, great athletes who will one day take the wrestling world by storm. Where TNA is now, they have fought long and hard to get there and in a few years they'll be up there with WWE, but not right now. I don't think TNA really want's to even be a huge travel promotion, either. That's what keeps their great environment, is being based from one area, the wrestlers get to see their families more and they are much happier.
Now let's look at the over all advantages and disadvantages that each company has to the other.
WWE: Advantage over TNA
- Money
- Names
- Experience
I know there is a lot more, but for the time being, thats all I can think of.
TNA: Advantage over WWE
- Talent
- Good Environment
- Skill Level
- Innovation
- Care for the fans
- ready for the next generation
Again, this isn't all of it, but you get the point. I am a fan of WWe and TNA both, but if I had to pick and choose, I would honestly go with TNA. While you appear to be a die hard edge fan, you also, to me, are a mark. A true fan of pro wrestling enjoys to watch it all. You don't need enormous venues, huge pyro tactics, and wrestlers who have been in the business for over a decade to be a great company. TNA has had many indy wrestlers come and go over the years, but the part about TNA is they are just talented, they have what it takes to take wrestling into the next generation. WWE didn't prepare themselves good enough for the next generation, and now they are out a few big names, they are kind of struck, and now the ratings are falling. I'll give you a list of some great indy wrestlers, look them up, and then come back and say feds like TNA are shit. Thats what makes places like TNA and the indys so great, is they don't hold their talent back. WWe however, does. Because they don't want guys like CM Punk, who's a former TNA star and ROH star, mind you, who have the abiolity to surpass guys like Triple H, to do so. TNA builds their company on the backs of every single wrestler they have, while WWE builds it on the backs of just a few.
Indy Wrestlers
Player Uno
Human Tornado
El Generico
Delirious
Matt Sydal
Jack Evans
Scorpio Sky
Just a few guys like that, they are the guys who can change anybodies view on wrestler who isn't a mark.
Point stated.
why would i be scared of tna xchosenonex? theres no good wrestlers on the show, exept like 3, i watch it on thursdays here and there, and to tell u the truth i aint impressed. crappy announcers, crappy pyros, crappy and i mean crappy music. wwe has the real themes real pyros real wrestlers, and the squared circle, i hate that tna ring, its shit. i am not afraid of a wrestling promotion that takes wwe rejects, cristian, dudleys(team 3d that a great team name Fuck NOT) and rhino, guy is challengeing vince, all vince needs to do is send kane after him and rhino is history. Fuck tna. 1 day a week for an hour. wow, how nice.
Look RAW is 2 hours ans SmackDown is 2 hours and ECW is soon going to turn to 2 hours how will TNA compete against 3 of Vince McMahons shows? Even if TNA turns to 2 hours it's still in trouble.
now isnt that damn true, all u stubid tna wrestling fans....
