For me TNA is a lot better than WWE for a while now.
Now i know there are a lot of people who are not happy with TNA but for the most part i can never understand why. I find that many people who openly mock TNA (who normally only have 1-10 posts funnily
) give the same 3 reasons:
1. Production looks rubbish compared to WWE: Now what do you expect? The WWE has been around for years, establishing itself as the main wrestling promoter in the world and gaining a fortune in the process. TNA has been around for 5 years and regardless of the monopoly WWE has have still managed to go from weekly ppvs to a 1 hour tv show, then ppv's out of the impact zone, then the 2 hour show and now we are going to get a test run for a live Impact show which if it goes well could give us live shows every other week. And as for the asthetics of the set i really like the Impact Zones look, the 2 entrances are cool and no matter what some people say the 6 sided ring is great, giving the wrestlers more options and making it safer to do the high risk moves the X division is partly known for.
2.Crap Characters: Another reason i have to disagree with for the simple reason that i find TNA's style of heel/face depending on the situation refreshing. For too long have we had to put up with the WWE's typical face views or for the most part (other than HHH
) cowardly heels. In TNA it just feels more realistic, with characters who are not just 'good' or 'bad' but are real people who can be both depending on the situation.
3.Confusing Stories: This is the one that confuses me the most, i have read so many times how people didnt know what was going on through confusion, for example the Joe and Nash relationship. The confusing part (for some) was that Joe would be pissed at Nash and then reconcile with Nash, now i watch every Impact and understood teh reasons behind Joes and Nash' actions and the only/likely reason for people not understanding this would be that they have not been watching the shows everyweek which to be fair if you can skip a week here and there at a time and still keep up with the stories without the aid of Promos and VT than there is something lacking IMO.
For the most part i feel people on the 1 hand expect TNA to be totally diferent from WWE but on the other hand criticise TNA for not being like WWE!
I think when it comes down to it a show will never be for everyone, some people will never be happy and some people are just not willing to give TNA the time that it needs.
