So Sting is the new TNA World Champion.... wow just wow. Yes Sting was the surprise and they also aired a promo for 3-3-11... yeah I know. This title is losing a lot of prestige due to the fact it has changed hands 3 times in the last month. Not that it had much to begin with. So let talk about why TNA continues to kick themselves in the ass and why is Sting champ right now? Also, why do they keep repeating everything they do?

Yeah but why have they had the title change hands 3 times in the last month. Its just crazy. And even if I admit that its a good business decision to give the title to a 51 year old man, then you still have the fact that they are doing another "date promotion." I am just saying that its lame to give someone the title then have them drop it to the last champ then have him drop it to an old guy. Just my thought

Or just let Anderson Hold on to it and let sting win it off of Anderson, they are just throwing the belt around like its worthless, and that is what sting is wearing around his waste, a worthless belt. So if I was a huge Sting mark, then I would be upset that he is TNA Champ because what does that add to the Stinger? Nothing. He is way beyond that belt.

It's a smart move by TNA. Ever since WWE started those 2-21-11 promos, people have been talking about Sting left and right. Then just days after all of these ridiculous "Sting is coming to WWE" claims are finally proven to be false, TNA gives the title to Sting. Very smart move to have the champion be someone that everyone happened to be talking about all month.

It's not like Sting picked TNA over WWE. He was never going to WWE. The Sting-to-WWE thing started when millions of fans grossly misunderstood the Undertaker return promos and hyped it up to mean something that wasn't there.

TNA did the smart thing and capitalized on a mass delusion and now they have the most talked-about world champion in wrestling without having to sign another WWE reject.

I'm not too fond of them taking the belt off Hardy a week or 2 after he got it back since he's been great since turning heel, is currently more interesting than he's ever been and I'm a mark for a long term heel champion but I'm definitely glad Sting is back on TV.

1. I think you are the only person that thinks the Rock is "Stale" he has been gone for 7 years so I dont really see how he can be stale. Yeah he used the same material but that is the rock.... catchy, insulting, ELECTRIFYING phrases

2. That was Cenas best promo in a long ass time. Eventhough it was a little lame give credit where credit is due. It was better than usual.

Rumor has it that Steve Borden was close to signing a deal with WWE but failed to accumulate any steam after Nash and Booker T returned.

Sting doesn't want to be a part of any kind of WCW/TNA Invasion into WWE.

He wants to write his own history.

I firmly believe that Stinger will end up in the WWE sometime this year, but it will be on his terms, when noone is EXPECTING it.

For the people who feel he will remain in TNA for good, just remember, if you're old, your swimming isn't too good, so you might want to get off the ship safely before it drags you under.

Taker can get away with it since he only tends to wear one color and when he does break out a different color it tends to be in line with the black.


Somehow this entrance gear of Stings out bedazzles the two classic ones.

Good move by TNA now my watch is set to see how long it takes before they fuck this up and we fall right back into apathy mode.

Wait did TNA just have their big announcement also include another big announcement with the "3-3-11" ?

Sting as champion isn't bad but Hardy shouldn't have gotten the belt back soo quickly if he was going to just drop it a week or two later. Although TNA was dumb enough to give him the belt while his drug case was still in court.

Yeah, they were here in Fayetteville NC so of course there's gonna be a crowd cause of the Hardy's here. I was thinking about going but I ended up working tonight so I couldn't go anyways, which is fine by me because I won $5 on a lottery ticket.

Loose Cannon
02-24-2011, 11:04 PM
I'm not here to bash TNA or go back and forth with someone in some stupid argument.

Putting the belt on Sitng? no problem. Sting's always been over with the crowd. He'll always be seen as a top guy and can help get people over. No issues there what so ever with me.


But here's the thing that has always irked me about TNA . I feel like they try so hard to slap Vince and the WWE in the face whenever they get the opportunity. They've been doing it for years and years trying to appease the internet fans. Whether it be signing WWE "future endeavors" or mocking the WWE in skits or whatever.

And I feel like this was no different. "ha ha ha, everyone thought Sting had signed with Vince, so now we'll show everyone that he's our champion. This will give us big ratings. And we'll run a 3-3-11 promo just to spite them..."

Problem is only the internet fans played into the rumor. Sting's hype will die down within a few weeks and TNA will be trying to figure out thier next big move.

I think it's a cool moment and will be fun to watch. But this is what TNA is. They are a company that lives off of surprises and "capitalizing" off WWE misfortunes (or not). You just kind of look at them and go "Ok, Next"

Hah...like WWE's writers are any better....every bad thing they do is masked by production value. WWE has had the illusion of a good show for years now...anyway.....that promo was hilarious. I do agree that they probably take a few too many shots at WWE when they really don't have to. Mudslinging competition is nothing new to TV lately, so it won't have the same effect that it did say...15 years ago (Eric). Now I wonder how long Sting will have the belt. I think at this point he's got more TNA title reigns than WCW.

ROFL, just saw the end of Impact with the promo for 3-3-11, CLEARLY supposed to be a rip off of the 2-21 promo. Like, there's no second thoughts about that.

While there's no problem with TNA putting the title on Sting and even pushing him, I completely agree with LC. This is a "LOL HEY VINCE LOOK WHAT WE GOT!!!!!111!1!!" moment. When WWE wasn't even going in that direction! THAT'S why TNA is pathetic. Again they unintentionally push WWE. I'm sure they think it was so clever to do that promo, when in reality it's stupid as fucking hell.

They're also, again, as LC said, marketing to the internet crowd, which isn't who they should be marketing for because THEY ALREADY HAVE THEM! And if they don't, if they're someone like me, I'll tune in when I hear they do something good. When I hear and see this all I think is "why are you doing this?"

They need to A. Market to the casual and potential fans who don't follow the internet and B. Stop living in the shadow of WWE so blatantly.

Aguakate
02-24-2011, 11:33 PM
Usually, when trying to push a product, you do everything different than your competition, and furthermore, you try to distance yourself from them as much as you can, therefore, you do NOTHING that will remind the customers of the competition...

...yeah...

...TNA does everything the other way around. In trying to beat the WWE, they rip-off the WWE, and in doing so, remind the fans of the WWE.

ROFL, just saw the end of Impact with the promo for 3-3-11, CLEARLY supposed to be a rip off of the 2-21 promo. Like, there's no second thoughts about that.

While there's no problem with TNA putting the title on Sting and even pushing him, I completely agree with LC. This is a "LOL HEY VINCE LOOK WHAT WE GOT!!!!!111!1!!" moment. When WWE wasn't even going in that direction! THAT'S why TNA is pathetic. Again they unintentionally push WWE. I'm sure they think it was so clever to do that promo, when in reality it's stupid as fucking hell.

They're also, again, as LC said, marketing to the internet crowd, which isn't who they should be marketing for because THEY ALREADY HAVE THEM! And if they don't, if they're someone like me, I'll tune in when I hear they do something good. When I hear and see this all I think is "why are you doing this?"

They need to A. Market to the casual and potential fans who don't follow the internet and B. Stop living in the shadow of WWE so blatantly.

Dude, let me just start by saying you know how much I love you. But c'mon, lets be honest. WWE DID reach out to Sting, that has been acknowledged. And if Vince had of gotten him, he would have done everything in his power to let TNA know.

I don't have a problem with what TNA has done with this 3.3.11 promo, and if it was the other way around, and we all need to admit Vince would do the same if that was the case, everyone would be saying how hilarious it was for him taking the piss out of TNA.

Good on them for having a win occasionally I say. Am I a TNA fan? No. Will I watch the show? No. But I just feel that no matter what they do, TPWW will always feel the need to hate on them. Cause we're too cool for the company.

I've never heard that WWE ever reached out to Sting this year. I know they were aware of the rumors, but I haven't heard anything that said he was ever in contact. There could be evidence out there, I won't deny that, but I haven't heard it.

And why would Vince do something TNA did? If he was in TNA's position (distant number two) of course he would, and it would be pathetic. But I honestly don't think WWE would actively go out of their way to copy a TNA promo so blatantly. And if they did? Honestly, I don't know how I'd feel about it. Probably would laugh it off. But again, I could NEVER, as the distant number 1 promotion, see WWE do something as blatant as this.

I give TNA credit where it's due, and this promo is NOT one of those times. Will it ruin TNA? No. But to me it makes them come off as second rate, and that's not a good thing.

They should have left things as is and just had Sting appear on the broadcast with no build. It would have had more impact.

WWE might actually have grounds to sue over that, honestly. It's definitely not under "parody". It's blatant rip-off, and they never showed who it was. Could say they're misleading fans into thinking it's The Undertaker.

I don't think WWE will do anything, because all it'll do is bring attention to TNA, but I think they have the grounds.No log cabin but metal stairs instead. No fire,no lawsuit. This totally falls under the "Scary Movie" parody rules. You can't sue over a thunder storm. If anyone knows what WWE can sue for it's Hogan and Bischoff(toothpicks anyone?) This thread is now 3 pages long. If they were marketiing to the internet fans I think the shit worked. Plus WWE stole this video first.They may own the footage now.But they fuckin stole it first.

TNA is falling into even worse traps than the WWE at the moment. I understand the business in putting the TNA World Title on Sting. He's a hot topic at the moment, and the 3.3.11 promos try and compare him to The Undertaker (and even Triple H). Will people buy Sting on that level? Yeah, maybe.

To illustrate my point: If an average wrestling fan watches that promo air on iMPACT!, are they going to think "Haha, TNA stuck it up Vince's ass on that one!" or "What a fucking ripoff of WWE." Was the director and producers of "Paranormal Entity" taking the piss out of the director/producers of "Paranormal Activity"? Parody implies humor, and there is nothing about that promo that was funny. There skit of Vince McMahon coming to iMPACT! and suing over their commercial fiasco a few years ago was a parody. This just comes off as bush league. Its a cool looking promo, but WWE just finished up the same thing THIS WEEK.

Probably should have made this clear: I understand that TNA probably wants this to come off as a parody, but to majority of the potential wrestling audience it comes off as nothing more than a rip-off. Inside jokes aren't made for mass appeal...which is the point of a global wrestling promotion.

TNA is a mess, it's a pain to watch. I tried watching RVD/Angle/Hardy but I cared so little. Everything about their production makes the connection to the audience harder to make. The way they style their matches is offensive to the mind. WWE has really grown into more realistic matches for the most part, with moves that matter. TNA has neck bump after chair shot after blade job after flip flop and nobody sells its for more than a moment... it's like an old Smackdown game for playstation. No, even worse. It's like the Impact video game which I bought for 6 dollars and played for about 20 minutes before never seeing it again.

I can see why they did it, the IWC has been masturbating over the thought of Sting in WWE so they give him the belt and say "Hey, you wanted to see Sting? He's right here". On the other hand, coupling it with the 3.3.11 knockoff promo just shows that TNA pay way too much attention to what WWE is doing instead of trying to provide a true alternative.

It's not a bad move, but it's not the solution to all (or any) of TNA's problems either and it's not something that makes me want to watch.

Smart move by TNA.

Dumb move by Sting.

As others have pointed out who honestly wants to see Sting in TNA?

I can understand him wanting to be loyal to 'the other company' again but staying in TNA makes Sting a hypocrite as WWE is much cleaner these days in terms of the product, the pg rating, even the wrestlers who are under contract to WWE.

TNA is becoming what WCW became shortly before going out of business a retirement home or clinic for aging past it wrestlers who are either on their last run or last legs see Hogan and Flair. The writing of the shows is awful, makes little sense and has little impact. It's mostly shock TV nothing more but it's done in a way that gives the shock TV storylines no impact or realism.

When Nash and Sting did the shoot interview on live tv against Immortal I really thought it was from the heart. Nash knew Immortal would be much like NWO was in WCW and not in a good way I daresay that was a big reason for him wanting out of TNA. His comments seemed to indicate he didn't want to be a part of it that's for sure.

Nash wanted one last run in the big time, he referred to the WWE as playing for the Yankees but it seems Sting is happy playing in the minor leagues.

Sting has had numerous opportunities to sign with WWE and sell his likeness in WWE games, new DVD sets, Legends deal, big money match on the grandest stage of them all.

Why go over old ground when you can break new ground and gain new fans? Why go through the motions week in and week out when you could be building a legacy?

I just don't get it personally his window of opportunity has probably gone now and it's a great shame as I really believe Sting would have done great things in the WWE.

I think the people who are saying he made the wrong choice at least have a point. Like I've said, I haven't heard that Sting met with WWE this year. However, Sting could have EASILY used this as a bargaining chip in terms of his worth in WWE. He was hotter and worth more to the WWE than he has been since the Invasion. This leads me to believe there were three possibilities here.

1. Sting never tried to contact WWE and/or WWE never tried to contact Sting.
2. They met, and they couldn't come to terms, whether on WWE's or Sting's side.
3. Sting is sticking to his beliefs in terms of what WWE did would do to him and honestly has no desire to go to WWE in any kind of character role.

I think it's obvious that Sting wants to continue wrestling on and off, and I honestly think that, if he truly wants to wrestle, TNA is his best choice. Outside of a match with The Undertaker, there's really nothing that Sting can bring to the table in WWE in terms of an on-air role that they couldn't get somewhere else.

I've said it before, I would be shocked if Sting doesn't accept a Hall of Fame induction down the line, and I could even see him signing a legends deal for merchandise and a DVD, but I wouldn't be shocked if he never works for WWE in any kind of on-air character role.

3. Sting is sticking to his beliefs in terms of what WWE did would do to him and honestly has no desire to go to WWE in any kind of character role.

Right before he "walked out" on TNA with Nash he was getting pretty fat. He wrestled with his T Shirt on to try and hide it

I think like taker707 said Spike pays so much but Sting probably gets paid by Panda energy in the same way Flair does. $500k seems about right, its the number i've heard too, TNA only seems to spend decent money on the top guys, alot of the lower midcard and below are on peanuts or pay per appearence deals so they save money there.

Quite easily. What I was saying is that if Vince had of gotten Sting, somewhere along the line something directed at TNA would have happened.

And as for the "Win" I meant the promo, not Sting himself.

bullshit. again, what makes you think this? TNA has been around since 2002. Vince had PLENTY of opportunities over the past 9 years to take shots at TNA and he hasn't one time. You know why? Because he knows it's not going to help his business

I mean, TNA actually ran an angle where someone dressed up as Vince and mocked him and Vince didn't retaliate. he doesn't care.

This only works if they never speak of that hilarious promo ever again. I believe TNA acknowledges WWE far too much. They shouldn't acknowledge WWE at all tbh, because every time they do, they embarrass themselves.

This argument is getting a little silly because it assumes that people are shitting all over TNA just for the sake of doing it. Personally, I have wanted so badly to like TNA for YEARS. At least once every month I tune in to see if it is something that I would enjoy but time and time again they have proven that they don't really have a direction. They don't really know what they're doing. They bring in ex-WWE guys as a "HUGE TNA SURPRISE" every couple of months like those guys are going to single-handedly save the company and then they misuse them until nobody cares anymore. They tend to misuse them after they have those guys completely steamroll their homegrown TNA talent though, so you can't get into cheering for them either.

I think the main reason why people have such hatred for TNA is because they really want to tune in and be fans but they are making it almost impossible.

Sting vs. Jeff hardy is something new. Taker vs. HHH=same old shit, at the same fucking ppv. I don't see how anyone but James Steele can think HHH is gonna win. The WWE mishandled the Taker's return by just throwing trips out there.They had to run a five minute video on Smackdown explaining the angle. TNA ran a quick little promo with symbols that were "Sting like" in nature. I still say the WWE started it by running that style of video,deliberately trying to copy off stings flavor. TNA decided to get them back. It was a justified rib. Someone tell me..How would you announce the return of the Stinger a different way,that doesn't totally unveil who it is?

They kill off momentum too quickly. But they still don't piss me off like WWE does with some of their bullshit. TNA may have some WTF storylines but the wwe barely even has storylines anymore, unless it's main eventers. They have no tag division,no women's division.The IC and U.S. titles are meaningless,and they had to bring back the "Attituders" to make this WM buyable.

When has WWE ever acknowledged TNA on-air and/or as part of an angle? TNA has done this COUNTLESS times. They do it so much it's almost like TNA is a rogue WWE brand.

There are only two instances where I can remember TNA references on WWE TV. Joey Styles at the first One Night Stand (which was obviously his own doing) and another one of the commentators (I think Striker) once made a veiled reference to TNA (which, again, was more than likely Striker's own doing). I don't even remember the latter one, I just remember it did happen.

Off the top of my head with TNA: This promo, VKM, talking about "those guys in New York" or whatever the fuck the flavor of the month term is, feuding over WWE hall of fame rings...

I'll say this: The 3-3-11 promo, in and of itself, could have gotten a pass and a laugh from me and I'm sure others if they didn't always make WWE a part of their storylines. But it's such a common occurrence that there is absolutely no excuse for them doing something like this anymore.

i'm not saying that TNA don't reference the WWE alot, because they do and i almost facepalm every time that they do, but as far as the WWE are concerned I'm talking about things like, taking superstars off the alumni page when they sign with TNA, taking stars out of the opening sequence when they sign with TNA (hulk hogan and Ric Flair as an example), banning knife edge chops so the crowd doesn't say "woooh" referencing a star from another company, Bret Hart as the guest host on the night that TNA has their big monday night debut with hulk hogan, and of course most recently the wwe sign Booker-T and Kevin Nash a couple of days before TNA want them back as part of their big 'they v2' storyline.

I get why they do it, they dont need to give anyone free publicity, they gave a nod to ECW on occasion when they brought in talent from there but they were never really competition. TNA tends to put over other promotions, especially foreign, because they have a working relationship with them, but i think it adds credibility when they can bring a guy in and acknowledge that he's wrestled elsewhere and held championships rather than just suddenly existing because hes under WWE contract.

They have to do that though, they are a a lower company in the reality of the wrestling world, so saying someone is a former WWE, ECW, NJPW, etc.. champion brings credibility to them being in TNA because those titles probably have more prestige then the TNA world title (something TNA needs, credibility). WWE doesn't need to do that as much as a guy just being there kinda gives him a bit of credibility and no titles in North America are as prestigious as the WWE titles in the eyes of the Casual Fans

No, I'm pissy because I gave Xero more credit for that. The factors involved with TNA running an ECW PPV and a 30 second promo are so different it's not funny.

Like I said before, I don't expect anybody to agree with me. My point the whole time has been why all the TNA hate over the promo? I mean some of the posts have been pretty fucking hateful.

I wouldn't even say 'hateful', it's just straight up stupidity. If they'd been pushing this down everybody's throats for weeks, talking and hyping it up then fair enough, rant about it all you want, they're straight up ripping off WWE. But it's a 30 second video that appeared 1 week before 'the reveal'. It's nothing. It's a little addition to Sting's return given 'the rumours' as opposed to just bringing him out for the match totally unannounced. It just isn't remotely important. But naturally a bunch of dickheads either get all bent out of shape over nothing or try to explain why it's stupid because "I read internet! I have knowledge!" It's just the same old bollocks, not really worth trying to combat because the next mutant is just around the corner waiting to sign up here.

In regards to 'the video', I'm going to lay out how I see things with the use of smileys:

TNA - :p
WWE - :roll:
The average/common fan depending on preference (aka the ones that provide 98% of the revenue) :drool:/:-\/:roll:
TPWW/internet wrestling fan - :rant::rant::mad::mad::foc::foc::rant::rant::mad::mad::foc::foc:

They have to do that though, they are a a lower company in the reality of the wrestling world, so saying someone is a former WWE, ECW, NJPW, etc.. champion brings credibility to them being in TNA because those titles probably have more prestige then the TNA world title (something TNA needs, credibility). WWE doesn't need to do that as much as a guy just being there kinda gives him a bit of credibility and no titles in North America are as prestigious as the WWE titles in the eyes of the Casual Fans

I agree, and WWE would never put an other promotions title on par with their titles even if they did, but i dont think it hurts to acknowledge a wrestlers accomplishments before they got there, especially if its a foriegn promotion. Its one of the few things i like about TNA, but unless they trace their belt back to the NWA title, they dont have any real lineage of their own anyways.

I have no hate over the promo. have no hate over the angle. nothing against putting the title on Sting. nothing against the wrestlers on TNA.

I just can't stand some of the people calling the shots. I feel like they keep trying whatever they can to see if it will stick.

I don't know the answer to this, but can anybody really tell me if business has improved since Hogan/Bichoff, Flair, ECW, RVD, Kennedy, "They" "They" Part II, Fortune?

I still say the WWE started it by running that style of video,deliberately trying to copy off stings flavor.

You're kidding, right? They might as well have put flashing neon "The Undertaker is coming!" across the screen. There was nothing Sting-like about it until somebody's wishful thinking caught on and became "fact."

Ok forget all that for a second. Why the fuck was there some chicks interview playing up on the tna screen when sting was coming down the isle? Are they even gonna be able to edit that out? This is one of the things I agree with most people on. They need to step up production value. Also the new yellow and red sting symbol is ugly as shit. But the entrance was still cool. And it was still a good idea. Six pages now....Steadily proving my point about how this worked on the smarks.

There are some really strong similarities, but 2-21-11 was also very similar to any number of UT hype videos they've done over two decades.

WWE stole the hype video from Sting just like Bret Hart stole the scorpion death lock. Neither was really Sting's to begin with and only a couple of people noticed.

I didn't make out that anybody is an 'angry hater'. I haven't thoroughly read Tazz Dan's posts but I don't think he has either. It would fit your 'argument' a lot better if that had been the case though.
