Reasons to watch TNA?

[MoFo]

Legit.

I tried watching it the other day and it was awful. But like, it was so good when they had MCMG v BM, Jarrett v Angle and Bully Ray v AJ.

WTF is Garrat Bischoff.

Bobby Roode is plain as ready salted crisps.

Sandman James Storm is too OTT and like Cena on the mic.

lol Gunner.

What is good in TNA so I can see that instead.

[Kane Knight]

You're a massochist, but too much of a pussy to have your balls strapped to a car battery.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Second base, you mean?

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

TNA put on a lot of excellent matches.

[Testicle]

Mark alert. A match is not excellent when performed in front of 800 people.

[Testicle]

TNA fucking sucks, if you disagree you are a mark.

[MoFo]

TNA put on a lot of excellent matches.


Like?

Hence the Q in OP.

[Juan]

Between this and you only watching Raw for Michael Cole, what DO you like, Mofo?

[MoFo]

No I like Mark Henry and Ziggler and Cole and Bully Ray and Primo and R-Truth and Rey and Kane and Taker and Cena and Orton and Cody and Goldust and Miz.

Just not Smackdown.

[Kane Knight]

TNA fucking sucks, if you disagree you are a mark.

Trying too hard.

Second base, you mean?

Swissy, you romantic.

[Mr. JL]

So long as Velvet Sky is still humping the middle rope TNA will always have one good reason for people to watch.

[Stickman]

I was trying to give tna a go for a couple years but it is bad now. So bad i cant even wtch kurt angle

[FourFifty]

James Storm, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, RVD.... Hell, TNA has some great talent, but it's like giving a machine gun to a blind retarded epileptic polish midget and asking him to hit the broadside of the barn (spoiler warning- you're asking in Latin). They have the firepower to blow it away, but not the right mind behind the trigger.

[Mr. JL]

It is a real shame to watch a roster of highly talented wrestlers being booked in shit.

[Raven Reaper]

So long as Velvet Sky is still humping the middle rope TNA will always have one good reason for people to watch.

Don't forget Tessmacher's ass.. And steel cage match of Mickie and Madison this week!!

[Razzamajazz]

tna does have some great matches. but having to sit through the pure shit to find them isn't worth it

[Testicle]

Trying too hard.



Swissy, you romantic.


Yeah, I'm trying too hard. Mr. 141 thousand posts. Yes, I am trying too hard.

[Shisen Kopf]

I watch it for the total nonstop action, duh!

[Mr. Nerfect]

* Austin Aries
* Gail Kim
* Brooke Tessmacher's ass
* Mickie James
* Velvet Sky's ring entrance

[Majunior]

Knockout matches in general are far superior to Diva matches. Knockouts actually get to do something resembling wrestling. So that's a plus...

And...

No, that's all I got.

[Raven Reaper]

Yeah and you noticed in the last month, Mickie and Gail were on a KO title match and yet they're in the main event card? How cool was that? Let alone a women's wrestling being the main event and the good ending to it as well.

[Jordan]

I watched it recently and I like Storm, Morgan & Crimson, Bully Ray, and especially Eric Young and ODB.

[Jordan]

Hated Roode, Sting, Winter and Angle

[XL]

If only there was something else you could do/watch instead of having to try so hard to find something enjoyable about TNA. Alas...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

If only there was something else you could do/watch instead of having to try so hard to find something enjoyable about TNA. Alas...

Actually fairly hard on a Sunday night when it shows over here as you've got a limited amount of time to kill before Match of the Day 2.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Hate women's wrestling.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, I'm trying too hard. Mr. 141 thousand posts. Yes, I am trying too hard.

Those two aren't really related.

[Innovator]

If only there was something else you could do/watch instead of having to try so hard to find something enjoyable about TNA. Alas...

Archer is back at 10 pm on Thursday.

[Jordan]

When they showed the montage of Eric Young and ODB moments I felt like I was watching something on par with Raw's comedy skits in 97, with Mark Henry and Mae Young.

No doubt that was the genius that Russo still has left. It doesn't always work but it sure did with those too.

Now if they could just get ODB to stop grabbing hit tits and crotch every few seconds it could be legend.

Matt Morgan and Crimson are money, they should really try and keep them together for a long time. I honestly got a "Road Warriors" feeling from watching them. They suck on the mic sure, so I'd give them a "Paul Elllering" of sorts, I don't really have any suggestions of who though. Perhaps Devon in a semi-retired managers role, if he wanted to go for that.

I know TNA will break them up before they see their full potential though.

They gotta do something about the horrible acting in their numerous scenes that they magically have camera's for backstage or at the gym or wherever that bullshit takes place...

Kurt has got to go, he looks so washed up and really can't go like he used too. He looks horrible, horrible, horrible, he's an embarrassment. I was watching and thought "wow this guy would truly have no place in WWE anymore".

Sting is fine as an authority figure but he still sucks. He came out with a french gondolier shirt on with his Sting gloves, just to show once again wrestlers from the 90's have zero fashion sense.

Plus he talks like he's in a bad Jim Carey movie, please retire Sting, please.

James Storm is the fucking man. He has IT. I dunno if he'd get over in WWE because he's such a redneck but for TNA this guy is the f'n man, he has presence, charisma, and all around skills on the mic and the ring. Push this guy instead of....

Bobert Roode. Who looks a lot like this guy

http://images.zap2it.com/images/movie-12943/kindergarten-cop-3.jpg


He'd probably get over more if his evil mother helped him win matches and keep the title, I GUESS. He sucks on the mic, it was incredibly boring to listen to the guy and in the ring he's just a collage of stuff we all like, he just steals big spots from other WWE stars and puts them together which is really fucking fake and reeks of bullshit.

Fuck him. Until his evil mother helps him, fuck him. Cheap ass suit Triple H wannabe.

Jeff Hardy, goddamn TNA give me a fucking break. This guys sucks more than Roode, in the ring and on the mic.... CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING TNA?

Fucking assholes.

Also, Winter sucks, Angelina Love really sucks, Gunner has potential, and where the fuck what Mr. Anderson?

That's my thoughts on my annual TNA watch.

[theregulator]

the womeeennn!

[Juan]

ugh @ the cellulite on that girl's a$$

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Reasons to watch TNA:

1. Somebody blocked NBC on your cable ███.
2. Nothing to watch at 10pm on thursday except the news.
3. Too lazy to change the channel if Spike TV was on for some reason like watching one of their "great" shows.
4. Hot █████s from the Knockout Division.
5. Want to see a pre-taped trainwreck.
Correlary to rule 5: Want to see what ████ed up ████ they come up with next.
6. TV remote broken and cable reciever doesn't have change channel buttons.
7. You are not allergic to watching horrible wrestling.
8. Need to get sick so you can call out of work/school on friday for thirsty Thursday purposes.

[kareru]

are you actually looking for reasons to watch from us, or are you just wanting to start a 'Bash TNA thread #12,753'?

and why can't i see swearing?

[Mr. JL]

and why can't i see swearing?

I second this question

[DaveBrawl]

Reasons to watch TNA:

1. Somebody blocked NBC on your cable ███.

NBC is probably worse than Spike.

[Eklipse]

I haven't watched TNA since they finished the MCMG and Beer Money feud. I tried to watch it the other night, with Bischoff's son trying to be a wrestler...and changed the channel quickly.

The wrestling in tna is okay...sometimes pretty ████ good.

Storylines....that's another story....

[Mr. JL]

TNA definitely has numerous GEMS but I could never watch a full show from start to finish. Far too much confusing, non-sensical ████tiness for that. I usually read over the spoilers so I have an idea whats going on and I'll select a match or two that I think may be worth my time to watch.

Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe
AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle from the first iMPACT! of the Bisch-Hogan Era
AMW vs Triple X
Rob Van Dam vs AJ Styles Sacrifice '10
AJ Styles vs ██████opher Daniels vs Samoa Joe
Jerry Lynn vs Sean Waltman PPV in '05
AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe
Rob Van Dam vs Sabu from Hardcore Justice '10
AJ Styles vs Raven Ladder Match
Kid Kash vs Austin Aries
AJ Styles vs Kazarian
MCMG vs Beer Money, Inc.
DDP vs Raven

[Mr. JL]

Apparently the Chris t in ██████opher is now forbidden.:wavesad:

[MoFo]

vanilla m1dget was censored earlier on too, ███.

[MoFo]

W.T.F is too ?

:lol:

[Fox]

The reasoning behind watching TNA is the same reasoning I would attribute to the viewing of things like rooster fighting, controlled demolitions of decrepit buildings, frog dissection and two chicks one cup.

I.E. morbid curiosity

[Jordan]

I watched some again tonight...

Mickey James is great, one of the best female wrestlers I have ever seen... though she was in a cage match with "Madison" another good worker, but it was so unnecessary as the cage did not have any affect on the match or the outcome. Bad choice, we don't need gimmick matches for "no reason", but it's TNA what more can you ask for?

James Storm is once again very entertaining to me, he isn't quite "there" but it could happen if he works with the right guys... His match with Hardy wasn't very good and the over booked non finish totally sucked and ruined the show.

They should have had Roode on commentary and then do a face off with the winner to close the show, or something simple, building to the PPV instead of trying to make me watch next week to see who the number one contender is. The point is to build to the big shows and as we all know, that is a skill TNA lacks.

Bully Ray is great, especially in small doses, though I don't full understand where he fits into the main story. That's because I never watch though.

Eric Young against Angelina Love was hilarious, keep it up Eric Young, keep it up.

Best segment of the night...

Alex Shelly confronts Austin Aries, great segment with great work from both men. Shelly could totally make it in WWE if he got the chance.

I said to my brother when watching this... and get ready for it, it may never happen again... especially while watching TNA...


"THAT MAY BE THE MOST LOGICAL SEGMENT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE"

Champ - I'm the best you guys, I've beaten everyone, either they have to get bigger dudes for me to fight or I might have to retire early, that's really how good I am.

Challenger - No way man, I could beat you, cause your a cheater.

Champ - Whatever dude, you've been hurt for a while, besides who are you anyway? How did you even get here tonight? Oh yeah that's right you flew in on Chris Sabin's coat tails.

Challenger - Psssyeah right man, I'm pretty sick in the ring but if you don't think so and your so confident then go ahead and put your title on the line against me.

Champ - No way dude, you gotta earn that right.

Challenger - Alright fine.

SCENE

Add some good acting and a sincere lack of unbelievable BS and we got a good build for the PPV, provided Shelly wins his match. That was how you do it.

[Jordan]

James Storm needs to watch some Austin promo's, gain some more badasserey to his persona. I don't feel scared of him, he should have that quality.

Bobby Roode needs to get better suits, he looks like a fagget. Not the gay kind either.

[RiX1024]

Reason I watch it: coz it's different to WWE even if it's crap.

[Rollermacka]

TNA has its moments for me, but that could be said about WWE too. Some of the stuff Eric Young does is pretty hillaious. I like Gunner, Crimson and the veterans like AJ, RVD and Joe still put on good matches. The X division has it's moments too. The 2 out of 3 series between Ion and that other guy (I cant even remember his name) were some great matches, and Aires is flat out awesome. They have much better female wrestlers, then again it depends if that appeals to you at all. For me, TNA has a habit of getting real good then falling to crap, then working it's way back up. I think right now it's slowly getting better and hopefully it will continue to get better for awhile

[XL]

Want reason to watch TNA? Aires vs Shelley. Case rested.

[Innovator]

the problem with him acting too much like stone cold you all would bitch he is a stone cold rip off, though if tna ever invades wwe i would love to see storm and stone cold interact.

[Destor]

eh, its has its moments when they put on something genuinly good. they're just way too far in between and like late wcw too many egos and not a person strong enough to keep them in check in the back.

[MoFo]

Reason I watch it: coz it's different to WWE even if it's crap.


Is it really different though?

Its just a WWE-lite as far as I can see.

[Damndirty]

PROS
------
Some good originals
Some veterans you'd prefer to see on TV than not at all
Knockouts don't look as phony as the WWE Divas, and their women's matches are superior to WWE's
X Division has decent talents and has potential to make some big names
Not PG
Good entrances
Good gimmicks when at their best, but.... (look at cons)



CONS
------
Wastes alot of their good originals
Crappy crappy storylines
Rely too much on the veterans to fix everything
Small audience
Kills good gimmicks even when they're drawing
Has some bad gimmicks that linger even when they're not drawing
Most of their matches are very unimpressive
Doesn't look like they're planning to make themselves any bigger than they currently are

[MisterLee]

Honestly the only thing I like about TNA is how it's filmed.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I opened this thread to say this. I was actually going to say "Aries", but you know.

This is my love/hate relationship opinion.. Yes, and don't forget the constant swerve on turning heel or babyfaces in the roster too!

P.S. I'd also like to add to the PROS list.. Knockouts have cage matches while WWE'er divas have squash matches.

[Xero]

Not PG is neither a pro nor a con.

[Curd]

The Aces & Eights angle continues to go strong. Usually TNA arcs fizzle after about a month, but Pritchard and company are keeping the potential A&E leader a wide possibility, similar to the identity of the RAW GM.

Sting wore tights with pink scorpions to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Devon nailed Sting with his spinning, jumping back elbow and then shouted, "Who the man?!?" at the rabidly booing Impact! crowd. Sting waved down Aces & Eights to attack him while applying the Scorpion Death Lock. Sting might be the A&E leader, or else why would he gesture for someone to come from backstage when he's about to win the match?

[Gertner]

My remote control broke.

JEFF HARDY


That's a joke. He is the reason I've stopped.

[owenbrown]

people watch TNA? :wtf:

[KaosDarksol]

Nothing else is on at that time slot

[Tommy Gunn]

I tried every time one of my favourite guys went over (Angle, Anderson) and I couldn't keep watching longer than 2 episodes.

Pretty much have no interest in a fed where one of the Dudley Boys is a main eventer, plus there's the Jeff Hardy debacle.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

On SpikeTV. NBC Thursday Comedy is better than TNA and it's the final seasons of 30Rock and the Office.

[DaveBrawl]

it's the final seasons of 30Rock and the Office.
Finally some good news.

[Zeeboe]

Nothing.

[Anybody Thrilla]

TNA is pretty good. At times, it's even really good.

[Pintint]

TNA is pretty good. At times, it's even really good.

I enjoyed Bound For Glory more than I enjoyed the past month of WWE programming, that's for sure. The Storm/Roode match is my fav recent wrestling match.

The Aces and Eights storyline is still extremely retarded though.

[drave]

In the recent, say, 2 months or so, TNA has had some better programming than WWE, to be honest.

The only things I even tune in to WWE are for Sheamus/Barrett (their matches have been winning), Ziggler, Sandow, and without saying THE RYBACK Although my faith in him is being tried by failing to finish Heyman.....

Gotta agree with Pintint, Storm/Roode feud that has been going on has been done very well. Their match was nothing short of excellent. A's & 8's started off well, but has turned into a steaming pile worse than tuning into WcW and seeing a rainbow of nWo shirts claiming to be "different".

[CSL]

I tried every time one of my favourite guys went over (Angle, Anderson) and I couldn't keep watching longer than 2 episodes.

Pretty much have no interest in a fed where one of the Dudley Boys is a main eventer, plus there's the Jeff Hardy debacle.

that last part is like saying "no interest in a fed where one of the Hart Foundation/The Rockers/the Hollywood Blondes/Skyscrapers" etc. Doesn't mean jack shit. Not to mention Bully Ray has been excellent since he started giving a shit.

[Wehttam]

bully even pulled some decent face shit out tonight. he's probably been in the best shape he has ever been.

[drave]

His promo on D-Von was fuckin money, nuff said.

Pretty much have no interest in a fed where one of the Dudley Boys is a main eventer, plus there's the Jeff Hardy debacle

The Jeff Hardy debacle? Not to bring up something old from the TPWW Forums, but.....

STOP LIVING IN THE PAST! :foc:

CSL nailed it with what he said, I feel no further elaboration is necessary
