View Full Version : Rosters...

So, I was sitting here thinking about it, and I've come to realize that TNA has a better overall roster than WWE does. I mean really WWE has Michaels, Hunter, and Taker all injured...Edge is good, but then we're forced to put up with Cena, Lashley, Tista and the monster of the month. Basically, the only active Main Eventer worth a damn is Edge. TNA has Angle, a fraction of his former self, but still miles above most others...they have Christian, Sting, Jarrett, and even their worthless pieces of shit; Joe & Styles, are still so far beyond the Supermen that it's not even funny. Combine every single tag team in all three brands, and the only ones worth a flying fuck are the Hardys and Alienoid's boys. TNA has the Steiners, the Dudleys, the Outlaws/VKM, LAX...I mean really the only bad thing you can say about their tag division is it's too full with their makeshift X-Division Tag Teams (Shelly/Sabin, Lethal/Dutt, etc.). The only place where WWE is really stronger than TNA right now is in their upper midcard section, despite my total apathy towards Kennedy, he makes a strong connection, and then their's Orton, the black Power Ranger, Benoit, RVD, Punk & Burke. But with Kennedy being out, and RVD looking towards the exit sign, it still is better than TNA's Daniels, Eric Young, Rhino, and Lynn...but in their own right, TNA doesn't have a weak mid card either.

I don't know what purpose all this serves other than I guess to point out that with WWE's weakened Main Event scene, and their generally bad sense of direction and with TNA jam packed with solid performers who given the right work could very easily get over, now would be a prime time for TNA to step up their game, quit booking shit, actually put some thought into their product and attempt to mount some kind of upward motion...

I would also like at this time to point out that I know I'm not bringing any new information or insight into this topic, and this has been covered on many occasions, but I elt compelled to post it anyway...

I was thinkin about how TNA has more star power then Smackdown and ECW does the other day and that somehow TNA is about as enjoyable as both of them.

I just watched TNA Impact, and for once it didn't completely suck. I just mostly sucked. They are doing better.

I actaully wouldn't mind seeing 3D v the Steiners.

Gotta agree with that, TNA's upper card easily competes with WWE's, but i just can't watch the mid card / x division matches. I like a character, but the majority of TNA's mid / lower / X cards are all the same, generic people.

That's another thing, noone uses names like Edge or Sting anymore, everyone new seems to just use a normal name. THAT'S why wrestling isn't as good as it used to be, not enough gimmick wrestlers!

I found the Dudley's/Steiners promo to be interested, however it seemed stupid how the Dudley's were talking about how good the Steiners were and how the Steiners were talkinga bout how the Dudley's should shut up cuz they suck. It's like, come on, feed off each other or soemthing.

I had TNA on my little TV last night, when I saw the Steiners, I was like "what the hell", then 3D goes about praising the Steiners and the Steiners rip into 3D. What the hell is wrong with them? Can't they take a damn compliment?
What the hell was Rick doing?

I don't know, I thought it was a pretty good promo and I actually want to see the match. I know it'll be shit, but that promo is the first thing to sell me on TNA via TV alone.

My biggest problem with the promo was actually a really dumb oversight. When Devon said they knew how great the Steiners were but they never beat 3D...uh...February 3rd, 2007, The Steiners beats Team 3D at a UWF event. Just, uh, you know, nevermind...

The funny thing is, Christian left because they weren't going to use him as more than a midcarder, and they decide to push like 8 green guys in his stead.

Sting can stillkinda go, and he's pretty good outside the ring.

Angle is Angle. even as a shell, Kurt still rules.

Styles may be a spot monkey, but at least he's organically over.

If not for injuries, WWE's roster'd be better.

Yeah, if WWE still had Hunter, Heartbreak, and Taker their Main Event scene would topple TNA's...but with them out of the picture, WWE is really only left with their chosen, not so naturally over, boys...oh and Edge. But one man can't save three brands.

And for what it's worth, Cena is alright until the end of the match...

Kane Knight
05-25-2007, 07:54 PM
Cena's alright, it's just that "alright" isn't ME status.

Edge is the best thing going on both brans right now (I don't count Smackdown), and that'll only last another couple weeks. Transition Champ 4 Lyf.

Though Edge realkly makes me want to turn off my TV. Especially with his attempts to be the Rock.

McLegend

When has he tried to be The Rock?

Kane Knight

When has he tried to be The Rock?You mean besides 10 minutes ago?

Over the past couple of weeks, he's repeatedly used several of the Rock's mannerisms.

We have two of the stiffest tag teams to ever grace the squared circle in a match, its gonna be brutal.

New Age Outlaws was an awesome name.

James Gang was dumb shit.

Voodoo Kin Mafia is one of the most retarded names ever. Mainly because they as a team have nothing to do with Voodoo or the Mafia...so it's a big What The Fuck?!

...No matter what the name they're still my favorite tag team of all time regardless.

Uh, you seem to forget the Brood (Edge+Cristian, Gangrel Managing) was the greatest tag team name ever, and best tag team in general, for that matter

If you wanna compare the main event scene for both companies... just look at what the main event of the last PPV was.

WWE = Cena VS Khali
TNA = Angle VS Christian VS Sting

I know what I'd rather watch. :y:

I don't even watch scrubs and I'd take it.

Fuck, these days I more or less only watch Smackdown when my ex is over, because it's something we can watch together.

Scrubs is gay, Earl, 30 Rock and The Office carries NBC.
