What's the deal with this guy on TNA?

I read that he was on Survivor or something. I can't wait for the wrestling Channel in the UK so I can watch TNA. :)

God, I can't stand that guy. And I don't mean in a "getting heat, good heel" type of way. More of a "I paid $10 to see this shit, wtf is he doing on?" type of way.

TNA is mince so don't think you are getting an alternative to WWE because as much as I want there to be one, this ain't one.

I've seen a bit of TNA, the one where Sting turned up and they were banging on about Hogan.

I like some of the guys on their roster though such as AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Low Ki.

They have their good moments fair enough but in my opinion, they are ten times worse than WCW when they were at their worst. The minute I saw Jeff Jarrett think he is Stone Cold, it pretty much completely put me off it.

The main problem is the Production values I would say, plus I'm not a big fan of small rings what's the deal with them?

Also I think they should stay away from some of these "big names". I don't think a guy like Lex Luger will do much for them. Although I know next to nothing about running a wrestling federation :)

Simple business - How many people do you think buy tickets to see Luger? Next to none if any at all. Why pay him then?

As much as I dislike Rob Feinstein, If ROH had the TNA deal then we'd be laughing.

RoH is pretty cool, I saw a really good 4-way tag team match involving The SAT, Backseat Boys, 2 members of Special K and some other team who's name escapes me from an event last year. One of the best tag matches I've seen. I think RoH sort of benefits from it's current image and I doubt that it would be as interesting with people like Luger fighting in it, if it were to go the same way as TNA.

Will you be watching The wrestling Channel, Rob?

I'll watch it now and again.

I had major complaints with that match you mentioned too. There was like 2 pin attempts in the whole match. Not realistic in the slightest.

Granted, but ROH is pure wrestling fed, as in they don't appeal to the casual fan who's into storylines. Personally i'm a big fan, but i feel that they would have to change the basis of the what the federation is based on to be sucessful

Johnny Fairplay is a Survivor candidate who thought he was a wrestler. He did the Ric Flair strut, and called people "sucka" and stuff on the game.

After it was over, he signed with NWA TNA to help cash in on his 'image' he had created.

I don't mind Johnny Fairplay. He has good heat, and sure he is annoying, but damn, it is good to see the faces beat his ass down.

Need more info? PM me.
