Dear TNA,

Before I get into the meat of subject, there are a couple of things I would like to say. First off, the reason there are so many people that are writing negative things about you isn't always because we hate you, in fact it is quiet the opposite. We see tremendous potiental to be not just good but great.

Now on to things, and the thing in paticular, timing. TNA, you have serious issues with timing, you are all over the place with it, and none of it is good. Where does timing need to be worked on? EVERYWHERE!!!!!! To be more specific, the flowing areas have huge timing problems (but these aren't nessicarily the only things): storyline (long term and short term), face/heel turns, matches, Kurt Angle's comic timing, and payoff timing. I'll now address each one.

Storylines: You seem to be all over the place. Sometime you go through an entire month worth of storylines in a single show, other times it you will drag out a month's worth of story lines into 3 months. I mean seriously how long did anyone want to see Abyss v Blackriegn and Rellik? While Christian and Angle should have lastest at least a month before they split and made their lackies deside. Now that they have split, AJ has gone 2 full Impacts without desiding who he is with so we have to wait another week to find out (not that it really should matter when Kurt and Christian are having a single's match, but this is about timing not relevence).

Face/Heel Turns: Just like storylines (in fact this could probably just be lumped in with story lines). But again you have these turns take enitrely too long or they happen too quick, also it doesn't seem to matter because no one if a face and no one is a heel, and that isn't good. I mean when is Miss Brooks going to turn on Roode? And how quick was it for Christian to turn face only to still act like a heel. Also, what the hell is Joe (besides fat). Again, I'm starting to get into relevence of storylines. But the timing is simply terrible.

Matches: You now have 2 hours for your program and and you are taped. How can you constantly go to commersial break during every match. And if you have to, why simply pick up where you left off. It is rerarded.

Kurt Angle's comic timing: He has none. Quit trying to make him funny.

Payoffs: The timing on pay offs is awful as well. To explain, you had that huge complicated fight for the right tourney. And it was suppose to be this huge important thing to show everyone in TNA has a shot. And Kaz won, it was amazing. What do you do, Kaz's gets his shot of free tv the next show after winning it and that is snuffed out. There was no storyline built around him and Angle. The timing killed any glory winning that tourney had.
Now take the Feast or Fired match, again showing anyone in TNA can get a title shot. But when to the brief case holders get to open their boxes? 2 Weeks later. Which is crap for multiple reasons, 1, one guy gets fired for something that happen 2 weeks ago, what the hell is that. Also, what is the point of a ppv when the payoffs don't happen for 2 week on free tv. The fans get everything for free anyhow. And now that they finally do have the cases open. It was never described when or where they get there title shots, and why they are still fucking around with each other. Petey Williams doesn't care about Stiener, he should be focusing on Angle. Also, we haven't even seen Road Dogg or whatever his name is in a week now.

So long story short, work on timing, then I'll tell you about relevence. :foc:

It is hard to be short and sweet when they have so many problems. :roll:

I mean I could have said, "TNA, Timing work on it." But that wouldn't explain where they are wrong or anything like that.

It is rerarded.


:lol:

Honestly, I agree with you. TNA does have timing issues. You've given some bad examples, though. Kurt Angle is a great comedic performer. I doubt calling Joe fat is going to encourage TNA to listen to you either. That's like me writing in to the WWE, telling them what is wrong, and then calling John Cena ugly. It may be true, but they're not going to listen to someone who insults one of the guys they want to make money off.

Also, there should always be a bit of consistency in the characters. Christian turning face should not make him instantly a saint. Isn't that why we get pissed off at the WWE?

Cena is ugly, and Joe is round, I'll agree with you on both of those. And sure, WWE will not listen to you anyway you cut the cheese, but throwing out the insults to their talent isn't going to help.

I doubt BDC is really out to save wrestling.
