I was a TNA fan for the first two years, bought a lot of the PPV's until I started to not care anymore. For the next several years I would occasionally watch some TNA online if there was a really good match reported, or if I was bored. Now when Hogan and Bischoff came in I was a huge supporter, and have been watching TNA for the past three or four months.

I really thought this would be what TNA needed to become the next big thing, the opposition to WWE. And you know its not really even started yet (at least a new Monday Night War is what I am talking about) but I have lost most of my faith in the new direction.

Hogan is a cheap, skanky person. He airs all his personal and business laundry on any outlet that somebody will listen. I really thought Hogan was going to try and be a good guy, and that Eric had learned from his mistakes. But after the 1/4 show and the following tapings the shows have just gotten worse and worse.

If Hogan truly thinks that two old men "trying" to pull off a wrestling match (refering to him and Flair) that wouldn't even have been good 20 years ago is going to help TNA beat WWE, then Dixie Carter is one of the most gullible people in wrestling history.

On top of that, The Nasty Boys. Ok, really? I thought it might be fun, but its not. Its horrible. Knobbs blew up cutting a promo. It was sad.

Also, the only talent Hogan has brought in that can really work or do anything that will add to TNA is Orlando Jordan. Mr. Anderson was horrible against Abyss and okay with Jarrett (which isn't too hard). I am just very fed up and dissapointed. Hogan is trash and he is going to make TNA his dumpster for him and his other trashy friends to mess around in.

I feel your pain. You want so badly for TNA to be good. To match up to the WWE but it just falls flat on it's face, doing absolutely everything wrong.

well you can't argue with numbers , since the bishoff/hogan era with the exception of last week tna's ratings have been going up breaking the former ratings record.

It is early, but you can see all of the signs of the future. It's not all on TV either, just the way Hogan talks in interviews is enough for me to know that he is going to fuck it up.

I really don't think there can be a wrestling company as smart and good as WWE. Even WCW at its height I never thought came close to WWE. Sure it had aspects that were great but overall, they were using Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, John Tenta, Roddy Pipper etc... all these horrible WWF wrestlers that were no longer relevant to Vince's idea of sports entertainment.

What Vince says goes in the world of wrestling. Not that anyone should copy him. Hogan will try to make it more like WWE, but with his friends. And that will suck.

Till Hogan kicks the bucket!

Use a different idiom. He'll blow a knee out trying.

Then he'd REALLY be "The Immortal Hulk Hogan"!

I just hope they are just holding back until they go live on monday's permanently. Maybe they'll bring Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore into TNA again.

I can honestly say ive been watching wrestling for about 14 yrs and i have never seen the appeal of hulk hogan not in wcw, not in his return to wwe, and not in tna. can anyone tell me why this guy was such an icon? is it really just because he scoop slammed andre the giant? or am i missing something crucial?

I used to REALLY like TNA back when I watched it. Think I started sometime around when Christian turned heel and when I stopped (due to work and being busy) AJ was just turning face and Samoa Joe was champ.

I started watching it again a few shows before the live one. I have to say that it is pretty terrible compared with what it was before.

When I watched there were mutliple storylines, every match had a story to it. Feuds on different levels of the card. A healthy mix of young and old.

Now I see the only stories around revolving around old geezers, most of the young charismatic people I loved to watch are pretty much off of TV or have no storyline.

The last PPV, most of the matches were made the Thursday before the event. This month's PPV seems better, and hopefully they use it to keep me aboard.

I'm this close to stopping again. Not because of work or business, but because it is just plain bad.

This has been a spaz out by Lock Jaw. Thank you.
