TNA is terrible
 
The Alpha male promo was awful, alot of wrestlers look green and the booking sucks (like when all hell broke loose).

Loose Cannon 03-04-2005 08:14 PM

forgot to watch again :nono:

Tommorrow I will watch and then post a response

PullMyFinger 03-04-2005 08:19 PM

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I thought I was the only person that thought that when I saw it! I was like w...t....f......no wonder why people say TNA will never get popular. Oh well. hahahaha After that part, I fell asleep though. I'll probably watch it tonight or tomorrow night.

Shaggy 03-04-2005 09:03 PM

I missed it yet again....damn NFL Street 2 game took me over for a while and I completely forgot. I was gonna set my VCR for midnight tomorrow for the replay but now I just found out it comes ou Sunday at 4 am.....WTF....when did they change this over...

Mike the Metal Ed 03-04-2005 09:06 PM

TNA was pretty good in mid 2003, but with Jarrett's belt hogging and talent leaving left and right, it's really starting to look dead.

SuperSlim 03-04-2005 09:18 PM

wait when is the replay? I forgot all about it this afternoon

Supermark101 03-04-2005 09:21 PM

The Mike Teney and that other guy are the worst part of the show. I can't stand to listening to the other guy. I can can deal with the guys being green They are young, and TNA doen't run house so guys can inprove. I don't like the main event scene at all. Although I do like having AJ Styles being one of the top guys, but still wrestling X-division matches. It give crediablity to a division full of green wrestlers.

SuperSlim 03-04-2005 09:38 PM

well they do have some good talent inthe X division, Fallen Angel, Primetime, Petey Williams, others. The world title scene needs ot be shaken up majorly.

Also they need to re-establish Raven as the main eventer that he is.

PullMyFinger 03-04-2005 10:40 PM

TNA definitely does have some decent talent though....but they're used poorly. I wish they'd get two hours for a legit show b/c right now it feels like 1 hour WCW Saturday Night. I wish they'd have real feuds, get rid of that piece of shit Dusty Rhodes, get rid of the commentators and have Scott Hudson and Shane Douglas, and GET THAT BELT OFF JARRET!

Shadow 03-04-2005 10:42 PM

TNA ain't all bad. They do have Jeff Hardy.

But yeah...get the belt off Jarret, stop all the incest in the company, and give us more than an hour each show.

Also stop the dumb ass fueds between Abyss and Jeff Hardy. Really. Just stop it. Now.

PullMyFinger 03-04-2005 10:46 PM

I'd love the see the show expand to two hours and go on FX on Monday Nights from 9-11. Regardless if they may not even be on the same scale of the WWE, there will be competition...and if someone is flipping channels on Monday night and sees em both, they're gonna say "whoa, they're in competition." TNA needs to fix a number of shit up though before making that big move. They need to acquire more talent, be more edgy and not cartoonish, and get rid of the people that I listed above.

Shaggy 03-04-2005 10:48 PM

They need to change some things up.....

#1-No One watches TNA for the Heavyweight title matches anymore....
They have been so devoted to trying to get the x-division out there that its the best part of the show. No one cares who the champ is fighting each week they just care for all the high flying action.

#2-Some stars need some credit back.....
Like it was already said. Raven is someone that should be going for the heavyweight belt right now. So are alot of people but the dont get enough credit and dont get the chance to go for it.

#3-Jeff Hardy Is Not Heavyweight Material (sorry Shadow)......
Jeff Hardy is more like a x-division wrestler. The fact that they put him in the heavyweight title chase in the beginning just pissed me off so much. If they would of made him champ I would of never watched it again. He was build in WWE to be a high flyer person so he should be in the x-division....not running for the big belt

and also I think Jarrett is gonna lost the title finally to DDP at the next ppv.

PullMyFinger 03-04-2005 10:50 PM

I agree. Raven has to be champ.

Dude...I know what you're saying about Jeff not being Heavyweight Material. The only thing is all bumps Jeff took in the WWE has made it almost impossible for him to do the stuff the other X-Division flyers can do. So...ug.

Now if they gave the title to Jeff right off the bat....it would've been one in the eye for Vince and Co. So...yeah.

MVP 03-04-2005 11:18 PM

The thing I love about TNA is that the main event isn't a huge part of the shows like RAW is HHH, and just about every feud gets a good amount of hype. That being said, I also think TNA's main event scene is a joke. I almost never pay attention to it unless I know someone is worth watching. I watch to see guys like AJ, Daniels, Sabin, Prime Time, AMW, Team Canada, etc.

SuperSlim 03-04-2005 11:25 PM

TNA has the guys that we want to watch, they can deliver. they just need somethin better written.

RemyRed 03-04-2005 11:53 PM

It does pretty much suck now due to their impatience. I mean it just seems like they wanna be in competition with the WWE right now instead of just biding their time and making more money and superstars. Remember back when it first started how there were guys like Low Ki, Sting, Ron Killings, Ken Shamrock in the main event scene? Now there's Jeff Jarrett, DDP, Kevin Nash. It's like instead of using the talent they had they brought in some well known names that people will recognise, but are sick of.

PullMyFinger 03-05-2005 12:13 AM

The only problem is lack of good storyline in TNA besides X Division, and getting the belt off Jarret. The talent they have is great, and with good storyline, they'd be real good. Another Monday Night Wars would be great.

I agree.

Innovator 03-05-2005 12:47 AM

Honestly TNA needs to have Tenay and West shut the fuck up for two seconds in the match.

West also sells every spot as the best thing since sliced bread #2.

Yeah but neither is Jarret.

Boondock Saint 03-05-2005 03:49 AM

Their storylines blow hard, which is what turns me off from it everytime I remember it is on.

I'm always like "OHH yeah, TNA is on now. Gonna check it out." The show is either a bunch of pointless matches (whether they are good or not does not hold my interest entirely, I need a good reason why these people are fighting each other), or it's friggin Jarrett with the belt. UGH.

Oh, or I see Dusty Rhodes and a truck full of hay. :wtf:

Nervous Ferret 03-05-2005 04:15 AM

What time is TNA on? and what chanel?

SuperSlim 03-05-2005 07:48 AM

ao is the replay tonight?

Hardkore Kidd J 03-05-2005 09:07 AM

TNA isn't that bad. I've never watched a full show. But, that's just because at 4 on Fridays I'm always at work. And the only TV that gets that channel in my house is mine and I don't have a VCR for my room. SO I'd often watch like 30 minutes at 12:30 in the morning on Friday. From what I've seen it isn't half bad. At least you don't get Jarret talking for 30 minutes how he is the best.

SuperSlim 03-05-2005 09:14 AM

but for the short amount of tv time they have he talks more than enough when he does

Hardkore Kidd J 03-05-2005 09:18 AM

Must be just my luck then cause whenever I turn on my TV some good matches are taking place.

M-A-G 03-05-2005 09:23 AM

They've been doing horribly financially and storyline-wise since the get-go regardless of who their top stars have been. They need some heavy duty focus in a lot of areas like finding some real top face stars to connect with the crowd, better storytelling in the mid-card, and general good booking. The whole thing reminds me of WCW Saturday Night and it gives off an aura of ECW and that's not a good thing. Where's the drama? The lengthy drawn-out feuds? The $250,000 Diva Search? OK, maybe not the last one but SOMETHING to add a little oomph into the company aside from "Jarrett keeps the title, random indy guys get squashed, X-Division guys do some flippy things, some other guy gets signed to the promotion". I know I'm opening a whole can of worms with this but seriously, I actually fell asleep for the first time watching wrestling and it was during an edition of Impact!. I heard January and February's PPVs were pretty tight but unless they can get a few more million people to give a crap, I don't foresee too bright a future for them.

I seriously think TNA's current problems would have not exsisted if they had used AJ Styles as their "Marquee Name". Sure, not everybody knows who he is but He can wrestle, fly, and brawl. He is the best all around wrestle in TNA. I think AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels should have been put in the Main Event scene from the "Impact! Era" get-go and then these two could redefine wrestling.

The X Division is gold, but AJ and Daniels are better than the X-Division. They should be headlining PPV's. That Ironman match should have been the World title.

The same things that killed WCW is going to kill TNA. They got rid of Russo, but Jeff Jarrett is going to kill TNA, unless he realizes nobody gives a fuck about Jeff Jarrett.

Boondock Saint 03-06-2005 04:12 AM

I tried watching the 12:00 am replay. I got a half hour into it, then Mars Attacks on TBS was able to hold my attention more.

James Steele 03-06-2005 05:20 AM

HOLY SHIT...


I am watching the 4 AM replay of IMPACT! and saw the Monty Brown promo. All I can say is WHAT THE FUCK?



Seriously, what the fuck was that? I regret muting HHH on RAW as soon as he said, "Let me remind you just who in the hell I am..."


Monty Brown = :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Justdisturbed 03-06-2005 07:20 AM

good call jamessteele - AJ and Fallen Angel shouldl definitely have headlining matches

im getting seriously futtin sick that "title hogging", "daddy's hand holding" little shit Jeff Jarrett

just a question has anyone ever held a 'world title' in any federation as long as JJ?

Astley316 03-06-2005 11:17 AM

I watched a little tna, this afternoon, but were 2 months behind on the wrestling channel, it was the nash jarret pres comfrence, and jeff hardy had a match against someone, then got attacked by that abyss dude, he looks like a rip off of mankind, it didnt look too bad, that ring takes a lil gettung used to tho

Honestly I don't know why they haven't when it's obvious that AJ Styles is the most over guy and essentially IS TNA.

Kane Knight 03-06-2005 07:49 PM

STFU, Savior. ALPHA MALE IS THE BOMB!
Well, he bombs, anyway
Watch your mouth or you will get...THE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNCE!

Dusty: "Hey, you know Styles has just been voted MVP of TNA by fans again?"

Jarrett: "So how do you think I should win my match tonight, Dream?"

Dusty: "Jeff, about Styles..."

Jarrett: "Yeh, I'm thinking guitar shot too."

Dusty: "But Jeff, the fans want to see...

Jarrett: "Yep, that guitar shot never fails"

Dusty: "You're just hearing what you want to, aren't you."

Jarrett: "Thanks, I'd love an omlette right about now"

No...if there was really a conversation between them two, then I'm pretty sure Dusty would be trying to get himself a title shot and not Styles.

And he'd be more likely than AJ styles.
