To everyone who doesn't watch TNA?
 

Is there one person who, if they signed for any role in the company, would make you watch it?
RVD might make me want to watch it, but if I could see Eric Bishoff once a week as just a figurehead I'd make it a point ot watch it.

Kurt Angle

I don't watch TNA because of conflicting schedules. I go out into the world on Thursday nights.

But when you added a question mark to your statemtn "To everyone who doesn't watch TNA" that drew me to this thread.

Jericho, maybe. but if they used him like everyone else, even that'd only last 2 eps.

Nope.

Huzzah for the typo!

Paul Heyman, Paul London, Paul Burchill, Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar or Shelton Benjamin.

The Rock (authority figure I'm assuming)

I watched a couple of weeks when Sting debuted. I watched a couple of weeks when Angle debuted. It is always the same shit, so I don't bother with it.

The only reason I don't watch it is because I'm either asleep or out when it's on.

The Rock and Chris Jericho.

The Rock for his charisma and promos
Jericho because Jericho is god

Daniel Puder.

I'd watch if they got rid of Jarrett and Russo. Otherwise, I don't care who they bring in: It'll suck.

After reading some of the ideas, yea, Puder, Punk, and Shelton would make me watch.

Well, there's only a handful of wrestlers that I mark for in WWE (RVD being one) but if they all somehow ended up in TNA, then I MIGHT be inclined to watch.

If they took AJ Styles and Abyss OFF their program I might watch more often.

:shifty:

I do watch TNA but I would never miss an episode if they signed Benoit.

If they hire a new crowd and got their faces and heels straight I'd watch regularly.

They have the starpower now for me to watch, it's the fans and the booking that's keeping me away.

(Now someone's going to come in and compare what I just said to the WWE.)

If the following events unfold, I'll watch religiously:

Paul Heyman comes out with a chair and goes to the announcers table to confront Don West....then out of nowhere RVD gives West the Van Daminator. Heyman would then have to sit at the announcers table, grab the headset and take over permanently. Then as West was being taken up the ramp on a stretcher, Sabu would come off the top guard rail and give him an Atomic Arabian Face Buster across his throat, crushing his vocal chords so he could never rape my ears with his hellish voice again.

That happens and I'll watch every week.

Stone Cold
Jericho
Rock

Actually, Heyman in TNA would probably promote my viewership too.

I really thought Angle would, but...

And Dutt, and so long as they are cutting useless fat, Sabin could get a swift boot and I would certainly stick around post-Nash more often...

To be honest, it's not even the "lunatic" or "self destructive" parts that make me not like him in TNA. It's the "Now that I've moved to the minors, I'm going to whine about WWE like everyone else, instead of asskicking. I will become as generic as humanly possible."

I'm not entirely sure how much Heyman would help, though. Mostly because I'm not sure Heyman would get free reign. Or even close. Though maybe if they fired Russo and were serious about booking well. But I'm not sure if they are serious about competing with WWE. It almost seems like it's a lighthearted joke.

And after that I'm sure you haven't watched in over a month.

What exactly is everyone's problem with TNA? TNA has been nothing short of phenominal for the past 2-3 months, definately better than any other national wrestling product on TV right now, bar none. Have you guys actually watched Impact and the PPV's for the past 2-3 months or have you just read spoilers/people bitching on forums and just don't watch because of that?

His persona's no different than his WWE heel persona; he's just a really intense heel.

So basically you don't watch because of the opinions of a bunch of people who complain about everything.

Watched last week. sorry, not impressed. Didn't watch this week as a result.

You know, the best thing to do, if you're not attempting to be inflammatory in your posts, is NOT make a huge deal out of an agreement.

I'd say you might find me more agreeable if even your compliments and praise didn't come from a cock, but let's face it. You wouldn't. :p

I don't know if Heyman can do what Sting, Angle, Cage, etc. could not do. If he was given free reign or a large chunk of creative control, he could seriously turn things around, but I don't think that'll happen. And as such, I don't think Heyman will draw in new people, as his onscreen persona's probably not going to pull people in.

And that's really that. I'm hard pressed to believe that he would make an impact on viewers. Backstage morale? Maybe, but I doubt morale's going to spike in a company where you work twice a month and get a huge chunk of your living elsewhere, before coming back to job to Jarrett.

Maybe it is, I don't know. But I don't see Heyman doing much good unless he's actually hands on.

Read Eric Bischoff's book, Controversy Creates Ca$h. He talks about the role the fans play in a match. Up until reading that part I thought it was bs. However, break out your wrestling DVDs and try to watch Bret Hart vs Steve Austin, WMXIII, and take the fans out of the picture. It'll suck. Same with Hulk Hogan vs The Undertaker, Survivor Series '91. Eddie vs Chavo, Bash At The Beach (can't recall the year).
So yes, if TNA got a new crowd who knew what a face was, and knew what a heel was, I'd watch it.

People who don't watch something do it because they legitimately feel it's not worth watching no matter the reason. If we don't want to watch it, that's our business.

Since I'm still not watching even though Kurt Angle is in it, I don't know if there really is anyone to get me to watch. I was a big Angle fan, but because of all the BS that happened from his WWE departure to his TNA debut, I refuse to support his decision.

RVD maybe close, since he is my current favorite. But even then, I could probably only watch his segments.

Something remotely interesting.
