Sell me TNA
 
Thats right. I've watched a full show of TNA about 4 times, if that. And when I come on here, I hear the same negatives that I hear about WWE. Storylines aren't any good, there isn't any consistency, there are too many spot monkeys etc.

So some one sell me TNA, tell me its good points. What are the reasons I should pay attention to them as opposed to WWE?

Also, I checked out the website. Apparently Raven has a new stable, The Serotonin? Is it the same deal as the flock? And who is in it this time?

IC Champion 10-05-2007 07:40 PM

Not even the man who sold Gigli to Columbia Pictures could pull that one off.

Kane Knight 10-05-2007 07:56 PM

Did you like WCW>

Lord-Of-Darkness 10-05-2007 07:57 PM

I watched Nitro in 97/98. But Didn't watch it after that. Which era of WCW does it resemble?

Ahh, Russo didnt go to WCW until the end of 98, at which point it was already a sinking ship.

Lord-Of-Darkness 10-05-2007 08:33 PM

So nothing worthwhile in TNA?

They sometimes pull off decent, and sometimes excellent matches. But for every good match you get 50 Russo angles and Sharkboy joke matches.

Xero 10-05-2007 09:11 PM

If you haven't noticed, I despise Sharkboy and any other gimmick like it where they rely on ass biting, comedic handshakes and "HOW'D HE DO DAT!?" spots.

Crossrine 10-05-2007 09:15 PM

You might also hate him more for suing the kids movie "SharkBoy and Lava Girl" for using the name Shark Boy. Actually taking it to court, suing for a couple million dollars, and the movie never even did well. It got horrible reviews, literally the crappiest crap in craptown. Yet he still thought it was stealing his "gimmick". lol

Xero 10-05-2007 09:17 PM

Hey, I don't care about that. As far as I'm concerned, if he DID own the trademark he had the right to, and should have sued.

Crossrine 10-05-2007 09:21 PM

But its still kind of funny how seriously he takes his gimmick. Plus maybe if it was worth suing for, or fuck maybe if anyone knew who the hell you were?

Dude. Would you want your name attached to that PoS?

Crossrine 10-05-2007 09:38 PM

:-\ Good point..

Kane Knight 10-05-2007 09:51 PM

I'd sue them for every last cent in hopes that it never saw the light of day.

FourFifty 10-05-2007 10:15 PM

Deal. I've been looking to get rid of that diet pepsi for a while now anywho....

FourFifty 10-05-2007 10:26 PM

As the new onwner of TNA, the next PPV's main event will be Kurt Angle vs Vince Russo, in a shoot fight.

Crossrine 10-05-2007 10:27 PM

Can you force Raven to become his former ECW self?

Lord-Of-Darkness 10-05-2007 10:28 PM

Wait, didn't you just sell me TNA? Get off my main event, so I can book the same thing and take credit for it.

Crossrine 10-05-2007 10:32 PM

Just someone take charge already! The diet soda is going to go flat..

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 10:32 PM

It is still techincally wrestler and it has 2 hours of cable tv every week.

Honestly TNA is nearly half as bad as people make it out to be, especially on these boards. It has probelms, no doubt... but they aren't the anti-christ of professional wrestling. The one thing I keep seeing as a downside to TNA is that they try so hard to be new and innovative that they often lose sight of what professional wrestling is actually supposed to be. You can only see so many new "Monster's Ball", "Ultimate X", "Raven's playhouse", "Electric cage", "20 foot scaffold", and "Last Rights" matches inside of a non-traditional 6-sided ring before you just want to see something that isn't new but has been proven to work. Every once in awhile just a wrestling match is what people want to see and TNA rarely delivers that. And 70% of the time when they do deliver it, it is ruined by a run in of some sort. They just have too many ideas for too many people. They just really need to calm down, take a look at their current situation, and pick a few angles/gimmicks they want to run with instead of trying to throw 90 of them into a one hour show.

Other than some of the things I just stated, the actual performers I beleive have the potential to sell if they are marketed right. That just remains to be seen.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen anyone make TNA out to be the Antichrist.

Sell me TNA
And over here sir, you'll notice another one of our promotions. Now this one may have the engine of a 2001 WCW, but make no mistake about it, it comes with a third of those annoying fans that fallowed WCW. Plus we've painted over the "traditional" and given it a new look. If you get down here and check out the ring, it's not one of those simply 4 sided things, we cranked this pupy up a notch and gave it two more sides. Not really needed, but it certainly makes it stand out some. And over here, were ring psychology is normally used, we tossed that out and threw in spot after spot. REALLY good when you're looking to pick up some idiots. And our final change we made, if you look in here, most promotions have feuds that hold 2 people, sometimes 3....well not this baby! We've got so many people involved with feuds, not only can we not fit them all into hour time slot, but half the time by the end we can't even remember who was supposed to be feuding with who in the first place. We're big believers in the more the merrier. So, what do I have to do to sell this promotion to you today?

The One 10-06-2007 09:13 PM

Having mocked it, I might as well take this time to confess, TNA is at least better than SmackDown last time I checked.

BigDaddyCool 10-06-2007 09:53 PM

No, Smackdown > TNA because of JBL.

Skippord 10-06-2007 09:54 PM

Don West > JBL

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON BRIGHT MICHAEL

BigDaddyCool 10-06-2007 09:54 PM

Skippord, we are now mortal enemies.

Skippord 10-06-2007 10:02 PM

lol

The One 10-06-2007 10:05 PM

Don West = One of the worst things to ever happen to wrestling.

JBL = The best man behind the booth working today.

Skippord = Dumb crackhead.

Kane Knight 10-06-2007 11:22 PM

Skippord actually just lowered himself below SammyG and br0ken.

Skippord 10-06-2007 11:33 PM

haha
