Do you like TNA?
 
I watched it regularly for a while because they were very slowly improving. I stopped watching it because the booking has become pretty ridiculous. So ridiculous that I can't even stand to watch it anymore.

I'm kind of watching it tonight and it's pretty bad.

Dorkchop 07-02-2009 10:37 PM

I meant to make a poll.

Xero 07-02-2009 10:37 PM

Thread tools.

Dorkchop 07-02-2009 10:37 PM

Samoa Joe sucks and looks stupid. He was the most over thing in the company. How did they manage to fuck that up?

Dorkchop 07-02-2009 10:40 PM

There was a time when I would have voted yes.

Stickman 07-02-2009 11:01 PM

I"m tired of Angle acting like Michael Corleone.

thedamndest 07-02-2009 11:04 PM

I don't watch it regularly and have given up trying.

TSI 07-02-2009 11:06 PM

Same. Then I stopped watching, so I can't really say.

Didn't stop watching because it was so bad, but because I didn't have enough time in the week. Then just never got back into it.

Stopped around the time they were doing the World X Cup thing last year.

Started watching shortly after Christian turned heel and was feuding with Rhyno.

From when I started to when I stopped I was pretty entertained all the time.

and trying to look like Jason Statham.

Xero 07-02-2009 11:23 PM

I watched it today.

Laughed my ass off at Kurt "Wooly Willy" Angle.

redwings3431 07-03-2009 01:44 AM

i think id rather watch cats eat their own shit

Afterlife 07-03-2009 02:26 AM

I like Stevie Richards. But that is not enough to say I like TNA.

TheHaunted 07-03-2009 05:19 AM

Yes,
But it can be very frustrating to watch.
I only watch for the X-div, and the ''Originals''.

Xerzes 07-03-2009 05:30 AM

It is bad. I still watch if I can even stay awake through it.

Rammsteinmad 07-03-2009 06:58 AM

I'd say yes. It's like WWE, it's got its good and bad stuff.

Volare 07-03-2009 07:19 AM

Heh, somtimes and the only reason is, Daffney, Taylor Wilde, tara, and Angelina/Velvet are on my screen for the full 2 hours.

DeathValleyBarry 07-03-2009 09:44 AM

I watch it, and great point by Volare.

Kane Knight 07-03-2009 09:54 AM

I voted "a little," but it's not exactly like I've seen it lately, so I'm not sure about the current product. I don't hate it, but I just never remember it. Though if I remembered, I might hate it. ;)

TNA has a lot wrong with it, but that's par for the course these days.

Nicky Fives 07-03-2009 12:31 PM

I watch... but only for the people I like..... it can be frustrating at times, as one week they look like they're onto something, and the next they look like they have no clue....

LoDownM 07-03-2009 12:37 PM

I watched it last night, then when Velvet Sky wasn't on the show anymore, I changed the channel.

Gertner 07-03-2009 12:41 PM

I won't go out of my way to watch it. But I'll watch it if nothing else is on.

DAMN iNATOR 07-03-2009 12:42 PM

PROTIP: For those of you dumb-fucks, who voted, yes, sometimes, or a little bit, the obvious answer here is NO. (I.E., ":nono:")

Volare 07-03-2009 01:58 PM

First amendment dammit!

DarKCentaur 07-03-2009 05:16 PM

I'm actually shocked that "no" has the least amount of votes.

Ok, you wanna play it that way? FINE.

Would you rather watch SmackDown! every week with Jim Ross providing one half of the combined commentary...or would you rather watch TNA, with Don "Hey Look At Me, All of A Sudden, Over The Past Several Months I Grew Balls And Am Now Adversarial and Contrary About EVERY Storyline Active in TNA" West and Mike "Hey Look At Me, I Try To Emulate Jim Ross, But I Fail Miserably, Because Instead of Debating The Matches With My Partner, As I SHOULD, I Instead Foolishly Choose To Argue With Don West Pointlessly All Night For 2 Hours, Like I'm Involved In Mitch's Thread In Casual" Tenay?


HMM? Which product would you rather watch? One that's quality and actually knows how to manage their superstars properly (WWE SD!), or one (TNA) that lets every new acquisition from WWE go basically unnoticed? (Foley doesn't have the World title anymore I hear, Angle is on his way out this fall it's believed by 99% of the IWC, Booker rarely gets used, same for Steiner, Rhyno, the "War Machine" (who actually came to the local mall nearest me a couple Saturdays ago on June 20th, from 2:30-3:30pm for an autograph signing session for anyone who bought TNA trading cards (Welcome to 1986, guys!!!:lol::rofl:), sometimes gets a win but mostly loses and gets buried under the weight of everyone else. And Nash is just washed up.)

I rest my case.

so what you are saying is that you watch wrestling for the commentators?

WWE is to herpes as TNA is to Cancer. To say one prefers WWE may sound weird, just as preferring herpes sounds weird. However, when you consider the alternative, it doesn't look so weird anymore.

Lesser of two evils may still be evil, but WWE is at worst an irritating issue that's not going away....

No. I watch it for the wrestling, but it also helps when other things, such as commentators and ring announcers and interviewers can make the show more dynamic instead of one-dimensional like TNA's team in that area is. And don't even get me started on the overall ineptitude in TNA Management as opposed to WWE. That's a whole another can of worms.

Stickman 07-04-2009 12:48 PM

Mike Tennay and Don West really do bring the product down.

they did have scott hudson at one point, i like hudson he knows the names of the moves and he has quite a soothing voice.

while we are on the subject of commentators, what idiotic company has the greatest play-by-play team in the history of wrestling ( king and j.r) and puts them on different shows

and what kind of company has one of the best commentators around (joey styles) and puts him in charge of the website, WTF are wwe thinking.

although there aren't many 'OH MY GOD' moments of wwe since they became a kiddies brand.

DarKCentaur 07-04-2009 01:12 PM

I'm pretty sure the logic behind splitting up King and JR was quite sound: they were getting stale together, and each one can now groom the future of the commentary team (which, unfortunately, is a future that Cole is seemingly involved in). Grisham will fare well down the road, and I Striker will make an EXCELLENT replacement for the King.

As for Joey Styles, nevermind the fact that he's revamped wwe.com so that it's actually readable and gets a ton more traffic. He's much better suited as a 4th string commentator on TV.

DarKCentaur 07-04-2009 01:13 PM

And since we're on the subject of Cole bashing, because it makes me laugh every time:
