TNA's slow death
 

Looking out the next 3 years where do you guys see TNA in the aftermath of the Hogan era? I have a bad feeling that by the fall of this year Hogan's interest in wrestling would have waned once again and TNA will most likely be left to foot the bill.

They have potential star power in the Pope, but for whatever reason there's a side rivalry between Aj & Flair v. Hogan and Abyss so that's screwed up. Not to mention Abyss makes a better monster heel than face.

Outside of that, their most recognizable stars belong on a goddamn just for men hair dying box cover & I pray everyday for Angle's sake that he retires because I refuse to believe that he is healthy/ off drugs.

If WWE is smart they'll pick up Awesome Kong, Angelina Love, & Velvet Sky which would kill the women's division and also interestingly enough TNA's highest ratings providers.

I love AJ & Joe, but I don't think either of them has the star power to take the company to the next level especially in AJ's case because the whole idea of him being a womanizing ass just doesn't work and after Flair leaves where does his character go?

As a result, TNA's best bet is to wait for WWE to release this year's crop of future endeavors (Vance Archer, Trent Barretta, maybe if they're really lucky Slam Master J or Abraham Washington) and hope it's enough to replace guys like the Pope, Matt Morgan, and Hernandez after WWE woos them away to be trainers for season 2 of NXT/ mid- carders at best on Smackdown.

By the way: SORRY ABOUT THE FLAIR AND BLACK PEOPLE THREAD. I STARTED IT AS A JOKE AND DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BECOME A KLAN RALLY.

TNA will be dead in six months.

No, not really, but people have been counting it out since it was a PPV only deal. It's hard to predict this, but I have trouble believing they won't just pump more money into it, throwing good cash after bad. Will Hogan decimate them? Probably not. Though I wish it would, as a warning to future promoters.

LAME

I don't seem to like this thread.

i fail to see how
increase in ratings and programming = death

TNA will be dead in -2 years according to most IWCers, but it's still going.

QUOTE FROM THE YEAR 2042

lol at you thinking TNA will survive more than a few more years.

I'd be shocked if they made it past 2015.

milk that piggy bank for all it's worth.

And it will keep going as long as those checks are signed.

Fucking Stupid Smarks :lol:

They've been booked badly before and they've survived against a better WWE product. You can make WCW comparisons, and justifiably so, but keep in mind there is no AOL/Time Warner merger to do away with this company.

If memory serves me correctly Russo+Hogan+Nash was the death of WCW

Is that all you can say?
