You can destruct screenplays of movie, you can dissect books, you can analyze still art work. Why can't you respond to the theory of the story of professional wrestling? You obviously don't believe you can, but I do, so we're always going to be at a stand-still with that. I'll grant you that some things work well in theory and then never work out well, and some things are awful on paper and then work really well. There are definitely intangibles. But let's be honest -- TNA is not lighting the world on fire. I'm sorry, but you're apologists for the product.
I'd like to know what these answers are. Please. Tell me why Lashley throwing the belt on the ground was a good thing. Tell me why these fragmented rounds are good. Tell me why Moose had to come in as a heel just to turn face within a two months, or whatever it was? Why couldn't he just feud with Mike Bennett? You can't. That's why you went blanket "if you don't watch you won't get it." Yeah, if you don't do meth you won't get what is appealing about the lifestyle either. Sell me on TNA by explaining what is actually good in it. I tried watching the "acclaimed" Hardy stuff, and it made me think I should have spent more time studying so I could be a doctor and help people in the third world. That's how much I disassociated.
And, for the record, I DON'T watch WWE every week. In fact, I don't think I watched last week either. Backlash might have been the last thing I watched. Given that I am addicted to professional wrestling, my own problem, I have to get my fix from somewhere. WWE gets far more viewing from me than it arguably should. There are talents in that company that I do have high hopes for. But if there was a WCW-level alternative around, I guarantee you that I'd either be watching that, or that WWE would stop fucking around and start putting on a compelling product that isn't sinking every week.
And, by the way, it's hard to watch Impact Wrestling in Australia since they lost their television deal because they're so fucking awful. So there's that too.
