This Whole Thing Could Be Good In The End...
I was only just thinkin that that this whole WWE slump is pissing EVERYONE off right now. But this could be a good thing...
with NWA-TNA looking to be coming up as a recognisable second best, and the WWE falling below all expectations this may very well be the shake up WWE needs. within a year or so, no doubt TNA wil start acquiring WWE talent. This will start to shake the WWE like it was in the attitude era - thanks to WCW- because as we all know its since 2001ish that the company has gone downhill. We may have to put up with it for now, but the result looks promising.

Monday night war style material may be headed our way again!

It's a long shot.

However, it's a perfect timing for TNA.

Anyways, Russo doesn't help either.

I've never seen an episode of TNA in my life, and the only way I know about it is from these forums. From what I hear, they put a lot of money on the line to bring in big names, and they are pretty strapped for cash at the moment. I don't think that they would be able to bring in anymore big guys, so they will need their talent to step up, and their writers to come up with good storylines. If this happens, then there will be some good competition between TNA and WWE, which would cause both of them to put on quality wrestling

TNA is still a huge longshot. WWE is just crappy cuz Vince knows he can. I doubt TNA would really benefit from this, as the WWE would still keep their biggest stars.

I like watching TNA much more than the WWE right now. Its fresh and also old. There's the new kids in AJ, Kash, Abyss and the old vets like Raven, Jarrett, K-Kwik. Plus all of the X-Divison. OMG the X-Division is what the Cruiserweight Division should be.

Plus Smackdown should showcase the cruiserweight division each week. Fuck title matches. Just have random matches between Kidman/Noble, Kidman/Mysterio, Hurricane/Noble etc. Just like WCW. WWE sucks

The only problem I can see is that it could take ages for TNA to get a good tv deal on a network or cable station everyone pretty much gets. Its a longshot, but WWE might even have time to turn themselves around by then.

TNA won't be even CLOSE to competing with the WWE for another 3-4 years. ESPECIALLY with Jarret holding down the talent. He is seriously the worst thing for that company. Well...that or Russo .

TNA's "safe, yet not safe" action, properly cultivated, may motivate Vince to get off his ass, but it'll take a couple of years before any of that happens.

but yeah, Vince Russo needs to STAY AWAY FROM THE CAMERAS and Jeff Jarrett needs to STAY AWAY FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT AND THE HHH JUICE!

TNA will be out of business soon enough.

If only people relaized how low their ratings were, you'd understand why they will never provide competition for the WWE.

Here's the thing though, no matter how bad the WWE gets, TNA wont benefit because they aren't on the map. I have plenty of friends who I would consider casual wrestling fans (ie they were watching when Austin and Rock were hot but have since left) and they've never heard of TNA.

WCW when they were trying to compete with WWE had years and years on a major cable network, and ran PPVs and house shows just like the WWE. TNA is on a lousy station in a horrible time slot, so nobody knows they exist (outside their loyal following that order their weekly PPVs).

So even if the WWE starts putting out an even worse product, its not like the fans are waiting to switch to TNA, they have no idea it exists. Unless they were to get a prime time TV slot, this will never change.

Actually, it just boggles my mind as to why Smackdown has gone where it has... Taker is still shooting lightning bolts (despite Tazz telling us that it's all a mindset), JBL DIDN'T get fired after GAB (a rumor that I prayed would be true), Cena's losing heat quick but they still won't stop pushing him, and Kurt Angle is shocking the world with his daringly original GM gimmick [/sarcasm]. Normally I'd say that all this talk about the WWE turning to garbage is ignorant, but even Raw is beginning to feel the effects of Smackdown. (Bizzaro-world Raw from Quebec was the worst Raw I've seen since the HHH/Steiner muscle making contest) I think rather than a Monday night War, there should be a Thursday night war. Smackdown would go to the shitter, nobody would watch, and finally things would get turned around.

Speaking of timeslots, does anyone know the ratings for Impact for the last few weeks? Maybe if we sent around a petition to get Fox Sports Net to change the timeslot they'll put it on in the evening rather than the afternoon.

IMPACT HAS A 3.6 ON AVERAGE FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

TNA FOR THE MOST PART IS PRETTY BAD. DURING SOME OF THE MATCHES I HAVE SEEN, THE MOVES WERE SLOPPY WITH BAD TIMING, THESE GUYS COULD HURT EACH OTHER. HOWEVER, SOME OF THEIR STARS ARE VERY TALENTED, BUT VERY FEW.

THE PEOPLE OF TNA MAY BE PUSHING A SHOPPING CART IN A FEW YEARS
